CHAPTER: I INTRODUCTION

1.1 TELECOMMUNICATION Telecommunication is so vital to our lives, to our ability to compete in business, and to our access to the political process. The Telecommunication industry is a system of switches and lines that interconnected to provide communication between multiple parties. The concept of universal service has thus for only been applied to basic telephone service.

1.2 TELECOMMUNICATION - MEANING Telecommunication is the assisted transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. In earlier times, this may have involved the use of smoke signals, drums, semaphore, flags, or heliograph. In modern times, telecommunication typically involves the use of electronic transmitters such as the telephone, television, radio or computer. Early inventors in the field of telecommunication include Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi and John Logie Baird. Telecommunication world product. 1.3 EARLY TELECOMMUNICATIONS Early forms of telecommunication include smoke signals and drums. Drums were used by natives in Africa, New Guinea and South America whereas smoke signals were used by natives in North America and China. Contrary to what one might think, these systems were often used to do more than merely announce the presence of a camp. In the middle ages, chains of beacons were commonly used on hilltops as a means of relaying a signal. Beacon chains suffered the drawback that they could only pass a single bit of information, so the meaning of the message such as "the enemy has been is an important part of the world economy and the telecommunication industry's revenue has been placed at just under 3 percent of the gross

sighted" had to be agreed upon in advance. One notable instance of their use was during the Spanish Armada, when a beacon chain relayed a signal from Plymouth to London. In 1792, Claude Chappe, a French engineer, built the first fixed visual telegraphy system (or semaphore line) between Lille and Paris. However semaphore suffered from the need for skilled operators and expensive towers at intervals of ten to thirty kilometers (six to nineteen miles). As a result of competition from the electrical telegraph, the last commercial line was abandoned in 1880. Homing pigeons have occasionally been used through history by different cultures. Pigeon post is thought to have Persians roots and was used by the Romans to aid their military. Frontinus said that Julius Ceasar used pigeons as messengers in his conquest of Gaul. The Greeks also conveyed the names of the victors at the Olympic Games to various cities using homing pigeons. In the early 19th century, the Dutch government used the system in Java and Sumatra. And in 1849, Paul Julius Reuter started a pigeon service to fly stock prices between Aachen and Brussels, a service that operated for a year until the gap in the telegraph link was closed. 1.4 TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE The first commercial electrical telegraph was constructed by Sir Charles Wheatstone and Sir William Fothergill Cooke and opened on 9 April 1839. Both Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "an improvement to the [existing] electromagnetic telegraph" not as a new device. Samuel Morse independently developed a version of the electrical telegraph that he unsuccessfully demonstrated on 2 September 1837. His code was an important advance over Wheatstone's signaling method. The first transatlantic telegraph cable was successfully completed on 27 July 1866, allowing transatlantic telecommunication for the first time.

The conventional telephone was invented independently by Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray in 1876. Antonio Meucci invented the first device that allowed the electrical
CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 2

transmission of voice over a line in 1849. However Meucci's device was of little practical value because it relied upon the electrophonic effect and thus required users to place the receiver in their mouth to hear what was being said. The first commercial telephone services were set-up in 1878 and 1879 on both sides of the Atlantic in the cities of New Haven and London. 1.5 TELEPHONE The telephones play a major role in communicating in this era. The telephone are of multipurpose and are not restricted to just communicating any more. Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876 and formed bell telephone which licensed local telephone exchange in major US cities. AT&T was formed in 1885 to connect the local bell companies when the telephone was first invented, not everyone appreciated its importance. In fact, western union was at first offered the patent to this invention but they refused it. It is expensive to maintain local telephone services with all the wiring and plant that must be maintained. Long distance services with all the wiring and plant that must be maintained. Long distance services, on the other hand, are much less expensive to provide most of it is now carried by microwave and other technologies which are less expensive to operate so a number of public policy issues emerge with regard to subsidization, supposed completion and telephone rates Optical fiber provides cheaper bandwidth for long distance communication. In an analogue telephone network, the caller is connected to the person he wants to talk to by switches at various telephone exchanges. The switches form an electrical connection between the two users and the setting of these switches is determined electronically when the caller dials the number. Once the connection is made, the caller's voice is transformed to an electrical signal using a small microphone in the caller's handset. This electrical signal is then sent through the network to the user at the other end where it is transformed back into sound by a small speaker in that person's handset. There is a separate electrical connection that works in reverse, allowing the users to converse.

