RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be

understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In this we study the

various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher studying his research problem along

with the logic behind them.

The general methods adopted in conducting research are as follows:

1) Research design

2) Sampling technique

3) Sample size

4) Data collection

5) Data analysis and interpretation

Research design:

Research design is a conceptual structure within which research is conducted. It is needed

because it facilitates the smooth sailing of various research operations, thereby making research

as effective as possible yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of effort, time

and money.

Sampling technique:

A random sampling technique was used to select the sample for conducting the survey.

Sample size:

A sample size of 50 employees has been considered.

Data collection:

The task of data collection begins after the research problem has been defined and

research design is chalked out. For the purpose of study two kinds of data have been used. They

are:

1) Primary Data : The data is data gathered for the first time by the researcher -

questionnaires.

2) Secondary Data : This data is taken by the researcher from secondary sources, internal or

external - books, internet, journals, and organization catalogues.

Data Analysis and Interpretation:

Data from questionnaires has been tabulated by using simple statistical techniques.

is situated at Lalapet, Hyderabad. The branch products of Vijaya under the APDDCFL has

recorded satisfactory growth and maintains it’s quality even while facing the challenges from the

multi-national companies.

Their main orientation in the decision making maintains good relations and creates particular

effective utilization of manpower. Despite of this, all types of jobs require some type of Training

for their efficient performance and therefore, all the employees, new or old should be trained or

retrained.

To analyze the training and development of Human Resources in APDDCFL, a study was

conducted. This study examines and describes the phenomenon of development of Human

Resources through Training activities.

The data was collected with the help of Questionnaires, the Analysis and Interpretation is as

and Entrepreneurship” opines that the probabilities of a successful Training and Development

programme upon the concentration on supporting programmes which involve records, feedback

and reshaping organizational climate.

The Technical and Financial skills of the employees must be updated by periodic Training to the

employees. The organization, for success, must conduct regular Training Programmes and the

employees in the organization must be Trained irrespective of their cadre.

SURVEY ON TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT AT “INFOCOM MANPOWER”

Introduction and key findings

The Annual Survey on Infocomm Manpower was intended to track Infocomm manpower profile and requirements of the Singapore Industry. It covered a total of 2,196 organizations comprising 624 Infocomm industry organizations and 1,572 non-Infocomm industry end-user organizations.

The survey provided inputs for Singapore’s Infocomm manpower planning and policy formulation. It also provided useful information on the demands for each occupational category and opportunities for Training & Development in specific skills’ areas.

The survey showed a slight decline of 3% in Infocomm manpower to 102,070 in 2001 compared to 105,605 in 2000. This reflected the weakening global economy and weakening global and Infocomm sector. About half of the Infocomm manpower worked in the Infocomm industry sector and the other half in supporting end user organizations in other industry sectors.

The survey showed that largely the Infocomm manpower capabilities matched industry needs.

However, there were small gaps in the technical areas of E-Commerce Development, Multimedia Content Development and Hardware Design & Development. In non-technical skills, the greatest gaps were in Change Management/ Business Process Re-Engineering and People Development.

The highest number of job vacancies was in Infocomm Middle Management (26%). This was followed by vacancies in Infocomm Sales & Marketing (13%) and Infocomm Top Management (12%).

In the distribution of manpower across the Infocomm industry, more than 50% were employed by the Hardware and IT Service sectors. Telecommunications and Media made up the rest.

In the distribution of manpower across the end user organizations, Financial Intermediaries employed over 34% and Wholesale and Retail Trade employed 22%. Business Services made up 18% while Manufacturing made up 14%. Government and others made up the rest.

Occupation Categories & Profiles

Technical Support, Infocomm Sales & Marketing, Application Development & Integration were the top three occupational categories over 38% of Infocomm manpower.

Top Five Skills to Acquire

In terms of technical skills, the overall top five skills that companies deem most important were E-Commerce Development, IT Project Management, Operating Systems; Networking and Database Management. However, Multimedia Content Development was ranked second by Infocomm industry organizations.

For non-technical skills, the overall top five skills that companies deem most important were Marketing & Sales, Customer Services, Creative Thinking, Negotiation & Decision Making/Judgement. However, end-user organizations thought that Teamwork and people Development were most important.

