“A study of TESCO PLC of UK and it‟s comparison with Gujarat &
India”
The name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" was introduced in
1927 by the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act to reflect the granting of independence
to the Irish Free State in 1922, which left Northern Ireland as the only part of the island
of Ireland still within the UK Prior to this, the Acts of Union 1800, that led to the uniting
the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, had known the new state the name of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain before 1801 is
occasionally referred to as the "United Kingdom of Great Britain‖. However, Section 1 of
both of the 1707 Acts of Union declare that England and Scotland are "United into One
Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain".
Although the United Kingdom, as a sovereign state, is a country, England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland are also referred to as countries, whether or not they are
ruler states or have devolved or other self-government. The British Prime Minister's
website has used the phrase "countries within a country" to describe the United
Kingdom. With regard to Northern Ireland, the evocative name used "can be
contentious, with the choice often revealing one's political preferences." Other terms
used for Northern Ireland include "region" and "province".
The United Kingdom is often referred to as Britain. British government sources
frequently use the term as a short form for the United Kingdom, whilst media style guide
generally allow its use but point out that the longer term Great Britain refers only to
England, Scotland and Wales. However, some foreign usage, particularly in the United
States, uses Great Britain as a loose synonym for the United Kingdom.
Tesco plc is one of the largest retailers in the world, operating more than 2,300
supermarkets and convenience stores and employing 326,000 people. Tesco was
founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen. Tesco operates in the Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, the Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, and Turkey. In Asia, the company operates
in Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea. Tesco Mission is experience and commitment
ensures your success. & Vision is Excellence in Controls and Systems Integration,
because Tesco own it!
Tesco Controls' EMASS program offers an array of low cost, high value support and
professional services. EMASS services are SCADA PM services ,Controls and
Instrumentation PM services ,Electrical components / VFD PM services, Site specific
findings and recommendation, Checks and verifications of all transfer switches,
Verifications on analog and digital I/O (RTU's) ,Manual control sequence tests
,Automatic control sequence tests, Training. Tesco has developed a fresh, innovative
approach to extended service with our EMASS (Extended Maintenance and System
Services) program.
Home plus in South Korea is largest business outside the Brittan, with revenue of
£5 billion, making the business larger than many FTSE 100 companies. Tesco
entered South Korea through a partnership with Samsung and opened first two
hypermarkets in 1999.
Five Community Promises which Tesco have developed by listen closely to what
Tesco‘s customers and staff expect from us. They are:
Buying and selling the products correctly;
Helpful for the environment;
Providing customers with healthy choices;
Actively supporting local communities; and
Creating good jobs and careers.
Tesco plc is a UK multinational grocery and general produce retailer
headquartered in Cheshunt, United Kingdom. It is the third-largest retailer in the world
measured by revenues (after Wal-Mart and Carrefour) and the second-largest
measured by profits (after Wal-Mart). It has stores in 14 countries across Asia, Europe
and North America and is the grocery market leader in the UK (where it has a market
share of around 30%), Malaysia, the Republic of Ireland and Thailand.
As one of the world's largest retailers, Tesco have a clear responsibility and a
significant opportunity – to protect the environment. Tesco‘s aim is to create more
sustainable ways of doing business.
Several recent comparative studies have shown a labor productivity gap in respect of
UK retailing when compared with other countries, notably France and the US.UK
retailing is an important sector employing over 3 million people and contributing over
74 billion Euros in value added annually. But culture, history and perhaps sheer
accident mean that each country will exhibit a different set of retail propositions.
Retail employment in the UK is relatively high, particularly of part-timers, and the
number of shops relatively low compared with other EUcountries or the USA. The
largest UK companies are smaller than the largest global competitors.
The lack of a deep discounting sector in UK food retailing or similar discount or price
focused, large format, propositions in other sectors is especially noteworthy. The
existence of these differences does not necessarily mean that UK retailing is
structurally deficient, however. There may be no‘ right‘ structure towards which
retailing in every country inevitably converges.
RETAIL output includes a large service element, with considerable scope for trade-
offs between the different elements that comprise different retail formats, propositions
or brands. Many UK consumers have been seen to express preferences for higher
service formats, over those which emphasis price based on simple efficiencies.
Retailers anywhere must be effective in achieving their chosen consumer satisfaction
goals whilst seeking to be as efficient as the achievement of such goals will allow.
Industry participants and commentators therefore see retail productivity as essentially
a consumer-mediated phenomenon.
Gujarat retail sector covers of organized retail and unorganized retail sector.
Traditionally the retail market in Gujarat was largely unorganized; however with
changing consumer preferences, organized retail is gradually becoming popular.
General comparison between Gujarat & Tesco on the base of Awareness about
online trading, Consumer Perception, Time, Online payment system, Goods &
services, Training.
Internet retailers managed best, with 10.7% of all sales now made online. Sales
volumes figures bit out the effect of inflation. I suggested that February's figures were
further signal of the continued squeeze on consumers. It‘s not just that the February
numbers are weaker than predicted, but January is also heavily studied down."The
hoped-for recovery in consumer spending certainly doesn't look to be there. An Ernst
and Young economist designated the overall picture as "healthy" and suggested that
the poor showing in February was not surprising. This increase over the year was
described as "very good", with one analyst forecasting that consumer confidence
would recover in 2012.
Although this year's going to be quite tough, the next stage is going to be a modest
improvement. And of course also this year we've got the Anniversary and the
Olympics, which are going to be great for consumer confidence."
UK retail sales volumes fell by 0.8% in February related with the previous month,
figures from the Office for National Figures have shown in 2012. Sales in food stores
were 0.1% lower than January, the ONS said, but 1% higher in February than a year
earlier. In 2008 education had a gross value added of around £76.4 billion. In 2007/08
higher education institutions in the UK had a total income of £23.4 billion and
employed a total of 169,995 staff which is very good. Tesco have over 290,000
employees across the UK, making us the biggest private-sector employer in this
market, and over 492,000 worldwide.
In 2011 the market share of Tesco is 30.5% all over the world. U.K‘sliteracy rate is
100% which is very good for country as well as economic position of the country. The
decline was bigger than expected, but sales volumes over the past three months were
still 1.7% higher than the same period a year earlier.
The Britain retail sector is providing the best services as compared to other countries
overall world. In the Britain more people prefer to buy online in retail outlets. Britain is
having great no. of retail outlet. Indian people do not prefer to buy from the retail
outlet. The Indian people does not having the awareness about online shopping.
In the United Kingdom, the retail sector companies provide good & fastest delivery
and daily. We found that Indian people does not have trust on online payment. We
found that the Britain people have the trust on online payment system. The population
in UK is not that much but there are so many retail outlets. In the Britain, the labor
productivity is relatively low. It is affect the super market.
The word "contribution" might be correct. However, there is nothing necessarily
fundamental implied. That is, there is no reason to believe that the policy implication (if
it exists) lies in the retail sector. The policy suggestion might lie in the wider labor
market. Simply because retailing uses a lot of labor so that it looks less productive
than other sectors, it by no means follows that retail is making less valuable use of
each element of labor than any other business. In addition, problems with retail
statistics in particular make it unwise to attraction very firm conclusions about
differences between labor productivity in UK retailing and retailing in comparator
countries.
The Indian retail outlet is not providing the sufficient services so that they have to
provide the best services to the customers. The Indian governments have to make the
security on the online payment. The Indian people have not to believe on online
payment so government are take action for customer satisfaction on online payment
and reduce fraud on online payment.
UK retailers perform particularly well with regard to sales density, profit density and
cash flow density, which points to a very efficient control of space, regarded as world
class by their peers. Some evidence shows that there is less ability to generally exploit
technological innovation in the UK, as well as to evaluate and implement IT projects.
In part, this is due to a legacy of preoccupation with in-house, home-grown systems.
Although UK supply chains are perceived as very efficient, there are new opportunities
in RFID technology to make gains.
The common perception is that there are significant differences in the efficiency and
performance of UK retailing, compared to that in other countries, which may be
attributed to differences in the regulatory environment, and that deregulation or
change in regulation of some nature will produce gains in efficiency.
The most profound difference between US and UK retailing, however, is in the
property environment, however, and the efficient servicing of that environment. The
UK is of course physically smaller than the US. The retail property environment, with a
more limited supply of land and floor space and congested and high cost transport, is
different in the UK from other countries and results in higher costs and perhaps less
flexibility.
Retailing is undoubtedly a major sector of the UK economy; yet there is considerable
uncertainty about, for example, the significance of the nonlabour factors'
contributions to the generation of retail output. In particular, more attention might be
given to, for example, the relevance of differences in supply of land and associated
marked variations in retail occupancy costs between countries, and to the nature and
importance of capital investment in the sector.
The retail stores owner should create awareness about the retail buying in the
customers. Indian people have to pay the tax on time. The Indian retail outlets are give
advertisement of supermarket so people are aware about it.
All super markets are Maintain customer services and give them feedback. The retail
outlet should be opened more in India. We suggest that in Indian retail sector the
procedure should be done easily in Indian retail outlet to enter. The population in India
is too much but the retail outlet is not that much so that the retail outlets have to
provide good services to customer for the grow business.
In the United Kingdom retail sector, many policies are affecting the retail business like
environmental policy, risk and safety, responsible retailing. Environmental policies are
currently working on the following policy issues through the Environment Policy Action
Group that is effective in this polices:
In the united kingdom, government are framework licensing system for the business,
this system are also useful for the retail sector businesses like The launch of a new
machine readable license for re-using information free of charge for non-commercial
purposes. Establishes the UK Government Licensing Frameworks the licensing
framework for UK compliance with the motivate and is endorsed by the UK Location
Council, which oversees the delivery of the UK strategy on motivate.
The Tax Policy Action Group of the UK is made up of tax professionals representing
a wide range of retailers, from the large multiples and department stores through to
independents, accounting for the vast majority of retail turnover in the UK. Under
include tax policies action group in the UK that is as follow: -
In the India scenario is change and make the business in global market. the main
reasons and trends for growth of Indian retail industry:
India's economy is booming
Increase in disposable income and purchasing power of consumers
Increase in consuming desire
Low share of organized retailing
The UK reacts to globalization is one of the most important issues facing the UK
Government. UK is not as engaged with India‘s markets as it should be. UK
companies are falling behind their major competitors, perhaps because UK companies
tend to see India as a source of low-cost labor rather than an emerging market in its
own right. The UK‘s institutional arrangements to support trade with and investment
both in and from India are characterized by enthusiasm but also by confusion. A great
deal of good work is being done, but by too many overlapping bodies with ill-defined
responsibilities, and often inadequate resources.
The United Kingdom government facing many issued in globalizing business like
Currency Barriers, Contracting Costs and Insecurity, Excessive red tape and
bureaucracy, Wholesale and Retail Margins, Transport Costs, Trade Costs Matter.
UK's first links with India came about through trading cotton and other goods. In the
seventeenth century, the East India Company began bringing cloth from west India,
shawls and silks from Kashmir, spices from the East Indies, and sugar from Bengal. In
return India bought metals, novelties, and ivory. A visitor to India was impressed by
the sophistication and skill of its craftspeople, by the range of products, and by the
way in which manufacturing was organized and controlled by the State. Indian cloths
were so popular that they transformed European fashion.
There is a large number of UK bodies seeking a role in trade and investment with
India. Too often the result has been duplication and competition. The UK Government
has to take a grip on this situation. Organizations should realize that it is not necessary
for them to be directly represented in India in order to promote trade, or increase
Indian awareness of their regions or sectors.
UK is falling behind its main competitors when it comes to investing in India. There is
evidence to suggest that UK companies‘ investments in India may have been
underestimated due to reporting technicalities. Profits of UK companies which have
invested in India in the past do not appear in the official statistics. There is also
evidence to suggest that UK companies are investing in India through third
countries—mainly Mauritius—because of the tax advantages.
Indian Government is gradually reducing these barriers through legislation (for
example, the recent relaxation in relation to retail and mining) some sectors still
remain completely closed to FDI, such as legal services and the defense sector Many
of our witnesses identified the sectors which were currently being opened up as those
within which the main opportunities for UK companies lay in India, for example
telecommunications and financial services.
General Comparison of Consumer Behavior towards Retail Sector in Indian and
United Kingdom
Awareness about online trading:
In the U.K. the people are good awareness about online shopping because there people
are educated and knowledge about internet.
In Gujarat people are not aware about online shopping due to the uneducated and not
knowledge about internet so they cannot use online purchase.
Consumer Perception:
In the U.K. consumer perception about Tesco plc are good because that people are
know that the Tesco plc are provide good facilities to customer like daily delivery ,
online payment , delivery good qualitative goods & services at cheapest price and give
fastest home delivery.
In the Gujarat consumer perception about super market are not good the people
are not satisfy the facilities which provide by super market. Most of people in Gujarat
are not believe in online trading because they think that company are saw good
qualitative good s & services in advertisement on internet, that is different of deliver the
goods & services.
In Gujarat & India online purchase most of problem are there like deliver the not
good quality product, not maintain time, default product, online bill payment, not getting
proper information about the product etc. so most of people are not using online
purchase.
In U.K. not any kind of problem are there like deliver the not good quality product,
not maintain time, default product, online bill payment so they can use online purchase.
Time:
In the U.K. most of people are working on job. They have no time for shopping in the
market. So online shopping option are good for them which is providing by Tesco plc.
In Gujarat most of women are housewife so they have time for purchase things in
market so nobody can use the online purchase any things. Most of people are
uneducated as compare the uk so that most of people cannot use the internet in
Gujarat.
Online payment system:
In the U.K. Tesco provide online payment system to the customer which is secure and
time consuming.
In Gujarat super market people or customer are not trust in online payment because
they think that it is not secure.
Goods & services:
In the UK the company Tesco PLC are provide good branded products and services.
Those prices are very less compare to Indian or Gujarat super market. Where as in the
Gujarat the retail companies are provide not good branded products and services. And
those price are high compare to Tesco PLC.
In Gujarat population are high as compare UK so home delivery are more
challenging in Gujarat because of traffic problem.In U.K. population are low as compare
Gujarat so delivery is very fast as compare Gujarat. And most of people are busy so
they are use online purchase.
Training:
In the UK, Tesco PLC provide good training to its labor or worker in the mall. So labor
productivity is increase which is help to grow the business. In the Gujarat, super market
companies are not provided good training to its labor. Productivity of labor is very low
compare to Tesco PLC.
Findings:
The Britain retail sector is providing the best services as compared to other
countries overall world.
The people prefer to buy online in Britain.
Britain is having great no of retail outlet.
An Indian person does not prefer to buy from the retail outlet.
The Indian people does not having the awareness about online shopping.
We found that Indian people does not have trust on online payment.
We found that the British people have the trust on online payment system.
The population in UK is not that much but there is so many retail outlets.
Suggestions:
The Indian retail outlet is not providing the sufficient services so that they have to
provide the best services to the customers.
The Indian government has to make the security on the online payment.
The Indian people have to believe on online payment.
The retail stores owner should create awareness about the retail buying in the
customers.

