“Hero” is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship

company Hero Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda

Motor Company was established in 1984 as the Hero Honda company,India.

During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in

India for their fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on

the slogan 'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' that emphasised the motorcycle's fuel efficiency

helped the company grow at a double-digit pace since inception.

Hero Honda has three manufacturing facilities based at Dharuhera and

Gurgaon in Haryana and at Haridwar in Uttarakhand. These plants together are

capable of churning out 3.9 million bikes per year. Hero Honda's has a large sales

and service network with over 3,000 dealerships and service points across India.

Hero Honda's customer loyalty program, the Hero Honda Passport Program, claims

to be one of the largest programs of its kind in the world with over 3 million members.

The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies list has Hero Honda Motors

ranked at 108.

History

India became the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world

starting in the 1950s with the Automobile Products of India (API) that manufactured

the Lambrettas and Bajaj Auto Ltd. with its association with Piaggio of Italy

(manufacturer of Vespa scooters) as the largest manufacturers within the country.

The license raj that existed between the 1940s to 1980s in India did not allow

foreign companies to enter the market and imports were tightly controlled. This

regulatory maze, before the economic liberalization, made business easier for local

players to have a seller’s market. Customers in India were forced to wait up to 12

years to buy a scooter from Bajaj. The CEO of Bajaj commented that he did not need

a marketing department, only a dispatch department. By the year 1990, Bajaj had a

waiting list that was twenty-six times its annual output for scooters.

The motorcycle segment had the same long wait times with three

manufacturers: Royal Enfield, Ideal Jawa, and Escorts. Royal Enfield made a 350cc

Bullet with the only four-stroke engine at that time and took the higher end of the

market but there was little competition for their customers. Ideal Jawa and Escorts

took the middle and lower end of the market respectively.

In the mid-1980s, the Indian government regulations changed and permitted

foreign companies to enter the Indian market through minority joint ventures. The

two-wheeler market changed with four Indo-Japanese joint ventures: Hero Honda,

TVS Suzuki, Bajaj Kawasaki and Kinetic Motor Company (Kinetic Honda). The entry

of these foreign companies changed the Indian market dynamics from the supply

side to the demand side. With a larger selection of two-wheelers on the Indian

market, consumers started to gain influence over the products they bought and

raised higher customer expectations. The industry produced more models, styling

options, prices, and different fuel efficiencies. The foreign companies new

technologies helped make the products more reliable and with better quality. Indian

companies had to change to keep up with their global counterparts.

Definition of Mission Statement:

A mission statement is a formal short written statement of the

purpose of a company or organization. The mission statement should guide the

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a sense of direction,

and guide decision-making. It provides "the framework or context within which the

company's strategies are formulated.

Mission statements often contain the following:

Purpose and aim of the organization.

The organization's primary stakeholders: clients, stockholders, congregation,

etc.

Responsibilities of the organization toward these stakeholders.

Hero Honda’s Mission statement

"Its our mission to strive for synergy between technology, systems and human

resources, to produce products and services that meet the quality, performance and

price aspirations of our customers. While doing so, we maintain the highest

standards of ethics and societal responsibilities."

Hero Honda should have this type of Mission statement

from our point of view:

“Hero Honda is committed to being a highly profitable, socially responsible, and

leading manufacturer with maintains the highest standards of ethics and societal

responsibilities, to produce products and services with environmentally friendly,

lifetime personal transportation products under the Hero Honda brand and to provide

fulfillment and prosperity for employees, dealers and suppliers.”

take the industry to the next level. We'll do all it takes to reach there.”

SWOT ANALYSIS OF

HERO HONDA COMPANY

HERO HONDA

Page 8: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

8

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

A) STRENGTH:-

a) Achievement:

Retained the coveted position of World No 1 Two-wheeler Company for the

seventh consecutive year.

b) High Sales Growth:

Hero Honda experienced great growth throughout its early days. The Munjal

family started a modest business of bicycle components. By 2002 Hero Group had

sold 86 million bicycles producing 16000 bicycles a day. Today Hero Honda has an

assembly line of nine different models of motorcycles available. It holds the record

for most popular bike in the world by sales for Its Splendor model. Hero Honda

Motors Limited was established in joint venture with Honda Motors of Japan in 1984,

to manufacture motorcycles. It is currently the largest producer of Two Wheelers in

the world. It sold 3 million bikes in the year 2005-2006. Recently it has also entered

in scooter manufacturing, with its model PLEASURE mainly aimed at girls. HUNK is

the latest offering from the HHML stable.

