SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths:

Managing diverse business. ITC has 105 subsidiaries connected with its various operations.

Wealth of local knowledge & international expertise helps it to be globally competitive.

High quality standard products & services Excellent export earnings. Highly professional management. Excellent distribution network. Excellent brand making capability helping it to diversify it into Retailing, IT

& Hotel segments Agro-export segment showing excellent growth of 28 % & earning Rs. 4

billion foreign exchange. A lasting impression by catchy ads. ITC ltd is one of the most liquid scripts in the capital market. With domestic

institutions having a considerable stake this is likely to improve liquidity in De-mat trading.

Good returns by way of dividend per share every year. In 31.3.2002 the dividend declared is 13.50 Rs per share

The lifestyle retailing segment has won acclaim & moving towards higher sales.

The expression greeting card is widening its base all over India & it is available at most retail shops.

Steady increase in the return on capital employed. Sophisticated research & development facilities.

Weakness:

Diversification into various lines in which it does not have much knowledge would be very risky proposition.

High competition from established brands which has resulted in reduction in profit margins.

Steep increase in cigarette taxes has adversely affected the revenue earned.

11

Page 12: Final marketing file

Due to high price of cigarette, consumers are switching to other cheaper

forms of tobacco. Its hotel industry has still not created a big share in the market size.

Opportunities:

Big untapped market available. For cigarettes, hotels, it, retail garment, packaging & agricultural products.

High growth potential could be achieved. Good source of revenue & foreign exchange available by way of exports of

agricultural products, hotels & cigarettes. Its competitors don’t have the financial banking like it so it can take

advantage of this. Proper publicity of the hotels would increase its brand image & revenue.

Threats:

Negative publicity for smoking could affect its cigarette segment. Government is under huge pressure from public organizations for banning

tobacco products which could affect it adversely. High competition from established brands. Competition from unbranded products. Due to terrorist attacks the tourism industry has taken a back seat which

would affect the hotel segment. Poor monsoon leads to poor agricultural growth which would affect the

agro-exports.

Potential Entry Of new competitors

FMCG Industry does not have any measures which can control the entry of new firms.

The resistance is very low and the structure of the industry is so complex that new firms can easily enter and also offer tough competition due to cost effectiveness. Hence potential entry of new firms is highly viable

Rivalry among competing firms

In the FMCG Industry, rivalry among competitors is very fierce. There are scarce customers because the industry is highly saturated and the

competitors try to snatch their share of market. Market Players use all sorts of tactics and activities from intensive

advertisement campaigns to promotional stuff and price wars etc. Hence the intensity of rivalry is very high.

Potential Development of Substitute Products

There are complex and never ending consumer needs and no firm can satisfy all sorts of needs alone. There are plenty of substitute goods available in the market that can be re- placed if consumers are not satisfied with one.

The wide range of choices and needs give a sufficient room for new product development that can replace existing goods. This leads to higher consumer's expectation.

Bargaining power of Suppliers

The bargaining power of suppliers of raw materials and intermediate goods is not very high.

There is ample number of substitute suppliers available and the raw materials are also readily available and most of the raw materials are homogeneous.

20

Page 21: Final marketing file

There is no monopoly situation in the supplier side because the suppliers are

also competing among themselves.

Bargaining power of Consumer

Bargaining power of consumers is also very high. This is because in FMCG industry the switching costs of most of the goods is very low and there is no threat of buying one product over other.

Customer are never reluctant to buy or try new things off the shelf

ITC’s Promotional activities

23

Page 24: Final marketing file

A particular budget is allocated for the promotion of the products. The local promotion scheme is decided by the Area Sales Managers.

ITC’s DistributionBuoyed by a strong distribution network ITC is likely to retain its market share in the cigarettes business; the ban on advertisements is likely to work in favor of ITC. The company's reliable distribution network also ensures superior inventory turnover than its peers.

