PASSAGE-I

The company and the town. The shop-O-shelf company’s supermarket is situated in Bangalore,Coimbatore and Vellore. The company is dynamic and aggressive having grown from 8 store 10 yearsago to 26 today.

Kanchipuram is a town 60 miles from Vellore. It has not shown the spectacular growth of othersuburbs, but its population has increased from around 56,000 to 1, 30,000 in past decade. With noother shop-O-shelf super market within 20 miles of the area, shop-O-shelf Company is consideringopening a store in kanchipuram.

The Arguments against. Some shop-o-shelf executives oppose the project as a poor risk. They point tothe proposed site, which in shopping centre 3 mile from kanchipuram business district. To other foodchains have failed on this site because they claim, most new residences are on the other side of thecommunity.

Moreover the shopping centre owners demand a 5 year lease. Shop-p-shelf would have to try to findanother business to take over the lease should its own store fail before the end of that time.

If a shop-o-shelf market must be opened in kanchipuram, it would be far better, these executivesargue, to build it in the heart of the community. But the point out, another super market is alreadythere.

The arguments for. The majority of the executive maintain that the site has great potential. A neweast-west highway is being built which will pass kanchipuram to the north and force the carcommuters to kanchipuram to pass by the shopping centre. A housing project of 3000 units is going tobe constructed nearby. This project will have 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The average household isexpected to consist of 5 people with over rs.30000 of income to dispose of annually.

They also argue that the centre of kanchipuram is now congested with traffic and has extremely poorparking facilities, while there is excellent parking in the shopping centre. Investment a new buildingin kanchipuram proper would thus be a bad risk and would prove far more costly than a five yearlease should the store fail.

They are not too concerned about the other super market in kanchipuram. There is enough businessfor both. Besides the competitor’s prices are higher than shop-o-shelf.

They also discount past super market failure in the shopping centre. They claim these were causedmore by poor management than by the shopping centre’s being slightly off the better path.

The Decision: the board of directors listen to both sides and then votes to open a shop-o-shelf store atthe kanchipuram shopping centre.

QUESTIONS:

1. The residents at the projected residential development will shop in the kanchipuram store.

2. Poor management causing past super market failures.

3. New east-west highway.

4. Expansion of dynamic company.

5. Failure of two super markets due to poor site selection.

6. Establishing a new store.

7. New housing development.

8. Car commuter will shop at kanchipuram supermarket.

9. High disposable income of expected new residents.

10. Kanchipuram’s prices are lower than those of competitor.

PASSAGE II





In 1997 Mr.deepak, a chemical engineer began experimenting in his spare time with a new method forprocessing fresh orange juice. By 2000, he had perfected the process to such an extent that he wasready to begin production in a small way. His process enabled him to extract 18 percent more juicefrom oranges than was typically extracted by a pressure juicer of the type currently used in cafes. Hisprocess also removed some of the bitterness, which got into the juice from the peeling when orangeswere squeezed without peeling them.

Since many of the better quality restaurants preferred to serve fresh orange juice, Mr. Deepak believedhe could find a ready market for his product. Another appeal of his product would be that he couldmaintain more consistent juice flavour than haphazard restaurant juicing usually produced.

Mr.deepack patented the process and then started production. Since his capital was limited, he beganproduction in a small building, which previously had been a woodworking shop. With the help of hisbrother, Mr.deepack marketed the juice through local restaurants. The juice was distributed in glassbottles, which proved to be rather expensive because of high breakage. The new product wasfavourably accepted by the public and the business proved to be a success.

Mr.deepack began to receive larger and more frequent orders from frequent orders from his customersand their business associates. In 2002, he quit his regular job in order to devote full time to his juicebusiness. He soon reached his capacity because of his inability to personally cover a larger area withhis pickup truck advertising was on a small scale because of limited funds. Faced with the problemsof glass bottle breakage and limited advertising and distribution, Mr. Deepak was offered a planwhereby the distributors would advertise and distribute the product on the basis of 25% of gross sales.The distributors assist Mr. Deepak in securing a loan from local bank to expand the production.

Before he had an opportunity to contact the bank to borrow the money, Mr. Deepak was introduced toMr.sunil a plastics engineer, who produced plastic container. Mr. Deepak mentioned his ownproblems in the expansion of his business. Mr. Sunil wanted to finance expanded juice productionwith the understanding that plastic containers would be used for marketing the orange juice. He wouldlend the money interest free, but he was receiving 40% of the net profit for the next 10 years.Distribution and advertising were to be done through an advertising agent for 25% of gross sales. Theprincipal on Mr.sunil invested money was to be repaid by Mr. Deepak on a basis of 10% of his shareof the profits of Mr. Sunil was retain an interest in the profits of the firm until the loan was repaid, areat least for 10 years.

