    INTRODUCTION

    The Development in Science & technology has brought tremendous change in

    business strategy. The globalization has its own inspect on the industrial

    environment making it competitive. Hence, to survive in the market the Captains of

    the industries perforce have to keep themselves addressed with changing

    environment and adopt new techniques of their resource management.

    The human resource in any organization is not important but Valuable to any

    organization. This significant resource. Warrant due consideration executives and

    managers right from the beginning. They have to take into account organizational

    deployment and adopt new strategies for recruitment of the best talent available. The

    talent available in the marketing is plenty but requirement is to recruit a suitable

    talent as per the job requirement and the requirement of the organization. The

    different organ may choose their own systems but the and result by selecting the

    best will go a long way to fulfill the organizational goals.

    The function of Human Resource Executive/Personnel managers does not end

    merely at selection stage rather it begins from that step because the talent so selected

    is required to be developed to fulfill the organizational interest or

    the goals so that there is an overall prosperity of both the organization & the

    individual. Towards this end the importance of recruitment & selection of the desired

    talent enhances the potential and opportunity for the organizations to and achieve its

    objectives.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The success and failure of the organization largely depends on the human or

    employees working in the organization. So recruitment and selection both are very

    important and they are concerned with obtaining, organizing, and motivating the

    human resources required by the enterprise.

    Research was carried out to understand the practices of recruitment and

    selection followed by Alcon Cables ltd, Rajpura. To understand the formulation of

    recruitment and selection policies in the company and to give the suggestions for

    improvement in recruitment and selection procedures currently followed by the

    company.

    Through this report I was also able to understand, recruitment is sometimes

    confused with employment. The two are not one and the same. Recruitment is just

    one step in the process of employment. Similarly recruitment and selection are also

    different in nature. The function of recruitment precedes the selection process.

    Recruitment is concerned with developing suitable techniques for attracting more

    and more candidates while selection is the process of finding out the most suitable

    candidate for the job.

    Meaning of Working Capital

    Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories via,

    1) Fixed Capital

    2) Working Capital

    Every business needs funds for two purposes for its establishment and to carry

    out its day- to-day operations. Long terms funds are required to create production

    facilities through purchase of fixed assets such as p&m, land, building, furniture, etc.

    Investments in these assets represent that part of firms capital which is blocked on

    permanent or fixed basis and is called fixed capital. Funds are also needed for short-

    term purposes for the purchase of raw material, payment of wages and other day

    to- day expenses etc.

    These funds are known as working capital. In simple words, working capital refers to

    that part of the firms capital which is required for financing short- term or current

    assets such as cash, marketable securities, debtors & inventories. Funds, thus,

    invested in current assts keep revolving fast and are being constantly converted in to

    cash and this cash flows out again in exchange for other current assets. Hence, it is

    also known as revolving or circulating capital or short term capital.

    CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL

    There are two concepts of working capital:

    1. Gross working capital

    2. Net working capital

    The gross working capital is the capital invested in the total current assets of the

    enterprises current assets are those

    Assets which can convert in to cash within a short period normally one accounting

    year.

    CONSTITUENTS OF CURRENT ASSETS

    1) Cash in hand and cash at bank2) Bills receivables

    3) Sundry debtors

    4) Short term loans and advances.

    5) Inventories of stock as:

    a. Raw material

    b. Work in process

    c. Stores and spares

    d. Finished goods

    6. Temporary investment of surplus funds.

    7. Prepaid expenses

    8. Accrued incomes.

    9. Marketable securities.

    In a narrow sense, the term working capital refers to the net working. Net working

    capital is the excess of current assets over current liability, or, say:

    NET WORKING CAPITAL = CURRENT ASSETSCURRENT LIABILITIES.

    Net working capital can be positive or negative. When the current assets exceeds the

    current liabilities are more than the current assets. Current liabilities are those

    liabilities, which are intended to be paid in the ordinary course of business within a

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    12/58

    short period of normally one accounting year out of the current assts or the income

    business.

    CONSTITUENTS OF CURRENT LIABILITIES

    1. Accrued or outstanding expenses.2. Short term loans, advances and deposits.

    3. Dividends payable.

    4. Bank overdraft.

    5. Provision for taxation , if it does not amt. to app. Of profit.

    6. Bills payable.

    7. Sundry creditors.

    The gross working capital concept is financial or going concern concept whereas net

    working capital is an accounting concept of working capital. Both the concepts have

    their own merits.

    The gross concept is sometimes preferred to the concept of working capital for the

    following reasons:

    1. It enables the enterprise to provide correct amount of working capital at correct

    time.

