DEMAND ANALYSIS OF SAMSUNG & NOKIA CELLPHONES IN INDIAN MARKETS

CHAPTER 11.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Though mobiles have become an integral part of the society for various reasons including safety, connectivity, fun, etc a lot of people still use it as a sign of status. Therefore mobiles could be marketed and sold for various segments meaning thereby that even though the telecom industry is on a high there is still a lot of scope. Any mobile manufacturer on studying a report of this kind should be able to relate to his ideas of targeting the right population for the right handset. There is a good scope for new entrants in this circle as the service provided by the existing players are not up to the mark and subscribers want to try out new ones provided they stand up to the customers expectations. MMS and Bluetooth functions are fast becoming popular with the mobile users. In fact these are becoming a criterion for choosing a mobile handset. Nokia's history starts in year 1865, it is a company that manufacture paper. Until year 1960, Nokia starts its journey into mobile industry. In year 1992, Nokia made the strategic decision to divest its non-core operations and focus on telecommunication. The company's 2100 series phone was an incredible success as many people had deep love for it. Nokia focuses on the mobile phone industry and achieve good results and reputation. On the other hands, Samsung, a small export business in Taegu, Korea has grown to become one of the worlds leading electronics companies. The Samsungs beginning starts on March 1, 1938, founding chairman Byung-Chull Lee started a business in Taegu, Korea, with 30,000 won. In the 1970s, Samsung invested in the heavy, chemical, and petrochemical industries as a strategic foundation for its future growth. Samsung diversified and expanded its core technology business globally during 1970s and manufacture mobile phone in early 1980s. Samsung dedicates to make world-class products, provide total customer satisfaction. Given these points, Nokia starts mobile business earlier than Samsung for 10years. Nokias mission is connecting people by enabling consumers to easily connect and communicate using their favorite internet communities.

Nokias vision is to let all people experience the full power of being connected everywhere, anytime. It makes the life becomes more flexible. Have in common, for Samsung, its mission and vision for the new decade are Inspire the World, Create the Future. Samsungs three key strengths: New technology, Innovative Products, and Creative Solutions, reflect into its new vision of Samsung Electronics. As for the types of products, Nokia manufactures its own mobile phones and its product line is only in mobile phones and other mobile phones accessories whereas Samsung manufactures and provides consumer electronic products like TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, MP3 player, printer, camera, mobile phone and more. Furthermore, for the name of Nokia is a name of a town where the founder of Nokia, Idestam built a mill near it and was named in 1871 when the manufacture paper company had transformed into a share company. Meanwhile, the meaning of the word Samsung is three starts or tristar in Korean Hanja. The three represents big, many and powerful, and the stars mean eternity. In addition, Nokias tag line is connecting people which Nokia wants consumers can easily connect and communicate with each and another. In the same manner, the tag-lines that Samsung used before were Samsung Digital: Everyones invited in 1990. And now, new spunky tagline, Next is What? which is being used in all of Samsung Mobile communication material. Nowadays, not only that Nokia and Samsung are competing with each other to be better in mobile phones industry, but also other brands of mobile phones in the market such as Sony Ericsson, Motorola and HTC. Nokia is the leading company that owns the majority market share in mobile phones industry, followed by Samsung and others. This project of mine focuses on the two major mobile brands in India and tries to being the factors that are in line or against those brands, as it says Nokia VS Samsung.