P&G Distribution

P&G keeping broaden the market by slashing its no. of distributors down to one-tenth of its size.

85% of its sales come from the top 30 towns & its current volume did not justify a large distributor network.

26

Page 27: Final marketing file

So P&G will now have one distributer who will operate like superstockist, which help to replenish its distributors more frequently and reduce their average stock level.

P&G keep growing on ROI (Return on Investment) which resulted in each distributer trying to extend its reach to push up volumes.

With a limited number of distributers, P&G will also not need to invest in C&F agents.

P & G follows wholesale format of distribution for Vicks.

P&G is giving 6% margin to the distributor

P & G is spending 30-35 % of its sales in Advertisement and Promotion which is highest in the industry, HUL expends only 15% of sales on Advertisement and Promotion.

HUL Distribution

At present, HLL's products, manufactured across the country, are distributed through a network of about 7,000 redistribution stockiest covering about one million retail outlets. Extending availability Data on rural consumer buying behavior indicates that the rural retailer influences 35% of purchase occasions. 

Therefore, sheer product availability can determine brand choice, volumes and market share.

HLL used the principle of project stream line .The principle of Project Streamline is to leverage our scale and organizational synergy to increase reach in rural markets.

The pivot of Streamline is the Rural Distributor (RD), who has15-20 rural sub-stockiest attached to him. Each of these sub-stockiest is located in a rural market. The sub-stockiest then performs the role of driving distribution.

Project Streamline was conceptualized to significantly enhance control on the rural supply chain through a network of rural sub-stockiest, who are based in these very villages.

27

Page 28: Final marketing file

As part of the project, higher quality servicing, in terms of frequency, credit and full-line availability, would be provided to rural trade. Thereby, giving us a substantial competitive edge over the next decadeThe role performed by the Redistribution Stockiest has also undergone changes over the years. 

Financing stocks, providing manpower, providing service to retailers, implementing promotional activities, extending indirect coverage, reporting sales and stock data, screening for transit damages are some of the functions performed by the RS today. 

The RS was required to provide the distribution units to the company salesman. The RS financed his stocks and provided warehousing facilities to store them. The RS also undertook demand stimulation activities on behalf of the company.

The RS would be able to provide customer service only if he was serviced well. This knowledge led to the establishment of the "Company Depots" system. This system helped in transshipment, bulk breaking, and as a stock point to minimize stock-outs at the RS level. 

In the recent past, a significant change has been the replacement of the Company Depot by a system of third party Carrying and Forwarding Agents (C&FAs). The C&FAs act as buffer stock-points to ensure that stock-outs did not take place.

The C&FA system has also resulted in cost savings in terms of direct transportation and reduced time lag in delivery. The most important benefit has been improved customer service to the RS. 

Certain C&FAs were selected across the country to act as mother depots. Each of them has a minimum number of JIT depots attached for stock requirements. All brands and packs required for the set of markets which the MD and JITs service in a given area are sent to the mother depot by all manufacturing units. The JITs draw their requirements from the MD on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

Page 30: Final marketing file

The MICRO Factors

Stakeholders:

As organization requires greater inward investment for growth they faceincreasing pressure to move from private ownership to public. However this movementunleashes the forces of shareholder pressure on the strategy of organizations. Satisfyingshareholder needs may result in a change in tactics employed by an organization. The Company sees no conflict between the twin goals of shareholder value enhancement and societal value creation. The challenge lies in fashioning a corporate strategy that enables realization of these goals in a mutually reinforcing and synergistic manner. 244,65,39,845 Ordinary Shares of the Company, representing 64.79% of the Company's paid up capital, as on 11th September, 2009 are in dematerialized form. The paid-up share capital of the Company is Rs.377, 62, 86,590(Rs.377.63 crores) divided into 377, 62, 86,590 Ordinary Shares of the face value of Re 1/- each.

