Market Survey for a new
product launch2
In an ever prospering middle class
there is a perpetual need to new
products and product categories.
Confectioneries and beverage
unheard of ten year ago, are now a
standard part of our dietary plans.
There are studies on the changingdemographics of the decision maker
in a typical household purchase

Any company looking for additional
revenue streams keeps on
launching new products. The
student has to do a survey to
identify the need/gap in some
category and suggest a newproduct to be launched in it.

any and analyze how their needs
are different from the players in
more competitive product/service
categories.
Consumer perception aboutthe
company/product/organi
zation
The consumer perception about a
company is a very important factor
in the success or failure of any
company. Companies spend a
fortune to create a good perception.
Thus, it is very necessary for anycompany to know how the
consumer perceives it.
This study shall focus on the various
aspect of consumer perception
ranging from brand recall to brand
equity and the general opinion of
people even if they are not
customers right now (potential
customers or influencers )
Trend analysis of sales
during different times of
years
Many products have a cyclical
demand, peaking at some peculiar
time of the year. If a company is
able to predict the trend correctly
and timely, they can make good use
of this data. The inventory
management, staff management
and also the promotions can be
varied according to the trend.
The student shall study the cycles
and trends for the product in

maximize the revenues by making
use of this data. The student should
draw results from both past and
present data.

products
The positioning of any productdefines the marketing campaign it
has to follow, its budget, the price
of the product and a lot of ancillary
activities. Thus, the positioning of
the product is a very important
decision the company has to take.
Many a time it so happens that the
company does not know the correct
positioning it has in the minds ofthe consumers. This leads to a
mismatch in the actual and the
appropriate efforts done by the
company.
As a part of this study, the student
is required to evaluate the

positioning of the companys
product and judge that whether it is
a correct positioning or should the
company rework its plans for the
positioning.
Finance
Working capital
management at the
organization
Companys big chunk of funds
usually gets stuck in working
capital. In order to run the business
smoothly business needs the
appropriate amount of working
capital. But working capital at any
time should not be more/less than
the requirement of the company.
Appropriate amount of working
capital needs to be maintained.
Working capital has three major
derivers: Cash
Receivables
Payables
All three need to be properly
managed. Cash conversion cycle
needs to be minimized, Receivable
turnover and payable cycle need to
be optimized. All the factors have
their effect on profitability of thebusiness. Students will study the
working capital management
techniques followed by the
company so as to maintain the
liquidity while maintaining the
profitability and suggest means to
improve the working capital cycle
without hampering profitability.
Project financing
In a business companies have to
work on new projects in order toenhance their profitability. But
before a new project is taken up its
viability has to be checked. It should
pass certain parameters. Once the

project then the problem of its
financing comes. How to finance a
project? Different financing
instruments have to be evaluated.Students will study the financing
instruments used by the company

ratios of the company. Their
composition and will compare it
with their peer group. While
analyzing the ratios if they find any
flaw in companys working they will
suggest the measures to the
-

company to improve their working
which will automatically improve
the ratios.
Budgetary control
techniques used by theorganization
Budgeting is a control device in the
hands of the company. Different
budgets are prepared by the
company for the efficient working of
the company. Because budgeted
figures give a parameter to the
company against whom the results
have to be evaluated. Students willstudy the different techniques used
by the company for budgetary
control, reasons for the use of a
specific technique. Outcomes of the
technique in the form of increased
production, increased sale, less
expenditure, reduced labor turn
over, improved cash position etc.
Inventory control techniquesused by the company
In any production house inventory
constitutes the major portion of
their working capital. Inventory
must be managed properly so as to
reduce the chances of shortage as
well as excess of inventory.
Production houses use various
inventory management tools suchas ABC analysis, JIT, LIFO FIFO,
stock levels etc. Student is required
to study the various Inventory
control techniques used by the
company, reasons behind the use of
a particular technique, benefits of
using a particular technique.
Students will explore the
opportunities to use other Inventory
control techniques not used by the
company.
Cash Conversion cycles and
its Impact on the
profitability
Firms typically follow a cycle in
which they purchase inventory, sell
goods on credit, and then collect
accounts receivable. This cycle is
referred to as the cash conversion
cycle. Sound working capital policyis designed to minimize the time
between cash expenditures on
materials and the collection of cash
on sales.
Shortening the cash conversion
cycle leads to higher profitability
and valuation of the company,
provided the other factors are
constant. Generally, a drawback ofshorter Days Sales Outstanding
(DSO) is loss in sales. The students
have to study how the companies
are achieving these mutually
contradicting objectives and
suggest means to improve the cash
conversion cycle without hampering
sales.
Receivables managementtechniques used by the
company
A company gets receivables
whenever it sells goods on credit.

profitability by increasing its
sale/selling price or by reducing its
cost. Its easier for a company to
reduce its cost. Students will studythe various cost reduction
techniques used by the company
such as KIZEN and the benefits
derived by the company after the
use of these techniques.

reference information you need
while you still have the source
material (e.g. book) in front of you.

have to have to go back and find
this information later. For example:if you make a photocopy check that
you have the page numbers; if you
interview someone make a note of
the date; if you print a web page
make a note of the full web address
