    OVERVIEW OF INDIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

    The automobile industry has changed the way people live and work. Theearliest of modern cars was manufactured in the year 1895. Shortly the firstappearance of the car followed in India. As the century truned, three carswere imported in Mumbai (India). Within decade there were total of 1025cars in the city.

    The dawn of automobile actually goes back to 4000 years when the firstwheel was used for transportation in India. In the begining of 15th centuryPortuguese arrived in China and the interaction of the two cultures led to avariety of new technologies, including the creation of a wheel that turnedunder its own power. By 1600s small steam-powered engine models wasdeveloped, but it took another century before a full-sized engine-powered

    vehicle was created.

    The actual horseless carriage was introduced in the year 1893 by brothersCharles and Frank Duryea. It was the first internal-combustion motor car ofAmerica, and it was followed by Henry Ford's first experimental car thatsame year.

    One of the highest-rated early luxury automobiles was the 1909 Rolls-RoyceSilver Ghost that featured a quiet 6-cylinder engine, leather interior, foldingwindscreens and hood, and an aluminum body. It was usually driven bychauffeurs and emphasis was on comfort and style rather than speed.

    During the 1920s, the cars exhibited design refinements such as balloontires, pressed-steel wheels, and four-wheel brakes. Graham Paige DCPhaeton of 1929 featured an 8-cylinder engine and an aluminum body.

    The 1937 Pontiac De Luxe sedan had roomy interior and rear-hinged backdoor that suited more to the needs of families. In 1930s, vehicles were less

    boxy and more streamlined than their predecessors. The 1940s saw features

    like automatic transmission, sealed-beam headlights, and tubeless tires.

    The year 1957 brought powerful high-performance cars such as Mercedes-Benz 300SL. This was the Indian automobile history, and today modern carsare generally light, aerodynamically shaped, and compact.

    .

    HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

    Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in February

    1981, though the actual production commenced in 1983. Through 2004,

    Maruti has produced over 5 Million vehicles. Marutis are sold in India and

    various several other countries, depending upon export orders. Cars similar

    to Marutis (but not manufactured by Maruti Udyog) are sold by Suzuki in

    Pakistan and other South Asian countries.

    Around 1970, Sanjay Gandhi, political advisor and younger son to the then

    Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, envisioned the manufacture of an

    indigenous, cost-effective, low maintenance compact car for the Indian

    middle-class. Indira Gandhi's cabinet passed a unanimous resolution for the

    development and production of a "People's Car". Sanjay Gandhi's company

    was christened Maruti Limited. The name of the car was chosen as "Maruti",

    after a Hindu deity named Marut.

    At that time Hindustan Motors' Ambassador was the chief car, and the

    company had come out with a new entrant, the Premier Padmini which was

    slowly gaining a part of the market share dominated by the Ambassador. For

    the next ten years, the Indian car market had stagnated at a volume of 30,000

    to 40,000 cars for the decade ending 1983.

    Sanjay Gandhi was awarded the exclusive contract and licence to design,

    develop and manufacture the "People's Car". This exclusive rights of

    production generated some criticism in certain quarters, which was directly

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    13/81

    targeted at Indira Gandhi. Over the next few years, the company was

    sidelined due to the Bangladesh Liberation War and emergency. In the early

    days under the powerful patronage of Sanjay Gandhi, the company was

    provided with free land, tax breaks and funds. Till the end of 1970s, the

    company had not started the production and a prototype test model was met

    with criticism and skepticism. The company went into liquidation in 1977.

    The media perceived it to be another area of growing corruption. [4]

    Unfortunately, Maruti started to fly only after the death of Sanjay Gandhi,

    when Suzuki Motors joined the Government of India as a joint venture

    partner with 50% share.[5] .

    After his death, Indira Gandhi decided that the project should not be allowed

    to die. Maruti entered into this collaboration with Suzuki Motors, The

    collaboration heralded a revolution in the Indian car industry by producing

    the Maruti 800. The car went on sale on December 14, 1983. It created a

    record by taking 13 months time to go from design to rolling out cars from a

    production line. By the year 1993 the company had sold up to 1,96,820 cars,

    mostly by selling its chief product the Maruti 800s. By March 1994, it

    produced one million vehicles, becoming the first Indian company to cross

    this milestone. It reached the two million mark in October, 1997 and rolled

    out its 4 millionth vehicle, an Alto-LX, on April 19, 2003.

    Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from seven prospective

    partnersworldwide. This was due not only to their undisputed leadership

    insmall cars but also to their commitment to actively bring to

    MULcontemporary technology and Japanese management practices(which

    had catapulted Japan over USA to the status of the top automanufacturing

    country in the world).A licence and a Joint Venture agreement was signed

    between Govt ofIndia and Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor

    Corporationof Japan) in Oct 1982.MUL launched its first car Maruti800

    Technology

    Maruthi always introduces the best technology into its product line, in

    addition to all its features which are almost standard in most cars. They

    introduced 16* 4 Hypertech engines across the entire Maruti Suzuki range.

    These are 4 valve engines powered by 16 bit chip. This gives an ideal

    combination of power and performance. They also introduced electronic

    power steering system (EPS) which gives better maneuverability. Their

    latest introduction Swift has all the technology like surround protection

    (SSP). This includes ABS, dual front airbags, collapsible steering column,

    crashworthy structure etc. They also has additional features like brake force

    distribution, key less entry system. The six microprocessors are connected in

    a high speed canbus. This controls engine, EBS, EPS, Auto AC, Security

    and dead lock and air bag. Automatic climate control, rally based suspension

    system and above all the dynamic design is what the latest entrant offers its

    customers. Maruti also uses latest in IT for its operations. It uses the oracle

    based packages for CRM and employee feed back. Maruti also uses oracles

    ERP packages for its operations. ATFCAN and Maruti are collaborating on

    Canadian CNG conversion technology.

    Design and development

    Maruti Suzuki is outsourcing its design and development activities to India.

    They are looking towards India as their design hub. Among the company's

    product development challenges, the need for shorter cycle times is always

    at the top. Management wants to be able to launch new models faster and

    reduce the time required for minor changes and development of product

    variants. Another challenge is co-development. Maruti's goal is to

    collaborate closely with its global teams and suppliers on the development

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    24/81

    of new platforms and product freshening. Other challenges include

    streamlining the process of vehicle localization and enhancing quality and

    reliability.

    These challenges pointed directly to a product lifecycle management (PLM)

    solution with capabilities for information management, process

    management, knowledge capture and support for global collaboration; a

    PLM solution directly addressing Maruti's business challenges. For example,

    PLM's information management capabilities address the issue of the many

    platforms, local variants and export destinations. Process management

    permits concurrent development and faster change management and

    provides a platform for other process improvements - for faster vehicle

    development. Knowledge capture increases innovation and also reduces

    costs by increasing part re-use. PLM's collaboration capabilities permit

    global development by ensuring fast and accurate dissemination of product

    information. For this Maruti uses one of the leading PLM software package

    by UGS.

    At Maruti, styling is a cross-discipline function that requires designers,

    engineers and model makers to pool their resources in a multitude of

    activities that have to be performed in order to transform creative ideas into

    finished products. These styling-related activities include storyboarding,

    conceptualizing, rendering, tape drawing, model making, feasibility analysis,

    CAD data generation and Class-A surfacing. In addition, Maruti designs

    new accessories and adds value to its products interiors and exteriors

    by designing/developing fabrics, colors and graphics. Some of the most

    recent examples of Maruti styling are seen in change programs for the Zen,

    Wagon R and Esteem product lines. Other Maruti styling efforts are in

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    25/81

    various stages of development. Maruti used to employ a variety of software

    for its styling programs, including SCAD (Suzuki CAD), Alias, Unigraphics

    and Catia. However, today Marutis styling and engineering functions are

    doing almost all their work in UGS NX solutions.

    Manufacturing

    Markets

    Maruti has a strong domestic market presence in India. It has a market share

    of 47% in the domestic market. The current market share of Indian car

    industry is given below, Maruti Exports Limited is the subsidary of Maruti

    Udyog Limited with its major focus on exports and it does not operate in the

    domestic Indian market. The first commercial consignments of 480 cars

    were sent to Hungary. By sending a consignment of 571 cars to the same

    country Maruti crossed the benchmark of 3, 00,000 cars. Since its inception

    export was one of the aspects government was keen to encourage. Angola,

    Benin, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Europe, Kenya, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Uganda,

    Chile, Costa Rica and El Salvador are some of the markets served by Maruti

    Exports.

