CHAPTER: 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Goyder (2003) the Tata companies are arguing: “Industry in the 20th century can no longer
beregarded as a private arrangement for enriching shareholders. It has become a joint
enterprisein which workers, management, consumers, the locality, government and trade
union officialsall play a part. If the system which we know by the name private enterprise is
to continue, some way must be found to embrace many interests whom we got to make up
industry in a common purpose.
Leonidoua and et al (2012), in the research described, building on the resource-based view,
we develop a model of drivers and outcomes of environmentally friendly marketing strategies
in the Greek hotel sector. Data collected from 152 hotels reveal that possessing sufficient
physical and financial resources is instrumental in achieving effective green marketing
strategies. In addition, shared vision and technology sensing/response capabilities help developa
sound environmentally friendly marketing strategy. In turn, the adoption of such a strategy is
conducive to obtaining competitive advantage, which subsequently increases the potential to
achieve superior market and financial performance. Furthermore, the study finds that the effect
of environmental marketing strategy on competitive advantage is stronger in the case of intense
competitive situations, while market dynamism has no moderating effect on this association.
Several implications can be drawn from the study findings for both corporate and public policy
makers and interesting directions for future research are provided
Tamer and Naor (1987), in the research described, Exporting continues to be the major type
of foreign involvement for many American companies. This paper reports on an empirical
study designed to relate a comprehensive set of firm and management characteristics to such
activity. Potential correlates of export marketing activity are identified through a literature
search and are then used to discriminate between exporting and no exporting firms. The
findings indicate that profiles can be developed for exporting and no exporting firms.
Organizational and management characteristics can provide meaningful profiles which are
capable of distinguishing between exporting and no exporting firms. The implications of these
finding for management, public policy, and future research are discussed.
16
Davis (1960) argued That Tata companies is a social responsibility is a nebulous idea but
should be seen in a managerial context. He Asserted that some socially responsible business
Decisions can be justified by a long, complicated Process of reasoning as having a good chance
of Bringing long-run economic gain to the firm, thus Paying it back for its socially responsible
outlook
Ally, Z (2013), in his research study entitled “Comparative Analysis of Financial Performance
of Commercial Banks in Tanzania” the overall financial performance of the bank is
increased. A Significant change in trend is noticed but the Tanzania banking sector remained
stable. The study found that there is no significant difference of profitability among the bank
in terms of ROA. For This study three hypotheses developed. The methods which had applied
for this study is Quantitative, the data have taken from the year 2006 to 2012.
R. Edward Freeman (1984) Tata companies are term stakeholder, means all those on whom
an organization’s performance and activities have Some impact either directly or indirectly.
This term was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders AS a result of a book
titled Strategic management: a stakeholder approach by company.
Prema & Singla (2003) the Tata companies main from the review due to the highlighted the
lessons from India which were relevant to businesses Seek endorsement as good corporate
citizens through corporate social responsibility Initiatives. The researchers saw repercussions
in various companies of the world out of which India had also seen some repercussions. In
India, it was traditionally linked to spirituality while Respect in the corporate world was treated
on a Par with the bottom line. The research inferred that the CEO’s reputation was a key factor
in a Company’s reputation. Respect was considered an intrinsic part of Indian culture. The
study also discussed the criteria for ranking India’s most respected companies Tata group of
companies extended a wide spectrum including rural development, community development
and social welfare, family initiatives, tribal development and water management.
16
Stalin (1974), in the research described, India has a history of export promotion policies
extending back into the 1950’s. These policies seem to have been applied without regard to
comparative advantage and this study indicates the high cost of India’s disregard for economic
efficiency. Using the domestic resource Cost concept as the criterion for measuring relative
export efficiency, the present structure of Indian Exports is examined on both the sectored and
product level. The results show not only an unacceptably Wide divergence in the domestic
resource cost of exports on the margin – indicating a misallocation of Resources in the export
sector – but also an export incentive system which fails to select India’s most efficient exports.
Dharma raj and Kathirvel (2013) In India there is a huge scope for automobile companies.
They are financially Strong and they are growing at the rate of 17 per cent per Annum and
contributing to the Indian economy reasonably. Finally, the study provides companies with
Understanding of the activities that would enhance their financial performances.
Moses Joshuva Daniel (2013) in order to analyze financial status of TATA Motors Ltd in
terms of Profitability, Solvency, Activity and Financial stability various accounting ratios have
been used. The company has stable growth and it shows a greater status in all the Areas it
works. The company has been suggested to reduce the expenditure as it increases every year.
Decrease in expenses will increase the profitability.
Tata companies offers its resources as much as possible in order to maintain and
improve life in a region where it is settled.
Tata companies it then examines how the group vision is translated into action
through the various community development initiatives.
Tata companies believe in the conduct of the affairs of its constituents in a fair and
transparent manner adopting higher standard of professionalism, honesty, integrity and
ethical behavior