SALES PERFORMANCE     FY 04-05 FY 05-06 FY 06-07 FY 07-08 FY 08-09

Total Sales 26,21,400 30,00,751 33,36,756 33,37,142 37,22,000

Exports (incl in above)

64,015 92,666 97,341 90,571 81,193

c) Fuel economy:

Over all fuel consumption by its products is less in compare to other brand’s product.

They have so far been able to give better mileage output. Because of this Hero Honda

splendor has magical sales record.

d) Quality policy:

HERO HONDA

Page 9: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

9

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

Total quality management is the chore philosophy of the company and it is

thus always focussed on product innovation and performance.

e) Service schedule:

Hero Honda offers free services on all its two-wheelers. Customer should

avail all these service within the stipulated time period or km range, whichever

condition gets satisfied earlier from the date of purchase. After the completion of free

services or its validity period one must continue availing paid services as per the

recommended service schedule

e) High financial performance:

The Hero Honda financial chart clearly shows that it has strong financial

background in terms of asset, sales, profit more over, Hero Honda Motors Ltd.

(HHML), the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, today reported 31% per cent

growth in profit after tax (PAT) at Rs 275 crore for the third quarter (October-

December) of this financial year (2007-08). Hero Honda’s profit after tax in the

corresponding period last fiscal stood at Rs 209.18 crore.

Total Turnover (sales turnover plus other income, net of excise) grew to Rs

2795.17 crores, a growth of 3.54 per cent over Rs 2699.63 crores recorded in the

corresponding period last fiscal. The company has recorded an EBIDTA margin of

13.95% in the quarter. The EBIDTA margin in the previous quarter (July-

September’07) was 12.39%.

This strong financial performance comes close on the heels of the company’s

good overall sales even in the face of the prevailing slowdown in the two wheeler

industry. Hero Honda’s cumulative total turnover for the first three quarters (April–

December 2007) of this financial year stood at Rs. 7673.43 crores.

Hero Honda's strategy for aggressive top line growth through new product

launches, brand building initiatives backed by innovative communication has resulted

in market share gain across every segment. Indeed, Hero Honda’s share in domestic

HERO HONDA

Page 10: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

10

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

motorcycles market has been growing upward of 50 per cent, despite the slowdown

in the two-wheeler industry.

B) Weakness:

a) Less promotion:

The promotions and ads of Hero Honda are very less as compared to its

competitors.

b) High maintenance:

Some of the products of hero Honda like Karizma require high maintenance.

c) Lack of recycling scrap:

It expected that by 2020 scrap generated by end of life vehicles in India would

be about 2.5 million tonnes and 40% of it will come from two wheeler.But hero honda

is not capable enough to recycle the scrap generated and may impose

environmental threat. TVS Company has this facility and is future threat to this

company as it can affect the future sales as well.

d) Labor relations:

In Hero Group there is no organized labor union and family members of

employees find ready employment within Hero. The philosophy with regard to labor

management is "Hero is growing, grow with Hero." Hero workers receive a uniform

allowance, as well as House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Leave Travel Allowance

(LTA). Extra benefits include medical check-ups not just for workers, but also for the

immediate family members. For the majority of the production workers, who are hired

through contractors, these benefits are out of reach. This and other problems lead to

a strike and factory occupation by 4,000 temp workers in the Gurgaon plant in spring

2006.

C) Opportunities:

HERO HONDA

Page 11: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

11

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

a) High GDP & increasing income level of consumer:

Supported by strong demand impulses, especially in the manufacturing and

service sector, India’s gross domestic product grew at 8.9 per cent. This is the fourth

successive year in which the country’s growth has exceeded 8 per cent growth, and

India is now in a select club of 12 countries with a trillion dollar plus economy.