Transportation role in the Economy of U.K.
●Railway is a key part of the UK supply chain, helping improve UK economic
efficiency for manufacturers, retailers and traditional bulk trades.
●Use of trains reduces the environmental impact of the supply chain in the UK each
extra container train can remove 50 Lorries from Britain‘s congested roads.
●Rail can help enable Britain‘s increasing demand for imported containerized
goods to be met efficiently
●Railway use is growing in sectors such as retail and consumer goods
●Rail allows British industry to participate in global supply chains.
Change the structure after privatization
Infrastructure owner
Rail track was located into management on 7 October 2001 and, the subsequent
year, its functions as the track owner were taken over by Network Rail, which is a
company limited by guarantee, nominally in the private sector but with members instead
of shareholders and its borrowing guaranteed by the government.
Effect of Privatization
●Customer service Improvement customer services.
●Fares and timetable Provide to all passengers time table and true information
●New trains Start new train and given extra facility
●Rolling stock manufacture The rolling stock manufacturers themselves suffered
under privatisation; with the space in new orders for new trains caused by the
reorganisation and reform process, the former BREL mechanism at York had been
severely downsized and finally closed.
● Regularity and Reliability The contracts in place among companies were intended
to incentivise improvements in these areas, but with the big increase in the number of
trains run while using extra or fewer the same amount of rolling stock and track, there
has been less area for exercise when problems occur, with consequent impacts on
punctuality.
●Level of traffic decrease road traffic and that types unfavorable facility and get other
benefit.
●Effectiveness and Efficiency Increasing effectiveness and customer satisfaction to
give up extra facility and other extra advantage.
●Political power decreases of political control for the reason that railway all control
given to private companies and all right and rules.
Reminder of the structure
• Privatised infrastructure manager (Rail track; Network Rail)
• Independent economic regulator
• Outright sale of rail freight operators
• Franchising of passenger services
• Sale of rolling stock leasing companies (Investigation)
About the Indian Railway
Indian Railway was 1st introduced to India in 1853, by 1947, the year of India's
independence; there were 42 rail systems. In 1951 the systems were nationalized as

A Study of Ahmedabad and London Railway System
Objectives of the Study
1. Appropriate technical solution to carry the projected volume of traffic.
2. We came to know how much traffic demanded in Ahmedabad.
3. It considers latest technology in railway and high technology can make transport
faster and easiest.
4. Vast different between London & Ahmedabad transportation
5. People spend time on transport of both cities.
6. To judge volume of pollution due transport elements.
7. To know system of ticketing.
8. Territory zone wise divided in transport.
Research Design
The research conducted by we are a explanatory research. This is explanatory in
nature because study is focused on fact finding investigation in a well structured form
and is based secondary data.
Collection of Data: Secondary Data is used for the Study. We have collected the data
through internet, magazine and news paper use and done our work.
Sampling Method: Random Sampling
Analysis to Both the City
1. Transportation
Ahmedabad
In Ahmedabad only some Railway station and no one over bridge or underground rail
road and other transportation system work in Ahmedabad system for example B.R.T.S
and A.M.T.S etc.
London
In London Buses and Trams system for their passenger other than Railway system
underground and over ground train working so in London decreases traffic.
2. Traffic
Ahmedabad
More than one-lakh vehicles are recorded on Sardar Bridge, Nehru Bridge and
Gandhi Bridge on Sabarmati River. More than one million persons cross the Sabarmati
River every day. About 71,000 persons board and alight daily at Ahmedabad (Kalupur)
station. Out of 6.65 million passengers trips made per day in AUDA and Gandhinagar
Area, 28% trips are made by public transport.
London
London is a major international air transport hub with the largest city airspace in the
world. Eight airports use the word London in their name, but most traffic passes through
six of these. London Heathrow Airport, in Hillingdon, West London, is the busiest airport
in the world for international traffic, and is the major hub of the nation's flag
carrier, British Airways In March 2008 its fifth terminal was opened.
3. Technology
Ahmedabad
Improve maintenance of Signaling and telecommunication equipments by monitoring
system status of trackside and train borne equipment and enabling preventive
maintenance. Signaling & Train Control system on the line is planned for design
headway of 2 minutes so as to meet sustained train operation at up to 2.5 minutes
interval during peak hours.
London
In London and Ahmedabad Signaling and Tele communication systems most of
same but there train and system that speed fast with compare Indian train.
4. Time Management and spending time of Passengers
Ahmedabad
In Ahmedabad most of trains are not coming in perfect time schedule. There is
always time difference between two or three train approximately five to ten minutes. So
the authority of railway should to consider perfect time management.
London
In London, passenger is doing time management by using oyster card and
season pass especially for senior citizen and for students. So by this passengers should
not to stand in a line or queue. So by this passenger can save their time.
5. Ticketing system
Ahmedabad
In Ahmedabad 60% people are using ticket with (OTC- on the counter) approach.
They are buying ticket manually. 20% people are using reservation system, and 10%
people are using e ticket which is done through agency and individually with the help of
internet & rest of 10% people are using M-ticket. Which is very faster and most popular
in now a days, people do not have to carry paper ticket with them they will only have to
show message with ticket number and their respective train name and number so it is
eco friendly & time saver.
London
London is one of the very fast and sophisticated city in United Kingdom, so
transportation of London is very fast and accurate, people are very reliable on the
transportation of the London, because most of people are using transportation which is
running by the 24 private transportation company. Here in fright, rent & ticketing system
are very fast.
6. Zone wise
Ahmedabad:
In Ahmedabad railway system there are mainly three zones are considered. Mainly
that is called phase I, phase II, and phase III. That are describes as follows.
Phase I (0 – 30 km)
Paldi to Akshardham
Phase II (30 - 40 km)
Chandgodar to Indroda Circle
Phase iii (40 – 55 km)
Sanand city to Limbadiya, Koba
London
In London there are mainly three zones. These are describes as follows
Zone 1
Notting hill gate – Earl‘s court – Vauxhall – Elephant and Castel – Aldgate East –
Kingcross.
Zone 2
North Acton- Turnham green – Herene Hill – Lewisham – East india – Clapton –
Archway – Willesden Junction.
Zone 3
Heathrow Airport – Kew Gardens – Wimblendon – Beckton – Leytonstone – Mill hill east
- Wembley
Findings
1. There are more traffic problem incurs at traffic signals, four paths, and main bus
stations. In London because of underground, over ground, tram and rail there is less
traffic incurs.
2. More than one-lakh vehicles are recorded on Sardar Bridge, Nehru Bridge and
Gandhi Bridge on Sabarmati River. More than one million persons cross the Sabarmati
River every day.
3. London‘s technology of train system like Tele communication, signaling and speed
are higher than ahmedabad or India.
3. In Ahmedabad most of trains are not coming in perfect time schedule. And in London
because of the train‘s perfect time scheduling and high speed passengers can reach to
their destination in perfect time. And because of more trains in London people should
not to wait for the train.
4. In Ahmedabad 60% people are using ticket with (OTC- on the counter) approach.
They are buying ticket manually. 20% people are using reservation system, and 10%
people are using e ticket which is done through agency and individually with the help of
internet & rest of 10% people are using M-ticket.
5. London is a very eco friendly city which has good air atmosphere and fresh air but in
Ahmedabad seasonal weather atmosphere can‘t be stable.
6. In London there are three zones. And the rent of London‘s train is easier to divide as
per the zone wise system. And In Ahmedabad there is no zone is divided for the metro
train.
Suggestions
1. By the use of metro train service we can reduces the traffic problem in Ahmedabad
and in India.
2. By the build the over bridge and under bridge for metro train and for ordinary train we
can reduces the traffic problem.
3. Time scheduling should to improve to rail authority of ahmedabad. And reservation
system make more secure and safe.
4. Implementing the new technology in distributing ticketing, so new sources can make
easy travelling.
5. Minimum uses of liquid fuel engines so air pollution can be reduce. Make more lines
for electronic engines. Maintain and keep tracks clean.
6.In ahmedabad we should to make partition of phases.