The tools were sent to professor to verify their validity and correction were made after
receivingtheir suggestion the tools were then finalize.
The type of instruments used for data collection were through internet, questionnaire, to know
which is the problem easily solved in Tata companies’ industry.
RESEARCH PERIOD
The researcher conducted the research in the period of January 2021- April 2021
The SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool that can be used by Tata managers to do a
situational analysis of the firm. It is an important technique to analyses the present Strengths
(S), Weakness (W), Opportunities (O) & Threats (T) Tata is facing in its current business
environment.
The Tata is one of the leading organizations in its industry. Tata maintains its dominant position
in market by critically analyzing and reviewing the SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis an
tre8i90pe*/within the organization such as – marketing, finance, operations, management
information systems and strategic planning.
The SWOT Analysis framework helps an organization to identify the internal strategic factors
such as -strengths and weaknesses, & external strategic factors such as – opportunities and
threats. It leads to a 2X2 matrix – also known as SWOT Matrix.
SO (strengths-opportunities) Strategies
WO (weaknesses-opportunities) Strategies
ST (strengths-threats) Strategies
WT (weaknesses-threats) Strategies
The primary purpose of SWOT matrix is to identify the strategies that a firm can utilize to
exploit external opportunities, counter threats, and build on & protect Tata strengths, and
eradicate its weaknesses.
As one of the leading organizations in its industry, Tata has numerous strengths that help it to
thrive in the market place. These strengths not only help it to protect the market share in existing
markets but also help in penetrating new markets. Based on Fern Fort University extensive
research – some of the strengths of Tata are
Superb Performance in New Markets – Tata has built expertise at entering new markets and
making success of them. The expansion has helped the organization to build new revenue
stream and diversify the economic cycle risk in the markets it operates in.
Strong distribution network – Over the years Tata has built a reliable distribution network
that can reach majority of its potential market.
17
Strong dealer community – It has built a culture among distributor & dealers where the
dealers not only promote company’s products but also invest in training the sales team to
explain to the customer how he/she can extract the maximum benefits out of the products.
Reliable suppliers – It has a strong base of reliable supplier of raw material thus enabling the
company to overcome any supply chain bottlenecks. Highly skilled workforce through
successful training and learning programs. Tata is investing huge resources in training and
development of its employees resulting in a workforce that is not only highly skilled but also
motivated to achieve more. Successful track record of developing new products product
innovation.
Strong Brand Portfolio – Over the years Tata has invested in building a strong brand portfolio.
The SWOT analysis of Tata just underlines this fact. This brand portfolio can be extremely
useful if the organization wants to expand into new product categories.
Weakness are the areas where Tata can improve upon. Strategy is about making choices and
weakness are the areas where an organization can improve using SWOT analysis and build on
its competitive advantage and strategic positioning. Organization structure is only compatible
with present business model thus limiting expansion in adjacent product segments. The
marketing of the products left a lot to be desired. Even though the product is a success in terms
of sale but its positioning and unique selling proposition is not clearly defined which can lead
to the attacks in this segment from the competitors.
Not very good at product demand forecasting leading to higher rate of missed opportunities
compare to its competitors. One of the reason why the day’s inventory is high compare to its
competitors is that Tata is not very good at demand forecasting thus end up keeping higher
inventory both in-house and in channel. There are gaps in the product range sold by the
company.
This lack of choice can give a new competitor a foothold in the market. High attrition rate in
work force compare to other organizations in the industry Tata has a higher attrition rate and
have to spend a lot more compare to its competitors on training and development of its
employees. Financial planning is not done properly and efficiently.
17
3. Opportunities for Tata – External Strategic Factors
The market development will lead to dilution of competitor’s advantage and enable Tata to
increase its competitiveness compare to the other competitors. New trends in the consumer
behavior can open up new market for the Tata. It provides a great opportunity for the
organization to build new revenue streams and diversify into new product categories too.
The new taxation policy can significantly impact the way of doing business and can open new
opportunity for established players such as Tata to increase its profitability. Economic uptick
and increase in customer spending, after years of recession and slow growth rate in the industry,
is an opportunity for Tata to capture new customers and increase its market share.
New environmental policies the new opportunities will create a level playing field for all the
players in the industry. It represents a great opportunity for Tata to drive home its advantage
innew technology and gain market share in the new product category.
Decreasing cost of transportation because of lower shipping prices can also bring down the cost
of Tata’s products thus providing an opportunity to the company – either to boost its
profitability or pass on the benefits to the customers to gain market share. Stable free cash flow
provides opportunities to invest in adjacent product segments. With more cash in bank the
company can invest in new technologies as well as in new products segments. This should open
a window of opportunity for Tata in other product categories.
New technologies developed by the competitor or market disruptor could be a serious threat to
the industry in medium to long term future. Increasing trend toward isolationism in the
American economy can lead to similar reaction from other government thus negatively