Preferred Way to Acquire the Top Five Skills

The most preferred way for organizations to acquire the top five skills essential to their core business was to hire and train fresh graduates (44%). The second most preferred way was to hire experienced people with requisite skills from other organizations (29%).

Training

The average spending on Training per organization for organizations which spent on Training was estimated to be nearly $31,000. Nearly 80% of courses were non-Infocomm ones.

Organizations spent more on Training Infocomm manpower than non-Infocomm manpower, especially for Infocomm industry organizations. Formal On-the-Job Training was the most preferred Training method, followed by classroom Training.

Certification

74% of organizations were unwilling to pay premium for employing professionally certified Infocomm manpower. This comprised 79% of Infocomm industry organizations compared to 71% for end-user organizations.

Approximately 64% of Infocomm manpower did not have professional certification. A slightly higher percentage of Infocomm manpower in Infocomm industry organizations had certification (37%) compared to 35% for those in end-user organizations.

Vacancy and Growth

There were over 4,600 job vacancies for Infocomm manpower in 2001. Two-thirds of these were in end-user organizations.

In terms of occupational categories, the highest number of vacancies was in Infocomm Middle Management (26%). This was followed by vacancies in Infocomm Sales & Marketing (13%) and Infocomm Top Management (12%).

The overall demand for Infocomm manpower jobs was expected to rise marginally for the next 2 years, i.e. 4.7% in 2002 and 5.2% in 2003.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Human Resource Management: HRM is concerned with the human beings in an organization. It reflects a new philosophy, a new outlook, approach and strategy, which views an organization’s manpower as its resources and assets.

It is a managerial function which facilitates the effective utilization of people (manpower) in achieving organizational and individual goals.

Earlier HRM was called by different names like Personnel Management, Personnel Administration, Staff Management, Manpower Management, Labour Relations, Industrial Relations, Labour Management, Labour Administration, Labour Management Relations, Employee-Employer Relations, Human Capital Management and Human Asset Management.

Simply HRM is a management function that helps the managers to recruit, select, train and develop the people for the purpose of achieving the stated organizational goals.

In the present scenario, HRM is used as a synonym to Personnel Management and the Personnel Department is called the HR Department.

“National Institute of Personnel Management” defined HRM as “The Part of management which is concerned with the people at work and with their relationship within an enterprise. It aims to bring together and develop into an effective organization of the men and women who make up an enterprise and having regard for the well-being of the individuals and of working groups, to enable them to make their best contribution to its success”.

Features of HRM:

o Comprehensive Managerial Function

o People Oriented

o Task/Action Oriented

o Development Oriented

o Future Oriented

o Globally Oriented

o Continuous Function

o Challenging Function

o Staff Function

o HRM is both a Science and an Art.

Scope of HRM:

1. Procurement: Procurement includes recruitment and selection of right kinds of personnel to occupy the various posts in the organization.

It includes –

a) Determination of manpower requirementsb) Job Analysisc) Nature and Scope of Requirementd) Employee Selection &e) Placement of Employees

2. Training & Development: Training & Development is must to prepare the worker made to involve the employees in the actual management situations. Employees’ participation in committees and board meetings may also contribute towards their development.

3. Job Analysis & Job Description: Job Analysis & Job Description involves the studies of job requirements of the enterprise and assignment of well defined functions to jobs so that qualified employees may be hired. It also forms the basis of wage determination.

4. Remuneration: Provision of adequate remuneration for the work done by an employee involves job analysis & job evaluation. It includes determining wage rates, incentive systems of wage payment, merit-rating and performance appraisal.

5. Personnel Records: The function of personnel records includes collection bio-data of all employees pertaining to their work e.g., training job performance, aptitude payment records.

6. Welfare & Industrial Relations: It includes health and safety program, sanitary facilities, recreational facilities, group insurance employee associations etc.

Objectives:

1) To help in Achievement of Organizational Goals: HR Department, like other departments

in an organization, exists to achieve the goals of the organization first and if it does not meet

this purpose, HR department will wither and die.

2) To Employ Skills and Abilities of the Workforce Efficiently: The primary purpose of

HRM is to make people’s strengths productive and to benefit customers, stockholders and

employees.

