    Introduction to the Project

    The project has been assigned to me by Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co. ltd for my summer internship

    program with them. This project is a part of the Master in Business Administration (MBA)

    Program under JMI University. The project entails finding out the demand of Godrejs Modular

    and Desking solutions in offices around Delhi and NCR region for the period May to July2012.

    This demand analysis will be done with the help of a Business Research Questionnaire. The said

    Questionnaire will cover different attributes measurement techniques which will help me get

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    11/30

    11

    responses from respondents which in turn will be then normalized using different Quantitative

    tools. Such normalized results will portray a clear picture of Current Consumer demand and will

    also help us know the changing business environment.

    The project will help me develop Communication Skills, will enhance my marketing

    abilities, will give me a good exposure of market dynamics and will allow me to use the theory I

    have learns so far.

    Description of project

    Project Focus

    The modular and Desking Solutions of Godrej comes under Interior Division. Apart from

    Desking & modular solutions there are also Seating, Storage and Interiors Solutions provided by

    Godrej.

    Godrej also work as Turn Key Consultants for office Interiors, solving all interiors related needs

    of consumers under one roof.

    Our focus in this report will be limited only towards the -Modular and Desking

    Solutions of Godrej in offices.

    Modular and Desking Solutions- Modular Furnitures comes in breakdown or knockdown

    format which means that the whole work station is broken into several parts which can be

    assembled as per the needs of the consumers.

    While catering to such needs the space utilization, design of office, furnishing requirements e.t.c

    such factors are considered. Godrej is one of the best dealers in Modular and Desking solutions.

    With more and more penetration of IT and allied services in India, the need of modular settings

    has risen. This is because this sector uses most of the OPOS and modular solutions. And

    Desking solution as we know is a must need for every office.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    12/30

    12

    More over now-a-days even small offices are shifting to OPOS designs as these provide better

    space utility and are less costly than concrete divisions. All the more these settings are even

    easier to modify and also gives a trendy creating a congenial work environment.

    Some advantages of OPOS solutions:

    Flexible set up.

    Better sharing and utilization of resources.

    High level of customization.

    Easy modification.

    Less costly.

    Objectives of the Project

    The primary objective of the project was to find out the demand of Godrejs Modular and

    desking solutions in offices in Delhi and surrounding areas during the period May -July2012.

    Secondary to the primary objective the project will help us evaluate

    Some advantages of OPOS solutions:

    Flexible set up.

    The changing business environment.

    Understanding consumer preferences.

    Define Godrejs Interio segment.

    Recommend changes in key areas to improve its consumer base and market share.

    Methodology

    Step 1- Collection of data from market.

    Step 2- Storage of the collected Data.

    Step 3- Analysis of data collected so far.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    13/30

    13

    Step 4- Preparation of project report.

    step 1 elaborate

    The data collection process was done with the help of a well designed Questionnaire.

    The Questionnaire was designed taking considerations of

    Survey time

    Respondent willingness

    Project objective

    The Questionnaire uses different types of Questions needed to conduct a research. I had used

    the following type of Questions-

    Lead in Questions (Q no. 1)

    Qualifying Questions (Q no. 2 &3)

    Warm up Questions (Q no. 4&5)

    Specific Questions and (Q no.6-15)

    Demographic Questions (Demographic profile)

    The set of Warm up and Specific Questions uses different attitude measurement scales to

    capture the consumer responses. These attitude measurement scales assign numbers or symbols

    to some attributes of an object. Thus scaling involves developing a continuum based on whichmeasured objects are located. I had used a few attitude measurement scales like-

    Pictorial Scale

    Rank order scale

    Constant sum scale

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    14/30

    14

    Paired comparison scale.

    The questionnaire has been kept short so as to grip respondents interest and curtail

    biasness arising out of disinterest. A copy of the Questionnaire has been attached with this

    report. After the questionnaire is prepared the next part is how to get samples/responses?