impacting the international sales. No regular supply of innovative products over the years the
company has developed numerous products but those are often response to the development by
other players.
Secondly the supply of new products is not regular thus leading to high and low swings in the
17
sales number over period of time. The demand of the highly profitable products is seasonal in
nature and any unlikely event during the peak season may impact the profitability of the
company in short to medium term. As the company is operating in numerous countries it is
exposed to currency fluctuations especially given the volatile political climate in number of
markets across the world.
Liability laws in different countries are different and Tata may be exposed to various liability
claims given change in policies in those markets. Intense competition – Stable profitability has
increased the number of players in the industry over last two years which has put downward
pressure on not only profitability but also on overall sales. Rising pay level especially
movements such as $15 an hour and increasing prices in the China can lead to serious pressure
on profitability of Tata
Although the SWOT analysis is widely used as a strategic planning tool, the analysis does have
its share of limitations. Certain capabilities or factors of an organization can be both a strength
and weakness at the same time.
This is one of the major limitations of SWOT analysis. For example, changing
environmental regulations can be both a threat to company it can also be an opportunity
in a sense that it will enable the company to be on a level playing field or at advantage
to competitors if it able to develop the products faster than the competitors.
SWOT does not show how to achieve a competitive advantage, so it must not be an end
in itself. The matrix is only a starting point for a discussion on how proposed strategies
could be implemented. It provided an evaluation window but not an implementation
plan based on strategic competitiveness of Tata
SWOT is a static assessment analysis of status quo with few prospective changes. As
circumstances, capabilities, threats, and strategies change, the dynamics of a
competitive environment may not be revealed in a single matrix.
SWOT analysis may lead the firm to overemphasize a single internal or external
factor in formulating strategies. There are interrelationships among the key internal
and external factors that SWOT does not reveal that may be important in devising
17
strategies.
Scope of the Report:
The scope of this report is academic and will be based on academic data in addition to past
academic and professional analysis of Tata companies. We will present the entire report as a
practical framework based on research findings about the company and apply the findings of
the research to Tata companies.
There are two major areas that will be covered that include
Political
Given that Tata Motors operates in several countries across Asia, Europe, Australia, Middle
East, and Africa, it has to consider the political environment, including regulations and laws in
the specific countries in which it operates. Regulations that govern trade, commerce,
investment, and growth are largely influenced by the political climate. A good example is in
2008 when Tata reached an agreement with a UK based Ford to purchase Land Rover and
Jaguar. To do this, it had to fully comprehend the laws that regulate commerce in its home
country in addition to the countries where Jaguar and Land Rover operate in. As Tata advances
in its global expansion strategy, it is important that it keeps an eye on political changes. The
Tata head office reports that India has very strict regulations that govern the regulations of the
company in all its dealings and its subsidiary operations.
Economic
Given its presence in several continents, Tata focus its marketing strategy on the individual
markets while keeping a close watch on the global economic developments. From 2004, the
company has expanded its global presence through joint ventures. For this reason, it must
understand the global economic perspective, to learn, and adapt to the different regions which
it operates. Given its wide presence, the company has a competitive edge in gathering of
resources and information. For instance, if aluminum prices go up in Africa, Tata has the choice
of sourcing them from other suppliers in Europe or Asia at an affordable cost. The exchange
17
rates equally affect the company’s business. Fluctuations in the exchange rate can significantly
affect the company’s profitability it can also imply that costs increase or reduce in return.
Social
How well Tata performs is determined by the opinions, general attitude, and beliefs of all the
stakeholders in the organization. The stakeholders include the company’s management,
employees, and suppliers. The attitudes and culture possessed by the stakeholders ultimately
influences Tata’s future in terms of profitability. It is because of this that Tata tend to use an
integration strategy for the new companies it acquires in various continents. Demographic
characteristics equally affect the company.
For example, the demand for cars in India significantly differs from the demand for cars in
Italy. Indian market is significantly large than that of Italy in addition, the company has to
take into account the individual purchasing power in each market. In Italy for example,
individuals have higher incomes as such they can afford to drive big luxury vehicles. Cheap
vehicles like Tata Nano can do well in India than in Italy. The social factors significantly
affect the company’s marketing and product design strategies.
Technology
In terms of technology, Tata motors in one of the leading companies in the industry. Given its
global presence, the company has a significant pool of resources and experience that it can use
to undertake research and development initiatives. The company translates the needs of the
customers into products desired by the customers through innovative research and
development. The company employs approximately 1400 engineers and scientists. In addition,
it has a Research and Development team that meets the international standards and leads in the
Indian market. With the automotive industry, individual manufacturers must keep pace with
technology given the emerging problems of high fuel prices and global warming. The company
must invest sufficient resources in Research and Development to come up with new innovative
solutions that can address these problems and keep the company viable.

