Chapter ~ 1Industry Profile:
The economies of the present day world are driven by scientific research and
technology. Research and development is nowadays of great importance in business as thelevel of competition, production processes and methods are rapidly increasing. It is of special
importance in the field of marketing where companies keep an eagle eye on competitors and
customers in order to keep pace with modern trends and analyze the needs, demands and
desires of their customers.
Unfortunately, research and development are very difficult to manage, since the defining
feature of research is that the researchers do not know in advance exactly how to accomplish
the desired result. As a result, higher R&D spending does not guarantee "more creativity,
higher profit or a greater market share".
New product design and development is more often than not a crucial factor in the survival of
a company. In an industry that is changing fast, firms must continually revise their design and
range of products. This is necessary due to continuous technology change and development
as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers. Without an R&D
program, a firm must rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the
innovations of others.
A system driven by marketing is one that puts the customer needs first, and only produces
goods that are known to sell. Market research is carried out, which establishes what is
needed. If the development is technology driven then it is a matter of selling what it is
possible to make. The product range is developed so that production processes are as efficient
as possible and the products are technically superior, hence possessing a natural advantage inthe market place.
In general, R&D activities are conducted by specialized units or centres belonging to
companies, universities and state agencies. In the context of commerce, "research and
development" normally refers to future-oriented, longer-term activities in science or
technology, using similar techniques to scientific research without predetermined outcomes
and with broad forecasts of commercial yield.
In the U.S., a typical ratio of research and development for an industrial company is about
3.5% of revenues. A high technology company such as a computer manufacturer might spend
7%. Although Allergan (a biotech company) tops the spending table with 43.4% investment,
anything over 15% is remarkable and usually gains a reputation for being a high technology
company. Companies in this category include pharmaceutical companies such
As Merck & Co. (14.1%) or Novartis (15.1%), and engineering companies like Ericsson
(24.9%).Such companies are often seen as credit risks because their spending ratios are so
unusual.
On a technical level, high tech organizations explore ways to re-purpose and repackage
advanced technologies as a way of amortizing the high overhead. They often reuse advanced
manufacturing processes, expensive safety certifications, specialized embedded software,
computer-aided design software, electronic designs and mechanical subsystems.
Market research is the process of collecting and analysing information about the customers
we want to reach, called the target market. This information provides us with the business

intelligence needed to make informal decision. Market research can help to create a business
new markets, develop an advertising campaign, set prices, and/or select a business location.
Researchers do the study on certain aspects such as:
Understanding the target market.
Study on demographics. Geographic. Customer needs.
1.1Types of Market Research:Market research methods fall into two basic categories:
1. Primary Research
2. Secondary Research
The research might involve one or both, depending on the company needs.
Primary research involves collecting original data about the preferences, buying habits,
opinions and other attitudes of current or prospective customers. This data can be gathered in
focus groups, surveys and field tests.
Secondary research is based on existing data from reference books, magazines and
newspapers, industry publication, chambers of commerce, government agencies or tradeassociations. It yields information about industry sales trend and growth rates, demographics
profiles and regional business statistics.
1.2The five basic methods of market research:While there are many ways to perform market research, most business use one or more of
five basic methods. They are:
1. Survey

It can help to identify:
Growth trends in the business sector Size of the target market Best location for the business How the business stacks up against the competition Factor that influence buying decisions Degree of demand for the product or service

CHAPTER~2
COMPANY PROFILE:
2.1 Background and inception of the Company:
This company was founded in 1923 in Chicago, by , Sr., in order to give marketers reliable
and objective information on the impact of marketing and sales programs. AC Nielsen
began expanding internationally in 1939, and now operates in more than 100 countries.
When you shop till you drop, ACNielsen keeps track of every step. A subsidiary of business
information giant Nielsen, ACNielsen is a leading collector of retail sales data. It compiles
data from retail store scanners and in-store audits in about 100 countries, providing
information on market share, pricing, and promotional effectiveness. It also collects
information on brand loyalty, purchases, and demographics through a consumer panel that
spans about 300,000 households in more than 25 countries. In addition, ACNielsen offers
custom research services and support software designed to help its clients use its data. Sister
company Nielsen Media Research measures TV viewing habits.
ACNielsen's best known creations are the Nielsen ratings, an Audience measurement system
that measures television, radio and newspaper audiences in their respective media markets. In
1950 they began attaching recording devices to a statistical sample of about 1200 consumer
television sets in the U.S. These devices used photographic film in mail-in cartridges to
record the channels viewed by the consumer and thus determine audience size. Later they
-

developed electronic methods of data collection and transmission. In 1996, ACNielsen split
off this part of its operations into a separate company called Nielsen Media Research (NMR),
which operated as an independent company until it was acquired by Dutch conglomerate
VNU in 1999.
Another market research tool is the Homes can program where sample members track andreport all grocery and retail purchases, allowing purchasing patterns to be related to
household demographics. Homes can cover several countries including Australia, Canada, the
United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2004, ACNielsen chose the Cipher Lab CPT-8001
as its data collection terminal for the Homes can program throughout Asia.