    Responses will be collected in the following manner-

    Source- all responses will be collected from primary sources. In this case the primary

    sources will be the,Facility managers / Project managers / Administrative managers.Architects /

    Designers / Builders.Apart from the primary data, secondary data over the companys past

    performances will be collected through companys website, journals, editorials e.t.c.

    Mode of communication The managers are contacted personally either by visiting the

    office or over the phone. After that an appointment is fixed to have a tete-a-tete with the

    respective person.

    Sample- An estimated sample count of 40 had been suggested by my faculty guide. (A copy of

    the questionnaire has been attached at the end of the report)

    Step 2 el abo r ate

    The collected data was stored safely and intact so as to allow minimum deviation of

    results.While in interview process all data were scripted in a hand note book, which later on

    were transferred into excel sheets. Excel transformation helped best usage of quantitative tools

    to analyze data. Also tabular presentation in excel allows viewer a clear vies and better

    judgment. As per the suggestions on my project guide the data was collected for the first two

    weeks of the project. This allowed me to collect data over a good number of samples. More will

    be the number of samples, better will be the analysis.

    Step 3 el abo r ate

    The analysis part is purely done under guidance of my project guide and faculty guide. This

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    15/30

    15

    analysis part entailed best usage of the data collected so far so as to produce best results.

    Different quantitative tools were used to calculate the median of responses. These were then

    normalized and with usage of various tools congeal attributes were defined. With focusing on

    such attributes the company can change their expansion plans accordingly and get a strong hold

    on its consumers.

    St ep 4 elabor at e

    Based on the findings of the analysis, the report is encrypted by me in an expressive and simple

    manner. Better presentations of results are as necessary as is the core task. More expressive is

    the presentation, more interested will be the readers in getting the essence of the project. This

    ultimately will serve the purpose of the project.

    Field Survey

    In accordance to the requirement of the project, data has been collected from various offices of

    all types of companies, firms and organizations. For this personal visits had been made to all the

    offices with the Questionnaire.With the help of the Questionnaire data had been collected

    successfully from 60 respondents. The number of respondents are approximately (1/3) of the

    total number of offices visited. All the visits cannot be made successful because of various

    reasons like-

    1. Non availability of the Facility Managers.

    2. Wrong sample chosen by me. Wrong sample arrive in cases where-

    a. If the organization is too small.

    b. If the place is a manufacturing unit and not an office.

    c. If the number of employees are too small in number, e.g. below 20nos.

    d. If the organization does not require Modular and Desking solutions at all. e.g.-

    pathological laboratories, Jewelers showrooms e.t.c

    e. If the relevant Furnishing Decisions are taken centrally from some other

    office, not in Faridabad. e.g ICICI bank

    f. If the furnishing requirements are met directly by the Building/Apartment management or

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    16/30

    16

    the Landlord himself.

    Thus because of the aforesaid reasons all efforts does not remain fruitfull and thus a mere

    success rate of 33% remains in Data collection procedure. The entire group of the current

    samples has answered almost all the Questions in the Questionnaire and the same had been

    stored.

    Industry overview

    17/30

    17

    The furniture industry in India is considered as a non-organized sector as it represents a small

    percentage (about 0.5%) of contribution to the formation of GDP. Moreover, the production is

    increasing every year. The furniture industry is categorized into various categories amongst

    which handicraft production is the major category which accounts for about 85% of the total

    furniture production in India. (India Furniture Industry)

    The wooden furniture is the major part of this non-organized sector, which caters mainly to

    home furniture demand. Demand for household furniture is easily affected by economic

    conditions such as disposable income, interest rates, employment level, income growth, etc.

    (India Furniture Industry)

    The total size of the Indian furniture industry is estimated at around INR 750 billion. From this,

    the share of the wooden furniture market is around INR 900 million. Eighty five percent of this

    falls into the unorganized sector. The furniture market is growing by 12-15 per cent per annum

    and is likely to grow to INR 950 billion by 2012. In fact, around 400,000 workers are held by the

    furniture industry. (Indian Furniture Industry .)