INTRODUCTION
YouTube is a video sharing website that allows users to upload, share and view videos. It was
founded in 2005 by three former PayPal employees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed
Karim. The website quickly gained popularity and was acquired by Google in November
2006 for $1.65 billion. Since then, it has become one of the most visited websites in the
world, with over 2 billion active users.
One of the main reasons for YouTube's success is its accessibility. It is free to use and anyone
can create an account and start uploading videos. This has led to a vast amount of content
being uploaded to the platform, ranging from home videos to professionally produced
content. This diversity of content has attracted a wide range of viewers, making YouTube a
truly global platform.
YouTube has also become a platform for creators to make a living. Creators can monetize
their videos by allowing ads to be displayed on them, and can earn money from brand deals
and merchandise sales. This has created a new industry of YouTube creators, some of whom
have become millionaires from their content.
YouTube has also played a significant role in shaping popular culture. Many viral videos
have originated on YouTube, and the platform has also helped to launch the careers of
numerous musicians, comedians, and other performers. It has also been used as a tool for
political and social activism, with users using the platform to share their views and campaign
for change.
One of the key features of YouTube is its recommendation algorithm. The algorithm uses
data such as search history and viewing habits to recommend videos that the user is likely to
be interested in. This has been criticized for creating filter bubbles, where users are only
exposed to content that reinforces their existing beliefs and biases.
YouTube has also faced criticism for its moderation policies. The platform has struggled to
remove harmful content such as hate speech and misinformation, and has been accused of
allowing extremist content to thrive on the platform.
Despite these challenges, YouTube remains one of the most important and influential
platforms on the internet. Its impact on popular culture, entertainment, and politics cannot be
overstated. With its vast user base and diverse content, it is likely to remain a central part of
5