“A STUDY OF TELECOM SECTOR WITH REFERENCE TO VODAFONE
COMPANY IN UK”
Demographic profile of UK
The United Kingdom, consisting of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland) and
Northern Ireland. According to the 2001 census, the total population of the United
Kingdom was 58,789,194—the third-largest in the European Union (behind Germany
and metropolitan France) and the 21st-largest in the world. The United Kingdom's
extremely high literacy rate (99%) is attributable to universal introduced for the primary
level in 1870 (Scotland 1872, free 1890) and secondary level in 1900. Parents are
obliged to have their children educated from the ages of 5 to 16 (with legislation passed
to raise this to 18), and can continue education free of charge in the form of A-Levels,
vocational training or apprenticeship to age 18. About 40% of British students go on to
post-secondary education (18+).
The UK's population is predominantly White British. Being located close to continental
Europe, the countries that formed the United Kingdom were subject to many invasions
and migrations, especially from Scandinavia and the continent,
including Roman occupation for several centuries. Historically, British people were
thought to be descended mainly from the different ethnic stocks that settled there before
the 11th century; pre-Celtic, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman.
England's population in mid-2008 was estimated to be 51.44 million. It is one of the
most densely populated countries in the world, with 383 people resident per square
kilometer in mid-2003, with a particular concentration in London and the south east. The
mid-2008 estimates put Scotland's population at 5.17 million, Wales at 2.99 million and
Northern Ireland at 1.78 million, with much lower population densities than England.
Government
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, with a
queen and a parliament that has two houses. The House of Lords was stripped of most
of its power in 1911, and now its main function is to revise legislation. In Nov. 1999,
hundreds of hereditary peers were expelled in an effort to make the body more
democratic. The executive power of the Crown is exercised by the cabinet, headed by
the prime minister.
Economic overview
The economy of the United Kingdom is the sixth-largest national economy in the world
measured by nominal GDP and seventh-largest measured by purchasing power parity,
and the third-largest in Europe measured by nominal GDP and second-largest
measured by PPP. The UK's GDP per capita is the 20th highest in the world in nominal
terms and the 17th highest measured by PPP. In the 18th century the UK was the first
country in the world to industrialize, and during the 19th century possessed a dominant
role in the global economy. From the late 19th century the Second Industrial
Revolution in the United States and the German Empire presented an increasing
challenge to Britain's role as leader of the global economy. Despite victory, the costs of
fighting both the First World War and Second World War further weakened the relative
economic position of the UK, and by 1945 Britain had been superseded by the United
States as the world's dominant economic power.
The UK is one of the world's most globalised countries. London is the world's largest
financial centre alongside New York and has the largest city GDP in Europe. As of
December 2010 the UK had the third-largest stock of both inward and outward
foreign . The aerospace industry of the UK is the second- or third-largest national
aerospace industry, depending upon the method of measurement. The pharmaceutical
industry plays an important role in the UK economy and the country has the third-
highest share of global pharmaceutical R&D expenditures. The British economy is
boosted by North Sea oil and gas reserves, valued at an estimated £250 billion in 2007.
Trade and commerce of UK
The Department of Trade and Industry was a United Kingdom government department
which was replaced with the announcement of the creation of the Department for
Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and the Department for Innovation,
Universities and Skills on 28 June 2007. In 1983 the departments of Trade and Industry
were reunited. The Department of Energy was re-merged back into the DTI in 1992, but
various media-related functions transferred to the Department for National Heritage.
Until it was succeeded in June 2007 the DTI continued to set the energy policy of the
United Kingdom.
After the 2005 general election the DTI was renamed to the Department for Productivity,
Energy and Industry, but the name reverted to Department of Trade and Industry less
than a week later, after widespread derision, including some from the Confederation of
British Industry.

Overview of business and Trade at International level.
International business is a term used to collectively describe all commercial
transactions. Private and governmental, sales, investment, logistics, and transportation)
that take place between two or more regions, countries and nations beyond their
political boundary. Usually, private companies undertake
such transactions for profit; governments undertake them for profit and
for political reasons. It refers to all those business activities which involves cross border
transactions of goods, services, resources between two or more nations. Transaction of
economic resources include capital, skills, people etc. for international production of
physical goods and services such as finance, banking, insurance, construction etc.
A multinational enterprise (MNE) is a company that has a worldwide approach to
markets and production or one with operations in more than a country. An MNE is often
called multinational corporation (MNC) or transnational company (TNC).
INDIA-UK relations
The United Kingdom is committed to developing an enhanced partnership with India.
The UK/India relationship is mutually beneficial and wide ranging; covering-
development, regional stability, trade and investment, climate change, counter terrorism
and reform of the global international systems. UK share the core values of democracy,
pluralism and tolerance. British society is enriched by its strong, dynamic human ties to
India. Over 1 million people travel between the UK and India every year. Between 1.5m
and 2m people of Indian origin live in the UK, the largest ethnic group.
Partners in business
The UK and India are among the top investors in each other‘s economies bringing
significant long term benefits to both.
The UK is the largest European investor in India and the fourth largest internationally.
Likewise, India is the third largest investor in the UK.
The UK is by far the most popular business destination in Europe for Indian companies.
700 out of the 1200 Indian firms in the EU operate from the UK. Tata is the largest
single manufacturing company in the UK.
Prosperity Fund:
The Prosperity Fund with a corpus of £2.5 million for 2011-2012 builds on the
achievements of the previous Low Carbon High Growth Strategic Programme Fund and
directly supports our implementation of Foreign Policy Priority 2: ―Build Britain‘s
prosperity by increasing exports and investment, opening markets, ensuring access to
resources, and promoting sustainable global growth‖.
Introduction of Telecom sector in UK
The telecommunications industry contributes around 45% of the country‘s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and might therefore be considered of relatively minor
importance to the country. The social life of the country is highly dependent on
telecommunications too. Telecommunications has a ‗multiplier‘ effect and its importance
to the overall continuity of life and the democratic tradition of this country is immense.
Historically, telecom players in the UK have been very risk but as the market changes,
so does their attitude to IT. Increasingly, IT is being seen as the enabler of business
development, and a key tool for achieving some ambitious cost-cutting plans.
Meanwhile, heightened consolidation activity is further pushing up the need for IT
services with a greater need for integration and systemization of existing disparate
legacy systems.
Telecoms are certainly an exciting market in the UK and one that is set to continue its
current dynamic growth curve. Since opening up the telecommunications markets to
competition in the 1980s, a wide range of companies have entered the market and
many have chosen to specialise in the kinds of network they have built and services
they offer.
Introduction of Vodafone
The history of Vodafone company is an interesting one. This wireless giant was created
in 1984 as a subsidiary of Racal Electronics Plc In September of 1991 Vodafone Group
Plc. emerged and became and independent company from Racal Electronics Plc.
Vodafone made the UK's first mobile call at a few minutes past midnight on 1 January
1985. Within fifteen years, the network was the largest company in Europe and the
largest of its kind anywhere in the world. A review of the structure of its marketing team
earlier this year led to Vodafone axing about 10% of marketing staff.
By the turn of the century, almost every second UK citizen had a mobile – and a third of
them were connected to Vodafone.
The Vodafone story is one of investment, innovation and award-winning customer
service.
Above all, it‘s one of growth and the ability to deliver the tremendous benefits of mobile
communications, not just in the UK but worldwide.
We‘ve come a long way since the early 80s.
Vodafone Role In Economy Of United Kingdom
Vodafone has scrapped the role of chief marketing officer and setup a new commercial
business unit to lead on marketing as part of a wider overhaul of its organizational
structure.
The ―group commercial‖ unit will include group marketing, business services, and global
enterprise and partner markets.
It will be led by the telecommunications company‘s head of Africa and Central Europe
Morten Lundal, who will take the title of group chief commercial officer.
A spokeswoman for Vodafone says that the role of chief marketing officer will cease to
exist from 1 October.
She adds that an ―alternative‖ role is currently being sought for current CMO, Wendy
Becker who will stay in the meantime to support the company‘s work on customer
experience and engagement.
The group has also created two new ―operating regions‖ - one for Europe and another
for Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
Michel Combes and Nick Read will head the respective divisions.
The group says the changes will help it focus on its ―customer and commercial strength,
leadership in data, brand advocacy, cost efficiency and shareholder returns‖ & ―by
reducing layers and simplifying managerial governance‖.
Comparative position of Vodafone in India
On 28 October 2005, the Company announced the acquisition of a 10 per cent stake in
India's Bharti Televentures, which operates the largest mobile phone network in India
under the brand name AirTel.
On 22 December 2005, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of
the 10% stake in Bharti Televentures of India.
On 6 February 2007, along with the partnership with Digicel Caribbean. Samoa was
added as a Partner Market. Then on 11 February 2007, the Company agreed to acquire
a controlling interest of 67% in Hutchison Essar Limited for US$11.1 billion.
At the same time, it agreed to sell back 5.6% of its AirTel stake back to the Mittals.
Vodafone would retain a 4.4% stake in AirTel. On 21 September 2007, Hutch was
rebranded to Vodafone in India.
Present position of Vodafone
The importance of India to Vodafone can be judged by the number of references to this
key market in Market Mettle's Vodafone Watch dated January 2011 in India.