    5.3.2.Product segments

    The furniture industry consists of eight sectors: Corporate or office furniture (15%); hotel

    furniture (15%); and other furniture which mainly includes furniture parts (5%). The upholstered

    furniture and the bedroom furniture make up approximately 30% and 20% respectively of the

    total production. The remainder is comprised of kitchen furniture, with almost the same

    weight; 6% as dining room furniture 6% and other furniture (garden, home office, small

    furniture) which accounts for 3% of the total production.

    5.3.3.Furniture manufacturing

    In India, the furniture supply covers up all range of possible uses. Three main type of

    material were used as the supply of furniture; Approximate 65% of the furniture made from

    wood, 25% from metal and the remaining 10% from plastic. Wood and Wood Products,

    Furniture and Fixtures" carry a weight of 27% in the total manufacturing sector.

    Household production largely produces sofas, dining tables and seating whilst professional

    production mainly produces for offices and companies. Various sectors can be found in the

    Indian furniture industry. Within these sectors, manufacturers are not as specialized in the

    production of a particular kind of furniture as in other industrially advanced countries. The

    largest segment with the number of medium and large companies is the office furniture

    sector.

    Indian furniture industry

    Modular or Open Plan Office Systems

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    19/30

    19

    Modular furnitures come in breakdown or knockdown format which means that the whole

    furniture system say a work station is broken down into several parts which can be broken down

    into several parts which can again be assembled as per the needs of the client, space allocation

    design of office etc i.e. customers of modular furnitures can customize the product. Godrej &

    Boyce MFG Co. Ltd.was the pioneer in introducing the concept of Modular furniture in India in

    1982 but it did not go ahead with it as the market demand for such modern age equipment was

    low. But in the past few years, with the growth of IT and Services industry in India, a massive

    boom in the demand for such modular furniture increased at tremendous pace because of the

    concept of teamwork, groups,huddles, meetings, which rose in specially from the IT, ITES sector.

    Also the skyrocketing real estate prices have forced organizations like banks, large corporate, to

    ponder on resource sharing. These concepts gave rise to the idea of workstations which would be

    allocated in bays where each team can be separately allocated but at the same time there can be

    optimal utilization of resources. The modular systems were a perfect solution to it where

    customization is the main advantage as it can optimize allocation of space. The workstations can

    have various types of arrangements, alignments, and nature of tiles, add on trays, pentagonal for

    keyboards, white boards, glass partition, e.t.c. The workshop is made of MDF or PLB i.e. Medium

    Density Fibre or Prelaminated Particle Board

    Some Advantages of Modular Systems in Corporate offices

    1. Flexible and provides optimum allocation of space.

    2. Sharing of Resources: Common panel, white board or worktop shared by two ormore employees.

    3. Highly improved wire management system: There are two level wire carriers which

    enable data and power separation. Facilities mounting of switches has got open

    fascia for easy maintenance and has got external wire manager for additional wire

    management.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    20/30

    20

    4. Ease of assembly, move and relocate.

    5. Need based customization

    Results and Analysis

    Based on the data collected and conversion of those into meaningful graphs and charts the

    analysis had been done.We will ponder on all the questions of the questionnaire one at a time.

    Respondents Analysis

    Till date the Questionnaire was served before approximately 100 companies. But data can be

    collected from only 40 respondents.

    Total = 100

    Respondents = 40(40%)

    Non-Respondents = 60(60%)

    Respondents Analysis

    Thus we see that there is a just approximately 36% chance of getting a response.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    21/30

    21

    References play a pivotal role in getting better number of samples for a research. One key to

    that is to ask for reference at the end of each interview from the interviewee. More often than

    not this helps.

    Furnishings Procurements Analysis

    The first Question of the survey asked how do they procure their furnishings requirement. The

    question was an closed ended one with options as Internally and Outsourcing. Where internally

    meant that the organizations do not hire professional interior developers or architects to make

    their furniture. They rather built on their own. Again Outsourcing would mean that theorganization the complete or part of its furnishings requirements to architects or interior

    decorators or contractors Of the total number of respondents 16 said that they procure their

    furniture requirements internally and the remaining 35 either procured through contracting or

    were served by the Buildings Facility Management Department.

