TRANSCRIPT
IntroductionTELECOM SECTOR AN OVERVIEW
The $8 billion telecommunications sectors in India have undergone a major
transformation in the past couple of decades. From a complete monopoly of the public
sector, the telecom industry has witnessed the breaking down of monopolies and
significant policy reforms, favoring the entry of private players. The private sector has
been allowed to make a foray not only into value added services, such as cellular and
paging services, but also the basic telephony services.
Reforms have taken place in the telecom sector in three phases. The first phase began in the 1980s when in 1984; private manufacturing of customer premise equipment was given the go- ahead. Proliferation of individual STD/ISD/PCO network took place through out the country by way of private individuals franchisees. Also, two large corporate entities, the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.(BSNL) were created out of the department of telecommunications (DOT) to handle the sectors of Mumbai and Delhi respectively. A high- powered telecom commission was set up in 1989 and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (VSNL) was made the international service provider catering to all telecom services originating from India.
The second phase of reforms in the telecom sector commenced in 1991 with the announcement of the new economic policy. To begin with the manufacturing of telecom equipment was delicensed in 1991, while radio paging services opened up in the 1992. In 1994, the basic telephony sector was opened up by providing licenses to six companies to operate in the basic areas.
1
These Companies were: Bharti Telenet, Vodafone, MTS,Hughes Telecom,
Tata Teleservices and Reliance Telecom.
The National Telecom Policy in 1994 emphasized on Universal Services and Qualitative
Improvement in telecom services. While an independent statutory regulatory was
established in 1997, the Internet services were opened up in 1998. Since then, more
companies have been given the go-ahead to basic telephony, such as Reliance, Tatas,
HFCL, Bharati, Aircel, Digilink and Birla AT&T.
The third phase of reforms in the telecom sector began in the late 1990s, with the
announcement of the New Telecom Policy in 1999. The underlying theme of the reform
process of NTP was to usher in full competition through unrestricted entry of private
players in all service sectors. The policy favored the migration of existing operators from
the era of fixed license fee regime to that of revenue sharing. The duopoly rights of the
MTNL and VSNL (VSNLs monopoly ended in April 2002 when the sector was thrown
open to the private sector) were discontinued to herald the era of unlimited competition in
the industry.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
19
Critical Incident Score
The basis of this method is the principle that there are certain significant acts in each
employee’s behavior and performance, which makes all the difference between success
and failure on the job.
The supervisor keeps a written record of the events (either good or bad). Feedback is
provided about the incidents during the performance review session. Various behaviors
are recorded under such categories as the type of job, requirement for employees,
judgment, learning ability; several research studies are undertaken and accomplished year
after year but in most cases very little attention is paid to this important dimension
relating to research.
Research design is a model of master plan for gathering formal information. It calls for
certain specification of methods and procedures for obtaining the required information.
Marketing Research Project is defined as either EXPLORATORY RESEARCH or
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH depending upon the objectives of the study.
20
The object of the Exploratory is to seek new ideas and to discover new relationship
between different set of factors in a way that will permit statement of specific hypothesis.
To find out this hypothesis, study of secondary sources of information, survey of
knowledgeable person or case studies are conducted.
Descriptive research describes situation and provides information, which helps in
decision-making. Such research requires a formal design, which helps the researcher to
identify cause and affect relationship.
This can be done by case statistical study and experimentation. The present research is a
descriptive research, as it wants to find out effectiveness of present performance appraisal
system. The information has been gathered from survey of sample people selection from
the company.
COLLECTION OF DATA
21
Data collection is an integral part of the marketing research. There are several ways of
collecting the appropriate data, which differ considerably in context of money costs, time
and other resources at the disposal of the researcher. The researcher should keep in mind
two types of data viz. Primary and Secondary.
The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happen to be original in character.
Primary Data is collected through:
Questionnaire- in which division of questions are as follows:
(a) No. of close ended questions -9
(b) No. of open ended questions-3
Observation
Unsturctured interviews
The secondary data are those, which have already been collected by some one else like
various journals and publications of the company and that are used for quick compilation
of the report.
Both the methods were used for the compilation of the project.
22
Sampling
Method: Simple Random Sampling
Area: Circle Office in Jaipur and also other offices in
Jaipur of Reliance.
Unit: Employees of Reliance communications in circle
office.
Sample size: 100 employees
Research tool: Questionnaire.