1.6 FIXED-LINE TELEPHONES The fixed-line telephones in most residential homes are analogue that is, the speaker's voice directly determines the signal's voltage. Although short-distance calls may be handled from end-to-end as analogue signals, increasingly telephone service providers are transparently converting the signals to digital for transmission before converting them back to analogue for reception. The advantage of this is that digitized voice data can travel side-by-side with data from the Internet and can be perfectly reproduced in long distance communication (as opposed to analogue signals that are inevitably impacted by noise). 1.7 MOBILE PHONES Mobile phones have had a significant impact on telephone networks. Mobile phone subscriptions now outnumber fixed-line subscriptions in many markets. Sales of mobile phones in 2005 totaled 816.6 million with that figure being almost equally shared amongst the markets of Asia/Pacific (204 m), Western Europe (164 m), CEMEA (Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa) (153.5 m), North America (148 m) and Latin America (102 m). In terms of new subscriptions over the five years from 1999, Africa has outpaced other markets with 58.2% growth. Increasingly these phones are being serviced by systems where the voice content is transmitted digitally such as GSM or W-CDMA with many markets choosing to depreciate analogue systems such as AMPS.

1.8 DEVELOPMENT IN THE TELEPHONE There have also been dramatic changes in telephone communication behind the scenes. Starting with the operation of TAT-8 in 1988, the 1990s saw the widespread adoption of systems based on optic fibres. The benefit of communicating with optic fibres is that they offer a drastic increase in data capacity. TAT-8 itself was able to carry 10 times as many telephone calls as the last copper cable laid at that time and today's optic fibre cables are able to carry 25 times as many telephone calls as TAT-8.

CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 4

This increase in data capacity is due to several factors: First, optic fibres are physically much smaller than competing technologies. Second, they do not suffer from crosstalk which means several hundred of them can be easily bundled together in a single cable. Lastly, improvements in multiplexing have led to an exponential growth in the data capacity of a single fibre. Assisting communication across many modern optic fibre networks is a protocol known as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ATM protocol allows for the sideby-side data transmission mentioned in the second paragraph. It is suitable for public telephone networks because it establishes a pathway for data through the network and associates a traffic contract with that pathway. The traffic contract is essentially an agreement between the client and the network about how the network is to handle the data; if the network cannot meet the conditions of the traffic contract it does not accept the connection. This is important because telephone calls can negotiate a contract so as to guarantee themselves a constant bit rate, something that will ensure a caller's voice is not delayed in parts or cut-off completely. There are competitors to ATM, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), that perform a similar task and are expected to supplant ATM in the future.

1.9 HOME NEED COMMUNICATIONAL EQUIPEMENT Today home owners expect their homes to accommodate the following items. 1. Multiple phone lines 2. Internet service 3. Video distribution and other services 4. Data and security services 5. Fax machines and the list goes on. .

1.10 TELECOM MARKET IN ASIA The Asia telecom market is of large scale and great investment potential. Four markets are developing fastest in Asia. They are China, Indonesia, India and Vietnam meanwhile, in the markets of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore, handsets have a high market Penetration.

1.11 TELECOM MARKET IN INDIA India has a mere 1.2 telephones for every 100 of its people. This is way below international standards and is not becoming of a country aspiring to be major player in the global economy of the 21 century. The telecom industry is developing the fastest among all sectors in India. Mean while, GSM mobile communication is in the leading position in development of telecom market in the next few years, hand set subscribers will be expanding dramatically with an expected growth rate of more than 50%. The figure will add upto 200 million in 2008, accounting for 75% of all telecom subscribers. In the past 5 years, the number GSM handsets users increasing 10 times. In virtual of great market potentials ITI LTD will take a shorter time than expected for consumers to exceed 100 million. 6.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The project is mainly consists of two folded objectives i.e., main objective and other objectives.

CHAPTER: III ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE


3.1 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE An organizational structure defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped and coordinated. The chapter iii deals with the organizational structure; the organization structure is a complete picture about the organization. The structure of an organization plays a significant role in charting out its path to success. An efficient structure facilitates coordination and smooth intertwining of employees and communication systems. The organization adopts different structural pattern at different stages of its lifecycle. The form of an organization that is evident in the way divisions, departments, functions, and people link together and interact.

CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 34

Organization structure reveals vertical operational responsibilities, and horizontal linkages, and may be represented by an organization chart. The complexity of an organization's structure is often proportional to its size and its geographic dispersal. The traditional organization structure for many businesses in the 20th century was the bureaucracy, originally defined by Max Weber.

3.2 BASIC ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE An organization is a social entity composed of two or more persons who work together towards the attainment of common goals. For the organization to work as a cohesive unit, it is essential that a formal structure of reporting and control be established among the different members of the organization....

