1.6 Hypotheses
Hypotheses used were null hypotheses & alternative hypotheses.
H0 : Market survival of Super circle in Automobile spare parts sector.
H1 : Not market survival of Super circle in Automobile spare parts sector.
A statistical hypothesis test is a method of making statistical decisions using
experimental data. It is sometimes called confirmatory data analysis, in contrast to
exploratory data analysis. In frequency probability, these decisions are almost always
made using null-hypothesis tests; that is, ones that answer the question.
Assuming that the null hypothesis is true, what is the probability of observing a value
for the test statistic that is at least as extreme as the value that was actually observed?
One use of hypothesis testing is deciding whether experimental results contain enough
information to cast doubt on conventional wisdom.

2 Research Methodology
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In fact, research
is an art of scientific investigation the procedure adopted for conducting the research
requires a lot of attention as it has direct bearing on accuracy, reliability and adequacy of
results obtained. Research methodology is a way to systematically study and solve the
research problems.
Research Methodology includes:
Research
Research Problem.
Research Design.
Types of Research Design
Types of Data Collection
RESEARCH PROBLEM:The first step while conducting research is careful definition of Research Problem as a
very good saying is there, A well defined problem is half solved The present project
has been undertaken to do is the Analysis and Interpretation of this project at super circle
Ltd.
ANALYSIS ON
Research is common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define
research as a scientific and systemic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
In fact research is an art of scientific investigation. The Advanced Learner s Director of
current English lays down the meaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry
specially trough search for new facts in any branch of knowledge .Some people
consider research as an a movement, a movement from the known to unknown. It is
actually a voyage of discovery .We all possess the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for,
when the unknown confronts us, we wonder and our inquisitiveness is the mother of all
knowledge and the method, which man employs for obtaining the knowledge of
whatever the unknown can be termed as research.
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical
sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining
problems. Formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting organizing and
evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusion ns; and at the last carefully
testing the conclusions to determine wither they fit the formulating hypothesis. D.
Slazenger and M. Stephenson in the Encyclopedia of social Sciences define research as
the manipulation of things, concept or symbols for the purpose of theory or knowledge
making for its advancement. It short, the search for knowledge through objective and
systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research. The systematic approach
concerning generalization and the formulation of a theory is also research. As such the
term research refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem,
formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching
certain conclusion either in the form of solution toward the concerned problem in certain
generalizations for some theoretical formulation.
ANALYSIS ON
2.1 Research Design
The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the
preparation of the design of the research project popularly known as the Research
design. Decision regarding what, where, when, how much, by what means
concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design.A research
design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner
that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.
In fact the research design is the conceptual structure within which research is
conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of
data. As such the design includes an outline of what the researcher will do from
writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.
More explicitly, the design decisions happen to be in respect of:
1. What is the study about?
2. Why is the study being made?
3. Where will the study be carried?
4. What type of data is required?
5. Where can the required data be found?
6. What periods of time will the study include?
7. What will be the sample design?
8. What techniques of data collection will be used?
9. How will the data be analyzed?
10. In what style will the report be prepared?

Diagnostic:
In this, those frequencies are determined with which something occurs or its association
with something else.
Experimental:
In it, casual relationships between variables are tested. It is also known as Hypothesis
Testing Research Design
Descriptive
In this, those studies are taken which are concerned with describing the characteristics of
particular individual or a group.
The present project is Descriptive in nature.
The purpose of descriptive research design is in descriptive state. The main characteristic
is that the research has no control over the variables; he can only report what has
happened or what is happening.

2.3 Sample
Sampling:
Sampling is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable sample, or a
representative part of a population for the purpose of determining parameters or
characteristics of the whole population.
The desirability of a sampling procedure depends on both its vulnerability to error and
its cost. However, economy and reliability are competing ends, because, to reduce
error often requires an increased expenditure of resources.
Sampling Type: The research sampling design include probability random
sampling.

3.1 Business of the Organization

Marketing Strategy
REASON FOR GOING INTERNATIONAL:
INTRODUCTION:
Many businesses are forced into international selling due to the competitive
environment. While it might be wonderful to stay the same size and just focus on
quality, the problem is that the competitive environment creates situations where your
competition continues to grow - so, if you do not grow and expand you will lose
customers.
Your former customers will move to larger vendors that can offer lower prices (because
they sourced components internationally and can offer economy of scale).
Why Companies Have to grow
The main purpose of business is to make money for the people who own the business.
All other objectives are secondary to achieving this goal - it may sound heartless, but it is
the essence of capitalism.
Achieving this goal obviously means making enough money to stay in business several
years in order to pay back any money you borrowed to get started, and make enough
money that it is worth your while to have developed the Endeavour. Therefore managers
seek to increase or to stabilize profits, which partly depends on
17
foreign sales
ANALYSIS ON
foreign resources
Why does business have to grow?