1.2 INTRODUCTIONThe cellular telephone is a long range portable electronic device used for mobile communication. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones can support many additional services such assessortext messaging, email, switching for access to the Internet, &MMS for sending and receivingphotos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a Cellular networkofbase stations, which is in turn interconnected to the phones. No doubt, India is one of the largest and fastest growing mobile handset markets in the world. At least five mobile handset companies have announced plans to set up manufacturing bases herein India. The gray market in India is huge. But, it is fast declining with much of the gray market catering to the lower income group of the population such as taxi drivers and plumbers. Gray market accounts for over 60% of the handset market in India. In India to buy a standard duplicate nokia phone charger it cost around Rs.30, which isquite common. Mobile Handset Replacement cycles average between 24 to 36 months. Definitely, the margins would come down for handset resellers as these handsets are locally manufactured here in India. But, a vast untapped market of nearly 70 % of India's population (India's rural sector) coupled with one of the world's cheapest mobile call charge rates here in Indiawhich, is still expected to further go down, mobile handset resellers will not have much to lose.Industry sources, though, view the market to be at its nascent stage, many large Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS), companies are seriously considering setting up their handset facilities in India. Not surprisingly, phone vendors would prefer to source the lowest-cost phones available and these come from contract manufacturers elsewhere in Asia. Opportunities are largely threatening for mobile bigwigs like Micromax, BenQ, Elcoteq, and Alcatel quibbled over licenses; now, they are fighting over spectrum. The market research report "Indian Mobile Handset Market (2012)" published by RNCOS examines ongoing market trends responsible for the escalating demand for mobile handsets and value-added services in India. The report investigates and assesses the growth factors contributing to mobile handset market and includes wide coverage of important issues and policies concerning development of Indian mobile telecommunication industry. With statistics including current market share data, leading players and manufacturers profiles, and mobile subscriber predictions for 2013, and the report covers the key aspects of the scenario in the Indian market for the mobile industry. Special emphasis is given to emerging trends in the market. This market research report also gives a complete analysis of Indias mobile market for in-depth insights into mobile subscribers base, mobile tariffs, usage patterns, and potential for value added services.CHAPTER 22.1 ABOUT NOKIA

The Nokia House, Nokia's head office located by the Gulf of Finland in Keilaniemi, Espoo, was constructed between 1995 and 1997. It is the workplace of more than 1,000 Nokia employees. 2.2 ABOUT SAMSUNG

Samsung Group is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, and are the largest South Korean chaebol.Samsung industrial subsidiaries include Samsung Electronics, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Samsung Engineering and Samsung C&T. Other subsidiaries include Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Everland and Cheil Worldwide. In 2012, it would have been the world's 35th-largest economy and in 1938 the Samsung's founder Byung-Chull Lee set up a trade export company in Korea, selling fish, vegetables, and fruit to China. Within a decade Samsung had flour mills and confectionary machines and became a co-operation in 1951. Humble beginnings.From 1958 onwards Samsung began to expand into other industries such as financial, media, chemicals and ship building throughout the 1970's. In 1969, Samsung Electronics was established producing what Samsung is most famous for, Televisions, Mobile Phones (throughout 90's), Radio's, Computer components and other electronics devices.1987 founder and chairman, Byung-Chull Lee passed away and Kun-Hee Lee took over as chairman. In the 1990's Samsung began to expand globally building factories in the US, Britain, Germany, Thailand, Mexico, Spain and China until 1997.In 1997 nearly all Korean businesses shrunk in size and Samsung was no exception. They sold businesses to relieve debt and cut employees down lowering personnel by 50,000. But thanks to the electronic industry they managed to curb this and continue to grow2.3 VISIONNOKIA:

Our vision is a world where everyone can be connected. Our vision is to ensure that 5 billion people are always connected at any given point and to achieve 100 fold more network traffic.

SAMSUNG:As stated in its new motto, Samsung Electronics' vision for the new decade is, "Inspire the World, Create the Future." This new vision reflects Samsung Electronics commitment to inspiring its communities by leveraging Samsung's three key strengths: New Technology, Innovative Products, and Creative Solutions. And to promoting new value for Samsung's core networks -- Industry, Partners, and Employees. Through these efforts, Samsung hopes to contribute to a better world and a richer experience for all.

Samsung India's Vision entails helping people improve the quality of their lives by providing them with superior quality, state-of-the-art technology products at the right time and the right price. CHAPTER 33.1 NOKIA MARKETING MIXMarketing strategy of a company in a new country plays a vital role in determining its future in that country. Knowing that Indian market is very different from other markets it was already operating in, Nokia came up with an Indiaspecific strategy or a think global act local strategy.To capture the widespread Indian market, it developed an extensive distribution network which also helped it take its products to rural markets in India. Here, to discuss the strategy, we consider the simple concept of 4 Ps, namely; product (customization), price, place (distribution) and production. PRODUCT 1998 was 51st year of Indian independence, hence Nokia provided the ring tone of National song Saare Jahan se Achha ye Hindustan Hamara in 5110 model.