    Maruti also has markets in other countries depending on export demand.

    Suzuki is selling cars similar to Maruti in Pakistan and South Asian

    countries. They have a major non European market which grew 78% in 05-

    06. Loss of sales in Europe is due to stoppage of Alto which accounted for

    80% of their exports and introduction of Swift. Algeria has emerged as

    Maruti's largest overseas market with sales growing from a few hundred in

    FY02 to over 6,500 (FY06). The company says it may cross 9,800 this year.

    Maruti is quite bullish on markets like, Chile, Morocco, Egypt and Sudan

    apart from the neighbouring countries. The auto major expects its exports toChile and Morocco to go above 5,900 and 2,300, respectively, this year. Its

    volumes from there have moved from under 700 in FY02 to 3,115 (FY06)

    and exports to Sudan was nil two years back. "In Egypt, our numbers are

    estimated to grow to over 2,000 and 2,700 this year," according to Mr

    Khattar. In FY07 it was under 200 few years back.

    Meanwhile, Maruti is also reporting a high on current year exports to the

    neighboring countries is on a high too. The company expects to export 9,200

    units to Sri Lanka this year, a growth of over 50%, 1,200 units to Nepal,

    over 1,175 to Bhutan and 700 to Bangladesh. Maruti, which saw exports dip

    by 29% last fiscal, also plans to launch a new export model during '08-09 ,

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    27/81

    which will target the European market. The company targets to export 1,

    00,000 units of the model annually.

    Overall passenger car market registered 24.86% growth

    Sales of compact cars jumped by 31.2%

    Mid-size car segment grew slower at 14.7%.

    The Government's small car policy seems to be yielding results, with the

    share of compact cars increasing to 68.25 per cent in the April-July 2006

    period compared with 64.9 per cent in the same period last year.

    Not surprisingly, compact cars emerged as the main driver of passenger car

    growth in the period. While the overall passenger car market increased by

    24.86 per cent to 3,24,671 units, sales of compact cars jumped by 31.2 per

    cent to 2,21,598 units in the April-July 2006 period. In fact, all the three

    major carmakers (Maruti Udyog, Hyundai Motor, and Tata Motors) saw a

    sizeable jump in their compact car sales in the period.

    COMPANY PROFILE

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    29/81

    HISTORY OF HYUNDAIThe beginning of Hyundai Motor Company dates to April 1946 whenfounder, Ju-Yung Chung established Hyundai Auto Service in Seoul, SouthKorea at the age of 31 years. The name Hyundai was chosen for itsmeaning which in English translates to modern. The Hyundai logo issymbolic of the company's desire to expand. The oval shape represents thecompany's global expansion and the stylized "H" is symbolic of two people(the company and customer) shaking hands.Hyundai Motor Company was founded by Ju-Yung Chung and younger

    brother Se-Yung Chung in December 1967. In 1968 the company enteredinto a contract with Ford motor company to assemble the Ford Cortina and

    Granada for the South Korean market and continued to produce them until1976. Hyundai completed construction of the Ulsan plant in six months andachieved the shortest groundbreaking to first commercial production of anyof Fords 118 plants. The eight year journey provided Hyundai withassembly knowledge, blueprints, technical specifications, productionmanuals, and trained Hyundai engineers.

    Hyundai founder, Ju-Yung Chung

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    30/81

    The leader of the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group was changed by founder,Ju-Yung Chung in 1999 after the Asian financial crisis and governmentmandated breakup of the Hyundai Group. Previously the automotive groupwas being managed by the founder's brother. His son, Mong-Koo Chunghad performed well managing Hyundai's after-sale service and dealerships.Mong-Koo was the catalyst of an extreme turnaround for the company.During the 80s and 90s, his uncle focused on Hyundai Automotive's growthand producing as many cars as possible. Product quality and customersatisfaction suffered. From his experience working with dealerships andangry Hyundai customers, Mong-Koo knew well the damage to the Hyundaireputation and the high cost of warranty repairs.