    2. Every management is more interested in total current assets with which it has to

    operate then the source from where it is made available.

    3. It take into consideration of the fact every increase in the funds of the enterprise

    would increase its working capital.

    4. This concept is also useful in determining the rate of return on investments in

    working capital. The net working capital concept, however, is also important for

    following reasons:

    It is qualitative concept, which indicates the firms ability to meet to its

    operating expenses and short-term liabilities.

    IT indicates the margin of protection available to the short term creditors.

    It is an indicator of the financial soundness of enterprises.

    CLASSIFICATION OF WORKING CAPITAL

    Working capital may be classified in to ways:

    o On the basis of concept.

    o On the basis of time.

    On the basis of concept working capital can be classified as gross working capital

    and net working capital. On the basis of time, working capital may be classified as:

    working capital.

    PERMANENT OR FIXED WORKING CAPITAL

    Permanent or fixed working capital is minimum amount which is required to ensureeffective utilization of fixed facilities and for maintaining the circulation of current

    assets. Every firm has to maintain a minimum level of raw material, work- in-

    process, finished goods and cash balance. This minimum level of current assts is

    called permanent or fixed working capital as this part of working is permanently

    blocked in current assets. As the business grow the requirements of working capital

    also increases due to increase in current assets.

    TEMPORARY OR VARIABLE WORKING CAPITAL

    Temporary or variable working capital is the amount of working capital which is

    required to meet the seasonal demands and some special exigencies. Variable

    working capital can further be classified as seasonal working capital and special

    working capital. The capital required to meet the seasonal need of the enterprise is

    called seasonal working capital. Special working capital is that part of working

    capital which is required to meet special exigencies such as launching of extensive

    marketing for conducting research, etc.

    Temporary working capital differs from permanent working capital in the sense that

    is required for short periods and cannot be permanently employed gainfully in the

    business.

    of the investors and can raise more funds in future.

    confidence, high morale which results in overall efficiency in a business.

    EXCESS OR INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL

    Every business concern should have adequate amount of working capital to run its

    business operations. It should have neither redundant or excess working capital nor

    inadequate nor shortages of working capital. Both excess as well as short workingcapital positions are bad for any business. However, it is the inadequate working

    capital which is more dangerous from the point of view of the firm.

    DISADVANTAGES OF REDUNDANT OR EXCESSIVE WORKING CAPITAL

    1. Excessive working capital means ideal funds which earn no profit for the firm

    and business cannot earn the required rate of return on its investments.

    2. Redundant working capital leads to unnecessary purchasing and accumulation

    of inventories.

    3. Excessive working capital implies excessive debtors and defective credit policy

    which causes higher incidence of bad debts.

    4. It may reduce the overall efficiency of the business.

    5. If a firm is having excessive working capital then the relations with banks and

    other financial institution may not be maintained.

    6. Due to lower rate of return n investments, the values of shares may also fall.

    7. The redundant working capital gives rise to speculative transactions

    DISADVANTAGES OF INADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL

    Every business needs some amounts of working capital. The need for working

    capital arises due to the time gap between production and realization of cash from

    sales. There is an operating cycle involved in sales and realization of cash. There are

    time gaps in purchase of raw material and production; production and sales; and

    realization of cash.

    Thus working capital is needed for the following purposes:

    For the purpose of raw material, components and spares.

    To pay wages and salaries

    To incur day-to-day expenses and overload costs such as office expenses.

    To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising, etc.

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    17/58

    To provide credit facilities to the customer.

    To maintain the inventories of the raw material, work-in-progress, stores and

    spares and finished stock.

    For studying the need of working capital in a business, one has to study the businessunder varying circumstances such as a new concern requires a lot of funds to meet its

    initial requirements such as promotion and formation etc. These expenses are called

    preliminary expenses and are capitalized. The amount needed for working capital

    depends upon the size of the company and ambitions of its promoters. Greater the

    size of the business unit, generally larger will be the requirements of the working

    capital.

    The requirement of the working capital goes on increasing with the growth and

    expensing of the business till it gains maturity. At maturity the amount of working

    capital required is called normal working capital.

    There are others factors also influence the need of working capital in a business.

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    18/58

    FACTORS DETERMINING THE WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    1. NATURE OF BUSINESS: The requirements of working is very limited in public

    utility undertakings such as electricity, water supply and railways because they offer

    cash sale only and supply services not products, and no funds are tied up ininventories and receivables. On the other hand the trading and financial firms

    requires less investment in fixed assets but have to invest large amt. of working

    capital along with fixed investments.