United Telecom These companies are foreign companies where they have given a major competition to ITI These companies is competition with ITI in pricing issues this company takes orders from other company for fewer prices and has low profit margin and has less overhead cost. From all these reasons they receive the order flow to these companies rather than flowing to ITI. In ITI they cannot cut down the cost because they have high overhead expenses. So company is planning to reduce these expenses by reducing employee by giving those VRS and superannuation of the employee.

CHAPTER: V SWOT ANALYSIS


5.1 INTRODUCTION SWOT analysis measures a business unit, a proposition or idea. A SWOT analysis is a subjective assessment of data which is organized by the SWOT format into a logical order that helps understanding, presenting, discussion & decision-making. The 4 dimension are a useful extension of a basic two heading list of pros and cons. ITI has significantly been able to corner around 3 million lines order on GSM network during the year, the secured projection from the customers have enabled the company to set up a capacity for 1 million lines at Mankapur & another 3 million lines at Rae Bareli in addition to it, the capacity for 1 million lines at Bangalore on CDMA has been planned. These 3 manufacturing facilities would enable the company to achieve a turnover more than Rs.2000 crores. Thus ITI has various strengths to its credit & also opportunities. The strength, weaknesses, opportunities & threats of ITI can be classified as under.

5.2 STRENGTHS: Strengths are attributing of the organization that is helpful to the achievement of the objective. It means determining an organizations strong points. This should be from both internal & external customers. Strength is a resource advantage relative to competitors & the needs of the markets a firm serves or expects to serve. It is a

CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 78

distinctive competence when it gives the firm a comparative advantage in the marketplace. Strengths arise from the resources & competencies available to the firm. The various strengths of ITI are as follows: Indias first telecom equipment manufacturer. 50 years of experience in telecommunication. Over 60% of contribution to the existing national telecom network. Total telecom solutions provider. Recognized as top turnkey services company. Multi-locational state-of-art manufacturing facilities with ISO 9001:2000. Complete range of telecom products, value added services, strategic alliances with global telecom/IT majors. Large work force with technical expertise. Large Market share Quick adoption to new & latest technology. One of the best infrastructure and R&D.

5.3 WEAKNESSES: Weaknesses are attributing of the organization that are harmful to the achievement of the objective. This means determining of an organizations weaknesses, not only from its point of view, but also more importantly, from customers. Although it may be difficult for an organization to acknowledge its weaknesses it is best to handle the better reality without procrastination. A weakness is a limitation or deficiency on one or more resource or competencies relative to the competitors that impedes a firms effective performance.

WEAKNESSES OF ITI: Surplus manpower. Resistance to changes by some group of employees.


CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 79

Normally, training the aged & less qualified employees to latest technology in some case highly impossible. ITI has proved otherwise certificate holders & fitters are all doing even testing in digital electronics.

Products are priced very less due to competition. Having monopoly in the telecom manufacturing field, ITI is very poor in marketing. It did not have marketing department concept itself before 1991.

Political interference. No desire for development is killing the company. Worker efficiency is low as compare with other companies , because of age group they are having

5.4 OPPORTUNITIES: Opportunities are external conditions that are helpful to the achievement of the objective. Another major factor is to determine how organization can continue to grow within the market place opportunities are everywhere, such as the changes in technology, government policy, social patters, & so on an opportunity is a major situation in a firms environment. Key trends are one source of opportunities. Identification of a previously overlooked market segment, changes in competitive circumstances, technological changes, & improved buyer or supplier relationship could opportunities for the firm.

OPPORTUNITIES OF ITI:

Introduction of better & improved technology. Can improve the Quality of the products. Training & development strategies. Diversify their products to a new line Huge capital investment is available to introduce a new product which can beat competitors products. New models of telephone can be introduce to grab the market.
CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 80

5.5THREATS: Threats are external conditions that are harmful to the objective. They are external factors that are out of our control. It is vital to be prepared & face threats even during turbulent times a threat is a major unfavorable situation in a firms environment. Threats are key impediments to the firms current or desired position. The entrance of new competitors, slow market growth, increased bargaining power of key buyers or suppliers, technological changes & new or revised regulations could represent threats to a firms success.

The threats faced by the ITI are as follows:

Competition from private sector & nationals. Disinvestments policy of the government. Frequent fluctuations in the global competitive market Economics policies of the government. There is chance of Huge executive turnover. Promotional opportunities are bleak.

CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 82

This project involves the study of cash requirements of Indian Telephone industries limited for the purpose of analysis, the balance sheet and the profit and loss account for the current year has been collected. The data for this purpose of the study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources: The primary data was collected from the central finance department of ITI.