Mr.deepak’s current were 10000 litres of juice a month. If distribution could be expanded sales couldbe doubled, given the potential. Of the possible total sales of 20000 a month, about 75% would besold to large restaurants and the juices were bottled in plastic containers, as soon as the juices werebottled in plastic containers. Mr.deepack was very shops would succeed. Some initial contacts weremade with a local manager of a food chain supermarket. The manager was sure that he could sell 4000litres a month through his outlets.

Mr.deepak also calculated his potential profits. His goal was to increase sales while at the same timeearning a 10% rate of return on his prior capital investment in equipment and other assets. The presentvalue of Mr.deepack investment was Rs.250000. of this sum machinery and equipment were valued atRs 100000 building was worth Rs. 50000 and his patent and know how were valued at Rs. 100000.





On the basis of this evaluation, Mr.deepack desired a return of Rs. 25000 above salaries and otherexpenses after the first year of operation.

Both the regional distributor and Mr.sunil believed that Mr.deepak’s sales could be increased to15000 litres of juice per month by the end of the first year of expanded operations. However, theextent to which production could be expended to meet demand depended on the availability of plasticcontainers (which would be supplied at factory cost under Mr. Sunil’s proposal), and additionalmachinery. Increased market coverage would be obtained both under the regional food distributorfactor, as Mr.deepack understood, was which plan would maximize his return on investment beyondthe minimum figure of 10%.

QUESTIONS:

11. Cost of securing a loan.

12. High breakage rate of glass bottles.

13. Expansion of the business.

14. Continued demand by the public for Mr.deepak’s orange juice.

15. Possibility of doubling sales through expanded distribution.

PART –II

Direction:

Each passage in this section is followed by questions based on this content. Read the passagescarefully and then answer the question given below them by choosing the best answer to eachquestion. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages.

This concept of “standard of living “is a wide and multifaceted one. In the absence of comprehensivemeasurement, it is commonly expressed empirically in terms of consumption or in terms of income.

One of the most comprehensive expressions of standards of standard of living is total consumptionover an extended period, where consumption is defined not only as family purchased but also thefamily; 1) consumption of goods and services produced by the family; (2) consumption of public





services provided without payment; and (3) consumption of goods and services received ascompensation for labour, over and above wages and salary. It may be assumed that total consumptiona less subject to incidental fluctuations than income. Moreover, it reflects not only current income butalso past income and savings, windfalls, and expectations regarding future income. Current monetaryincome constitutes the main indicator for the standard of living; however, standard of living is notdetermined solely by current income, but also by past income, accumulated assets and expectationsfor future income. Moreover, the standard of living of a family is influenced by the value of the publicservices from which it benefits and the rate of taxes which it has to pay.

Between 1994 and 2000 the standard of living of the urban population rose. During this period,average real income increased by approximately 5% per annum. During 1996-97, the income of allstrata was adversely affected, particularly, that of lower income groups. During this period till 2000,atrend of decreasing inequality in income distribution has occurred, ost noticeable among the amongthe lower income brackets.

In the period under review, the standard of living of families originating from Asia and Africaimproved relative to that of all families. This improvement found expression in higher income levels,better housing, a higher ownership rate of consumer durables and an increase in the proportion offamilies in higher income brackets. However, even after the improvement in their relative positionduring the past decade, their average income is still only70% of the overall average for all families.

One of the important factors behind the income differential between families of African and Asianoriginals and the rest of the populations is the level of education. In recent years the gap betweenthese two groups has narrowed among the younger generation, but it is still substantial. Unless theeducation gap is significantly reduced between these two group, other means employed in an attempt tproduce more income equality will be thwarted. More resources must be immediately put to the taskof improving educational opportunities for families of African and Asian origin, without of course,reducing the educational facilities and opportunities open to the rest of the population.

23. Consumption is defined as1) Total family purchases2) Total family purchases plus goods and services produced by the family3) Public services provided by the state4) Income minus expenditure on necessities5) Total family purchases plus other goods and services consumed

24. Between 1994 and 2000, average real income1) remained stable2) Increased by about 5% annually3) Decreased slightly4) Decreased during the recession5) Decreased 5% annually

25. According to the passage, between 1997 and 2000, Income equality1) Declined among all strata2) Declined most significantly among lower income groups3) Widened between the rich and the poor strata4) Did not change appreciably5) Declined among older group in the population

26. The author believes that inequality of income might be narrowed if1) the tax structure was reformed2) the educational gap between different population groups was reduced3) more jobs could be found for people of Asian-African origin4) real income increased5) a system of price controls was implemented

27. The standard of living of Asia-African immigrants has improved as measured by all of thefollowing factors except

1) Higher income levels2) Better housing3) Increased ownership of consumer durables4) A shift in population centres5) An increased proportion of Asian- African families in higher income brackets

PASSAGE II

Much has been written about the need for increasing our knowledge of marketing in other countriesand how different marketing systems operate in delivering goods and services to consumer’s .Indianbusinessman have long been interested in foreign markets for the purpose of stimulating trade.Analysis of then mechanisms of the given country’s internal trade and the structural andenvironmental factors of its marketing system are necessary to the success of an Indian firm’smarketing efforts aboard.