    2. SIZE OF THE BUSINESS: Greater the size of the business, greater is the

    requirement of working capital.

    3. PRODUCTION POLICY: If the policy is to keep production steady by

    accumulating inventories it will require higher working capital.

    4. LENTH OF PRDUCTION CYCLE: The longer the manufacturing time the raw

    material and other supplies have to be carried for a longer in the process with

    progressive increment of labor and service costs before the final product is obtained.

    So working capital is directly proportional to the length of the manufacturing

    process.

    5. SEASONALS VARIATIONS: Generally, during the busy season, a firm requires

    larger working capital than in slack season.

    6. WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE: The speed with which the working cycle

    completes one cycle determines the requirements of working capital. Longer the

    cycle larger is the requirement of working capital.

    7. RATE OF STOCK TURNOVER: There is an inverse co-relationship between

    the question of working capital and the velocity or speed with which the sales are

    affected. A firm having a high rate of stock turnover wuill needs lower amt. of

    working capital as compared to a firm having a low rate of turnover.

    8. CREDIT POLICY: A concern that purchases its requirements on credit and

    sales its product / services on cash requires lesser amt. of working capital and vice-

    versa.

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    19/58

    9. BUSINESS CYCLE: In period of boom, when the business is prosperous, there

    is need for larger amt. of working capital due to rise in sales, rise in prices, optimistic

    expansion of business, etc. On the contrary in time of depression, the business

    contracts, sales decline, difficulties are faced in collection from debtor and the firmmay have a large amt. of working capital.

    10. RATE OF GROWTH OF BUSINESS: In faster growing concern, we shall

    require large amt. of working capital.

    11. EARNING CAPACITY AND DIVIDEND POLICY: Some firms have more

    earning capacity than other due to quality of their products, monopoly conditions,

    etc. Such firms may generate cash profits from operations and contribute to their

    working capital. The dividend policy also affects the requirement of working capital.

    A firm maintaining a steady high rate of cash dividend irrespective of its profits

    needs working capital than the firm that retains larger part of its profits and does not

    pay so high rate of cash dividend.

    12. PRICE LEVEL CHANGES: Changes in the price level also affect the working

    capital requirements. Generally rise in prices leads to increase in working capital.

    Others FACTORS: These are:

    Operating efficiency. Management ability. Irregularities of supply. Import policy. Asset structure. Importance of labor.

    MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL

    Management of working capital is concerned with the problem that arises in

    attempting to manage the current assets, current liabilities. The basic goal of working

    capital management is to manage the current assets and current liabilities of a firm in

    such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained, i.e. it is neither

    adequate nor excessive as both the situations are bad for any firm. There should be

    no shortage of funds and also no working capital should be ideal. WORKING

    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICES of a firm has a great on its probability,

    liquidity and structural health of the organization. So working capital management is

    three dimensional in nature as1. It concerned with the formulation of policies with regard to profitability,

    liquidity and risk.

    2. It is concerned with the decision about the composition and level of current

    assets.

    3. It is concerned with the decision about the composition and level of current

    liabilities.

    WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS

    As we know working capital is the life blood and the centre of a business. Adequate

    amount of working capital is very much essential for the smooth running of the

    business. And the most important part is the efficient management of working capital

    in right time. The liquidity position of the firm is totally effected by the management

    of working capital. So, a study of changes in the uses and sources of working capital

    is necessary to evaluate the efficiency with which the working capital is employed in

    a business. This involves the need of working capital analysis.

    The analysis of working capital can be conducted through a number of devices, such

    as:

    1. Ratio analysis.

    2. Fund flow analysis.

    3. Budgeting.

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    21/58

    1. RATIO ANALYSIS

    A ratio is a simple arithmetical expression one number to another. The technique of

    ratio analysis can be employed for measuring short-term liquidity or working capital

    position of a firm. The following ratios can be calculated for these purposes:1. Current ratio.

    2. Quick ratio

    3. Absolute liquid ratio

    4. Inventory turnover.

    5. Receivables turnover.

    6. Payable turnover ratio.

    7. Working capital turnover ratio.

    8. Working capital leverage

    9. Ratio of current liabilities to tangible net worth.

    2. FUND FLOW ANALYSIS

    Fund flow analysis is a technical device designated to the study the source from

    which additional funds were derived and the use to which these sources were put.

    The fund flow analysis consists of:

    a. Preparing schedule of changes of working capital

    b. Statement of sources and application of funds.

    It is an effective management tool to study the changes in financial position (working

    capital) business enterprise between beginning and ending of the financial dates.