The various tools used for the purpose are profit and loss account, balance sheet of the company, cash flow statements and graphs.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: Introduction. Every business needs funds for two purposes-for its establishment & carry out its day to day operations. Long term funds are required to create production facilities through purchase of fixed assets such as Plant & machinery, Land, Building, furniture, etc. Investment in these assets represents that part of firms capital which is blocked on a permanent or fixed basis & is called Fixed capital. Funds are also needed for short -term purposes for the purchase of raw material, payment of wages, & other day-to-day expenses etc. Working capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprise.

Need for working capital management:The main purpose of working capital management in an organization to meet the short term requirement of capita,(i.e. purchase of raw material , payment of wages & salaries etc).
CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 83

Purchase of Raw material, components & spares. To pay Wages & salaries Day to day expenses of the company. To meet the selling expenses as packing & advertising cost. Provide credit facilities to customers. To maintain inventories of Raw material ,Work in progress, stores & finished goods.

Importance of Adequate working capital: Solvency of the business. Goodwill. Easy Loan.

Cash discounts. Regular supply of Raw materials. Regular payment of Salaries, wages & other day-to- day commitments. Exploitation of favorable market conditions. Ability to face crisis. Quick & regular return on investments. High Morale.

Approaches for determining an appropriate working capital mix:

CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 84

Hedging or matching approaches

Conservative approaches

Aggressive approaches

Conservative approach:This approach suggest that the entire estimated investment in current assets should be financed from long term sources & short term sources be used only for emergency requirements. Hedging or matching approach:According to this approach the maturity of sources of funds should be matched with the nature assets to be financed. This approach suggest that the permanent working capital requirement should be financed with funds from long term sources while the temporary or seasonal capital should be financed with short term funds Aggressive approach:The aggressive approach suggests that the entire working estimation requirement of current assets should be financed from short term sources & even a part of fixed assets investment be financed from short term sources. This approach makes financemix more risky, less costly & more profitable.

WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS OR


CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 85

MEASURING THE WORKING CAPITAL . No business can run successfully without adequate amount of working capital. However, it must also be noted that working capital is a means to run the business smoothly & profitably & not an end. The concept of working capital has its own importance in a going concern. A going concern usually has a positive balance of working capital but sometimes the uses of working capital may be more than the sources resulting into a negative value of working capital. A study of changes in uses & sources of working capital is necessary to evaluate the efficiency with which the working capital is employed in a business. This involves the need of working capital analysis. It can be measure through:

1) Ratio analysis 2) Funds flow analysis 3) budgeting. In this case we are proceeding with the help of Ratio analysis:-

RATIO ANLYSIS:A ratio is a simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to another. The technique of ratio analysis can be employed for measuring short-term liquidity or working capital or position of a firm. The following ratios may be calculated for this purpose: 1. Current ratio 2. Quick ratio 3. Absolute liquidity ratio 4. Inventory turnover ratio 5. Debtors turnover ratio
CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 86

6. creditors turnover ratio 7. fixed assets turnover ratio 8. cash turnover ratio 9. operating turnover ratio

The above Ratios will be calculated & interpretation is given in the following pages in detail.

1.1 CURRENT RATIO:Current ratio is the ratio, which expresses the relationship between current assets & current liabilities. The formula for calculating the current ratio is given below: Current ratio = current assets /current liabilities (Amount is Rs)

1.3 Absolute liquidity ratio:It is the ratio, which expresses the relationship between the absolute liquid assets & quick liabilities. Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand, cash at bank, readily marketable securities. On the other hand liquid liabilities include all current liabilities except bank overdraft & cash credit. Ideal ratio is 1:2

Absolute liquid ratio= Absolute liquid assets / quick liabilities

CHAPTER: VIII

Over all SUGGESTION & CONCLUSSION


SUGGESTION: After studying all the departments & functional areas of the company we suggest that the company should concentrate on its core business area instead of secondary functions.
CMR CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES, BANGALORE 97

We can see that the companys time to execute a project is too long therefore company should execute its projects on time so that it can help in getting huge orders from the same customer again & make them loyal to the company.

The company is not able to utilize its funds in adequate manner (i.e. allocation of resources which can be executed on time & profitable).

The company should go more for its diversification of business instead of going on traditional products& services (like landline telephone) ,GSM, CDMA, WI-FI .VSAT services.

The company is turning towards the IT world as Total IT service provider which is advantages for the company, it can have joint venture with some other private players to gain a market advantage.

ITI is oldest telecom company in the Indian telecom industry; it has a good experience in foreign joint ventures. It can proceed more in this field to get a more cost effective & quality services from across the globe.

There is no Indian company which is manufacturing mobile phone on its own resources, ITI is having that much of infrastructure & can invest huge capital in this field.