    When Mong-Koo began broadcasting his intention to turn Hyundai into atop-five automaker, few outside the company took him seriously. Hyundai,like many family-controlled Korean companies, was ultra-hierarchical andslow to change. Managers rarely cooperated with one another and divisionchiefs ran their operations as personal fiefdoms. "When a problem occurred,each division would blame other divisions," says Lee Hyun Soon, Koreanhead of R&D.

    Mong-Koo's first step was to replace members of top management withengineers. He formulated a strategy to challenge Toyota for quality.

    Extensive work with consultants, J.D. Powers, and benchmarking of theworld's best automotive companies followed. He also sent teams to Americato study weather, road conditions, and driver habits. Quality control staffincreased tenfold to 1,000 and they reported directly to him. Employeeswere encouraged and rewarded to offer suggestions. One example that istold is that a worker reported the Sonata and XG350 sedans had differentlyshaped spare tire covers. Sharing the cover saved Hyundai about $100,000

    per year.

    There are reports that the Korean government requested that Mong-Koo stepdown as Hyundai Automotive's chairman in 2000 so that it could be led by anon-family member. Mong-Koo refused, arguing that he was best qualifiedto lead the company.

    Mong-Koo Chung has earned a reputation for an obsession with quality.The new Sonata's launch in Korea was delayed for two months for 50 items

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    31/81

    management wanted fixed. Employees in the Asan factory workedfeverishly to correct items such as a tiny error in the size of the gap betweentwo pieces of sheet metal near the headlight. The problem was not visible tothe human eye and was narrower than 0.1 millimeter. Numerous managersand employees worked on the problem for 25 days before it was solved.

    The Hyundai Group spent most of its history operating as one of SouthKorea's largest chaebols, or conglomerates. The group displayed spectaculargrowth since its founding in 1947 and its rapid expansion--to a point whereits interests included car manufacturing, construction, shipbuilding,electronics, and financial services--reflected the achievements attainedduring South Korea's economic miracle. The South Korean economy took aturn for the worse during the late 1990s, however, which prompted PresidentKim Dae Jung to launch a series of reforms aimed at dismantled large, often

    corrupt, chaebols. By 2001, much of the Hyundai Group had beendismantled. Roh Moo Hyun, elected President in 2002, continues to reformthe South Korean business sector.

    Hyundai's growth was linked inextricably to South Korea's reconstructionprograms following World War II and the Korean War as well as to thestate-led capitalism that resulted in a polarization of the country's corporatestructure and the domination of the economy by a number of conglomerates.World War II left the country devastated, and the small recovery Korea had

    been able to make following this conflict was reversed during the Korean

    War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. The chaebols, which are similar toJapan's zaibatsu, worked with the government in rebuilding the economyand formed an integral part of Korea's economic strategy and its drive to

    build up its industrial base.

    One man, Chung Ju Yung, stood at the center of Hyundai's progress from1950 until he died in 2001. Chung, considered a founding father of theKorean chaebol structure, left school at an early age and developed what has

    been described as an autocratic and unconventional management style. He

    noted those areas of industry that the government had selected as crucial toeconomic development and structured the group accordingly.

    Challenges for Hyundai Motor in the 1980s

    The 1980s were to prove equally eventful for Hyundai Motor Company.After the oil shock of 1979, the government took steps to protect theindustry, which had by then made large investments in plants andequipment. It kept a tight grip on the development of this sector and in 1981divided the market, restricting Hyundai to car and large commercial vehicle

    manufacture. These regulations were revised in 1986 following the recoveryof the market, and Hyundai was able to resume manufacture of lightcommercial vehicles.

    By the middle of the decade, Hyundai had taken Canada by storm. Its Ponysubcompact vehicle became Canada's top-selling car less than two yearsafter entering the market. Hyundai's sales in Canada, where it was alsoselling the Stellar, shot from none in December of 1983 to 57,500 units inthe first nine months of 1985, topping those of Honda and Nissan combined.Total production in 1985 had risen to 450,000.

    In 1985, the company announced plans to build a car assembly plant atBromont, near Montreal, and at the same time decided to enter the U.S.market. The entry into the U.S. market, begun in 1986, proved an immediatesuccess. Its low-priced Excel model was well received, and of the 302,000cars exported in that year, 168,000 were sold in the United States, wheresales were to increase to 263,000 the following year. Hyundai's initial

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    33/81

    success in the United States, though, faded before the end of the decadewhen sales began to flag. Problems in the company's key overseas marketwere attributed to the lack of new models, increasing competition in theweakened U.S. car market, and the severe strikes that hit the company in thelatter part of the 1980s and in 1990.