Knowledge of a country’s marketing systems of equal important to the potential investor.Information pertaining to channels of distribution, promotional facilities, and the marketingexperience of management should have weight in the investment decision equal to factors such asfinancing the possibility of expropriation and plant location. Moreover, Indian businessmen arecertainly not limited to investment in manufacturing industry abroad; there may be profitableopportunities for the introduction of Indian marketing institutions and techniques in other countries.The extent to which Indian rupees should be channelled into the introduction of Indian marketinginnovations depends upon the answers to the following questions:

1. To what extent is it possible to “transplant” Indian marketing operations or institutions toforeign countries, and

2. Would such transplantations, if successful, contribute to the economic development of therecipient county?

In the light of the above, research is needed to determine the factors responsible for theacceptance and growth of marketing innovations so that an understanding of the adoption process canaid Indian businessmen contemplating the introduction of similar marketing techniques in otherdeveloping countries.

Take the case of the marketing innovation; self- service. Whether self- service shops can besuccessful outside India depends upon sufficient population density, consumer income and theavailability of suitable store locations and manpower. But even when these environmental forces arepositive, cultural constraints may still serve as a barrier to the development of self- service. Forexample, a packaged food industry only “fresh” foods and produce can be overcome. Moreover,





consumers must be sufficiently literate to select products from store shelves without the help of salesclerks.

The traditional pattern of shopping (in many countries) at different locations for each category ofgoods – e.g. dairy products, vegetables, meat, etc. – is a custom that has been learned and reinforcedover many years. It does not break down easily. Daily shopping trips may be more of a socialEndeavour, provided the housewife can have contact with her friends at the local market or grocery,although hand- to-mouth buying may also result from low incomes and lack of refrigerating andstorage facilities.

In Israel, the first supermarket was successful in changing the shopping patterns of many housewiveswho traditionally shopped at different stores for meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits, andbacked goods. Housewives prefer the self- service shop because it reduced total shopping time andoffered quality food at lower prices. Working women switched to the self- service shop because it isopen during their lunch hour, unlike the small shops that close mid-day for several hours. Besidesintroducing a wider assortment of products at lower prices, standardized packaging, pricing, andquality was offered to the Israeli consumer. Although pre-packaged meats and produce were notaccepted by many consumers at first, there are indications that buying habits have changed. Forexample, packaged meat now accounts for about 25% of total sales of Israel’s two major self- servicefood chains.

Questions:

31. According to the author, knowledge of foreign marketing systems is essential because it1) Cements relation between countries.2) Helps us to know about other people.3) Can help to stimulate foreign trade.4) Improves channel of distribution.5) Teaches us something about our marketing system.

32. The passage implies that marketing can contribute to:1) Improving goods and services.2) Economic development.3) More efficient promotion and advertising.4) Full employment.5) Growth of economic institutions.

33. Successful introduction of India marketing abroad depends upon the1) Education level in the host country.2) Amount of investment capital available.3) Use of efficient channels of distribution.4) Extend to which the techniques can be ‘transplanted’.5) Adoptability of Indian methods to ‘foreign cultural conditions’.

34. A most important constraint on the introduction of self- service shops seems to be1) Cultural barriers.2) Income.3) Education.4) Capital formation.





5) Population dispersion.35. In Israel daily shopping trips to the food market occur because of

1) A lack of supermarkets.2) Social reasons as much as economic ones.3) Low per capita income.4) Poor transportation facilities.5) Fluctuating food supplies.

36. Working women in Israel prefer self service shops owning to their

1) Lower food prices2) Better quality food products3) More convenient shopping hours4) Wider choice of commodities5) Pre-packaged meals and vegetables

37. Concerning the transfer of Indian marketing techniques abroad, the author concludes that1) Most countries can accept these techniques2) They are not operable in most countries3) More research is needed into this subject4) The transfer depends upon capital availability

5) In general, only developed countries can use Indian marketing techniques38. The author states that adaption of self-service is a function of