Trade policy
It has been one year since the Government launched the Trade and Investment White
Paper. Led by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and working closely
with UK Trade and Investment and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the White
Paper advocated a whole of government approach to trade and UK growth.
The aim of the UK Trade Policy Unit (TPU)
The TPU brings together trade and development policy experts from BIS and the
Department for International Development (DFID), its aim is to help bring about global
prosperity and security through open and fair markets.
Simply preserving current levels of openness is a significant challenge, given increased
pressure to resort to protectionism. Their priorities in the economic crisis, therefore, are
to help keep markets open, to help UK business overcome barriers to trade and prepare
for the upturn, and to ensure trade continues to contribute to sustainable development
and poverty-reduction, consistent with our longer-term trade strategy.
UK business does not operate in a vacuum. In the longer term, the greatest benefits
from trade result from the openness of all which is best achieved if all share in the
benefits.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN FUTURE
A business opportunity is any opportunity that arises for you to make money with. This
can include everything from a franchise to a mail order scheme.
Here are eight different categories of business ideas that can safely bet on for the
future.
1. Environmental. Any business with a positive effect on the Environment, i.e.
solar energy, recycle, alternate power etc.
2. Debt Advice. With the ever growing awareness of people in debt, any sort of
financial counseling, education or debt regulation will do very well over the next
5 years. Just make sure it can still get paid for this, as most of your clients will
be broke.
3. Convenience. Any product or service that adds a form of convenience to the
lives of the hard working and lazy has a huge developing market. Services such
as readymade home cooked suppers, laundry services, garden services, walk
the dog, pay your bills, wash your car. You get the drift.
4. Services for the Aged. There is a huge sector of the population that is getting
older and not dieing. Any services that are focused at looking after these people
will blossom. Again look at costs and service ability. These could be a simple
bus service to the shops. Outings to places of interest. Entertainment activities.
Sporting packages. Skydiving – only kidding.
5. Cellular Communication. Any add-on product or service that moves with the
times of the huge cellular market will do well. We have seen many new
products come out recently that adds convenience and ease of use. Moneyless
transaction, online chat, booking services, status enquiries etc.
6. Home Entertainment. We are spending more time at home in the evening,
give us things to do. Wii, movies, Pizza, dress up, dress down…
7. Beauty and Body Care. Lipstick, gym, personal training, loose fat, look good,
feel sexy. Any product that does that for me, I‘m buying.
8. Low Life Expectancy. The flip side to #4. We are also seeing a huge death
rate due to HIV, TB and maybe next year N1H4. Any services linked to death
will be booming. Undertakes, coffin makers, funeral policies and related
services.

“A STUDY OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN UK”
The UK is located north-west of the European island among Atlantic Ocean and North
Sea. This one takes a total land area of 244,100 sq. kilometers, of which closely 99% is
land and the rest inside water. Starting northerly to south it is nearby 1,000 kilometers
long.
History of textile and clothing industry consumes remained full by the use of several
bilateral quotas, protective policies, biased prices, etc. via industrialized world beside
the developing countries.
Britain is largest Island in UK. Great Britain is one of the greatest solidly populated
countries of Europe, through the southern parts of the country accomplishment the
highest concentration figures of Europe as a complete.
The Indian textile industry is one of the largest and oldest sectors in the country and
among the most important in the economy in terms of output and investment. Its
importance is underlined by the fact that it accounts for around 4% of Gross Domestic
Product, 14% of industrial production, 9% of excise collections, and 18% of employment
in the industrial sector, and 16% of the country‘s total exports earnings.
President cuts income tax amount for 300,000 richest families, while 4.4 million seniors

Fabrics sector is an important component of the United Kingdom‘s intercontinental
trading. But a growing ratio of finished clothing goods are imported from foreign, the
United Kingdom‘s export assets untrained areas such as textiles and clothing policy,
and in the expansion and production of new fabrics including field and technical
weaves.
The expansion of the European Union delivers marketing and sales prospects too good
to miss – counting unlimited admission to additional than 450 million customers – and
quickly rising then developing marketplaces such as India and China, Brazil and the
Central East characterize amazing global forecasts.
Working together with the Chamber of Commerce, the BCC strives to highlight export
opportunities for the manufacturing and service industries through its Trade and
Enterprise Campaign.
The international trade for textile marketing targeting supermarket industry and new
technology for advertising the clothes and textile products
Continued rise of developing economies on the world stage will provide substantial
potential opportunities for already developed economies – with, amongst other things,
new markets for their exporters and investors. But the continued rise of these
developing economies will also increase the pressure on energy resources, with
developing economies expected to account for half of world energy demand by 2012.
New inventions in fashion manufacture, industrial and design originated in the
Manufacturing uprising – these new wheels, looms, and spinning procedures
transformed fashion builder continually.
India‘s fabric business subsequently its opening continues to be mostly yarn built with
around 65 percentage of textile ingesting in the county existence accounted aimed at