As a nation, India has prospered. People living in households with incomes

ranging from 2 lakh – 10 lakh a year has grown from 15 million in 1991 to 100 million

in 2005-06. Not surprisingly, therefore, between 1991 and now, the two wheeler

market has grown more than four times.

Urban India is growing at a rapid pace. NCAER data for top 24 cities in India

shows migration to higher income levels growing at over 40 per cent per annum.

Prosperity in rural India is also a significant phenomenon, with 43 per cent of

households in middle and the high income groups coming from rural India.

More incomes per person, more persons will lead to a quadrupling of India’s

consumer markets in the next two decades, a 2007 study by McKinsey Global

institute has projected. And this will provide Company the ballast to sustain and

consolidate its leadership position.

b) Good will of the company:

If the company utilizes the good will they have gained so far from their

customers, they can increase the sales performance by economizing the cost and

few technical renovation of the product. With new launch they can be benefited at

present market scenario like Karizma, Hunk has huge attraction towards the younger

generation because of its style, sporty look, and high accelerating power and is

stable at its feet even at high speeds.

D) Threats:

a) Finance assistance:

HERO HONDA

Page 12: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

12

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

Easy availability of finance is the main cause of sales growth and any

restriction will hamper its growth prospects.

b) Inflation:

If inflation increases cost of raw material used in production will go high and

selling price may go high that may decrease demand of the two wheeler.

c) Technical renovation aspect:

Competitor bike like pulsar and apache are threat to Hero Honda product like

Karizma and Hunk in respect to fuel economy. So if they don’t short out in the new

launches and give something extra in its engineering performance it may affect in

demand of this company product.

 

Environmental factors OF hero Honda

There are mainly five Environmental factors that are affects Hero Honda.

1. Economic Environment

HERO HONDA

Page 13: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

13

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

2. Political – legal Environment

3. Technological Environment

4. Socio cultural Environment

5. International Environment

1. Economic Environment

Like any other emerging country, India experienced the knock-on effects of

the global crisis during the year in review. The effects were felt through the

monetary, financial and real channels. Drying up of global finance impacted from

the middle of the fiscal impacted domestic capital finance; and corporate earnings

came off peaks.

In April 2009, Reserve Bank of India predicted that the Indian economy's

growth for 2008-09 would slow to 6.6 per cent, breaking an excellent five-year

growth sequence.

There were two dimensions to the economic slowdown. In the first half,

inflation ran into double digits as a result of the global crude shock and the global

food grain shortage.

To control inflation, the RBI clamped down on money supply, and reduced

liquidity in the economy. By the time inflation started coming under control,

domestic interest rates started shooting up. Meanwhile, the global crisis erupted,

putting further pressure on liquidity levels.

By October 2008, slowdown was clearly apparent in export-intensive

sectors, both in the manufacturing and service side. By December, the slowdown

turned into de-growth. The cutback in demand from Europe and the US was so

sharp that even a competitive rupee, which devalued by around 12 per cent

during the year, couldn't act as a buffer.

By December 2008, the growth momentum of the first six months was lost.

Planned investment projects were shelved; live projects faced a shortage of

funds as credit flows dried up. As money became dearer, pay packets became

slimmer and risk aversion grew both from the demand and supply side.

HERO HONDA

Page 14: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

14

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

Compulsions of coalition politics at the Centre and the impending

Lok Sabha elections didn't help either, and slowed down reforms and

implementation of projects, particularly in critical sectors like roads, ports and

power. The worst hit was the manufacturing sector. From the second half of the

financial year, the index of industrial production contracted on three occasions,

remained close to zero on two occasions, and was mildly positive only once.

There was moderation across other sectors as well. Growth in the service sector

slipped from double digits to single digits.

Agriculture growth once again slipped to less than 2 per cent, mostly on

account of indifferent production of cotton and pulses. On its part, the

government came out with three rounds of fiscal measures to revive the

economy. Yet the effects hadn't begun to show, at least till the financial year had

ended. While the year in review was disappointing by Indian standards, India was

still an outperformer by global standards.

Along with China, India still provided a beacon of light to the world. There

were in fact, some signs of some sort of recovery taking shape towards the end

of the financial year, and this momentum continued in the first quarter of 2009-10

as well. Cement despatches in April were the highest in five years, thanks to

revival in construction activity. The World Steel estimated that India would be the

only major country in 2009 with a positive consumption trend.