INTRODUCTION OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance Appraisal is the systematic evaluation of individual with respects to his/
her performance on the job and his potential for development. The performance being
measured against such factors as job knowledge, quality and quantity of output, initiative,
leadership abilities, supervision, dependability co-operation, judgment, versatility, health
26
and the like. Assessment should not be confined to past performance alone. Potential of
the employee for future performance must also be assessed.
A Performance Appraisal “is a formal structured system of measuring and evaluating an employee’s job, related behavior and outcomes to discover how and why the employee is presently performing on the job and how the employee can perform more effectively in the future so that the employee, organization and society all benefits.”
IMPORTANCE AND PURPOSESPerformance appraisal is considered to be most significant and indispensable tool for an
organization for the information it provides is highly useful in making decision:
1. Regarding various personal aspects such as promotions, salary increase, transfers,
demotion and termination.
2. They are means of telling a subordinate hoe he is doing, suggesting needed
changes in his behavior, attitudes, skills or job knowledge.
3. The superior uses them as a base for coaching and counseling the individual
27
PERFORMANCE PLANNING PROCESS
28
APPRAISAL FORMAT In order to achieve these objectives the appraisal format should have the following
components: -
Key Result Area (KRAs): 1. KRAs are measures that are linked to business strategy and are cascaded from the
business KRAs. KRAs are divided into six (6) broad measurement dimensions which
29
are Financial, Customer, Innovation/Internal Process, Projects, Employee Learning
and Development and Societal. Every employee need not have KRAs in each of these
measurement dimensions
2. Each KRA would have a specific target. The target quantifies or verifies the extent of
achievement in a given time frame
Individual Contribution Areas (ICAs): 1. The ICAs capture the key impact areas
of the employee’s efforts which are not captured through KRAs.
They have been divided into three broad categories:- Learning &
Growth, Special Projects and Other Job Responsibilities.
2. These are quantitative and/or qualitative measures which are defined through
conversation between employee and the manager.
3. At the end of the year, evaluation on the ICAs is captured through the multirater
feedback system.
Core Responsibilities(CRs):
1. Core responsibilities are significant ongoing task or outcomes based on day to day
work and are part of the job responsibilities.
30
2. No pre determined targets are set for the core responsibilities in the performance
planning phase.