    Procure Internally- 23 (27%)

    Procure by outsourcing- 63 (73%)

    Total- 86

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    22/30

    222

    Out of the total sample size, 27% organizations do develop their interiors by self. One of the

    main reasons for such practice that came afloat was the cost involved in outsourcing. Of the 23,

    (27%%) respondents who preferred internally, most of these were either small or medium sized

    organizations.

    Godrej Brand penetration

    The second question of the survey was Do you use any of Godrej Furniture solutions?. The

    question was intended to see how many are currently the users of some or the other products of

    Godrej Interio. This shows the knowhow of the brand itself, which will let us know how much

    people are familier with the Godrej Interio brand. The reason being that if customers had used a

    product of a particular brand earlier and are satisfied with the product, then he/she will have the

    same expectations with the other product of that brand umbrella. Also deep market penetration

    help a brand to introduce new products easily. An example can be of Maggi fast food. Where

    Maggi was basically serving vermicellis in market, but when it introduces its Maggi Tomato

    ketchup it was readily accepted by the customers. One reason being customers knowhow for

    the Maggi brand. This is where Brand helps.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    23/30

    232

    Thus from the above we find that out of total 60 samples the users are distributed in

    the given fashion.

    Total = 60

    Users = 52 (87%)

    Non-Users = 08 (13%)

    Total Current Users product wise

    Out of the total, here we see that the seating segment has maximum=m penetration in the market

    with appx 36% share of the Branded furniture market. This is just followed by Desking with

    19%. We may say from this that even in the current segment a large part of market is with the

    competitors which Godrej must look in for.Again we see that the market share for Technoseries

    is NIL. This means that there are no users of Godrejs Technoseries. It is worth mentioning that

    Godrej Interio is the only company which possesses a Hi-tech product like this. This

    Godrej should take due emphasis on properly marketing its Technoseries series.

    Godrej market ratings

    Modular's users= 9(15%) Techno series users=4(5%)

    Desking users=15(26%) Security users=5(7%)

    Seating users=14(24%) Storage users=13(23%)

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    24/30

    242

    Respondents were asked to mark what expression comes on their face with the name on Godrej

    Interio. There were five facial expressions from very sad to very happy. Each of these were

    allocated points from 1 to 5- 1 being lowest, for very sad expression. This pictorial scale denotes

    how much a brand is liked by the consumers. Since Modulars and Desking solutions are wholly

    an B2B segment, here the brand perception in the mind of Facility managers or Admin heads

    or Contractors play a pivotal role in bringing new customers.

    4321

    The result of the survey has been transformed into a 5 point graph where we see that the graph

    line seldom touches the 2 mark. The line is continuously between 3 and 4 mark. Thisindicates are fairly happy with the brand and have a good perception of the brand

    Factor Rating

    Here we listed down five furniture attributes and each attribute was ranked on a five point

    scale. Each respondent ranked each attribute based on his usage experience with godrej.This sort

    of scale shows us the attributes of our products which consumers are unhappy with. This helps

    us ponder on that particular attribute and make required changes, if possible.

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    25/30

    25

    Here the company should take care of the top two colours of each bar. As these colours

    denote unsatisfied & Highly unsatisfied ranks. We can see that the top two colours spread

    maximum in Price bar and the Designs bar. Which means that there is a need to revise the Prices

    and Design portfolio of our products. Also consumers say that when they are paying premium

    prices why should they compromise with Delivery Schedules and After sale services. Thus due

    emphasis should be given to these attributes.

    14 3

  • 7/31/2019 3 Sem Report 27

    26/30

    The Godrej Advantage

    Next we used a multiple choice question where 7 different reasons of choosing

    Godrej were stated. Respondents were asked to tick one of the 7 which would be hisreason of going with Godrej.This type of scale shows us our strengths. The

    attribute which gains maximum points is the strength of our products.