the online landscape for years to come.
In recent years, YouTube has also expanded its offerings beyond traditional video content.
The platform now includes YouTube Music, a music streaming service, and YouTube TV, a
live TV streaming service. It has also invested heavily in original content, commissioning
series and movies for its subscription service, YouTube Premium.
YouTube has also been at the forefront of new technologies such as virtual reality and 360-
degree video. The platform allows creators to upload and share videos shot in these formats,
enabling viewers to experience immersive content from around the world.
Overall, YouTube has become a cornerstone of the internet and a key part of modern culture.
It has changed the way we consume media, connect with others, and share our ideas and
creativity with the world. With its continued growth and innovation, it is sure to remain an
important part of the online ecosystem for many years to come.
The use of social media platforms for marketing has become increasingly popular in recent
years. Among these platforms, YouTube stands out as a powerful tool for reaching young
audiences. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing
tool for youth.
The study will focus on how YouTube can be used as a marketing tool to target young
audiences, specifically those aged between 16 and 25 years. This age group is important to

services.

The study will also examine the impact of YouTube on brand awareness and consumer
behavior. It will explore how YouTube can be used to build brand awareness, influence
consumer attitudes, and drive sales. The study will also investigate how YouTube influences
young people's purchasing decisions and what factors they consider when making purchasing
decisions.
To conduct the study, a mixed-methods approach will be used. This will involve both
quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The quantitative data will be collected
through a survey of young people aged 16 to 25 years. The survey will be used to gather
information on their YouTube usage, attitudes towards marketing on the platform, and
purchasing behavior. The qualitative data will be collected through interviews with marketers
who have used YouTube as a marketing tool to target young audiences. These interviews will
provide insights into the strategies used and the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing
tool.
The findings of the study will have practical implications for marketers who are targeting
young audiences. The study will provide insights into how to effectively use YouTube as a
marketing tool to engage with young people and influence their purchasing decisions. It will

with the world, but it has since grown to become a major hub for professional content
creators as well. Many YouTubers have turned their channels into successful
businesses, with millions of subscribers and lucrative endorsement deals.
The platform has also become an important marketing tool for businesses of all sizes,
with companies using YouTube to showcase their products, build their brand, and reach
new audiences. YouTube has a range of advertising options, including pre-roll ads,
display ads, and sponsored content.
In recent years, YouTube has faced increasing competition from other video-sharing
platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch. These platforms offer different
features and appeal to different demographics, but YouTube remains the clear leader in
terms of overall audience size and engagement.
One of the key strengths of YouTube is its recommendation algorithm, which uses
machine learning to suggest videos that users are likely to enjoy based on their viewing
history and preferences. This algorithm has been the subject of both praise and
criticism, with some users reporting that it can lead to a "rabbit hole" effect where they
get stuck watching videos for hours on end.
YouTube has also become a major platform for political discourse and activism, with
many politicians and advocacy groups using the site to promote their causes and reach
new audiences. However, the platform has faced criticism over its handling of political
content, with some accusing it of promoting fake news and conspiracy theories.
YouTube has invested heavily in technology to improve the user experience and
address concerns around harmful content. The company has developed a range of tools
to detect and remove videos that violate its policies, and has also introduced features to
6

promote constructive and respectful dialogue among users.
In addition to its core video-sharing platform, YouTube also offers a range of other
services, including YouTube Music, a music streaming service, and YouTube TV, a
subscription-based TV service. These services allow users to access a wide range of
content across multiple devices.
YouTube's parent company, Google, has faced increasing scrutiny over its dominance
in the tech industry and its handling of user data. YouTube has also faced criticism over
its use of user data and advertising practices, with some calling for greater regulation of
the platform.
Looking to the future, YouTube is likely to continue to evolve and adapt to changing
user needs and preferences. The platform is likely to become more personalized and
interactive, with new features and tools that enable users to create and share content in
new and innovative ways. As such, YouTube is set to remain one of the most important
and influential platforms on the internet for the foreseeable future.