    Hyundai decided to move up market with the introduction of the Sonata, afour-door sedan, in late 1988; initial sales, though, proved disappointing. Ayear later, this car was being manufactured at the Bromont plant, followingthe opening of the factory in 1989. In the same year, Hyundai signed a dealwith Chrysler Corp. to build 30,000 midsize, four-door cars for the U.S.company, starting in 1991. Chrysler was linked to Mitsubishi Corporation,which in turn was affiliated with Hyundai, in which it held a 15 percentstake.

    Hyundai planned to increase production at the Canadian plant to 100,000 bythe time the Chrysler deal came into effect. Export sales, which were also hit

    by the appreciation of the won and the depreciation of the yen, remainedsluggish. Increased wage costs also affected the group but had the advantageof boosting domestic sales that, for the industry as a whole, increased 50

    percent to 356,000 units in 1989.

    Hyundai in the Early 1990s

    The group became intent on reducing its dependence on the U.S. markets.By 1990, the domestic market was proving increasingly important to theessentially export-oriented group. Both the car and construction marketswere enjoying strong demand at the end of the decade. This situation helpedHyundai Engineering & Construction, like the vehicle operations, to take upthe slack created by declining markets abroad, particularly in the MiddleEast. The group had accumulated experience in a broad range of plantconstruction, including Korea's first nuclear power plant. Meanwhile exportsin the shipbuilding sector were showing a marked improvement.

    Following the creation in 1983 of Hyundai Electronics, Hyundai stepped upits presence in the electronics field and produced semiconductors,telecommunication equipment, and industrial electronic systems. Thecompany, which focused on industrial markets, sought to increase its

    presence in consumer electronics, despite formidable competition fromdomestic companies such as Samsung and Goldstar.

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    34/81

    The group as a whole had proved itself capable of taking diverse markets bystorm and was determined to maintain and expand its markets by steppingup research-and-development spending. However, the country's drivetowards democracy brought new uncertainties. In the changing economicand political environment, the group faced a labor force seeking higherwages, a less competitive currency, and increasing competition in the all-important overseas markets.

    Faced with this changing political scene and a less favorable internationalrate of exchange, Hyundai shifted gears in the early 1990s. In automaking,its largest enterprise, it worked to regain lost ground in the United States,where demand for its low-priced Excel and somewhat higher-priced Sonatamodels slumped in the wake of widespread consumer complaints and adepressed entry-level market. Hyundai's new Elantra sedan, selling for

    $9,000, was to be its lead item in the U.S. market. The group's chairman atthat time, Chung Ju Yung's younger brother, Chung Se-yung, was expectinga new day for the group, as Korea itself matured with new labor and politicalfreedoms.

    As Korea's second-largest conglomerate, with 1990 revenues estimated at$35 billion, Hyundai Group was clearly to play an important role in the newKorea. Indeed, the Hyundai founder and chairman, Chung Ju Yung, chose

    personally to play a new, political role in that development, founding a newpolitical party early in 1992 with a view to promoting open-market policies.

    Chung's Unification National Party (UNP) promptly won 10 percent ofNational Assembly seats; Chung himself then retired from his Hyundaichairmanship to set his sights on the Korean presidency. The Hyundaiconglomerate, already forced by the government to pay billions in backtaxes, came under even more severe government pressures after Chungformed his party. Regulators charged illegal political contributions by oneHyundai company and accused others of tax evasion. In addition, Hyundai'sability to finance its operations was threatened by other government actions.In return, Hyundai, at this time headed by Chung Se Yung, threatened to

    withhold huge investments planned for the coming year. In 1993, havingfinished third in South Korea's presidential election, Chung Ju Yungreportedly said that he would resume chairmanship of the Hyundai Groupand would reorganize the corporation into many specialized, independentlyrun companies. In 1995, his second-eldest son, Chung Mong Koo, wasnamed chairman of the group while Chung remained honorary chairman.