International trade, whether in the form of exporting, importing or strategic global
alliances, is only one part of the much bigger picture of international business, which is
more concerned with global trade issues than with the mechanics of selling goods
overseas or purchasing from foreign suppliers.
Export revenues for developing countries are limited by demanding hygiene and
sanitary regulations and high import tariff rates for processed products imposed by
developed countries. Subsidies to developed countries‘ fishing fleets and processing
sectors similarly variety it challenging for emerging countries to play.
The UK India Business Council (UKIBC), formerly Indo-British Partnership Network
(IBPN) is the leading business organization supporting the promotion of bilateral trade,
trade and venture opportunities between the two countries.
There are many factors in macro – environment that will affect choices for the
supervisors of any business. Tax fluctuations, new regulations, profession obstructions,
demographic modification and management policy changes are totally samples of
macro changes. In the direction of support investigate these issues administrators can
categories them consuming the PESTEL model.
A political feature refers to government procedure such as the point of involvement in
the budget.
Economic features contain interest charges, taxation fluctuations, and monetary growth,
increase and exchange charges.
A social factor consumes improved the costs for organizations who remain loyal to
allowance expenditures for their employees because their staff is living longer.
The technology of present creates new products and new processes. Online works,
tablet coding and computer supported design are all progresses to the method we do
professional as a result of better equipment.
Legal factors exist interrelated to the legal atmosphere in which businesses operate.
Particular fluctuations in the macro environment will make opportunities for a industry.
The development of the European Union has completed it easier to export to
marketplaces such as Bulgarian and Romania. The boom in China has created a most
important new advertise.
New modifications might create threats. The growing of the internet has defenseless
traditional platform holiday companies as consumer‘s book indirectly for themselves;
this is why this manufacturing considerable associated as firm justifies becoming more
efficient.
The textile sector is unique of the major industries in the world. Individual factories
within the sector can album from large modern and highly automated plants to small
traditional units focusing on hand-made products. The industry also uses a wide range
of process dyes and chemicals some of which may be poisonous and hazardous.
Fabric manufacturing plays a significant role in the budget. The Indian fabric business is
one of the major and most significant sectors in the economy in terms of output, foreign
exchange pays and engagement in India. The sector employments approximately 35
million people and are the 2nd highest company in the country.
A number of features must cause a quick weakening in the market request for finished
textiles in the United Kingdom
Crash of the tough exchange rate - that consumes made imports of textile produces
much cheaper when valued in genuine. As an outcome, the measure of import
perception in United Kingdom international marketplaces takes increased.
Introduction of the Nationwide Minimum Wage - must consumed some negative
penalties for international effectiveness of the sector. The difficulties fashioned by the
extraordinary conversation amount and the recession popular Asian and US markets
must be situated more powerful than the national minimum wage.
Fresh inventions in fashion production, manufacture and design came during the
Industrial Uprising - these new wheels, looms, and rotating processes transformed
clothing production forever.
The textile industry specially the British textile industry played a very significant position
in the appearance and the succeeding development of the trade uprising. The fabric
business above all constructed everywhere the English counties of Lancashire and
Yorkshire consumed be located an important part of the British budget for 2 or 3 periods
before the commencement of the industrial uprising.
Labor abundant countries have a comparative advantage in garment assembly as they
can compete on lower wages. There are several wrong or incomplete inferences with
that argument.
Key labor standards relate to the terms of employment, remuneration from employment,
and working conditions.
This section discusses how the T&C and garment industry is referred to in the most
recent National Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSP‘s) for the following developing
countries and highly dependent T&C exporters: Bangladesh; Lesotho; Cambodia;
Pakistan; Laos PDR and Madagascar
Indian T&C market is estimated at Rs. 2.55 Trillion (2007-08) by exports secretarial for
35% of total marketplace value. Other important export markets are UAE (6%), China
(5%), Bangladesh (3%) and Japan (1%)
Comparatively large-scale mills that participate spinning, weaving and, occasionally,
fabric final are common in other major textile-producing countries. In India, though,
these categories of mills now account for about only 3% of productivity in the textile
sector. Around 276 compound mills are now working in India, most possessed by the
community sector and several deemed monetarily ―sick.‖
STRENGTHS
Strong domestic textile presence across the entire value chain
Abundant availability of raw material, both cotton and man-made.
Increasing modernization of Indian T&C manufacturing sector facilitated by the TUF
Scheme.
WEAKNESSES
High dependence of T&C trade on EU27 and US
Large number of small scale units in the garment industry on account of reservation
under SSI till recently thus, lacking benefits of economies of scale.
Weaving, garmenting and processing sectors of the industry are still not fully
modernized.
High dependence of Indian T&C industry on Cotton as against the world T&C industry
which is dominated by man-made fiber. This difference is expected to further increase
with the increase in the excise duty of man-made fiber from 4% to 8% announced in
Budget 2009-10.
Lack of trained manpower
OPPORTUNITIES
Favorable demographics in the domestic market; increasing young population coupled
with rising income levels in the domestic market is likely to act as a key growth factor for
the Indian textile Industry.
Increasing production costs in China resulting in China becoming non-competitive
THREATS
Removal of US and EU quotas on imports from China from December 31, 2008
Emerging low cost garment manufacturers i.e. Bangladesh, Vietnam and Sri Lanka
Trade defense measures been taken by certain major export markets of India
COMPARATIVE POSITION
The most important sectors of the Indian economy are textile sector. Further, 23% of the
State GDP comes from textiles. The city of Surat alone contributes to 40% of art silk
fabric produced in India and is the largest production base for man-made fabrics.
Spinning
Weaving
Processing
Apparel
The Indian textile industry contributes about 14% to industrial production, 4% to the
county‘s overweight national invention and 17% to the county‘s export incomes.
Large availability of raw material like cotton takes significantly contributed to the growth
of textile sector in Gujarat. In current times there has been a shift of the textile hub from
Mumbai to Gujarat, largely due to lower cost of real estate in Gujarat.
Textile business division qualified to reward concessional mortgages for technology
promotion requirements include
Revolving, yarn ginning and pressing
Silk winding and snaking
Material washing and exploring
Artificial thread yarn texturizing, folding and winding
Industrial of viscose thread yarn (VTY) or viscose principal fiber (VPF)
Knitting or interweaving including non-woven and technical cloths
Clothes, made-up industrialized
Treating of fibre, yarn, fabric, dresses and made-ups
Jute
Laws will give additional opportunities to the surviving players and encourage new
players to start their venture in the State. Technology is the key near success in the
textile industry. The State should, thus focus on building retail opportunities in textiles &
garments to chance the growing demand in the country. Thus, the State must leverage
on available resources and should focus on expanding the portfolio of technical textiles.
India is the world‘s second-largest textile producer and is diversified and capable of
manufacturing a wide variety of textiles. The spinning segment is fairly modernized and
competitive, accounting for about 20% of world cotton yarn exports.
Though the mainstream of the goods are easily importable, the Exim Policy (2007) of
India forbids import of certain types of merchandises as well as conditional import of
certain things. In such a condition it develops significant for the importer to must an
import license issued by the delivering establishments of the Government of India.
Some damage in the import license is typically glancing at by custom administrators of
the tradition subdivision. Client examiner and other practice representatives have
specialist to inspect and appraise the goods to be imported. It‘s a portion of their job to
control whether imports imitate to the explanation in the import Certificate or not.
Custom authorized even have correct to custody penalties and consequences if any
damage in the introduction license is found to be complete by the importer.
Trade barriers prevent higher trade on both the intensive and extensive margins, with
barriers to market entry in particular affecting trade on the extensive margin. Crozet &
Koenig (2010) find that, on average, the extensive margin channels 74% of the impact
of trade barriers on total trade.
Variable trade costs, including transport costs, will affect trade on the extensive margin,
in terms of the number of country trading partners, more for homogenous goods than for
differentiated/innovative goods. Since homogenous goods are more easily substitutable
and compete more on price, these goods will tend to be exported from a country that is
geographically close to the recipient market and that has low bilateral trade barriers with
the recipient country.
By consumerism and reusable income on the inclination, the wholesale segment has
witnessed speedy growth in the past period. A number of international retailers are also
concentrating on India due to its development as a potential sourcing destination.
Fixed costs of market entry have a larger impact on the extensive margin than on the
intensive margin of trade. The effect is larger for differentiated/innovative goods than for
homogenous goods, and the share of exports explained by the extensive margin is
larger in these sectors.
This suggests that the fixed costs of entry arising from distance can dominate the effect
of variable costs on the extensive margin at firm level, and, as argued by Rauch, that
these fixed costs are greater for firms selling differentiated products. Consistent with this
idea, Koenig also finds that the share of exports explained by the extensive margin, in
terms of the number of firms exporting, is larger in sectors with more differentiated
products.
Therefore, when the elasticity of substitution is low, a reduction in barriers to entry for
UK firms in China will result in more UK firms entering the Chinese market (as well as
existing exporters exporting larger volumes), and a large increase in overall UK-China
exports, potentially increasing the UK‘s market share.
Services do not go through customs and cannot be observed crossing a border.
However, there are considerable trade barriers behind the border, related to compliance
with regulation, which require considerable resources on the part of the exporter.
The impact of fixed market entry costs is larger for differentiated goods, as these costs
tend to increase with product complexity, and the share of exports explained by the
extensive margin is larger in these sectors
Central Silk Board has traditional an objective of 26,000 tons of rawsilk manufacture by
2011-12. To accomplish these goals, association with the private sector, especially
main agro-based businesses in both pre-cocoon and post-cocoon sections, is being
encouraged.
By consumerism and reusable income on the inclination, the wholesale segment has
witnessed speedy growth in the past period. A number of international retailers are also
concentrating on India due to its development as a potential sourcing destination.
The Government of India has planned the formation of some CoEs training the workers
in the textile area.
The prospective size of the Indian textile business is expected to touch US$ 220 billion
by 2020.
From over all analysis about the textile industry of United Kingdom and India we can
conclude that textile industry is one of the largest and oldest sectors in the world and
among the most important in the economy in terms of output and investment.
As per our analysis we can conclude that this business don‘t having end in present
competitive market. This is having best opportunities in different sectors at global level.
In textile industry‘s impact of fixed market entry costs is larger for differentiated goods,
as these costs tend to increase with product complexity, and the share of exports
explained by the extensive margin is larger in these sectors.
As per our opinions in present world every person is using cloths and will be used in
future to protect their body. So we can get the best chances to make good position in
textiles industry with innovative technology and designs which require every people.
We are indebted to some great personalities who always inspire us to do this job.
In the pursuit of management excellence every student owes a great deal to the insights
and suggestions of others and we are no exception. We believe learning is a process
that entails to give and take exchange of ideas and value addition through discussion.
Last, but not the least, we are thankful to Gujarat Technological University for
introducing to take Global Country report in a sector / industry and prepare report as a
significant aspect of our Master of Business Administration practical experience to
actual business environment at global level.
Frankly speaking, any job or the task, have the specific objective i.e. what is need and
what is the requirement of the particular work. In the same way our objective is also to
learn something from the Global Country Report.
GROUP - 5
“A STUDY OF OIL & GAS INDUSTRY IN UK”
(PART -1)
Global country study report is a part of SEM 3 and 4 as per GTU curriculum. In this part
of study groups are been formed to study particular country. In the study of global
country our group has selected United Kingdom as country for global country report.
Under study of country we are able to get idea about the sectors which we have
to choose for global report. Under the United Kingdom country we have selected the oil
and gas sector for studying the global country for such report.
While doing the report firstly we have analyzed the demographic profile of the
country. The demographic view of the country shows that the UK has played vital role in
parliamentary democracy. We have also found that at first half of 20th century
UK‘sgiftvery depleted in two world wars. The second half witnessed the
dismantling of the Empire and the UK transformation itself into a current and
rich European nation.
Secondly, we have analyzed economic overview of country. In
economic overview of country we have found that UK is third largest trading
power and financial center in Europe after Germany and France. In 2005 UK
become a net importer of energy and UK oil & gas are decline .UK Have also
analysedthat Facinggrowing public shortages and debt levels, in 2010 the
started a five-year austerity program by CAMERON management, which aims
to lesser London's budget shortage from over 10% of GDP in 2010 to nearly
1% by 2015.
The position due topositionfinancial sectorthe global financial disaster
hit the economy in 2008. The UK is the sixth largest economy in the world, with a
gross domestic product (GDP) of 3.62 %.
The economic growth of UK is 2% due to inflation. The unemployment of country is high
as it is increased at 8%.
Thirdly, we have studied overview of Different industries in UK. In such
study we got an idea about various industries in UK playing vital role in leading their
performance in country. The various industry we have study are Plumbing,
Construction, Oil and gas, IT and computing, Midwifery, Teaching, Finance, Customer
services, Public Relations and Nursing.
Fourthly, we have studied the dominant sector of UK. The various industry
studied by us are Agriculture, Manufacturing and Mining. We have also studied fifthly
the overview of business and trade at international level at which we come to know
that the daily highest volume is counted in trillions and billions in UK, is happen when
New York enters the trade. UK‘s currency is pound sterling and it is represented by the
symbol £.
India-UK Bilateral Trade Data
Sixthly, we have studied comparison of UK‟s share in India‟s total trade. This can be
easily understable through following table.

Seventhly, we have studied the pestle analysis of UK from which we can say
that under political factors the probable in mid-2010 UK resident population was
62,262,000, a raise of 470,000(0.8 per cent) on the previous year, and a raise of 3.1
million compared with mid-2001.Natural change added 243,000 to the population in the
year to mid-2010, 26,000 more than the2009 figure of 217,000. Except for the small
decrease between mid-2008 and mid-2009, population growth as a result of natural
change has increased in each consecutive year since 2002.
Under economic factors a distressed market is showing that the UK‘s concerned
sales market is showing ideal property looking to buy up residential for investors and
reduced pricesgreatly atcommercial properties. Again under such economic
factors"Unpolluted investment" strategies are feasible options in many areas of the UK,
in UK buying off-plan assetsallowing you to at the lowest possible prices. Investors
buying as a lowest "money-down" payment with early as possible and then afterselling
both residential and commercial properties in the UK prior to completion are gaining
significant profits .
Suddenly the UK economy has of progression slowed down but government
figures still indicate that annual growth is expected to reach a predicted average of 2.5%
in 2009. The economic stability under such economic factors shows that the third most
populated state in the European is Unionthe United Kingdom and, despite an economic
slowdown, there is high demand for commercial and residential real estate, particularly
in rental market.
An easy investment option for many buyers of UK 3000 loan products make
whoch satisfy the currently severe lending criteria. In spite of a decrease in the number
of loans being approved, on October 2007 lending figures totalled £18.9 billion, which is
up to the 6% on the previous month. This year, the figure remains healthy because of
partly due to a large expanse of re-mortgaging services now being approved. The
demand under economic factors shows that the number of households expected to
increase by 223,000 p.a in England alone, without taking settlement figures into
reflection.
Under technological factors we come to know that Competitive market conditions
or incentives to invest in modern technologies can spur innovation in firms. At the same
time, a shortage of skilled workers or access to finance can be barriers to innovation.
While the environmental factors shows that the biggest danger to health, and the most
likely to occur, is a major heat wave. The report predicts a heat wave will occur by 2012,
causing between 3,000 and 10,000 deaths. The report also forecastsfood poisoning
casesannearly 15% increase, out of about 14,000employed extra food poisoning cases
every year.
The legal factors of pestle analysis results that the most current court ruling in
this area was in the case of Vakante v Addey and Stanhope School [2005] ICR 231.The
result of these rulings is that a non- or semi-compliant migrant worker is unable to
enforce any employment rights that are dependent on the making of an individual claim.
(PART-2)
Under the report we have also studied the sectors in detail. We have taken Oil
and Gas sector for detail study under which we firstly studied the introduction of the
sector and role of such sector in economy.
Firstly, we studied the introduction of the sector and role of such sector in
economy. In 1975, the government introduced ring fence provisions in respect of
corporation tax profits from UK oil production. From 1984 capital gains arising on the
disposal of field interests or field assets were brought within the ring fence. We also
come to know that there is a ring fence corporation tax levied at a rate of 30% on
upstream oil & gas activities.Marine technology, skills and expertise pioneered in oil and
gas are important in the design, installation and maintenance of offshore wind
turbines.39 billion barrels (6.2×109 m3) of oil and gas have been produced on the UKCS
and up to 25 billion barrels (4.0×109 m3) are left.
Asset integrity is the ability of an oil and gas asset to perform its required function effectively
and efficiently whilst protecting health, safety and the environment. Asset integrity management
is the means of ensuring that the people, systems, processes and resources that deliver
integrity are in place, in use and will perform when required over the whole lifecycle of the asset.
It is expected that tax revenues from production will fall to £6.9 billion in 2009-10 based on an oil
price of $47 per barrel, providing 20% of total corporation taxes. In addition to production taxes,
the supply chain contributes another £5-6 billion per year in corporation and payroll taxes.
Secondly, we study that the structure, function and business activities of industry.
We also come to know that the location is 99% of production of oil and gas occurs
under sea from the ocean floor known as UK continental shelf (UKCS). For employment
we studied that a thriving exports business is estimated to support a further 100,000
jobs. 21% of the workforce is from South East England, 15% from the North of England,
and 12% from the East of England. First Point Assessment Limited (FPAL) is the key
tool used by oil and gas companies to identify and select current and potential suppliers
which shows that the needs of over 70 purchasing organizations with the capabilities of
over 2,400 suppliers. Under tax contributions 2008 salaries averaged circa £50,000 a
year across a broad sample of supply chain companies, with the Exchequer benefiting
by £19,500 per head in payroll taxes.
Under the technology and innovation we come to know that the operating
environment in the waters around the UK is harsh and demanding. UK exports of oil-
related goods and services have been estimated at more than £5 billion a year in value.
The Industry‘s Technology Facilitator (ITF) identifies needs and facilitates the
development of new technology to meet those needs through joint industry projects with
up to 100% funding available for promising solutions.
Thirdly, the Present position and trend of India with UK shows that the India
export to U.K., textiles, readymade garment, jewellery and germs, leather goods,
footwear, goods relating with engineering, good of metal manufactures, equipment of
power engineering, services of software, pharmaceutical, products of marine,
chemicals, rice, tea and the products of agriculture like nuts, vegetables and fruits.
India imports from U.K which includes certain goods such as gold, metal, rough
demands, power generating and equipment of telecom, non ferrous metals, equipment
of transport, machinery of industries and chemicals. From UK‘s point of view, India was
UK‘s 15th very large market of export & UK‘s largest exporting market in the developing
world. India is the 25th largest exporter country to U.K.
Statistics of Oil industry gives information that the Oil and gas industry
performed as confront before the scenario of the global economy. In non Asian
countries, there is speedy growing oil consumption.
The OECD Asia including India and China accounts for around 40% of the total
increase in the use of oil in the world. With the help of prediction this is found that for
meeting the project which will increase in the word, the total petroleum supply in year
2030 is required to reach at 118 million barrels per day from 80 million barrels per day
as in 2005.
Among the different sectors, transportation sector has led to high pressure on
the oil and gas industry, because there are only few alternatives for the petroleum. The
report has shown that world oil reserves at 1293 billion barrels as of 1st January 2008.
Relationships between India and UK conclude that bilateral relations have
progressively wired in the last two years and now at their strong for a very long time.
This is affected in many areas, including close on current international issues; two sided
trade (£13.8 billion in 2010); increased educations, and increasing of UK development
assistance over the next two years (to £300 million).
Fourthly, we studied the policies and norms of oil and gas in UK says that the
European Union (EU) is customs union, you can buy the goods from other members of
the countries without restrictions, although, VAT & excise duties are also apply. If you
import the goods from outside of the europium union, you have to obey with the
requirement of import licensing and tariffs that apply across the Surtaxes paid during
year are shown in following table.
Restrictions and antidumping duties also apply to certain specific commodities. Use
Tariff for differentiating the goods or products for finding out which rules and regulations
is applied. On 27 October 2010, restrictive measures apply in the European Union on
exports to Iran's oil and gas industry. These measures were issued in Council
Regulation (EU) 961/2010.The current main rate of tax on ring fence profits, which is set
separately from the rate of mainstream corporation tax, is 30%.
The current rate of PRT is 50%; PRT is deductible as an expense in calculating
profits chargeable to ring fence corporation tax and supplementary charge. The
marginal tax rate is 81% on income from fields paying PRT, 30% on production income
from qualifying new fields if that income is wholly covered by field allowance and 62%
otherwise.
Fifthly, we studied present trade barriers of oil and gas industries which implied that
under domestic environment factors are broadly related to the domestic, economic and
political conditions, which are including existing and potential resources, level and trend
of economic growth, industrial base and structure, and the existence of facilitating and
supporting agencies for foreign trade.