3) To provide Organization with Well Trained and Well Motivated Employees: HRM

requires that employees be motivated to exert their maximum efforts, that their performance

be evaluated properly for results and that they be remuneration on the basis of their

contributions to the organizations.

4) To increase Employee’s Job Satisfaction & Self Actualization: It tries to prompt and

stimulate every employee to realize his potential. To this end suitable programs have to be

designed aimed at improving the Quality of Work Life (QWL).

5) To Develop and Maintain a Quality of Work Life: It makes employment in the

organization a desirable, personal and social situation. Without improvement in the quality of

work life, it is difficult to improve organizational performance.

6) To Communicate HR Policies to All Employees: It is the responsibility of HRM to

communicate in the fullest possible sense; tapping ideas, opinions and feelings of customers,

non-customers, regulators and other external public as well as understanding the views of

internal human resources.

7) To be Ethically and Socially Responsive to the Needs of Society: HRM must ensure that

organizations manage human resource in an ethical and socially responsible manner through

ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

TRAINING: Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee

for performing the job efficiently and effectively.

It involves:

The acquisition of knowledge, Sharpening of skills, Concepts, Rules, or Changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the performance of employees.

DEVELOPMENT: Development is a long-term educational process utilizing an

organized Systematic procedure by which managerial personnel

learn conceptual and theoretical knowledge for general purpose.

It covers not only those activities which improve job performance but also those activities which

improve the personality of an employee.

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT:

Training & Development is a subsystem of an organization which is concerned with

organizational activity, aiming at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in

organizational settings. In simple terms, it refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and

knowledge to an employee.

Training and development is vital part of the human resource development. Every Organization

big or small, productive or non-productive, economic and social, old or newly established

follows the Process of Training & Development. Organizational efficiency, productivity,

progress and development to a greater extent depend on training & development.

NATURE OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT:

In simple terms, Training & Development refer to the imparting of specific skills,

abilities and knowledge to an employee.

More clearly, T & D may understood as any attempt to improve current or future

employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually

by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge.

The need for Training & Development is determined by the employee’s performance

deficiency, computed as –

Distinction between ‘Training’, ‘Education’ & ‘Development’:

Training- refers to the

process of imparting

specific skills.

Training includes

Application of skills, gives

a job experience to the

candidate which includes

Specific Tasks in a Narrow

Perspective.

Training is for Operatives

Education- It refers to

theoretical learning in

classrooms.

Education is basically a

Theoretical Orientation,

can be referred as

classroom learning which

includes General concepts

in a Broad Perspective.

Education is common

to all employees

Development- It refers to the

learning opportunities

designed to help employees

grow.

Development is not primarily

skills oriented. It provides

general knowledge & attitudes

which will be helpful to

employees in higher positions.

Development programmes

are for employees in higher

positions

PURPOSE OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT:

Training & Development Need = Standard Performance – Actual Performance

The Need for Training can be explained by the following factors-

To Increase Productivity : Training & Development can help employees to Increase their

level of performance on their present assignment. Increased human performance often

directly leads to increase in operational productivity and company profit.

To Improve Quality : Better-trained workers are less likely to make operational mistakes.

Quality increases may be in relationship to a company product or service, or in reference to

the intangible organizational employment atmosphere. By better Training & Development

Quality of work & work life are improved.

To help a company fulfill its future personnel needs : Organizations that have a good

internal educational program will have to make less manpower changes and adjustments in

the event of sudden personal alterations. When the need arises, organizational vacancies can

more easily be staffed from internal sources from both its non-supervisory and managerial

employees.

To improve Organizational Climate : An endless chain of positive reactions results from a

well planned training program. By Training & Development production & product quality

will be improved and then the financial incentives are increased which in simple terms sense

that the Organizational Climate is improved.

To Improve Health & Safety: Proper training can help prevent industrial accidents. A

safer work environment leads to more stable mental attitudes to the employees. Managerial

mental state would also improve if supervisors know that they can improve themselves

through company designed development programmes.

Obsolescence Prevention: Training programmes foster the initiative and creativity of the

employees and help to prevent manpower obsolescence, which may be due to age,

temperament or motivation, or the liability of a person to adapt himself to technological

changes.