Why can't a business just stay the same size?
Why does a business have to sell outside the territory of its original customers?
Why does a business have to access resources outside the territory of its original base?
The answer to these questions is the answer to why International Business exists - and
will be explained in the lecture.
A big part of the answer to why business has to grow is simply based on the fact that
business cannot stay the same size - if your business does not grow, the competitors will
grow, and soon you will lose your customers to competitors who grew, and had more
selection, or made cheaper products.
So you have to grow because the nature of the competitive environment will not let you
stay the same size
Why Companies do IB...
There are 4 major operating objectives that may cause companies to develop
International Business:
1 To expand sales
2 To acquire resources
3 To diversify sources of sales
4 To diversify sources of supplies
Which, if we do 3 and 4 leads to
o Minimizing competitive risk
18
ANALYSIS ON
Overall general reasons for International Business growth

There are many reasons why international business has grew enormously in the 1990's
and the first decade of Y2K - but essentially these reasons can explained due to 4 main
influences:
1.Technology
o increasing use of technology in manufacturing
o increasing use of technology in the process of consuming products
o increasing use of technology in delivering products
o transportation technology, packaging technology etc.
2.Government trade policies liberalized (made less restrictive)
o recognition that trade increases standard of living
o access to more products enhances lifestyles
o trade increases technological opportunities
o trade increases chance more people in the society can make money
3. Development of institutions to support and facilitate International Business

o like the WTO, IMF, OECD etc
4. Increased Global Competition

So this leaves companies with the challenge of why go international. Sometimes they
think of the situations (mentioned above) and decide, in a proactive way, that they should
start exporting, or importing in order to be more competitive.
19
ANALYSIS ON
Sometimes they don't have a specific corporate direction to go international, it just

happens because they are forced into it and they are reacting to some competitive or
economic or technical pressure.
So we describe these two directions as being Proactive or Reactive.
1. Reactive
Reactive - from reaction, to receive information, then act

Reactive reasons for going international include:
Market - the company is responding to demand it discovers in another location

o
it could make this discovery by accident, or by having an affiliated company

give them a tip
Competitive Environment - it sees competitors going to a particular place
for example when Honda set up shop in Ohio, some other Japanese auto
parts companies also moved to Ohio to continue supplying Honda
Political Environment changes - Trade Barriers
tariff or non-tariff barriers: if an exporting company finds that the

government in the recipient country starts to build tariff or non-tariff
barriers to block the export, then it might be a reason for the exporter to set
up a manufacturing operation overseas in order to avoid the tariffs
"buy-local" policies: exporting companies may find that "buy-local" policies

may restrict their exports - which may cause the exporter to set up a local
alliance or relationship
20
Political Environment changes - Regulations
ANALYSIS ON
environmental regulations or changes in work/safety regulations may cause

the company to go overseas to a less restrictive location
some Asian companies (selling in to the U.S. market) have moved

manufacturing and assembly operations from the southern U.S. to Mexico
where pollution and labour regulations are not so restrictive as in the U.S.
Economic Environment changes
costs of production at home increase, forcing the company to find a cheaper

place to produce
many Canadian garment manufacturing companies have moved

production out of Canada in the 1990's for the simple reason that
labour is a huge cost in clothing production and there have been
cheaper places found to make clothes in Asia and South-Asia and
parts of Latin America
Chance Occurrence
sometimes a company goes international for the most simple reason, the
CEO went some place on vacation and thought it would be a good place to
do business, or a friend made a suggestion to a senior executive about an
opportunity, so the company seizes on it to do something
you would be surprised how often it is chance occurrence that causes

someone to get on a airplane and go somewhere - and, keep in mind, most
int'l business is done by companies with less than 50 people
21
ANALYSIS ON
2. Proactive:
Proactive - means to act in advance, to anticipate something happening, and plan for the
situation. Companies who are proactive in international business are, in most cases,
better positioned than companies that simply react. If you simply react you might make a
mistake and not do things properly because you are stressed for time, money or
manpower.
Proactive reasons for going international include:
expanding sales by strategically seeking out advantages
access to resources which may save on shipping or processing costs
producing inside newly created political or regulatory boundaries (such as

free-trade zones or multi-lateral groupings of countries like the EU or
ASEAN)
Proactive reasons for going international include:
launch an offensive into a new market before competitor does (egg. like Pepsi into
Russia, before Coke)
power and prestige
e.g. in the early 1990's, a lot of Canadian law firms merged to form bigger firms, and also
boasted about having affiliated law offices in other countries)
22
Incentives
ANALYSIS ON
sometimes the host government will offer special tax breaks to entice an
investment
23
Lower costs of labour, production and energy
Less stringent rules and regulations effecting pollution and labour.
ANALYSIS ON
Introduction.
The need for immediate profit is not a pressure. The product is promoted to create
awareness. If the product has no or few competitors, a skimming price strategy is
employed. Limited numbers of product are available in few channels of distribution.
Growth.
Competitors are attracted into the market with very similar offerings. Products become
more profitable and companies form alliances, joint ventures and take each other over.
Advertising spend is high and focuses upon building brand. Market share tends to
stabilize.
24
ANALYSIS ON
Maturity.
Those products that survive the earlier stages tend to spend longest in this phase. Sales
grow at a decreasing rate and then stabilize. Producers attempt to differentiate products
and brands are key to this. Price wars and intense competition occur. At this point the
market reaches saturation. Producers begin to leave the market due to poor margins. A
promotion becomes more widespread and uses a greater variety of media.
Decline.
At this point there is a downturn in the market. For example more innovative products
are introduced or consumer tastes have changed. There is intense price-cutting and many
more products are withdrawn from the market. Profits can be improved by reducing
marketing spend and cost cutting.
25
ANALYSIS ON
3.2 Management Procedures
Every individual has the potential to perform if he or she gets proper