The introductory offer for this model also had inter-changeable covers. The success of 5110 initiated Nokia to focus on feature-specific localization. In1999, Hindi (national language, and mother tongue of 43% Indians) user interface was provided in Nokia 3210.

Also, Nokia also tied up with Sony music for top 20 hit songs as ring tones. Nokia 3210, became an instant hit. The model 3610 was launched with an enhancing Hindi text messaging facility in 2001.

The most successful customization came in 2003 when Nokia came with 1100 and 1108 specifically designed for Indian market. It had features of anti-slip grip, dust resistance and torchlight. Since, in India people dont know English in villages; Nokia came up with Saral Mobile Sandesh (SMS in Hindi). Nokia sales increased from 58.2% in July 2003 to 59.6% in July 2004

. Nokia was also the first handset manufacturer to launch games download in India in 2003. It had spearheaded the industry in online distribution of tones, graphics and game downloads.In 2005, Nokia also launched games based on Indian mythology namely Makhan chor and Swayamvar. Another feature that Nokia came up with attract youth was one which enabled the customer to slide in his or her photograph or for that matter the loved ones,' in the picture frame behind the phone. This was a part of Nokia 2112 model (CDMA),

Wherein the message is clear-personalize your phone. Earlier they had a similar feature in GSM handset Nokia 2100. Nokia also tied up with Bharti cellular in 2005 to customize its handsets through which its users could access multimedia services by using an additional key on the mobile phone. Also since many FM channels were introduced in India in early 2000s, Nokia banked on the opportunity by coming with FM phones attracting a lot of youth. Later on in 2005, Nokia came with SMS services in other Indian languages including Marathi, Tamil, Bengali and Kannada. In November 2007, Nokia came with Bollywood classic movie Sholay preloaded in N95 8GB and N81. This gave opportunity to cinema buffs to now watch the movie Sholay on the go. The N series is a multimedia sub-brand of Nokia. As part of its strategy to connect with the young population in India, Nokia has been associating with youth passions like Cool Sports, Music, and Fashion.