What is the Balanced Scorecard????
A new approach to strategic management was developed in the early 1990's by Drs. Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton. They named this system the 'balanced scorecard'. Recognizing some of the weaknesses and vagueness of previous management approaches, the balanced scorecard approach provides a clear prescription as to what companies should measure in order to 'balance' the financial perspective.
The balanced scorecard is a management system (not only a measurement system) that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action. It provides feedback around both the internal business processes and external outcomes in order to continuously improve strategic performance and results. When fully deployed, the balanced scorecard transforms strategic planning from an academic exercise into the nerve center of an enterprise.
Kaplan and Norton describe the innovation of the balanced scorecard as follows:
"The balanced scorecard retains traditional financial measures. But financial measures tell the story of past events, an adequate story for industrial age companies for which investments in long-term capabilities and customer relationships were not critical for success. These financial measures are inadequate, however, for guiding and evaluating the journey that information age companies must make to create future value through investment in customers, suppliers, employees, technology and innovations.”
The balanced scorecard suggests that we view the organization from four perspectives, and to develop metrics, collect data and analyze it relative to each of these perspectives:
The Learning and Growth Perspective
The Business Process Perspective
The Customer Perspective
38
The Financial Perspective
Balanced Scorecard Flowchart
39
OVERALL PROCESS OF BALANCED SCORECARD:-
The process consists of seven steps over three phases:
Phase 1:- The Strategic Foundation
40
Step 1: Communicate and align the organization around a clear and concise strategy. This is the fundamental starting point behind everything else. Your strategy is what “feeds” the Balanced Scorecard.
Step 2: Determine the major strategic areas or scope for getting the organization focused on those things the organization can actually do.
Step 3: Build a strategic grid for each major strategic areas of the business.
Phase 2:- Three Critical Components
Step 4: For each strategic objective on each strategic grid, there needs to be at least one measurement. Measurement provides the feedback on whether or not we are meeting our strategic objectives.
Step 5: Set targets for each measurement: For each measurement in your Scorecard, establish a corresponding target.
Step 6: Launch programs: Things will not happen unless the organization undertakes formal programs, initiates or projects.
Phase 3: - Deployment Step 7: Once the balanced Scorecard has been built, you need to push the entire process into other pats of the organization until you construct a single coherent management system.
CASCADE GOALS Cascade refers to the process of aligning organizational
goals to individual goals in a series of steps.
41
Cascading of goals ensures that all efforts within the
organization are focused towards a common organization
wide goal.
Cascade of goals from organization to business & functional level
Cascade of goals to Individuals Scorecards:The process of drawing out individuals KRAs happens in the following manner:-
42
Alignment of Goals and Targets:-
Vertically – Do the goals of the individual align with the goals of
the department division and organization?
Horizontally – Do the targets for the sum of the individuals add
together to achieve the target of the department?
43
Developing Action Plan
Once the goals have been determined and agreed upon by the manager, initiatives to support the goal can be identified.
44
PHASE-2INTERIM REVIEW
Benefits of Interim Review:- Allows provision of performance plan, if required
- Highlights areas of inputs, guidance, support required by appraisee
- Allows appraiser to give feedback & create coaching plan, if required
- Allows documenting feedback for final year and discussion & evaluation
Interim Review Process:
Quarterly Reviews- July & January
- Interactive feedback session between manager and employees
- Does not result in a performance score
- Feedback is documented during each review session and
discussed at the year end evaluation
Mid Year Review- October
- Provision for mid courses revision to Performance
plan in case of extraneous circumstances

Study of appraisal system
For the study of performance management system in Reliance a questionnaire was prepared.The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions with the combination of both close ended and open ended questions. The questionnaire was designed to know the effectiveness of PMS. It helped us to know the views of the employees regarding PMS in Reliance.
INTERPRETATION
52
1) Rating of understanding of PMS:
Only 17% were aware that it is to basically check the deviation of actuals from the standard. Mostly the employees were of the opinion that it is for the career growth as well promotions and incentives. As every appraisal is followed by some kind incentive thus maximum employees relate it to only incentives and thus growth.
2) Rating of formal discussion of performance with line manager
53
How often does your team leader or line manager formally discuss your performance with you?
15%
48%
32%
5%
Quarterly
Half yearly
Only at time of appraisal
Never
The graph clearly indicates that 48% employees were of the opinion that their team leaders discuss their performance at least half yearly. This shows a positive sign on the relationship of the two. Discussing the performance would help the employee or trainee improve on his /her weak areas and thus increase their working efficiencies.
3) Rating of understanding of KRAs
When asked from the employees about the understanding of the KRAs on which the entire performance appraisal of the organization is judged,64% of the employees were aware of it.This clearly indicates that the organization puts an extra effort on the
54
performance appraisal of each and every employee. The KRAs are well defined to the employees and also the guidelines are already explained to the appraise as well as appraiser by the HR.
4) Rating of KRAs being realistic
RECOMMENDATIONS
One basic reason to ask this question was put up under study wasto analyse and see whether the employees are satisfied with the work assigned to them. It is very important to enjoy your work,and to also know from the employees that the KRAs set for them,are infact realistic according to them or not. This pie chart depicts the degree of the truth of this statement.27% employees felt that they do the work and are able to achieve the targets on time,i.e they believed that the KRAs set for them are realistic and achievable.36% also agreed to the same statement but with a less magnitude, while 23% felt that there is still a room for improvement and that the KRAs can be more realistic and
rest were not at all satisfied with the kind of work given to them as they said that they belong to some other field and are given the work of some other field.
55
5) Rating of KRAs being quantified
This shows that 27% of the respondents strongly agreed to the
statement. They thought that their key responsibili ty areas are properly
and timely quantified. Another 36% people thought the same.23%
workforce under study thought that there might be some amendment in
the quantification of the KRAs.The 14% were the same who did not find
their KRAs realistic. More or less I received a posit ive response, even
though the organization must find ways to convert the opinion of rest
employees.
56
6 (a) Rating of Training opportunity as benefit of PMS
On asking from the employees which of the following you think is the best benefit of the PMS,only 14% found training as the benefit of PMS and 23% also somewhat greed to it,but the major number of employees did not find training as the benefit of PMS.This clearly reflects that there are comparatively less training opportunities for the employees.
6(b) Rating of promotion as benefit of PMS
57
On asking for promotion as the benefit of PMS 38% strongly agreed to it and 27% also agreed to it but with a different opinion. Thus, major number of employees believes that if they perform well then there are better chances of promotion as well as growth for them .
6(c) Rating of incentives as benefit of PMS
Similarly on asking for incentives as the benefit of PMS major number of employees agreed to it and believed that PMS is directly linked to their performance and the better they perform better is the incentive made for them. Thus they knew it that it is very important to perform their job well and complete their KRAs in time as well efficiently and effectively.
Thus for the above question we can very well conclude that employees are more concerned about their incentives and are very well aware of the fact that it is only their best performance that will fetch them growth in terms of both monetary as well career.
58
7(a) Rating of influence of PMS on Productivity