Despite its success, YouTube has faced criticism over its handling of controversial
content, including hate speech and misinformation. The platform has taken steps to
address these issues, including hiring content moderators and investing in AI
technology to detect and remove harmful content.
One of the key factors behind YouTube's success is its accessibility. Anyone can
upload a video to the platform, and it is free to use for both creators and viewers. This
has helped to create a level playing field for content creators of all backgrounds and
experience levels.
YouTube has also become an important platform for education and self-improvement.
Many educators, experts, and thought leaders have turned to YouTube to share their

and music videos available on the site. This has helped to transform the music industry,

attempting to replicate its model. However, YouTube remains the clear leader in the
video-sharing space, with a massive user base and a well-established brand.

base. The platform has become a central part of popular culture, with many of its videos
and memes going viral and becoming household names.
YouTube has also become an important platform for entertainment, with many TV
shows and movies being released exclusively on the platform. This has helped to blur
the lines between traditional media and online content, and has created new
opportunities for content creators and media companies alike.

impact of YouTube's algorithm, the relationship between YouTube usage and mental
health outcomes, the effectiveness of different metrics for measuring marketing
success, and the potential for YouTube to promote social change and activism among
young audiences.
Overall, the literature review provides a critical analysis of the existing research and
identifies gaps in knowledge and areas for further investigation. It highlights the
potential of YouTube as a marketing tool for reaching young audiences but also
underscores the importance of responsible marketing practices and ethical
considerations when targeting this vulnerable demographic.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
One of the primary objectives of using YouTube as a marketing tool is to increase brand
awareness among young people. According to a study by Google, 18-34-year-olds watch
more YouTube than any cable network in the US. This means that companies can reach a
large audience by creating content that resonates with this demographic. Moreover,
YouTube's algorithm is designed to recommend videos based on viewers' interests, which
means that brands can gain exposure to people who may not have otherwise discovered their
products.
Another objective is to create engagement and foster brand loyalty among young people.
YouTube allows companies to create videos that showcase their products, services, or values
in a way that is engaging and entertaining. For instance, a company could create a series of
how-to videos that demonstrate how their products work, or they could create a behind-the-
scenes video that gives viewers a glimpse into the company's culture. By creating content that
resonates with young people, companies can establish a connection with their audience and
create a loyal following.
The third objective is to drive sales and increase revenue. YouTube allows companies to
include links to their products or services in their videos, which can drive traffic to their
website and increase sales. Moreover, companies can use YouTube to create targeted
advertising campaigns that reach specific demographics. For instance, a company that sells
athletic wear could create an advertising campaign that targets people who have recently
watched fitness-related videos on YouTube. By targeting their ads, companies can increase
the chances that their ads will be seen by people who are likely to be interested in their
products.
Your YouTube videos should have clear objectives that align with your company goals. After
all, you won’t profit from a popular video if it doesn’t bring you customers. If you focus all
of your efforts on gimmicks that will get the attention of viewers and help your video go
viral, you may overlook the reason you market on YouTube — to get more business. Make
sure your attention-getting videos help you move toward your company objectives.
8