In another attempt to give India handsets which will enable them to use more features, Nokia is in process of making cheap GPRS enabled handset. In this handset, the users can surf the net at a very reasonable price. Again targeting the low and middle income class, who are interested in using the new facilities available. PRICING Pricing of the phones was of prime importance for success in India. Being a developing country, the purchasing power of the people was not high as compared to other developed countries. Research unveiled that phones of lower price range (below Rs8000 or $200 approx.) amounted for 65% of the total sales in India. Nokia depended majorly on rural market; therefore, pricing was a major success factor for the company. Nokia 1100, which was specially launched for India, was priced at Rs. 4000. This price, although was at a premium as compared to entry level phones, but was enhanced with several special features which were not available in other phones of the same price. The phone is a combination of product benefits and pricing. This model further became the best selling model ever in India. It also increased the brand preference of Nokia from 66% to 77% within 9 months of its launch. This show how nature of Indian consumer is value sensitive PLACE Mobile phones in India are considered as to be consumer durable, hence they are not just sold through exclusive telecom retailers but also through general retailers. Nokia designed modelled its distribution strategy on lines of FMCG business. An important reason for the success of mobile phones in India was limited reach of the landline phones in several parts of the country. By mid 2011 the mobile phone sales in smaller towns and cities was higher than those of the metropolitans. The sales in these urban markets were beginning to saturate. The distribution in these small towns called for non-traditional channels. Nokia strengthened their distribution network, and selected distributors from FMCG line or experience holders for durables or automobiles. In fact, about a fifth of the mobile phone sales in India were consumer durables or service providers shops. Nokia tied up with HCL Infinet for sales and distribution of its phones and appointed them as Nokia distributor for GSM handsets in India.HCL also came with Nokia Care Centers (NCCs) for providing solutions to mobile related problems. These were spread all over the country and provided phone repairing software up-gradation services. They also displayed complete range mobile phones, data products and complete mobile phones accessories. Nokia kept its promise of enhancing the mobile experience of its customers. In October 2012, they launched the first 'global format' Nokia Concept Store in Western India at Indore. Nokias vast distribution network covered almost every city or town where mobile network was available.PROMOTIONNokia entered India with one for mobile services to start, and had to establish its non-popular brand. To build credentials the company used both print and television campaigns. In the early days, print media concentrated on Nokias status, global R&D and international awards won to establish brand awareness. Even after the market grew, Nokias advertisements concentrated on product attributes.Gaining acceptance of Indian consumer is not as simple as other countries. India is a multicultural country, where people have strong believe in their mythology, nationality and cultures and to add to it, their purchasing power was not as high as other countries where Nokia was operating. Hence, to achieve approval of the mobile consumers in India, Nokia decided to localize its products heavily. For the purpose of developing the products specifically for markets with high population and low penetration, Nokia developed a team called Mobile Entry Business Unit.Nokia India marked its special presence in advertisement world with Made for India ad campaign on the launch of Nokia 1100. This was the fourth advertisement created in India but created maximum stir in the industry. The advertisement showed that the Nokia 1100 was launched first in India and addressed all the concerns of Indian consumers. The advertisement made a clear deviation from hitherto hip urban-focused advertisements that Nokia are known for. It aimed at highlighting the broad appeal of mobile phones across all socio-economic segments of India. The aim was to highlight Nokias Indian image.One advertisement that Nokia made in 2000 was a public interest advertisement, urging users to switch off their cell phones while watching movies. It showed a clip where hero picks up an argument with person sitting in front row in a movie theatre. One of the advertisements was for Nokia 2280 which was offered in bundle with reliance mobile connection. This was a simple one which educated the audience of availability of cheap handset with bundled airtime.Cricket is considered a religion in India. Nokia has had a strong association with the sport through its advertisements. The enthusiast fan is frantically trying to find the score. The boy gets a message of latest score update on his Nokia mobile phone, impressing the father. The advertisement targeted the middle class youth of India. Nokia was not the market leader in colored handsets. To regain its share, it came up with advertisement Har Jeb mei Rang for Nokia 2600. It was a very colorful advertisement, showing colors spreading out of Nokia phone. It showed the idea of color spreading happiness in every life.Nokia followed model-specific advertising for most part. Different advertisements were made for each model of Nokia, making it easy to target the specific audience, which will demand that model. Even different media was used according to the audience. Nokia even faced the problem of brand identification in the early stages as there were no specific signs suggesting that it was an advertisement from Nokia. Since 2012, Nokia has embarked a new advertising plan to consolidate its ad campaigns and strengthen its brand identity.3.2 MERKETING MIX OF SAMSUNGToday, the mobile hanset of Samsung has presented all over the world, from the large market like US, Europe and Japan to the small market like Vietnam. At anywhere, Samsung always get the large market share. To achieve that success, they have used the marketing mix effectively.PRODUCT Samsung provide wide range of handset. In 1993 Samsung developed the 'lightest' mobile phone of its era.

The SCH-800 and it was available on CDMA networks.Samsung has made steady growth in the mobile industry and are currently second but competitor Nokia is ahead with more than 100% increase in shares.