Supplier: Raw materials, intermediates and the final product Sourcing/distribution in widespread across the Country Few items have more than 1 supplier for the raw Material e.g. filter rods can be sourced from Mumbai, Bangalore or Devas in MP. Huge supply-demand network for cigarette business,

30

Page 31: Final marketing file

Which must operate in the cost optimal way to maximize the profits . Few segments are particular to factories e.g. King-size. Consumer:

Organisations survive on the basis of meeting the needs, wants and providing benefits for their customers. Failure to do so will result in a failed business strategy.   I t s  businesses and brands are focused almost entirely on the Indian markets, and despite being most well-known for its tobacco brands such as Gold Flake, the business is now diversifying into new FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) brands in a number of market sectors.

The Macro Factors

This includes all factors that can influence and organization, but that are out of their direct control. A company does not generally influence any laws (although it is accepted that they could lobby or be part of a trade organization). It is continuously changing, and the company needs to be flexible to adapt. There may be aggressive competition and rivalry in a market. Globalization means that there is always the threat of substitute products and new entrants. The wider environment is also ever changing, and the marketer needs to compensate for changes in culture, politics, economics and technology.

Economic Factors:  Marketers need to consider the state of a trading economy in the short and long-terms. This is especially true when planning for international marketing. India has been one of the best performers in the world economy in recent years, but rapidly rising inflation and the complexities of running the world’s biggest democracy are proving challenging. India’s economy has been one of the stars of global economics in recent years, growing 9.2% in2007 and 9.6% in 2006. Growth had been supported by markets reforms, huge inflows of FDI, rising foreign exchange reserves, both an IT and real estate boom, and a flourishing capital market.

31

Page 32: Final marketing file

 Socio-Cultural Factors:

The social and cultural influences on business vary from country to country. It is very important that such factors are considered Envisioning a larger societal purpose has always been a hallmark of ITC. Following are the factor which should be kept in mind while doing business in India:

1. India, being a multi-cultural and multi-religious society, celebrates holidays and festivals of various religions

2. India is one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world, with some of the most deeply religious societies and cultures. Religion still plays a central and definitive role in the life of most of its people.

3The demographicsof Indiais remarkablydiverse.India’spopulation of approximately1.17 billion people (estimate for July, 2009) consists of approximately one-sixth of the world’s population4.India is a young country with an average age between 23-24 years. As a corporate citizen with enduring relationships in rural India, ITC has a history of collaboration with communities and government institutions to enhance farm productivity and the rural resource base. ITC’s commitments in agricultural R&D and knowledge sharing have spanned vital aspects of competitiveness – efficient farm practices, soil and water management.

Technology factor:

Technology is vital for competitive advantage, and is a major driver of globalization. Technology in India accounts for a substantial part of the country's GDP and export earnings while providing employment to a significant number of its tertiary sector workforce. Technically proficient immigrants from India sought jobs in the western world from the 1950s onwards as India's education system produced more engineers than its industry could absorb. India’s growing stature in the information age enabled it to form close ties with both the United States of America and the European Union

32

Page 33: Final marketing file

IT plays a very critical role in driving the ITC business strategies. IT is an enabler of the business process to ensure business growth through

efficient management of operations in the value chain. IT creates new business process or restructure the current business process to

enhance customer service availability, efficient manufacturing / supply chain operations etc.

Political factors: 

The political arena has a huge influence upon the regulation of businesses, and the spending power of consumers and other businesses. The Indian polity is increasingly seen by political observers as the problem. When populist political appeals stir the passions of the masses, government institutions appear less capable than ever before of accommodating conflicts in a society mobilized along competing ethnic and religious lines.

Budget impact:

Among the FMCG stocks Marico and ITC are the biggest gainers. Marico has added 7.3% to Rs 77. ITC has surged 7% to Rs 212, after no change in excise cuts on cigarettes

Due to Govt. new conditions ITC Maurya winning the 'Best eco-friendly hotel – Special Prize' award by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India.