On asking from the employees about the influence of PMS on certain factors, mostly the employees were of the opinion that PMS influences their efficiency as well as effectiveness the most. They believed that through appraisal they come to know their strong area as well as their weak area after appraisal they have the clear picture of where they are performing well and also where they need to improve and devote more efforts to make their performance up to the mark. This section got the highest percentage with 23%strongly agree and 38% agree. Similarly second highest score was of career development with 12% strongly agree and 32% agree. Thus we can conclude that employees are well aware that it is the PMS only that provides ample opportunity to them to give their best performance and prepare a room for rewards.
8) Rating of satisfaction on performance linked incentives
The pie chart clearly depicts that maximum no. of employees are satisfied with the performance linked incentive that they receive after their appraisal.62% employees were of the opinion that the PLI they receive is justified by their superiors.

9) Rating of fairness of performance appraisal
“This is the most trickey of all the questions in the questionnaire”, was quoted as saying by one of the officials. Most of the respondents agreed to the fact that the current PMS is free from any kind of bias. This statement finds support from the fact that 58% of the employees agreed to the fact that the PMS is a very stringent process and takes into account the actual performance of the employee and identifies KRA and manages the performance planning in an unbiased manner. But there are 13% of the people who believe that the current system of managing performance has loopholes and is biased towards certain employees.

suggestions
1 .A system of psychological appraisal can be introduced where psychologists are used to specifically assess an individual's future potential. The appraisal normally consists of in depth interviews, psychological tests, discussions with supervisors and a review of other evaluations. The psychologist then writes and evaluation of the employee's intellectual, emotional, motivational and other work related characteristics that suggest individual potential, This will make the potential appraisal more specific and a reliable date source for making employee's promotion decisions and future development.
2. The counseling sessions are conducted and the reporting officer obtains the signature of the ratee after the session but a post appraisal interview report, handwritten may be introduced. The report may consist of-
(a) Main points conveyed by the superior.
(b) Reactions of the employees appraised.
(c) Summary of the agreed programme.
(d) Finally the date of post appraisal interview and signatures of both the employee and the reporting officer
3. Team appraisal. Along with the individual appraisal there can be team appraisal also. In this focus should be on the achievement of the team as a whole. The team should be appraised on the basis of the contribution to the organization goal. The ratings should be given team wise and then it should be compared with other teams. The team which gets the highest rating can be declared as ‘The Best Team of the Year’.This will not only improve the team efficiency but also will motivate other teams to improve and achieve. The team which turns out to be the best should not only be given monetary benefits but also an award for the entire team. With the consent of the team members an exclusive award can also be given to the team member whom they think is the key contributor to their achievement.