“A STUDY OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN UK”
The United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in developing
parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its
zenith in the 19th century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the
earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength
seriously depleted in two world wars and the Irish republic withdraw from the
union. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK
rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of
five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of
NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to
foreign policy. The UK is also an active member of the EU, althou gh it chose
to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. The Scottish
Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland
Assembly were established in 1999. The latter was suspended until May 2007
due to wrangling over the peace process, but devolution was fully completed
in March 2010.

the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the
growth of social welfare programs After emerging from recession in 1992,
Britain's economy enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during
which time growth outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the
global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance
of its financial sector.

time high
3. Oil and Gas
The recent rise in fuel prices and claims that the world's existing oil reserves are drying
up haven't stopped oil production
4. IT & Computing
The UK's IT industry is growing at five to eight times the national growth average and
needs around 150,000 new entrants every year to meet current levels of demand.
However, with 58% of employers struggling to fill positions, this has pushed salaries up
to an average of £40,300 per annum. And in the next three years
5. Midwifery
In the next ten years, the UK population is forecast to exceed 70 million – a combination
of immigration into the country and the fact that birth rates have continued to rise by
12.5% every year.
6. Teaching
With 32,000 vacancies to fill every year and a 10% fall in applicants enrolling on teacher
training courses in 2008, there is a huge demand for teachers. Maths, English, History,
Chemistry and French teachers are among the most sought after, according to the
Policy Exchange.
7. Finance
The banking and financial sector currently employs around 350,000 people
throughout the UK. And despite fears of mass job losses and the closure of some high-
profile financial institutions such as Northern Rock, demand remains relatively robust.
The Skills Review suggests that there are around 6,000 vacancies at present, with
product analysts, risk managers and credit analysts being the most in demand.
UK Industries, GDP Composition by Sector:
UK Services Sector – 76.2 per cent of GDP
UK Industry & Manufacturing – 22.8 per cent of GDP
UK Agriculture – 0.9 per cent of GDP
Dominant industries in UK:
1. Agriculture industry in the United Kingdom
Agriculture in the United Kingdom uses around 71% of the country's land area
and contributes about 0.6% of its gross value added. The total area on agricultural
holdings is about 17.1 million hectares (43 million acres), or 18.3 million including
rough grazing land, of which 6.2 million hectares (15.3 million acres) are
droppable
2. Manufacturing industry in the United Kingdom
In June 2010 British Manufacturing accounted for 8.2% of the workforce and 12%
of the national output in June 2010 The East Midlands and West Midlands (at
12.6 and 11.8% respectively) were the regions with the highest proportion of
employees.
3. Automotive industry in UK
The automotive unit uses its unique knowledge of the sector, materials,
companies, technologies and the regulatory framework to ensure the UK is best placed
to benefit from the challenges of globalisation and help the UK Automotive Industry
succeed.
Present trade relations and business volume of different products
with India:
There has been a gradual decrease in UK‘s share in India‘s bilateral trade, both in
exports and imports during the last five years. India‘s main exports to the UK were
cotton ready-made garments and textiles (17.64%), transport equipments (7.63%),
spices (5.79%), ores and minerals(4.98%), manufactures of metals (4.83%), machinery
and instruments (4.63%), drugs &
pharmaceuticals (3.90%) and marine products (3.89%). The main imports from the UK
to India were metalifers, ores and metal scraps (7.70%), pearls & semi precious stones
(4.89%), professional instruments other than electronics (3.61%), non-ferrous metals
(3.37%), chemicals (3.18%), and machinery (3.03%).
Pestel Analysis of UK:
There are many factors in the macro-environment that will effect the
decisions of the managers of any organisation. Tax changes, new laws, trade barriers,
demographic change and government policy changes are all examples of macro
change. To help analyse these factors managers can categorise them using the
PESTEL model. This classification distinguishes between:
Typical PESTEL factors to consider include:
Factor Could include:
Political e.g. EU enlargement, the euro, international trade, taxation policy
Economic e.g. interest rates, exchange rates, national income, inflation,
unemployment, Stock Market
Social e.g. ageing population, attitudes to work, income distribution
Technological e.g. innovation, new product development, rate of technological
obsolescence
Environmental e.g. global warming, environmental issues
Legal e.g. competition law, health and safety, employment law
Automotive industry in the United Kingdom
The automotive industry in the United Kingdom is now best known for premium and
sports car marques including Aston Martin, Bentley, Daimler, Jaguar, Lagonda, Land
Rover, Lotus, McLaren, MG, Mini, Morgan and Rolls-Royce. Volume car manufacturers
with a major presence in the UK include Ford, Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Vauxhall
Motors (owned by General Motors). Commercial vehicle manufacturers active in the UK
include Alexander Dennis, Ford, GMM Luton (owned by General Motors), Leyland
Trucks (owned by Paccar) and London Taxis International
Contribution of the automotive industry to the national economy
There are many ways in which to assess the economic contribution of an industry sector
to the wider economy, such as employment or contribution to GDP
Inputs and outputs
Data exists to analyse where the auto sector buys its inputs, and where the products
are sold. Latest available data comes from the 2006 Input & Output publication, which
has data up to 2004xxii. The input data shows that the single largest source of supply is
other companies within the sector
Growth performance of the automotive industry
When assessing the relative performance of a national industry, growth is a key
measure. The assumption is that any growth at a rate above the growth of the overall
national economy is a sign of success of a given industry. Secondly, one can compare
the growth rates of national industry sectors across countries
Employment in the automotive industry
One of the main contribution mechanisms of any industry to a national economy is
through employment, and the compensation that is paid to the workers the industry
employs. When one considers the number of persons directly employed in the UK
automotive industry has shrunk by more than 90,000, with a CAGR of ‐3.89% between
1996 and 2006.
Present position of Automobile import and export of India:
The data available from UK‟ s Office for National Statistics (ONS) bilateral goods trade
in 2011 was estimated to have been increased by about 20% to £11.796 billion
(US$18.87bn). According to the ONS, India‘s imports from the UK rise to 40%, whereas
the increase in India‘s exports to the UK was around 5.5% only. The Balance of
Payment position which in 2010 was £1.71 billion in India‘s favor has been decreased to
£400 million in 2011.
The automotive unit uses its unique knowledge of the sector, materials,
companies, technologies and the regulatory framework to ensure the UK is best placed
to benefit from the challenges of globalization and help the UK Automotive Industry
succeed The sector has two distinct parts: the manufacture of vehicles and
components; and the motor trade (including retail, distribution and aftermarket services
Trade policy
It has been one year since the Government launched the Trade and Investment White
Paper. Led by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and working closely
with UK Trade and Investment and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the White
Paper advocated a whole of government approach to trade and UK growth.
Free trade
Why is free trade important?
As an open economy the UK benefits from a liberalized world trade system. It creates
new opportunities to increase trade with other developed and developing countries. It
encourages the development of a strong system for intellectual property rights, including
copyright, trademarks and patents. It is vital to protect innovative products and
technology from counterfeiting.

Government Policy
India‘s progress in the fields of automobiles industries have been extraordinary
and mainly due to the hard work of both the Government and the industry by way
of inducting and adopting modern technology best suited for the purpose
Business opportunities in future
The market for automobiles in Europe is likely to reach 23.9 million units in
2006for cars and 2.1 million units in 2006 for light trucks. India‘s exports of
complete range of vehicles were negligible. A few cars arrived in France during
1999
CONCLUSION
The question that has often been asked is "Does the Indian Industry has the power to
compete internationally? There is no simple answer to this. Rather one would have to
make a detailed analysis often strengths weaknesses of the Indian industry with a
specific focus on what Indian Industry is and should be doing to cope with the ride of
global competition. Although it would be very difficult to analyze all aspects of exports
an attempt has been made of high lights the issue relevant to in Indian automobile
industry exports.