The internal environment

All factors that are internal to the organization are known as the 'internal environment'. They are generally audited by applying the 'Five Ms' which are

33

Page 34: Final marketing file

Men, Money, Machinery, Materials and Markets.

The internal environment is as important for managing change as the external. As marketers we call the process of managing internal change 'Internal marketing.'

Men:

ITC employs over 25,000 people at more than 60 locations across India. TheCompanycontinuously endeavors to enhance its wealth generating capabilities in a globalizingenvironment to consistently reward more than 3, 53,000 shareholders, fulfill the aspirations of its stakeholders and meet societal expectations.

Money:

ITC is one of India's foremost private sector companies with a market capitalization of nearly US $ 14 billion and a turnover of over US $ 5 billion. ITC is one of the country's biggest foreign exchange earners (US $ 3.2 billion in the last decade).

Machinery:

ITC is using world class machinery so that they can match with demand of the market. Their most of the facilities are fully automated.

Materials:

ITC is using quality raw material so that they can give world class quality product to their customers. They are very selective while selecting supplier for them.

Markets:

Its businesses and brands are focused almost entirely on the Indian markets, and despite being most well-known for its tobacco brands such as Gold Flake, the business is now diversifying into new FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods)

34

Page 35: Final marketing file

brands in a number of marketsectors - including cigarettes, hotels, paper, agriculture, packaged foods and confectionary, branded apparel, personal care, greetings cards, Information Technology, safety matches, incense sticks and stationery.

Sustainability of ITC

ITC is committed to sustain its position as one of India's most valuable corporations through world-class performance, creating growing value for the Company's stakeholders and the Indian economy. Over the last decade, Total Shareholder Returns, measured in terms of increase in market capitalization and dividends, grew at a compound rate of over 30% per annum, placing ITC among the foremost in the country in terms of efficiency in servicing financial capital. ITC aims to sustain its premier market standing and leadership position in each of the business segments.

Sustainability reporting by corporate is of significant relevance and meaning in these times of escalating global opportunities and challenges. Business leadership worldwide is confronted with the realization that the limits to sustainable growth will be determined less by access to financial capital and more by the commitment to preserve and augment social and ecological capital. Given the growing influence of corporations in driving economic, environmental and social change, investors and other stakeholders will expect the highest standards of ethics, transparency, sensitivity and responsiveness from corporate. It is my belief that stakeholders,

35

Page 36: Final marketing file

including consumers, will increasingly raise the bar of expectation in relation of sustainable development

ITC dedicates this Report to the cause of the Bharat Nirman programme initiated by the Prime Minister as a leading symbol of public-private partnership in India's development. It also acknowledges the contribution made by the employees of the ITC Group, whose initiative and commitment have enabled the Company make great strides in its sustainability performance.

Improvements to reduce heat gain/cooling losses from building envelops in hotels.

Impact of measures for reduction of energy consumption and consequent impact on the cost of production of goods.

CONCLUSION

ITC promoting their brands through advertisement campaign as well as door to door promotion.

ITC is also focusing on Retailers and Wholesalers to promote their brand.

The demand of their product in very low, because people don’t know about their brands very well.

ITC knows their strength and weakness in the personal care market, so they are applying new concept to overcome their weaknesses.

ITC now offering more margins, exiting offers and long credit period to retailers and wholesalers

37

Page 38: Final marketing file

Advertisement for the Aashirvaad Atta is found to be ineffective and

infrequent. So, the company can come up with an aggressive advertisement to attract the Indian housewife as they are found to be the decision maker in the buying of Atta.

The company can come up the concept of forming a Retail chain of Food products across all over India as it is follows the marketing strategy of Umbrella branding. In such retail chains all the food division products can be sold at the discounted rate, as more and more products are coming under the Umbrella products like food processing.

The company can approach the government or distributing their products in Military canteens and can sell them to organization that provides the afternoon meals to the children as a part of mid-day meal scheme.