A great product is a great place to start, but it's critical to get the right product in front of the
right shopper.
No matter how strong a product, it must be marketed to the right shopper in the right context
if it is to succeed. Understanding shopper behaviour allows retailers and manufacturers to
optimize in-store layout, communications, assortment, pricing and promotions to boost sales.
But how do you decide where to expand next or how to increase per-store sales? What packsize, price point or channel makes the most sense based on how segments are evolving? What
is the right strategy for growing and expanding your brand and product offerings?
2.2.2 Brand & Portfolio Management:

2.2.3 Pricing & Promotion Strategies:
Hitting the pricing sweet spot requires a detailed analysis of not only your competition, but
also emerging economic and consumer trends.

economic conditions, trends in label growth, and commodity cost fluctuations, pricing and
sales strategies require in-depth and current knowledge of the market. So what is the optimal
price point for your products, and how will your customers respond to changes? How should
you price a new product, or a product re-launch? Whats the best way to promote your
products during a price increase, and which promotions are the most effective?
2.2.4 Product Innovation & Renovation:
With the marketplace and your competition in constant motion, you cant afford to have
your products stand still.
The marketplace and your competitors are in constant motion, so you cant afford to have
your products stand still. But launching a new product or refreshing an existing one requires a
deep understanding of the market, and an execution strategy based on the best data available.
So how should you develop and market your product to ensure a strong performance? What
is the volume potential of your initiative and the best way to position it vis--vis your
competitors? What would be the best launch strategy, including distribution, advertising and
investment?
2.2.5 Social Media Intelligence:
It is essential today to know what consumers are saying about your brand on social media.
Conversations on customer review sites, blogs and social networks are shaping your public
image and impacting sales. But how can you use social media metrics to derive these
insights? How should you use this analysis to make marketing decisions? Which channels
and platforms are most effective, and how can social media best be integrated with othermarketing extensions?
2.2.6 Growth & Demand Strategy:
"For your brand to reach the next level, you need to know where consumer demand is
heading.
Which products and services will consumers be craving next year? In five years? Armed with
reliable forecasts, you can direct your resources more efficientlyand boost success
dramatically.

Group and sponsored by EBU (European Broadcasting Union), and other institutions, such as
ARF (Advertising Research Foundation), ESOMAR (European Society for Opinion &
Marketing Research) and WFA (World Federations of Advertisers). The last document was
published in 1999 and updating every decade. Referring to GGTAM, AGBNielsen not only
operates by recent standardization, but also adapts technological implementation, either forhardware (metering technology) or software (software production and analysis), with TV
environment in each country. The factors affect the TV environment, for example, are digital
based broadcast, Pay TV (satellite or cable) and telecommunication infrastructure for data
transferring.
In practice, TAM is not only about research methodology which base on international
standard in GGTAM, but also about the dynamic changes in technology in every two years.
Apart from that, the result on production & delivery process must also have the same analysis
standard in every country as it is impossible for advertisers whose products are marketed in
some countries to evaluate its TV commercial effectiveness through many benchmarks or
currencies. With its methodology referred to global standard, the system that is used by
AGBNielsen is the result of many years of accumulated relevant experiences, researches and
developments together with the ability to evolve with the changes in TV and research
technology and the users needs of the TAM systems.

Nielsen 7s Frame Work:
The 7s Framework of Mckinsey is a management model that describe & factors to organize
a company in a holistic and effective way. Together these factors determine the way in which
a corporation operates. Managers should take into account all seven of these factors, to be
sure of successful implementation of a strategy. Large or small, theyre all interdependent, so
if you fail to pay proper attention to one of them, this may affect all others well. On top of
that, the relative importance of each factor may vary over time.
3.1 Origin of the 7s Framework:
The 7s Framework was first mentioned in the Art of Japanese Management by Richard
Pascal and Anthony Athos in 1981, they had been investigating how Japanese industry had
been so successful. At the same time the Tom Peters and Waterman were exploring what
made a company excellent. The 7s model was born at a meeting of these four authors in1978. It appeared also in In search of Excellence by Peters and Waterman and was taken up
as a basic took by the global management consultancy company McKinesy. Since then it is
known as their 7s model.
There are 7 basic dimensions, which represents the core of managerial activities. These are
the levellers, which executes us to influence complex and large organizations. Obviously,
there was a concerted effort on the model to coin the managerial variables with words
beginning with the letters S, so as to increase the communication power of the model.

Learning Experience:
The in-plant training has created the sense of practical exposure and enlighten in my mind as
to what actually an organization is. Importance of different management function such asplanning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling was known which guide the
organization in facing competition. I know how a workflow model helps in organizing the
work, by determining the authority and responsibility for staff.
Implant training has also helped me in knowing the importance of team effort when
compared to individual effort in an organization. Also importance of human relation was
realized which helps in getting the things done through others. I also came to know different
employees/workers have different skills, talents, abilities, attitude etc. & how they are being
coordinated and utilized in an optimal manner, in achieving personal as well as organizational
goal. I also understand the importance of leadership traits, which guide in achieving personalas well as organizational goals. Also I have come to know how an individual should be
dynamic in corporate sector, which should guide me in my career planning and development.
I have also come to know how information technology and various systems have reduced the
man power activity and documentation time.
I have observed how marketing department bridge the gap between organization and
customer by various promotion tool as well regular feedback from customer. Thus, I have
realized that the customers are bread and butter of the organization. I have also understood
the importance of time management, which helps the entire organization in meeting the
deadlines.
I have also learnt about how marketing takes place in a research organization. I also learnt
about how to interact with various executives of various industry segments and collected the
required data and do a thorough research based on their feedback.
After in plant training, I have felt empowered with confidence to understand different
management concept in a pragmatic manner. By & large it was a useful experience of
undergoing in plant training at AC Nielsen as I could learn the way in which an organization
of its size actually functioned