Samsungs other handset are like other.PRICESamsung has offer many products with different prices, from high to low, to attract any kind of customer, from high income to average income. PLACEThe major channels that Samsung uses are agents, the places can display and sell product directly. With Todays developing, e-commerce has becoming popular, so retailers have used a lot of websites to sell their product. PROMOTIONPromotion tools that Samsung often uses are catalogs, samples, film, slide film, fairs and trade shows and other documents, instruments at point of sale. The Target of catalog that must be achieved: Samsungs catalogs always create interest and attract readers such as beautiful colors, good printing, and easy to understand. Besides the catalogs, Samples also create the chance for customers understand and avoid the confusion about color or sizes of products. For the small and low value sample, Samsung gifts to the customers through post offices, sales agents and sale personal. Magazine issued by SamsungSelf-magazines by its editor published information about the activities of Samsung for internal company and customers to know the success of dealers, distributors, marketing ideas, news of Samsung and the result of the contests with prizes.Exhibitions

The Samsung brands provide their handset for customer to take a demo of it and have a convenient use for the same. These are provided to customers at the mobile shops, like hot spot, the mobile store, croma, etc. Public Relations:Samsung has always regarded that this is an opportunity to create a good image of the entire operations of Samsung through newspaper and other activities that in theory, Samsung does not have to pay ads.Advertising:When conducting an advertising program, Samsung has always set up the five requirements for the marketing staffSamsungs advertising content is always based on the principles of AIDAA: get ATTENTION (attract attention)I: hold INTEREST (make fun)D: create DESIRE (create the desire)A: lead to ACTION (action leading to a purchase)Personal SellingSamsung offered the effective marketing through people. The success or failure depends on the preparation of personnel. To Samsung, the method is based on many documents and data that the sales representatives always bring to answer quickly the questions from customers. These staff has trained very carefully.3.3 SWOT ANALYSIS OF NOKIAThere are various tools which can be employed to understand the effectiveness of a companys strategies. SWOT Analysis outlines the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats facing the operating strategy of a company. Analyzing the effectiveness of strategies, strength and weaknesses can be defined as internal to an organisation. The businesses do not necessarily have to correct all its weaknesses however; it should be able to retain its strengths. The key success factor for operating in the targeted market depends on the external factor. I.e. Opportunity. Nokia has numerable opportunities to enlarge its market share, however, they could be faced with a threat which could be challenge posed by an unfavourable trend or development that may lead into absence of defensive marketing action and thus diminish sales and profit.STRENGTHS Global Products and Image Nokia is a global company. It not only sells its products to 130 countries but also sets up research and development departments in fifteen countries to produce its products in different culture and language needs,e.g English, Dutch, German and Chinese. High Quality Products Nokia concerns about product quality which is the most important factor to satisfy customers needs. Nokia adds more values by superior quality or differentiated features to the market. Meanwhile, it also continuously improves upon the existent markets. Serving new designs and trends Nokia launched a wireless game which by use of SMS, TV, print media, radio and internet provides clues to help players to solve a mystery. This helps Nokia to attract customers to use its products. Wide range of products Nokia has the highest number of product line (more than 10 models) compared to its competitors Samsung, Ericsson, Motorola etc. Product Warrantee Worldwide No matter where Nokias customers are, if they got a problem with their mobile phones, they can approach any of the Nokias centres. Thus, ensuring a good customer serviceWEAKNESSES High Price Nokia offers a good range of high quality products at high prices Though the high prices may be justified in terms of the costs to the company but this can act as a weakness in certain sections of the market e.g the middle-low income group people. Demand is skyrocketing but the price pressure is high. New product developing problems Although Nokia provided dual sim mobile phones in September 2011, this was late as compared with its competitors such as Samsung and Sony Ericsson. This acted as a weakness as the people had already accepted the range introduced in the market and didnt want to switch.OPPORTUNITIES Joint venture in Technology Nokia has joined with Hewlett Packard (HP) Company in technology which has a very good reputation for many years. Nokia thus, has a considerable opportunity to enlarge their market size into PC users who prefer mobile phones compatible with PC device. Product launch continuously - Nokia uses Total Quality Management (TQM) which mentions more about training worker program, and makes product of high quality. All employees are well-trained and motivated and consecutively production processes are also developed as well. Nokia has established Research and Development department which develops its product line into modern modification as well quality as the existing products. New Software Market It can use the O.S of Android version. As known, the amount of data traffic in mobile networks is growing at a tremendous rate. People around the world are using new mobile services, which are directly relevant to personal needs. Nokia has already added value through MMS for Messaging and E-mail, Java for download any applications and HTML especially for content search. So it may attract those businessmen and teenagers who are interested in the new software market. Easy Availability - Many mobile phone retail stores have spread across India in every street. And, of course, every store have not missed the opportunity to choose Nokia as their product line. Consequently, all the customers can be guaranteed that any damage or loss of Mobile phone will be serviced through these retail shops. THREATS

Threats in Mobile Phone Markets nokia any way not using the android as operating system as compared to other competitor.