Personal Growth: Employees on a personal basis gain individually from exposure to

educational experiences. Management development programmes seems to give participants a

wider awareness, an enlarged skill and enlightened altruistic philosophy and make enhanced

personal growth possible.

To achieve Organizational Stability & Growth

To provide an opportunity for the development of Human Resources’ technical &

behavioral skills in an organization

Leads to improve profitability and more positive attitude towards profit orientation

In better terms, the need for Training & Development is to create a better corporate

image.

EVALUATION OF TRAINING PROGRAMME:

The specification of values forms a basis for evaluation. The basis of evaluation and the mode of

collection of information necessary for evaluation should be determined at the planning stage.

The process of training evaluation has been defined as "Any attempt to obtain information on

the effects of training performance and to assess the value of training in the light of

information”. Evaluation leads to controlling and correction of training programmers. Hamblin

suggested five levels at which evaluation of training can take place. They are as follows:

Reaction Learning Job Behavior Organization Ultimate

Reactions:

Training programme is evaluated on the basis of trainee's reaction to the usefulness of coverage of the matter, depth of the course content, method of presentation, teaching methods etc.

Learning: In the Training programme, trainees’ ability is evaluated on the basis of the content learned and the time in which it is learned and learner's ability to use the content learned.

Job behavior: The evaluation includes the manner and extent to which the trainee has applied his learning to the job.

Organization:

This evaluation measures the use of training, learning and change in the job behavior of the department/organization in the form of increased productivity, quality and morale and sales turnover.

Ultimate Value: It is the measurement of ultimate result of the contributions of the training programme to the company goals like survival, growth, profitability etc & to the individual goals like development of personality and social goals such as maximizing social benefit.

Feedback: Training evaluation information should be provided to the trainer and/or instructor, trainees and all other parties concerned for control, correction and improvement of trainee's activity. Further the training evaluator should follow up to ensure implementation of the valuation report, questionnaire or through interview.

PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING:

Evaluation specialist must be clear about the goals & purpose of evaluation Evaluation must be continuous Evaluation must be specific Evaluation must be based on objective methods and standards.

OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT:

To expose participants to latest productivity techniques

To prepare the employees both new and old to meet the present as well as the changing

requirements of the job and the Organization

To acquaint participants develop keen insight into their own behavioral patterns and explain

awareness of their potential

To build up a second line of competent officers and prepare them to occupy more

responsible positions

To develop the potentialities of people for the next level job

To ensure economical output to required quality

To promote individual and collective morale, sense of responsibility, co- operative attitudes

and good relationships.

TRAINING METHODS/TECHNIQUES:

INDUCTION TRAINING: Induction training is important as it can avoid costly mistakes by

recruits not knowing the procedures or techniques of their new jobs.  The length of induction

training will vary from job to job and will depend on the complexity of the job, the size of the

business and the level or position of the job within the business. 

The following areas may be included in induction training:

Learning about the duties of the job

Meeting new colleagues

Seeing the layout of the premises

Learning the values and aims of the business

Learning about the internal workings and policies of the business.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING: With on the job training, employees receive training whilst

remaining in the workplace. Such training is provided by the immediate superior by explaining

the learners how to perform the job, demonstrating them the actual operation of the job,

explaining the workflow process and describing the precautions that should be adopted in

performing the job.

The main methods of one-the-job training include:

Demonstration / instruction - showing the trainee how to do the job

Coaching - a more intensive method of training that involves a close working

relationship between an experienced employee and the trainee

Job rotation - where the trainee is given several jobs in succession, to gain experience of

a wide range of activities (e.g. a graduate management trainee might spend periods in

several different departments)

Projects - employees join a project team - which gives them exposure to other parts of

the business and allow them to take part in new activities. Most successful project teams

are "multi-disciplinary"

The advantages and disadvantages of this form of training can be summarized as follows:

Advantages Disadvantages Generally most cost-effective

Employees are actually productive

Opportunity to learn whilst doing

Training alongside colleagues

Quality depends on ability of trainer and

time available

Bad habits might be passed on

Learning environment may not be

conducive

OF-THE-JOB TRAINING: This occurs when employees are taken away from their place of

work to be trained.