“A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RETAIL BUSINESS OF KINGFISHER
(UK) WITH INDIAN RETAIL BUSINESS”
Demogramphic Profile of UK
Including population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace,
economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population.
According to the 2001 census, the total population of the United Kingdom was
58,789,194—the third-largest in the European Union (behind Germany and metropolitan
France) and the 21st-largest in the world. Its overall population density is one of the
highest in the world, due to the particularly high population density in England. Almost
one-third of the population lives in England's southeast and is predominantly urban and
suburban, with about 8.2 million in the capital city of London. The United Kingdom's
extremely high literacy rate (99%) is attributable to universal public education introduced
for the primary level in 1870 (Scotland 1872, free 1890[1]) and secondary level in 1900.
Parents are obliged to have their children educated from the ages of 5 to 16 (with
legislation passed to raise this to 18), and can continue education free of charge in the
form of A-Levels, vocational training or apprenticeship to age 18. About 40% of British
students go on to post-secondary education (18+). The Church of England and
the Church of Scotland function as the national churches in their respective countries,
but all the major religions found in the world are represented in the United Kingdom.
The Economic Overview of UK
The economy of the United Kingdom is the sixth-largest national
economy in the world measured by nominal GDP and seventh-largest measured
by purchasing power parity (PPP), and the third-largest in Europe measured by nominal
GDP (after Germany andFrance) and second-largest measured by PPP (after
Germany). The UK's GDP per capita is the 20th highest in the world in nominal
terms and the 17th highest measured by PPP. The British economy comprises the
economies of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK
is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the European Union,
In the 18th century the UK was the first country in the world
to industrialize, and during the 19th century possessed a dominant role in the global
economy. From the late 19th century the Second Industrial Revolution in the United
States and the German Empire presented an increasing challenge to Britain's role as
leader of the global economy. Despite victory, the costs of fighting both the First World
War and Second World War further weakened the relative economic position of the UK,
and by 1945 Britain had been superseded by the United States as the world's dominant
economic power. However, the UK still maintains a significant role in the world
economy.
Pestel Analysis of UK
The external environment of any organisation / university / faculty / department
etc. can be analyzed by conducting a PEST analysis. The acronym PEST (sometimes
rearranged as STEP) is used to describe a framework for the analysis a range of macro
environmental factors including the Political, Economical Social and Technological
environment. A PEST analysis should relate to:
1. The external environment outside of the unit but within UCC, and
2. The external environment outside of UCC, given the national and international
profILE of the office The PEST analysis provides the following simple framework:
Political Factors
Political factors can have a direct impact on the way business operates. Decisions
made by government affect the operations of units within the university to a varying
degree. Political refers to the big and small ‗p‘ political forces and influences that may
affect the performance of, or the options open to the unit concerned. The political arena
has a huge influence upon the regulation of public and private sector businesses, and
the spending power of consumers and other businesses, both within UCC and outside
of UCC. Political factors include government regulations and legal issues and define
both formal and informal rules under which UCC and units must operate.
How stable is the internal/external political environment?
Will government policy influence laws that regulate third level education?
What is the government's policy on the education?
Is the government involved in trading agreements such as the Bologna
Agreement?
The impact of employment laws
EconomicFactors
All businesses are affected by economical factors nationally and globally. Whether an
economy is in a boom, recession or recovery will also affect consumer confidence and
behaviour. The dramatic impact of reduced funds upon UCC is already very apparent.
This will impact upon the nature of the competition faced by the university and particular
units within the university, upon service provision, and upon the financial resources
available within UCC. Economic factors affect the purchasing power of potential
customers, and the state of the internal/external economy in the short and long-term.
The unit may need to consider.
Economicgrowth
Interestrates
inflationrate
Budget allocation
The level of inflation
Employment level per capita
Social/Sociological Factors
Social factors will include the demographic changes, trends in the way people live, work
and think and cultural aspects of the macro environment. These factors affect customer
needs and the size of potential markets (inside and outside of UCC).
• Population growth rate
• Age distribution
• Career attitudes
• Internal/external emphasis on safety
• Internal/external attitudes to change
Technological Factors
New approaches to doing new and old things, and tackling new and old problems do not
necessarily involve technical factors, however, technological factors are vital for
competitive advantage, and are a major driver of change and efficiency. Technological;
factors can for example lower barriers to entry, reduce minimum efficient production
levels, and influence outsourcing decisions. New technology is changing the way
business operates. What are the implications for the unit? Do we exploit the available
technology to the advantage of the unit and UCC?
• Automation
• Technology incentives
• Rate of technological change
• Perception of technological change within the unit
• Stakeholder expectation
It is also needed to take into consideration „Micro Environmental Factors‟, those
internal factors close to the unit that have a direct impact on the unit and UCC strategic
planning. These will include:
• Customers: Organisations survive on the basis of meeting the needs, wants and
providing benefits for their customers. Failure to do so will result in a failed business
strategy.
• Employees: Employing the correct staff and keeping these staff motivated is an
essential part of the strategic planning process of an organisation. Training and
development plays an essential role particular in service sector marketing in-order to
gain a competitive edge. This is clearly apparent in the airline industry.

Policy Development the Creating and implementing policy is a key element of the
Agency‘s work. Both in its medicines and devices responsibilities, the Agency seeks to
build up and successfully deliver new policies and look seriously at existing regulation
and procedures to progress them wherever possible. All the course of action proposal
are undertaken with the honesty of superior parameter in mind, so that the regulatory
framework is in proportion, targeted, and focused on activities that can make a real
distinction to defense health and for the advantage of patients.
Teams in the Policy Division coordinate the Agency‘s input, on behalf of United
Kingdom Government, to all discussions in Brussels on medicine and medical devices
legislation. The role in Europe as wider than just formal discussions on new legislation;
for example we work closely with fellow regulators from other European Union countries
All these actions enable us to become deeper our links and authority crossways
Europe, so we can shape the regulatory program line with the welfare of United
Kingdom stakeholders and government.
Engagement Beyond Europe is the organization has links with other result
controller such as the FDA in the United States and acting a most vital function in
international normal setting for such as the International Conference on Harmonization
and the Global Harmonization commission Force on medicines and devices
respectively.
The Hampton Principles are of UK such as,
All-inclusive danger evaluation should be used to focus resources on the areas
that necessitate them a large amount
Businesses should not have to give avoidable or photocopy in sequence
Businesses that determinedly smash convention should be recognized speedily
Regulators should make available dependable and accessible suggestion easily
and economically
Regulators should know that a answer component of their role is to allow
economic progress and only intervene when there is a obvious case for doing so.
The first comprehensive licensing system for medicines in the United Kingdom was
the Medicines take action of 1968. The present related legislation is given in European
instruction relating to medicinal goods for human use. European legislation takes
precedence, there are regulations in the Medicines Act specific to the UK.
European Legislation
This legislation regulates the licensing, produce of and wholesale production in
medicinal products within the European Community.
Laying down the principles and guidelines of good manufacturing practice in
respect of medicinal products for human use and investigational medicinal
products
This Directive lays down the principles and guidelines of good manufacturing
practice in respect of medicinal products for human use whose manufacture
requires the permission.
UK‟s primary and secondary legislation:
Primary Legislation
This Act regulates, in part, the produce, allocation and opening of medicinal
products.
Secondary Legislation
Replaces, as compliments medicinal products to which the relevant EU
legislation applies the existing regulations which implement the Directive
2001/83/EC, as amended. Sets out the obligations with which holders of
manufacturer‘s and wholesale dealer‘s licenses must comply in respect of those
licenses.
These Regulations relate to applications for the grant of Manufacturer‘s and
Wholesale Dealer‘s Licenses other than licenses of right. They prescribe the form
and manner in which such applications are to be made, and specify the
information that shall accompany each application.
Pharmaceutical Industry‘s policies and norms includes policy development
delivery, policy development, appointment outside different countries and their
regulations in primary and secondary legislation. Policy for Drug Application Procedures
and import/export market with government regulatory frameworks.
The imports of UK pharmaceuticals are estimated at 10 to 12% of the total
market. The major suppliers are Switzerland, China, USA, Germany, Italy, Denmark,
France, and UK. Imports include raw materials and finished products. The imports from
Switzerland, US and Germany primarily consist of finished medicament in dosage forms
for retail sales.
Exports make up almost 40% of the production, with formulations contributing
55% and mass drugs 45%. India also exports pharmaceuticals to numerous countries
around the world, including to the U.S., Germany, France, Russia and UK. The
pharmaceutical exports in 2007-08 stand at US$ 6.68 billion against US$ 5.73billion in
2006-07, recording a growth rate of 16 per cent. The industry has been clocking export
growth rate, recording 18 per cent, 23 per cent and 17 per cent growth rates during
2006-07, 2005-06, and 2004-05, respectively.
The Budget 2012-13 on Pharma sector has proposed- to tax all companies at the
minimum alternate tax of 18.5%. The budget also improved the excise duty on drug
formulation and Active Pharma Ingredients from 5% to 6% and 10% to 12%
respectively. The budget has further announced to continue the assumption of 200% for
in-house R&D for another 5 years. Additional there were certain announcements for
capital expenditure on large hospitals and it is expected to benefit the players who are
into managing hospitals.
The Present barriers for import/export in Pharmaceutical Industry of UK are like
differentiae‘s, shortage of medicines, currency exchange rate in market, Department of
Health strongly Discoursing involvement in export.
The British Association of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers prepared a list of 26 drugs
that seemed difficult to obtain. The Chief Pharmaceutical Officer at the Department of
Health issued a letter to secondary care trusts strongly discouraging involvement in
exporting in September 2010. Such initiative would be comparable to running an import
and export business somewhat funded by taxpayers.
Almost 40% of pharmacists experienced difficulties sourcing the anti-obesity
drug. The go down in value of the pound sandwiched between 2005 and 2009 accounts
for much of the change in the position of the UK relative to other countries over this
period.
The United Kingdom ranked 11 out of 12, behind the United States and all of its
counterparts in Europe. The UK Commission observations that countries can prohibit
parallel pharmaceutical imports that "constitute a risk to the protection of human health
and life and to the protection of industrial and commercial property".
It has been also studied Pharmaceutical Industry‘s opportunity in U.K. including
the changing business Model, Growth of Counterfeit medicines, shifting Healthcare
landscape, emerging markets, education and tomorrow‘s world etc.
An Investing in generic products in order to stem eroding profits from patent expiries
and to gain Access, and a foothold, in up-and-coming markets. Seeking increased and
enhanced diversity in the product pipeline to encourage flexibility and to spread product
threat and uncertainty.
Improving understanding of the move towards personalized medicines as based on
patient genomes and the increasing strategic & clinical importance of biotechnology.
The pharmaceutical industry desires to put into practice further measures, such
initiatives like the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, to improve global and systemic
coordination.
The UK government, make sure legislation is correctly constrict and suitable
deterrents and penalties are put into place to deal with counterfeiting. National
governments – with the help of international organizations – to work cooperatively and
collaboratively to improve coordinate international action against counterfeiting.
As the forces of globalization continue to push and pull, emerging markets in
countries such as India, China and Brazil grow in importance and significance, the UK
pharmaceutical industry increasingly requires the following action:
The UK government to engage in cross comparison and evaluation with other
countries and Markets to assess vibrant competitiveness and associated
opportunities.
Te UK government to formulate a cohesive and creative industrial policy to reverse
the Current trend of decline and international displacement in pharmaceutical
manufacturing and R&D.
The UK governments to raise investment in science at every academic level and
establish a Strategy group with responsibility for monitoring progress.
Join up government policy across various departments to deal more effectively with
this Imperative.
Promote positive campaigns to incentivize science and scientific careers.
For future prospective the UK pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement:
The needs to better and further clearly demonstrate product value, and the require to
carefully tailor economic and clinical arguments to justify optimal reimbursement.
The importance of improving clinical trial design and early product selection to
support economic arguments when going to market.
The increased use and application of risk-sharing schemes and thus the need for
cogent and Evidence-based economic strategizing.
The increased emphasis being placed on patient and product compliance, and the
associated need to demonstrate product capabilities in this regard.
Given that the issue of animal rights activism continues to represent a problem to
the UK Pharmaceutical industry, the following action is suggested:
The UK government continues to recognize the risk posed by extremist activity and
utilizes Amending legislation as required.
International governments, particularly at the European level, increase cooperative
and Collaborative hard work to deal with this persistent problem.
The UK government clearly asserts and emphasizes the critical importance of British
based Pharmaceutical and scientific research into life-saving treatments.