    3. WORKING CAPITAL BUDGET

    A budget is a financial and / or quantitative expression of business plans and polices

    to be pursued in the future period time. Working capital budget as a part of the total

    budge ting process of a business is prepared estimating future long term and short

    term working capital needs and sources to finance them, and then comparing the

    budgeted figures with actual performance for calculating the variances, if any, so that

    corrective actions may be taken in future. He objective working capital budget is to

    ensure availability of funds as and needed, and to ensure effective utilization of these

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    22/58

    resources. The successful implementation of working capital budget involves the

    preparing of separate budget for each element of working capital, such as, cash,

    inventories and receivables etc.

    ANALYSIS OF SHORT

    The short term creditors of a company such as suppliers of goods of credit and

    commercial banks short-term loans are primarily interested to know the ability of a

    firm to meet its obligations in time. The short term obligations of a firm can be met

    in time only when it is having sufficient liquid assets. So to with the confidence of

    investors, creditors, the smooth functioning of the firm and the efficient use of fixed

    assets the liquid position of the firm must be strong. But a very high degree of

    liquidity of the firm being tied up in current assets. Therefore, it is important

    proper balance in regard to the liquidity of the firm. Two types of ratios can be

    calculated for measuring short-term financial position or short-term solvencyposition of the firm.

    1. Liquidity ratios.

    2. Current assets movements ratios.

    A) LIQUIDITY RATIOS

    Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its current obligations as and when

    these become due. The short-term obligations are met by realizing amounts from

    current, floating or circulating assts. The current assets should either be liquid or near

    about liquidity. These should be convertible in cash for paying obligations of short-

    term nature. The sufficiency or insufficiency of current assets should be assessed by

    comparing them with short-term liabilities. If current assets can pay off the current

    liabilities then the liquidity position is satisfactory. On the other hand, if the current

    liabilities cannot be met out of the current assets then the liquidity position is bad. To

    measure the liquidity of a firm, the following ratios can be calculated:

    1. CURRENT RATIO

    2. QUICK RATIO

    3. ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    24/58

    1. CURRENT RATIO

    Current Ratio, also known as working capital ratio is a measure of general liquidity

    and its most widely used to make the analysis of short-term financial position or

    liquidity of a firm. It is defined as the relation between current assets and currentliabilities. Thus,

    CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS

    CURRENT LIABILITES

    The two components of this ratio are:

    1) CURRENT ASSETS

    2) CURRENT LIABILITES

    Current assets include cash, marketable securities, bill receivables, sundry debtors,

    inventories and work-in-progresses. Current liabilities include outstanding expenses,

    bill payable, dividend payable etc.

    A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the

    ability to pay its current obligations in time. On the hand a low current ratio

    represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not good and the firm shall not be

    able to pay its current liabilities in time. A ratio equal or near to the rule of thumb of

    2:1 i.e. current assets double the current liabilities is considered to be satisfactory.

    B) CURRENT ASSETS MOVEMENT RATIOS

    Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn profits. The

    efficiency with which assets are managed directly affects the volume of sales. The

    better the management of assets, large is the amount of sales and profits. Current

    assets movement ratios measure the efficiency with which a firm manages its

    resources. These ratios are called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with

    which assets are converted or turned over into sales. Depending upon the purpose, a

    number of turnover ratios can be calculated. These are :

    1. Inventory Turnover Ratio

    2. Debtors Turnover Ratio

    3. Creditors Turnover Ratio

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    25/58

    4. Working Capital Turnover Ratio

    The current ratio and quick ratio give misleading results if current assets include high

    amount of debtors due to slow credit collections and moreover if the assets include

    high amount of slow moving inventories. As both the ratios ignore the movement ofcurrent assets, it is important to calculate the turnover ratio.

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    26/58

    WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO

    Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of utilization of net working

    capital. This ratio indicates the number of times the working capital is turned over in

    the course of the year. This ratio measures the efficiency with which the working

    capital is used by the firm. A higher ratio indicates efficient utilization of working

    capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working capital turnover

    is not a good situation for any firm.

    Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales

    Net Working Capital

    Working Capital Turnover = Sales

    Networking Capital

    e.g.

    Year 2006 2007 2008

    Sales 166.0 151.5 169.5

    Networking Capital 53.87 62.52 103.09

    Working Capital Turnover 3.08 2.4 1.64

    Interpretation :

    This ratio indicates low much net working capital requires for sales. In 2008,

    the reciprocal of this ratio (1/1.64 = .609) shows that for sales of Rs. 1 the company

    requires 60 paisa as working capital. Thus this ratio is helpful to forecast the working

    capital requirement on the basis of sale.