Common methods of off-the-job training include:

Day release (employee takes time off work to attend a local college or training centre)

Distance learning / evening classes

Block release courses - which may involve several weeks at a local college

Sandwich courses - where the employee spends a longer period of time at college (e.g.

six months) before returning to work

Sponsored courses in higher education

Self-study, computer-based training.

The main advantages and disadvantages of this form of training can be summarized as follows:

Advantages Disadvantages A wider range of skills or qualifications

can be obtained

Can gain knowledge from outside

specialists or experts

Employees can gain more confidence

by the time of their joining.

More expensive – e.g. Transport &

Accommodation

The company loses the working time

and potential output from the employee

New employees may still need some

Induction training

After the training employees will have

skills, capabilities & qualification and

so may leave for better jobs.

REFRESHER TRAINING: Rapid changes in technology may force companies to go in for this

kind of training. By organizing short term courses which incorporate the latest developments in a

particular filed the company may keep its employees up to date and ready to take on merging

challenges. It is conducted on regular intervals by taking the help of outside consultants who

specialize in a particular descriptive.

CROSS FUNCTIONAL TRAINING: Cross functional training involves training employees to

perform operation in areas other than their assigned job. There are many approaches to cross

functional training. One of the approaches is Job rotation in which Departments can exchange

personnel for a certain period so that each employee understands how other departments are

functioning. High performing workers can act as peer trainers and help employees develop skills

in another area of operation.

TEAM TRAINING: Team training generally covers two areas:

Content Tasks Group Processes

Content Tasks specify the team’s goal such as cost control and problem solving.

Group Processes reflect the way members function as a team – for example how they interact

with each other how they sort out differences how they participate etc.

The training basically focusses on

1. How members should communicate with each other.

2. How they have to cooperate and get ahead.

3. How they should deal with conflicting situations.

4. How they should find their way using collective wisdom and experience to good advantage.

IMPROVING EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

The Training & Development programmes can be made effective and successful if the

following hints are considered –

Specific training & development objectives should be outlined on the basis of the type of

performance required to achieve organizational goals and objectives

Attempts should be made to determine if the trainee has the intelligence, maturity and

motivation to successfully complete the training & development programmes

The trainee should be helped to see the need for training by making him aware of the

personal benefits he can achieve through better performance

The training program should be planned so that it is related to the trainee's previous

experience and background

If necessary, a combination of training methods should be selected so that variety is

permitted

It should be recognized that all the trainees do not progress at the same rate

The active participation of the trainees should be got in training programs

As the trainee acquires new knowledge, skills or an attitude, applies them in job situation, he

should be significantly rewarded for his efforts

The trainee should ·be provided with regular, constructive feedback concerning his progress

abilities

Attempts should be made to create organizational conditions that are conductive to good

learning environment.

STEPS IN TRAINING PROGRAMME:

Training programmes are a costly affair and a time consuming process. In the organization of training programmes, the following steps are considered necessary:

IDENTIFYING TRAINING NEEDS

PREPARING TRAINING PROGRAMME

PREPARING THE LEARNER

IMPLEMENTING TRANIING PROGRAMME

PERFORMANCE TRY-OUT

FOLLOW UP

1. Identifying Training Needs :\

The basic aim of Training is to include a suitable change in the individual

concerned. It can be useful in improving the transformation process that takes place in the

organization in terms of processing of inputs to outputs. Therefore, Training Needs have to

relate both in terms of the organization’s demand and of individuals.

If the organization wants that new jobs are to be handled by the existing employees, it

requires totrain its personnel suitably. There may be numerous such situations and the

organization will have to identify the training needs of employees. There may be various

formal and informal methods through which training needs of employees may be ascertained

such as views of line personnel, performance records, analysis of difficulties involved in Job

Performance and views of training manager.

2. Preparing Training Programme:

After identifying the employees’ training needs, training programme should be

prepared to meet out those needs. A programme is a type of plan which can be thought

in terms of planned actions integrated into a unity and designed to bring about the stated

objectives.