Threats in PC Markets - Due to fierce competition in mobile phone market it has caused new technology compatible with PC computer. Sony Ericsson specializes on PC computer now. Sony applied their computer system into mobile phone as well as PC computer on hand at the same time. Furthermore, nowadays people are interested in advance of computer as similar as mobile phone market. In this sharp competition, it is going to be harder for Nokia to grasp customers attention and they will have to focus on outstanding imagination and creativity in their marketing plans. Fluctuations in Euro exchange rates Most of the European countries have joined the European Union and thus because of the varied economic conditions, the currency will fluctuate a lot finally effecting the profits of the company. Blurring of product boundaries This implies new entrants in the same industry like Samsung, Sony, Motorola etc. who are producing almost the same product range as Nokia and thus, there is a need to change their models.3.4 SWOT ANALYSIS SAMSUNG

STRENGTHS New products concept to roll out Catching the pulse of customer, offering good design and understanding emotion. Heavy investment in technology, product design and human resources. Focus on innovative products for the high-end market. Steady growth in core semiconductor, mobile phone, LCD panel and TV businesses WEAKNESS Lack of product differentiation Focus on mass market instead of niche market Not very user friendly design OPPORTUNITIES Strong demand in 2012 due to economic recovery, emerging market and sporting events Upgrade enterprise wide risk management system to enhance ability to monitor and address risk in a timely manner Leverage cost leadership to be the top of global name in every segment of consumer electronics from TV to mobile phones. Extend market leadership in components such as semiconductor and LCD panels with cutting-edge technology and solutions. Laying foundation for success key growth field such as printers, notebook PCs, and system air conditioners, bolstering our global capabilities by extending our B2B distribution channels, differentiating products through design. THREATS Aggressive competitors including Apple, Nokia, Sony, Motorola eating Samsung market share. Not keeping track of the new trends in the market. Samsung faced intense competition in the color TV market Chinese product competition in Vietnam is raising bigger. 3.5 ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS STRATEGY OF SAMSUNG AND NOKIA Nokias business is in manufacturing and retailing for mobile phones. It produces the mobile phones by using the companys technology. After manufacturing, the product will be distributed and ready to be sold in the market regardless to other retailers or its own Nokia stores. Unlike Samsung, Samsungs business initially was focused on trade export. Then after a decade, it has its own manufacture and sales operations, now has evolved to become the modern global corporation. Until currently, Samsung has different component business such as semiconductor, LCD panel, telecommunication and storage. While, Samsung has advantage of diversified products compared to Nokia only capitalized its resources in mobile phone industry by positioning itself to produce durable and user-friendly products. Business strategy is aggregate strategies of a firm where firm formulates and incorporates in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantages and long-term success. Nokia and Samsung compete in using very different strategies where Nokia stress on creating solution with strong focus on social location while Samsung focus in gathering brightest talent for better innovative products. Nokias strategy is to create various types of outstanding devices, with geographic advantage. It couples the devices with smart services, integrated via an intuitive and seamless user experience. On the other hand, strategy business of Samsung is to follow a simple business philosophy: to devote our talent and technology to create superior products and services that contribute to a better global society. As result of those products from memory chips that store vital knowledge and memories to mobile phones that connect people. Samsung also has a rigorous code of conduct: People, Excellence, Change, Integrity, Co-prosperity, that guides every decision they make. For the term of investor relation, is a strategic management responsibility that enable effective two-way communication by integrates finance, communicate, marketing and securities law compliance between a company, the financial community, and other constituencies, which help company to achieve fair valuation.Performances of a company show the capacity to earn profit, which will attract investors to invest and pump the company funds and capital inflow. Performances for first quarter 2012, Nokia had sold 110million units of mobile phones which were 35% of the market share whereas Samsung had sold 64million units of mobile phones which were 20% of the market share. From these strong market shares result, Nokia is better able to attract more investor for what they had done compared to Samsung. For the matter of facts that Nokia and Samsung make a great public relations as they make contribution to save the environment by providing eco-friendly products. Nokia adopts environmental strategy which aims to minimize the environmental impact of its products throughout the operations, beginning with the extraction of raw materials and ending with recycling, treatment of waste, and recovery of used materials. Nokia achieves this by better product design, close control of the production process, and greater material reuse. Comparatively, Samsungs Planet First is a commitment and mindset that mean to consider its impact on environment at the first place while Samsung is working and developing its innovative products as Samsung believes it has the responsibility to do business in a way that enriches earth planets. Furthermore, Nokias employees are giving practices to meet recognized internationals standards. Nokia Company also provides safety and healthy working conditions for the employees and promotes wellbeing at work. Similarly, as part of Samsungs employees, will be given training to develop their talent and enrich their career path. These show both company are responsible and caring to society irrespective of environment or worker.3.6 SAMSUNG STRATEGIC SUCCESSOne can analyze the secrets behind how a Korean Company got an edge over the US and Asian giants to triumph as the global leader in mobile communications.Bold Strategic IntentWhile others debate and worry