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    35/81

    In auto and personal-computer sales, Hyundai companies movedaggressively. In mid-1992, Hyundai's new Motor America president, Dal OkChung, took over in the Fountain Valley, California, headquarters. Amongother marketing devices, Hyundai offered generous rebates and free two-year service warranties that covered even windshield wiper blades. By early1993, Hyundai was offering the first auto engine it had designed and madeitself, as opposed to the Japanese-made Mitsubishi engines that were used inits earlier models. More than ever committed to the smaller vehicle, Hyundaiwas selling autos in more than 100 countries.

    In personal computers, Hyundai in mid-1992 took a drastic step when itmoved its entire electronics operation to the United States, the world'slargest computer market. Hyundai Information Systems had already enteredthe direct personal-computer market, cutting prices and offering toll-free

    telephone support and sales. The new operation, based in San Jose,California, had entirely American leadership, headed by IBM veteran andformer CompuAdd president Edward Thomas. The California advantage wasmainly proximity to the market, which meant lessened inventoryrequirements. These developments showed the Hyundai Group to have thesame innovative and energetic approach that had characterized its earlierventures.

    The Dismantling of Hyundai

    The latter years of the 1990s brought with them economic turmoil for South

    Korea. In order to restore the nation's financial health, President Kim DaeJung, who took office in 1998, launched a series of restructuring programsdesigned to reform the chaebols, many of which had become heavily debt-

    burdened. His reforms included changing the ownership, business, andfinancial structures of the region's large conglomerates. By this time, theHyundai Group was responsible for approximately 20 percent of Korea'sGDP. As such, its financial health was directly related to South Korea'soverall economic condition.

    As a result of government pressures, Hyundai and other South Koreanchaebols, including the Daewoo Group, set plans in motion to sell off manyof their businesses in order to pay down debt and shore up profits. Hyundai'sconcentration remained on autos, electronics, heavy industry, construction,and finance. Even as the group struggled under its debt load, it strengthenedits holdings with the purchase of Kia Motors Co. Ltd. and LGSemiconductor.

    Despite the government's involvement, Hyundai was slow to comply withrestructuring demands. Its questionable accounting practices often made it

    the target of negative publicity. Rivalries between members of the founder'sfamily also led to bad press, leaving many investors anxious about the futureof the group and its member companies. Indeed, many Hyundai affiliates,including Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Hyundai Electronics,were nearing bankruptcy as debt continued to spiral out of control. By 2001,total group debt reached W35.87 trillion ($25.59 billion).

    Hyundai Motor Co., on the other hand, was prospering as Korea's largest carmaker. The auto concern officially separated from the Hyundai Group inSeptember 2000, signaling the start of sweeping changes that led to theeventual dismantling of what was once South Korea's largest conglomerate.In August 2001, nine core Hyundai companies, including HyundaiEngineering & Construction and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. (formerlyknown as Hyundai Electronics Industries), left the chaebol. The separationcut Hyundai Group's assets to just $20.8 billion and left it in control of 18

  • 8/9/2019 hyundai_maruti OK

    37/81

    member companies. Hyundai continued to be pared down the followingyear.

    South Korea had bounced back from its economic crisis of 1997 and 1998 tobecome a leading global force in the technology sector. By 2003, foreigninvestors owned over a third of the shares of companies listed on Seoul'sstock exchange. During 2002, Roh Moo Hyun was elected president ofSouth Korea. Feeling the pressure from foreign investors, he maintained thatharsh reform would continue within South Korea's chaebols. A May 2003Business Weekarticle supported the efforts of the new president, who statedthat "slowly and steadily, good governance has been asserting itself inKorea." Indeed, it appeared as though the powerful, family-run Koreanchaebols were a thing of the past. While this marked an end to the HyundaiGroup's history, it pointed to a fresh start for many companies bearing the

    Hyundai name.

    60/81

    Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the researchobjective. It may be understood as a science of studying how research isdone scientifically.

    In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by researcher instudying his research objective along with logic behind it. It is necessary forthe researcher to know not only the research methods/ techniques but alsothe methodology. Researcher not only need to know how to apply particularresearch technique, but also need to know which of these methods ortechniques are relevant and which are not and what would they mean andindicate and why. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to

    design his methodology for his objective under study as the same may differobjective to objective.

    Thus when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the researchmethod but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the contextof a research study and explain why we are using a particular method ortechniques and so that research results are capable of being evaluated.