Attaining programme should address the following issues:

Type of employees to be trained, newcomers or old employees

Type of training material that may be required

Duration of training programme

On-the-Job Training or Off-the-Job Training

3. Preparing the Learner:

In preparing the learners for training programme, following steps are required:

Putting the learners at ease so they do not feel nervous at the job particularly if they

are new comers

Explaining the importance of the job, its relationship and the total workflow

Explaining the needs and objectives of the training in relationship to their jobs

Creating interest among the learners about the training and motivating them to learn

Placing the learners as close to their working place as possible in the case of On-the-

job Training

Familiarizing them with the equipments, materials, tools, trade terms etc.

4. Implementing Training Programme:

This is the most crucial stage of a training programme. Once the training programme has been designed, it needs to be implemented. Any training programme implementation involves the following –

Deciding the location and organizing training & other facilities

Scheduling the training programme

Conducting the training programme

Monitoring the progress of trainees

5. Performance Try-Out:

At this stage, the learners are advised to perform the job on their own ability with

slow speed. Initially, there is likelihood that they commit mistakes. Such mistakes may be

overcome with the help of the trainer. After certain period of time, the learners become

more efficient in performing the job through continuous practice, as the job involved is a

repetitive one. At this stage there should be some mechanism to ascertain whether the

learners have learnt what was intended. This may be in the form of measurement of work

performance results, interviews of the learners comprising questions to identify the degree

of learning and observing the behavior of the learners.

6. Follow Up Actions/ Feedback: At the final stage of the training programme, follow-up actions are required to

ensure that the trainees have learnt the job fully and they can work independently without

the help of the trainer. This stage consists of-

Putting the trainees on their own and checking frequently how they are applying the

methods that they have learned during the training

Tapering off extra supervision gradually and close follow-up until they are qualified

to work with normal supervision.

CHAPTER III

COMPANY PROFILE

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AT A GLANCE

"The Indian pharmaceutical industry is a success story providing employment for

millions and ensuring that essential drugs at affordable prices are available to the vast

population of this sub-continent.”

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of India's

Science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug

manufacture and technology. A highly organized sector, the Indian Pharma Industry is

estimated to be worth $ 4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9 percent annually. It ranks

very high in the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines

manufactured. From simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex

cardiac compounds, almost every type of medicine is now made indigenously. The Indian

Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units. It has

expanded drastically in the last two decades. The leading 250 Pharmaceutical companies

control 70% of the market with market leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. It is

an extremely fragmented market with severe price competition and government price

control.

The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country's demand for bulk

drugs, drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations, chemicals, tablets, capsules,

orals and injectibles. There are about 250 large units and about 8000 Small Scale Units,

which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India. These units produce the

complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by

patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value.

Pharmaceuticals are medicinally effective chemicals, which are converted to dosage

forms suitable for patients to imbibe in its basis chemical form, pharmaceuticals are

called bulk drugs and the final dosage forms are known as Formulation Bulk drugs are

derived from intermediates (raw materials) namely:

Plant Derivatives (herbal products)

Animal Derivatives E.g.-Insulin extracted from bovine pancreas

Synthetic Chemicals

Bio Genetics (human derivatives) E.g.-Human Insulin

ADVANTAGE IN INDIA

Competent workforce: India has a pool of personnel with high managerial and technical

competence as also skilled workforce. It has an educated work force and English is

commonly used. Professional services are easily available.

Cost-effective chemical synthesis: Its track record of development, particularly in the

area of improved cost-beneficial chemical synthesis for various drug molecules is

excellent. It provides a wide variety of bulk drugs and exports sophisticated bulk drugs.

Legal & Financial Framework: India has a 53 year old democracy and hence has a

solid legal framework and strong financial markets. There is already an established

international industry and business community.

Information Technology: It has a good network of world-class educational institutions

and established strengths in Information Technology.

Globalization: The country is committed to a free market economy and globalization.

Above all, it has a 70 million middle class market, which is continuously growing.

Consolidation: For the first time in many years, the international pharmaceutical

industry is finding great opportunities in India. The process of consolidation, which has

become a generalized phenomenon in the world pharmaceutical industry, has started

taking place in India.