over first mover strategies, Samsung rushes for new opportunities and products. Growing up as a small Korean Company with few resources and no incumbent privileges, Samsung is accustomed to moving swiftly and decisively to claim its share of worldwide markets- from infrastructure to handsets and software applications.Innovation through Value ChainThrough technology, innovation and segmentation, branding and design, Samsung makes innovation a top priority. Like Proctor & Gamble, it has shrewdly filled the shelves with innovative new products to dominate categories. Like Sony, it has used its umbrella brand to sell new products and services and to create footholds in new markets. Unlike its direct rivals (Nokia, Ericsson), Samsung innovation extends from technology innovation to marketing activities.Flat OrganizationPrior to its worldwide expansion, Samsung extended the use of IT throughout the company. As it became a process organization, it has shunned hierarchies and bureaucracy. Even the senior executives have been rotated from one work task to another. The organization chart looks hierarchic but teams and networking reigns.Entrepreneurial SpiritLike the best startups, Samsung encourages entrepreneurialism throughout the ranks and views failure as a learning experience. Incentives, rewards and lifelong learning permeate the entire company. Humility is taken seriously at Samsung as in the technology sector; the arrogant of today are considered losers of tomorrow.ollective leadershipSamsung relies on its executive board, with each member bringing something uniqueGlobal R & D NetworksSamsung R&D efforts reflect extensive collaboration with vital research institutions worldwide. The company invests less in technology development than its rivals, but often exploits new knowledge more efficiently. Through technology coalitions it has managed to internalize new know-how while neutralizing competitive threats.Competition and Co-operationBy managing its corporate and government relations with diplomacy and consideration, Samsung has been able to avoid high profile and costly anti-trust actions and competition policy struggles. Instead of trying to buy or crush potential rivals, Nokia works to cooperate with suppliers, partners, clients, even direct competitors.Customer FocusThe most enduring factor is Samsung ability and willingness to listen to the customer a fact apparent in its strategy, structure and resource allocation and also in its products and services. Due to its foresight, Nokia can not only finger at the pulse of the market it often knows what the customer wants even if the customer is not yet aware of this.CHAPTER 44.1 RESEARCH OBJECTIVERESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Is to find out which company has a greater market share in India. To know the mobile market leader in india. To know the business strategy of the Samsung. To know the strength of Samsung and weakness of nokia. To know why the market share of nokia comes down. And market share of the Samsung goes up rapidly.DEVELOPING THE RESEARCH PLANThe second step of marketing research process calls for developing the most efficient plan for gathering the need information. While designing a research plan we have to take decisions regarding data sources, search approached, search instruments, sampling etc. there are two plan contact which are as follows:-PRIMARY DATA: Personal interviews are conducted which enable collection of oral verbal response. This is fact to face contracted with structured or sometime even unstructured patterns. This helps in obtaining indent information.SECONDARY DATA:Secondary data can be obtained from different magazines and annual reports, financial documents referred.RESEARCH APPROACHSURVEY METHOD:-Survey are best suited for descriptive research companies which undertake surveys to learn about peoples knowledge, preferences, satisfaction etc. to measure these magnitude in general population. While observation and tours are best suited for exploratory research which is not the case of our studyRESEARCH INSTRUMENTQuestionnaire: A Questionnaire is prepared and use to collect the information. The majority of questions are close ended. Questionnaire is distributed to people to know about their preferences, quality, demand etc. this is one of the easiest method of collecting information.SAMPLING PLANAfter deciding on the research approach and instrument, we must design a sampling plan. This plan calls for three decisions. Sampling unit: - Here we define what is to be surveyed i.e. the target population that will be sampled. In our case the journal public in cities & towns come under the sampling unit. Sample size: - Large sample give more reliable results. In our study 100 customers were surveyed in Mumbai. Sampling Procedure:- area sampling is using because it is not practically possible to visit all places of India therefore Mumbai chosen for survey.CONTACT METHODIn this decision is taken that how the object should be contacted i.e. whether by mail questionnaires, telephone, interviews. In our research personal interview is the most convenient and reliable method.COLLECTION OF THE INFORMATIONThe data collection phase of the marketing research is most expensive and most error prone process. There can be error some respondent can give biased or dishonest answer from collection of information. The researcher personally goes to customer to collect the reliable data. Here all knowledge of the researcher about that field comes to test the ingenuity of the research. Here we got the experience of working professionally and independently on the road which gives some taste of practical marketing. We also got a lot exposure about the market. The present study undertake is descriptive in nature and in this study questioning people with regular expertise in that are being used.LIMITATIONS OF RESEARCH:-Every study, no matter how well it is conducted, has some limitations. This is why it does not seem reasonable to use the words "prove" and "disprove" with respect to research findings. It is always possible that future research may cast doubt on the validity of any hypothesis or the conclusions from a study.The research was subjected to following limitations:- The survey cannot be termed 100% accurate due to lack of time. The lack of candidates of respondent towards answering the Questionnaire in few cases may have reduced the accuracy of survey to some extent. There is more measure to check out whether the information provided by the consumer is correct or not.4.2 ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATIONWHICH MODEL IS BEST?AnswerNo: of people