    INVENTORIES

    (Rs. in Crores)

    Year 2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008

    Inventories 37.15 35.69 75.01

    Interpretation :

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    27/58

    Inventories is a major part of current assets. If any company wants to manage its

    working capital efficiency, it has to manage its inventories efficiently. The graph

    shows that inventory in 2005-2006 is 45%, in 2006-2007 is 43% and in 2007-2008 is

    54% of their current assets. The company should try to reduce the inventory upto10% or 20% of current assets.

    CASH BNAK BALANCE :

    (Rs. in Crores)

    Year 2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008

    Cash Bank Balance 4.69 1.79 5.05

    Interpretation :

    Cash is basic input or component of working capital. Cash is needed to keep the

    business running on a continuous basis. So the organization should have sufficient

    cash to meet various requirements. The above graph is indicate that in 2006 the cash

    is 4.69 crores but in 2007 it has decrease to 1.79. The result of that it disturb the

    firms manufacturing operations. In 2008, it is increased upto approx. 5.1% cash

    balance. So in 2008, the company has no problem for meeting its requirement as

    compare to 2007.

    After data have been collected, the researcher turns to the task of analyzing them. The analysis of

    data requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of categories, the

    application of these categories to raw data through tabulation and drawing statically inferences.

    Tabulation is the part of technical procedure where in the classified data are put in the form of

    tables.

    After analyzing the data, the researcher should have to explain the findings on the basis of some

    theory. It is known as interpretation

    The data has been collected from 100 employees of Alcon Wires & Cables Ltd. through

    questionnaire. The data thus collected was in the form of master table.

    That made possible counting of classified data easy. From the master table various summery

    tables were prepared. They have been presented along with their interpretation in this manner.

    CHAPTER 6

    FINDINGS

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    48/58

    FINDINGS

    All the findings are drawn based on the analysis and interpretation of the

    primary data regarding the Working Capital of the employees of Alcon Cables

    From the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that 80 % of the

    employees are satisfied with the workplace and only 20% employees are not

    satisfied with the workplace, which are negligible in number. And similarly in

    case of infrastructure 70% of the employees are satisfied and very small

    number of employees are not happy with the infrastructure of Alcon Cables

    and the canteen facilities. It means the workplace and infra- structure of

    Alcon Cables

    is good or satisfactory. It is notice that near about 84% the employees are satisfied with

    implementation of rules and responsibilities. And only some of them are

    not seems to be satisfied with the implementing rules and

    responsibilities. Therefore it shows that implementation of rule and

    responsibility is done fairly.

    From the study it is clear that the 70% percentage of employeesare happy with the freedom at work given by management but only

    some of them are not feeling satisfied with the freedom given at work

    place.

    According to analysis and interpretation, 60% of the employeesare satisfied with the team spirit built in organization and only few are

  • 7/29/2019 Alcon Working Capital

    49/58

    not happy with team spirit in the organization. From this it seems that

    the team spirit in the organization is strong.

    This study shows that only few employees strongly feel that theworking hours decided by organization are most convenient for them.

    Other is not in favor with these working hours. So it is clear that the

    management kept the main consideration about working conditions and

    the hours, which satisfies the employees.

    The study shows that very small numbers (32%) of employees are satisfiedwith the job security.

    And remaining most of the employees are not satisfiedwith the job

    Security provided by the organization. Hence from this analysis it is cleared that

    there is feeling of fear of job loss in the employees of Alcon Cables

    An analysis shows that about 75% of employees are strongly infavor that the targets given are achievable and only are not feels that

    the targets given are achievable. Hence the targets set by management

    are achievable.

    50/58

    SUGGESTIONS

    The suggestions are drawn from the analysis and observations. Few suggestions aregiven as under:

    In case of working hours decided by the organization are not convenient for the

    employees ofAlcon Cables

    The working hours are 6 hours per day that from 8.30AM to 5 PM. These hours shouldminimize up to 5 hours.

    The criteria for Job security is not much satisfactory so management need toconcentrate on job security of employees so that they can work without fear of

    job loss in the organization.

    Opportunities of growth of employees are very less so that there can beemployee turnover hence management has to give emphasis on increasing the

    promotion opportunities for according to the performance of employees.

    From analysis we concluded that the period of in house training is very short thatis of only 3 days, which is not sufficient to get complete knowledge about the work.

    Hence the training period should extend up to 5 days.

    As there is an active participation of employees in decision making but rarelythe suggestions given by them are drawn in action. Hence the confidence of

    employees gets demotivated.