Export Scenario: The Export revenue now contributes almost half the total revenue for

the top three pharmacy majors Dr.Reddy’s, Ranbaxy and Cipla. The formulation and

exports are largely to developing nations in CIS, South East Asia, Africa and Latin

America. In the last three years generic export was developing countries have picked up.

External Trade: In India pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated the government

controls prices of a large number of bulk drugs and formulations. Profit margins of

players vary widely in both domestic and exports sales due to many factors.

Future Prospects: As per W.T.O, from the year 2005 India will grant product patent

recognition to all new chemical entities (NEC's) i.e. bulk drugs developed then onwards.

This leaves another three years of MNC’s research output open to process piracy.

S.W.O.T

1. STRENGTHS: Strong skills in synthetic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry,

Pharmaceutical science and analytical chemistry to manufacture a range of product and

low labor cost are significant Indian strengths.

2. WEAKNESS: Although the industry is large by Indian standard, its share is merely 1-

2 percent of the International pharmaceuticals market. Similarly, if 25% of the Indian

industry gross sales were to be invested in R&D the budget would still be smaller than

that of a number of US companies.

3. OPPURTUNITIES: Indian pharmaceutical industry has shown tremendous progress in

terms of infrastructure development, technology base and range of protection. All this

has been possible due to a strong base of scientific as well as technical man power and

also due to pioneering work done in the process of development. The industry's strength

lies in world class technology, cost effective production of 70% of bulk drugs and

almost all required formulation, rich biodiversity, competitive R&D cost over 20%

growth rate in export. With increasing number of bulk drugs going off patent and

captivity of Indian scientist in process technology, the shone of Indian pharmaceutical

product in the world market is expected to rise further. This process will stimulate

economic development; provide jobs and India build a reputation within the global

scientific community.

4. THREAT: A number of countries will comply with patent laws from 2005. The

industry will be compelled to compete with multinationals and it remains to be seen how

many will survive besides environment compliance will set more stringent.

Strengthening the Industry

Indian companies need to attain the right product-mix for sustained future growth. Core

competencies will play an important role in determining the future of many Indian

pharmaceutical companies in the post product-patent regime after 2005. Indian

companies, in an effort to consolidate their position will have to increasingly look at

merger and acquisition options, improve their R&D efforts and improve distribution to

penetrate markets.

Research and development has always taken the back seat amongst Indian

pharmaceutical companies. In order to stay competitive in the future, Indian companies

will have to refocus and invest heavily in R&D.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry also needs to take advantage of the recent advanced

biotechnology and information technology. The future of the industry will be determined

by how well it markets its products to several regions and distributes risks, its forward

and backward integration capabilities, its R&D, its consolidation through mergers and

acquisitions, co-marketing and licensing agreements.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION

&

SUGGESTIONS

CONCLUSION

After conducting an intense study on Training Programmes in Natco Pharma Ltd, I have

arrived at the following conclusions.

Natco Pharma is providing the employees an excellent training programme and to a large extent

trainees prefer to undergo training for a limited period.

The Training programme helps in handling multiple tasks and in self-development of the

trainees.

The employees feel that the Training is a learning experience in which they seek relatively

permanent change, which would improve the ability in them to perform the job.

Natco Pharma gives due importance to trainers and these trainers are well versed in their areas

of expertise.

Natco Pharma provides excellent Infrastructure for training in terms of spacious and fully

furnished auditorium. The audio visual equipment is provided as and when required.

SUGGESTIONS

Frequency of the Training Programmes conducted at Natco Pharma should be increased

further. This will help employees to learn new and diverse skills motivating them to take up

responsibilities

Depending on the level of employees the duration of Training Programmes must be adjusted,

some employees have good grasping power, others may need a longer time to learn new

things. Training duration may be increased or decreased accordingly to sue training

requirement

Conducting audio visual sessions, role plays and injecting humorous interviews serve to

anchor learning

Impact of Training can be increased many fold by issue of training material in the form of

hand books, manuals etc to the employees

As a part of training policy, retraining may be used continually to upgrade employee skills

Feedback should be collected through follow up interview from every trainee

Suggestion boxes should be used to gather information about training from working staff to

encourage participation

Training Certificates should be issued to the trainees which will serve as an evidence of their

skills and also help them in their future career prospects.