CHAPTER 55.1 CONCULSIONIn order to achieve objectives and resolve crises, Nokia and Samsung must be carefully in their decision making for the recent development and future plan. Nokia and Samsung both are facing Apple, Android and emerging threats from new smart phone platforms like Windows Phone 7, so in order to make the product be competitive in the market, they must upgrade their products level. Recent development for Nokia, it decides to boost the application development. This action is to ensure that applications will continue to be compatible with future evolutions of Symbian. Meanwhile for the recent development of Samsung is the official launch of Theme support services in Samsung Mobile Innovator on 13th Oct, 2012. Besides that, Samsung Mobile Innovator also terminates the support for Symbian. Samsung also develop online store-Samsung Apps website, where consumer can download musics, games or applications for free or a price. Furthermore, Nokias future plans will still focus on the research and development of mobile phone. The company future outcomes are not smart phones, not converged devices, but devices that intended to replace both PCs and mobile phones. On the other hand, Samsungs mobile future plan is to focus in developing its own OS for mobile phone which is Samsung Bada. As for they focus in developing in its own Bada OS and Samsung apps, its showing Samsung will make itself independent from others. In contrast, Nokia stress in provide full-on mobile computers in future while Samsung focus in provide better mobile, OS and variety of applications in future.In conclusion, Samsung has more variety mobile phones as compared to Nokia; it gains advantages in marketing the products to greater area of consumer market to meet their needs.