The overall economy continues to remain a bit volatile, and yet a positive

feel-good sentiment does seem to have returned, especially with the coming of a

stable government at the centre.

In the previous year, the domestic two-wheeler industry entered a period

of de-growth. However, this was arrested in 2008-09, largely on the back of Hero

Honda's performance.

HERO HONDA

Page 15: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

15

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

After the blip of last year, the two-wheeler industry went back to a growth

phase, largely driven by Hero Honda and exports. The industry clocked total

volumes of 8.5 million during the year in review, a growth of 5 per cent compared

to a fall of 5 percent in the previous year. The pace of growth was lower in the

domestic market, where the industry clocked sales of 7.43 million, a rise of only

2.60 per cent. This, however, was a significant improvement over the previous

year when the industry had shrunk by 8 percent.

Motorcycles continue to constitute the largest chunk of the two-wheeler

industry, and during the year in review, accounted for four fifth of sales.

Interestingly, for the second year in succession, scooters increased their share in

the two-wheeler pie from 14 per cent to 16 per cent. This is clearly a trend

reversal from the last 10 years, where the share of scooters in the two-wheeler

pie had been shrinking.

Changing lifestyles among women, and the introduction of feature-rich,

high-quality scooters possibly has much to do with the revival in demand. The

entry segment - made up of basic 100 cc bikes -had started slowing two years

ago, and during the year in review, sales in this segment were down by more

than 15 per cent. This could be attributed to the fact that Deluxe segment bikes

have become affordable on account of a 4% excise cut 1% reduction in CST and

the special package of reduction in excise duty in December, which most

manufacturers passed on to the consumers.

The deluxe segment-made up of value for money and feature-rich bikes in

the 100-125 cc category-grew by 15.2 per cent. The 125-250 cc category-grew at

8.8 per cent.

The pace of growth has fallen from last year's levels. There is no doubt

that the higher interest rates have brought down growth. Nevertheless, this

segment was still able to clock a growth rate in high single digits mainly because

of the excitement caused by a slew of new models that came into this segment

during the year.

The bigger story, of course, is that buyers in small-town India and rural

India, as well as employees of the state and Central government, were relatively

less affected by the slowdown, and this benefited the two wheeler industry.

HERO HONDA

Page 16: Hero Honda s Mission Vision Environmental Indusrtial Analysis

United Business Institutes of Brussels, Belgium

Hero Honda expects sales to continue to grow in the 2009/10 fiscal year,

in spite of a tough economic and financing environment. Hero Honda is looking to

maintain growth and continue to gain market share in the fiscal year starting in

April by focusing on the rural market and continuing to carry out an aggressive

marketing campaign.

2. Political - Legal Environment

Political and Legal environment is an important factor particularly in a

mixed economy like – ours, and affect the working of business organization

significantly.

security and emission reduction Delhi and Mumbai have more than 100,000

commercial vehicles running on CNG fuel. Delhi has the largest number of CNG

commercial vehicles running anywhere in the World. India is planning to introduce

Biodiesel; Ethanol Gasoline blends in a phased manner and has drawn up a road

map for the same.

The Indian auto Industry is working with the authorities to facilitate for

introduction of the alternative fuels. India has also setup a task force for preparing

the Hydrogen road map. The use of LPG has also been introduced as an auto fuel

and the oil industry has drawn up plans for setting up of Auto LPG dispensing station

in major cities.

The latest technology is being adopted by the companies and is being

launched in India as well. One of the latest technologies is the Hybrid Engines which

are launched by Honda motors in India.

A lot of new safety measures are now taken into consideration before the car

or any other motor vehicle is launched to ensure its safety and reliability.

Programmed Electronic Fuel Injection (PGM – FI) for the best drivability

& lesser gear changes in traffic

Real time Mileage indicator (RTMI) for achieving optimum mileage

Bank Angle Sensor – Cuts off fuel supply in case of a tip over - an

industry first safety feature

Lowest Emissions – will meet even the most stringent emission norms of

the future