motivation, the right opportunity and the freedom to work. In the long run, success is
achieved when ordinary people perform extraordinarily. It is important to keep an open
mind.
The culture that the company has nurtured in the organization provides excellent
motivation to every individual to put in his/her best performance in an enthusiastic and
charged-up environment sans any fear of failure. While the best performers find their
names and achievements prominently displayed on the company's intranet, those who lag
behind are counseled, encouraged, trained and appropriately motivated to do better.
Constant communication on individual performance, business units performance and
companys
overall
performance
keeps
employees
updated
and
motivated.
The work culture revolves around developing the people, involving them in the growth
of the organization and realizing tangible benefits. People development and involvement
thus form the backbone of the company's human resource culture.

Indian Automotive Pistons and Piston Rings Aftermarket
Technological Superiority Is Critical to Aftermarket Success As automakers strive to

make engines more powerful, efficient, and less polluting, they will require
technologically advanced pistons and piston rings to endure higher thermal and
mechanical loads. To succeed in this aftermarket,
component providers will have to demonstrate a greater degree of the phonological
superiority while forging a strong relationship with leading engine component
manufacturers around the world.
This Frost & Sullivan study analyzes the Indian automotive aftermarket for pistons and
piston rings. It evaluates segments for passenger cars, multi-utility vehicles, commercial
vehicles, tractors, and two-wheelers. By providing accurate forecasts and identifying
winning market strategies, this study will help you develop an effective plan to capitalize
on a growing field.
Influencing Reorders Should Be Top Priority Reorders have an increasingly important
37
ANALYSIS ON
voice in the purchase of engine components, says the author of this study. Piston and
piston ring changes often involve the correction of the cylinder bore, which is done by a
reorder.
With complex engine repairs requiring reorders to have higher levels of skill and
expertise, their brand preferences will become a key factor in component purchases.
Brand preference of a reorder can be influenced by quality or price, states the author.
Often, the reorder makes a brand purchase decision on the basis of promotional
campaigns. Although these campaigns can be costly to implement, they will remain
essential in influencing buying decisions and commanding greater market share for
component providers. This research,
which examines end user and industry trends, will help your company attract more
customers.
Transition to Steel Should Improve Piston Performance Steel rings are overtaking castiron rings in the aftermarket, says the analyst.
Todays engines put greater demands on piston rings. Steel rings, which are stronger,
weigh less, and perform more efficiently, can better meet those demands than cast-iron
rings. The adoption of steel rings will result in reduced oil consumption, friction, wear,
and breakage.
Currently, steel rings constitute 15 percent of the total piston ring market, says the
author. Their market share is expected to rise significantly over the forecast period.
This research monitors technological changes and assesses their impact on the
marketplace. With such a privileged view of the field, your
company will be poised to optimize its business plan and maximize revenues

Product category : Engines

Kaka corporation presents expansion engine, which is a vertical, single acting,
reciprocating type of engine. This produces the cold required for the plant. These
machines consist of three parts, the drive unit; the cylinder unit for air expansion; and the
hydraulic system for operating the valves. High-pressure air enters through inlet valve at
the start of downward stroke of the piston. An elementary factor for the function of an
expansion engine is to use dry and carbon dioxide free air, as otherwise, ice and dry ice
will form on valve seats, causing mal-function. The approximate temperature drop across
expansion engine is 50 to 70 degrees Celsius, depending on inlet air pressure,
temperature and inlet cam position.

INTRODUCTION:
37

Many businesses are forced into international selling due to the competitive
environment. While it might be wonderful to stay the same size and just focus on
quality, the problem is that the competitive environment creates situations where your
competition continues to grow - so, if you do not grow and expand you will lose
customers.
Your former customers will move to larger vendors that can offer lower prices (because
they sourced components internationally and can offer economy of scale).
Why Companies Have to grow
The main purpose of business is to make money for the people who own the business.
All other objectives are secondary to achieving this goal - it may sound heartless, but it is
the essence of capitalism.
Achieving this goal obviously means making enough money to stay in business several
years in order to pay back any money you borrowed to get started, and make enough
money that it is worth your while to have developed the Endeavour. Therefore managers
seek to increase or to stabilize profits, which partly depends on
foreign sales
foreign resources
Why does business have to grow?

Why can't a business just stay the same size?
Why does a business have to sell outside the territory of its original customers?
Why does a business have to access resources outside the territory of its original base?
The answer to these questions is the answer to why International Business exists - and
will be explained in the lecture.
38

A big part of the answer to why business has to grow is simply based on the fact that
business cannot stay the same size - if your business does not grow, the competitors will
grow, and soon you will lose your customers to competitors who grew, and had more
selection, or made cheaper products.
So you have to grow because the nature of the competitive environment will not let you
stay the same size