4. It has been seen that individuals who are rated as “outstanding” receive a substantially high amount of increment and a promotion is awarded in recognition to their excellent performance. In addition to this, a system of awarding certificates and memento/ shields to outstanding employees on a particular day fixed for this purpose may also be introduced.
Such a system would increase a sense of recognition and achievement in the outstanding raters and would also help in motivating other employees. The day may be designated as “Outstanding Achievers” day the awards may be given away to all the outstanding raters by the president in the presence of the other employees gathered for this purpose. In this not only the performer of the winning team should be included but also those employees who have been very good performers throughout year irrespective of their team’s
performance. 5. EFFECTIVE COUNSELING“Counseling is a means and not an end in itself”, this should be well included in one’s mind. Development does not occur just because there is counseling could be used as an effective instrument in helping people integrates with their organization and have a sense of involvement and satisfaction.
There should exist a dialogic relationship in goal setting and performance review. With such a collaborative effort, counseling effort, counseling can result in more objective results.
More emphasis should be pondered on;
• General climate of openness and mutuality.
• Empathic attitude of management.
• Sense of uninhibited participation by the subordinates in
the performance review process.
64
• Focus on work oriented behavior and work related problems.
6. PERIODIC THERAPY SESSIONPeriodic psychotherapy sessions can be conducted for assessing the employees' emotional, intellectual motivational and other work related problems if any. This will help removing their problems and work more efficiently psychotherapy can be given through interviews, questionnaires, case study method, etc. The work in itself never ceases at mere assessing task but a proper planned action and feedback programme are rather most important of all. This psychotherapy session will also help in including a feeling of consideration of the company towards its employees.

Conclusion
Upon analyzing each dimensions of the questions under study, following are the conclusions drawn:
Questions 1-2 reflect about the understanding of PMS among employees which shows that most of them relate it with their career growth. Similarly for the 2nd question it is concluded that mostly the performance is discussed formally with line managers only half yearly.
Questions 3-5 are basically on KRAs which is the major cause of appraisals. It reflects the positive responses of employees as they are well aware of their KRAs and also find them not only realistic and achievable but quantified too. Thus we can conclude that the KRAs set are realistic and achievable.
It is also observed that the employees relate PMS basically with the incentives and then promotions as well as trainings. Thus it is important that after the appraisal low performers should also be asked for the kind of training they require and then provide them with it, as training plays an essential role in improving performance.
Mostly employees also understand that appraisal basically results in improved efficiency as they are then aware of their strong and weak areas which also results in their career development.
It is found that the satisfaction level of employees regarding their incentives as well as the fairness in PMS of their organization is really high and thus, very positive for the organization as their employees are well content with it.

SWOT ANALYISSWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction and serves as a basis for the development of marketing plans. It accomplishes this by assessing an organizations strengths (what an organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an organization) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an organization). SWOT analysis is an important step in planning and its value is often underestimated despite the simplicity in creation. The role of SWOT analysis is to take the information from the environmental analysis and separate it into internal issues (strengths and weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis determines if the information indicates something that will assist the firm in accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity
This checklist is for those carrying out, or participating in, SWOT analysis. It is a simple, popular technique which can be used in preparing or amending plans, in problem solving and decision making.
Illustrative diagram of SWOT analysis If SWOT analysis does not start with defining a desired end state or objective, it runs the risk of being useless. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. An example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-driven SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, including SWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the Subject of much research.
SWOT analysis can be used for all sorts of decision-making, and the SWOT template enables proactive thinking, rather than relying on habitual or instinctive reactions.
The SWOT analysis template is normally presented as a grid, comprising four sections, one for each of the SWOT headings: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The free SWOT template below includes sample questions, whose answers are inserted into the relevant section of the SWOT grid. The questions are examples, or discussion points, and obviously can be altered depending on the subject of the SWOT analysis. Note that many of the SWOT questions are also talking points for other headings - use them as you find most helpful, and make up your own to suit the issue being analyzed. It is important to clearly identify the subject of a SWOT analysis, because a SWOT analysis is a perspective of one thing, be it a company, a product, a proposition, and idea, a method, or option, etc.