“A STUDY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY IN UK”
Demographic Profile of UK
The United Kingdom is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland. It has a long history as a major player in international affairs and fulfils an
important role in the EU, UN and Nato.
The twentieth century saw Britain having to redefine its place in the world. At the
beginning of the century it commanded a world-wide empire as the foremost global
power. Two world wars and the end of empire diminished its role, but the UK remains a
major economic and military power, with considerable political and cultural influence
around the world.
Britain was the world's first industrialized country. Its economy remains one of the
largest, but it has for many years been based on service industries rather than on
manufacturing. UK population is on decline, for the reason that people live longer, and
smaller numbers of children are born. This is a crisis for some enterprises not all.
Second, the age formation of the population will influence the types of products
demanded.
Economic Overview of the UK
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Great Britain became one of the world's
foremost trading nations. The kingdom established colonies in India, Asia, the
Caribbean, and North America. These colonies supplied raw materials to Great Britain,
which then turned those resources into manufactured goods. These goods were then
exported to markets in the colonies and around the world. The British economy has
experienced a period of prolonged growth since the early 1990s. For instance, from
1995 to 1999 the economy of the United Kingdom grew by a total of 10.6 percent.
Growth rates have averaged more than 2 .7 percent per year. GDP per capita increased
during this period from US$18,714 to US$21,800. In 2000, the economy grew by 2.8
percent, although the economic slowdown in the United States has produced a slower
rate of growth than economic analysts predicted.
Trade and Commerce
INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Extract from Supply management magazine.
Globalization rules the modern procurement world.
4 in 5 businesses source globally.
Benefits of global sourcing are moving beyond pure cost cutting 60% cite ethical
and environmental concerns as having significant impact on global sourcing.
International trade is the exchange of goods and services across international
boundaries or territories. In most countries, it represents a significant share of
GDP. Industrialization, advanced transportation, globalization, multinational
corporations, and outsourcing are all having a major impact. Increasing
international trade is the primary meaning of "globalization".
Free trade is usually most strongly supported by the most economically powerful
entities with nations that stand to benefit from exploitation of cheap labor, though
they often engage in selective protectionism for those industries which are
strategically important such as the protective tariffs applied to agriculture by the
United States and Europe.
Economically the relationship between UK and India is strong. India is the
second largest investor in UK after the US. UK is also one of the largest investors
in India.
Overview of Business and Trade at International Level
International trade is the exchange of goods and services across international

corporations, and outsourcing are all having a major impact. Increasing
international trade is the primary meaning of "globalization".
The regulation of international trade is done through the World Trade
Organization at the global level, and through several other regional arrangements
such as MERCOSUR in South America, NAFTA between the United States,
Canada and Mexico, and the European Union between 27 independent states.
UK main sectors - manufacturing, services, & construction
• All the main sectors of the UK economy – manufacturing, services, and
construction have recorded average positive growth in 2010, after recording big
annual declines in 2009.
• Construction output expanded most strongly in 2010 as a whole, with 6% growth;
but the sector is small and very erratic. There are often large revisions to the
published figures.
• The manufacturing sector has been a main driver of the UK recovery in the past
year

with India. The UK/India relationship is mutually beneficial and wide ranging;
covering-development, regional stability, trade and investment, climate change,
counter terrorism and reform of the global international systems.

enthusiastic material after water. Cement contrived in Portland is a local product made
in Britain and even imaginary here. No school, house, road, hospital or bridge could be
build without it.
The UK cement industry at present produces about 10 million tonnes yearly, on
behalf of about 90% of cement market. The industry uses both natural and waste-
derived materials to produce the well-known grey powder we are familiar with as
cement. The UK at present produce around 12 million tonnes of Portland cement every
year and an extra 1.5 million is imported (British Cement Association, 2007)
The growth of cement manufacture in the UK pertains to the accessibility of
appropriate unprocessed materials and long permanent reserves, such as good
superiority limestone and chalk, which can cover up the demand of great cement plants
(estimated production capability 750,000 tonnes per annum per plant).
The cement manufacturing contribute almost a billion pounds yearly to the UK
economy. It operate 12 developed and two grind and combination plants and produce
approximately ten million tonnes of Portland cement a year, on behalf of regarding 90%
of the cement sold in the UK.MPA Cement is the deal involvement on behalf of the four
major UK manufacturer, specifically:

Structure, Functions and Business Activities Of Cement Industries
STRUCTURE
The cement industry operates in regarding 150 countries of the world. China is
the major cement manufacturer with a share of 40% of the world manufacture, second
major manufacturer is India, third is USA, fourth is Japan, fifth is South Korea and
Indonesia is by the side of the 10th place in world cement manufacture. Italy, China,
Germany and Spain correspondingly are the peak 5 exporters of cement and USA,
Germany France and Japan correspondingly are the peak 5 importers of cement in the
world.
Cement is fundamentally a local product and cement moving using land is
usually limited to 200-300 km of some plant location. The cement industry operates in
concerning 150 countries of the world. The industry is consolidating internationally, but
the ten major international firms only financial records for regarding one-third of the
international market.
FUNCTION The majority ordinary make use of for cement is in the manufacture of tangible.
Concrete is a complex material consisting of aggregate, cement, and water. As a
structure material, existing can be direct in approximately any figure preferred, and just
the once rough, can become a structural element.
User may be concerned in the factory manufacture of pre-cast units, such as
panels, beams, road furniture, or may construct cast-in-situ existing such as structure
superstructures, roads, dams. These may be complete with existing assorted on
location, or could be provided with "ready-mixed" actual made at lasting integration
sites. Cement is also used in mortars for plasters and screeds, and in grouts.
Comparative Position of UK Cement Sector With India
India is the world's second largest manufacturer of cement according to the
Cement Manufacturers‘ Association.
Moreover, the government's constant force on transportation will help the key
building material to continue a yearly growth of 9-10% in 2010, according to India's
major cement company, ACC. In January 2010, mark agency Fitch predict that the
country will insert about 50 million tonnes cement ability in 2010, attractive the total to
around 300 million tonnes.
Further, communication at the Green Cementech 2010, a seminar together
organized by the amalgamation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Cement Manufacturer's
Association in Hyderabad in May 2010, G Jayaraman, Executive President, Birla
Corporation Ltd, said that in 2009, 40 MT of ability was additional and he expect a
similar tendency to follow this year. In the overall competitiveness ranking, Ambuja
Cements Ltd. comes first with 68.77 score.
The third position is taken by ACC Ltd. with 60.72 score. This effect is mainly on
account of its better performance in technological and ecological indicators as well as in
growth variables and possible. In both the pointer index, it has got first rankings.
Technological advantage comes from maximum investigate and development spending
and broad manufacture base with good number of plants, whereas it shows great
growth possible with firms‘ growth plans and good preservation expenditure.
Comparative Position of UK‟s Cement Industry for Export Import
with India
The country had been opposite acute scarcity of cement till a few years back and
it had to import cement till the center of 1980‘s for meeting the gap in demand and
supply. However, after a number of liberalization measures taken by Government, the
position was totally inverted and the country started exporting cement. The export of
cement and residue are mainly to Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius,
Africa, Scychelles, Burma, UAE, Singapore etc.
Although India is the second largest manufacturer, its share in the world deal was
only about 4% in 1994-95. Cement import of the Middle East and South East Asia
accounts for about 25-30% of the worldwide cement trade. Because of its nearness to
these countries and the reputation of Indian cement in this region, India is competent of
exploit a major share of this import.

foreign company to enter the Indian market in 1999.
Potential for Export and Import in India
India has an installed capacity of 157 million tonnes per year, making it the
second largest cement producer in the world. As is the case in the United
States, several multinational cement producers have built up a larger share of
India‘s cement production industry. For example, Holcim has acquired a 14.8%
share in Gujarat Ambuja Cements, the second largest producer in India, while
the company was already very active in India previously.
Trade
The volume of cement traded internationally has traditionally been low relative
to domestic consumption. This is due to the nature of cement, which is heavy
and takes up large volumes, making it an expensive commodity to transport.
Import
Table shows the ten largest cement importing countries in the world. The UK
imports by far the most cement; both when measured by value and by net
weight. Its import value was over $2.5billion in 2010. Spain is the only
European country that has significant imports of cement, importing over 12
million tonnes.
The UK imports significantly more in relation to its domestic production than
the world average.
Exports
Looking at the export figures, it is unsurprising that China leads this chart, as shown in
Table. China exported over 36 million tonnes of cement in 2010, with a total value of more
than $1.1 billion.

Suggestions
As cement sector of UK is being tend to be increased day by day. The quality if
cement of the companies of UK is better than the other companies of the world
and the leading companies in cement sector are also from UK. So that the
leading companies should think for expansion in India.
Because, in India, people are investing more in real estate day by day. As the
population of India and the standard of living of Indian people are increasing day
by day, people required more amenities with appropriate space and housing. So
that the people of India can also get the benefits for their housing and they can
also get employed by the companies of UK.