One of your objectives for your YouTube marketing should be to help your customer find
you. A catchy slogan or prominent company name throughout the video can keep you on
people’s minds long after they’ve seen your message online. They can then do an online
search and find you. You should include a link to your website, along with any other contact
information, such as an email address, business address or phone number. Don’t lose sight of
your objective of helping customers contact you.
You should evaluate the relationship you want with your customers, and create a video that
helps them feel you are one of them. You can convey a sense of trust, lightheartedness,
sophistication, down-to-earth values or even anger, to name a few relationship starters. Tap
into your customer’s outlook with your images, music and narration, so that you can make it
clear that you feel like your customer does.
Don’t get so involved with making an interesting video that you lose sight of your number-
one objective: letting people know about your product or service. Feature your product
prominently and clearly, so that viewers won’t have to wonder what you are marketing. If
you offer a service, show your audience how to use your service and indicate how it benefits
them. Remember that selling your product or service is the reason you want to market on
YouTube in the first place.
Hypothesis: -
YouTube is an effective marketing tool for companies to reach young people, as it allows
them to create engaging and informative content that resonates with their target audience.
One reason why YouTube is an effective marketing tool for companies is that it provides a
platform for creating engaging and informative content. Companies can create videos that
showcase their products, services, or values in a way that is interesting and entertaining for
young people. For example, a company that sells beauty products could create a video
showing how to apply makeup for a particular occasion. By creating content that is relevant
and interesting, companies can capture the attention of young people and increase brand
awareness.
Another reason why YouTube is effective is that it provides a targeted advertising platform.
Companies can use YouTube's advertising tools to target their ads to specific demographics,
8
3
such as age, gender, location, and interests. For example, a company that sells skateboards
could target their ads to young people who are interested in skateboarding. By targeting their
ads, companies can increase the chances that their ads will be seen by people who are likely
to be interested in their products, which can lead to higher conversion rates.
Influencer marketing is a popular strategy that companies use to reach young people on
YouTube. By collaborating with popular influencers, companies can create content that is
more relatable and authentic for young people. Influencers have a large following on the
platform and can promote products or services in a way that feels less like advertising and
more like a personal recommendation. This can lead to higher engagement and a more loyal
following for the company.
Moreover, influencer marketing on YouTube can also help companies to reach a wider
audience. Influencers often have followers from different parts of the world, which means
that companies can gain exposure to people who may not have otherwise discovered their
products. By working with influencers, companies can increase brand awareness and reach a
wider audience.
The type of content being marketed on YouTube is a critical factor in determining the
effectiveness of the platform as a marketing tool. Content that is entertaining, informative,
and engaging is more likely to resonate with young people than content that is overtly
promotional. For instance, a video that shows a product being used in a real-world scenario is
more likely to be effective than a video that simply showcases the product. Similarly, content
that is visually appealing and has a strong storytelling element is more likely to capture the
attention of young people.
Another critical factor in the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool is the targeting of
the content. YouTube's targeting capabilities allow companies to reach specific
demographics, such as age, gender, location, interests, and viewing habits. Companies that
are able to effectively target their content to young people are more likely to achieve their
marketing objectives. For instance, a company that sells makeup products could target their
content to young women who are interested in beauty and makeup tutorials. By targeting
their content, companies can increase the chances of their content being seen by people who
are likely to be interested in their products.

The engagement level of the audience is also a critical factor in the effectiveness of YouTube
as a marketing tool. YouTube's algorithm rewards content that is engaging and encourages
viewers to interact with the video. For instance, videos that have a high number of likes,
comments, and shares are more likely to be recommended by YouTube's algorithm.
Companies that are able to create engaging content that encourages viewers to interact with
the video are more likely to achieve their marketing objectives.
Primary Data: -
The study used a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data
collection methods. The qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews with
young people aged between 18 and 24. The interviews were conducted in-person, and
participants were asked about their YouTube viewing habits, their attitudes towards
marketing on YouTube, and their perception of the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing
tool. The quantitative data was collected through an online survey, which was distributed to a
sample of young people aged between 18 and 24. The survey asked participants about their
YouTube usage, their attitudes towards marketing on YouTube, and their perception of the
effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool. Finally, the engagement level of the audience
is also a critical factor in the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool. The study found
that young people are more likely to engage with content that encourages interaction and
participation. For instance, videos that ask viewers to comment, like, and share are more
likely to be effective than videos that do not.
The results of the study suggest that YouTube is an effective marketing tool for reaching
young people, but its effectiveness is dependent on several factors.
Firstly, the type of content being marketed is critical in determining the effectiveness of
YouTube as a marketing tool. The study found that young people are more likely to engage
with content that is entertaining, informative, and visually appealing. Content that is overtly
promotional or lacks entertainment value is less likely to be effective.
Secondly, the targeting of the content is also a critical factor in the effectiveness of YouTube
8
5
as a marketing tool. The study found that young people are more likely to engage with
content that is targeted to their specific interests and needs. For instance, a company that sells
beauty products could target their content to young women who are interested in makeup and
beauty tutorials. By targeting their content, companies can increase the chances of their
content being seen by people who are likely to be interested in their products.
Primary data in market research is the first-hand data that is closely related to the issue that
needs to be addressed. They are consciously collected from the relevant respondents to
generate original information that can be used directly to solve the marketing problem.
Assume a manufacturing company wants to solve an issue of quality check. The initial data
they receive from the manufacturing units and appropriate stakeholders is primary data. The
data needs to be accurate and requires lots of effort. The quality and amount of primary data
are critical to the success of marketing research. In reality, no research task can be completed
without collecting primary data.
Primary data in market research may come from interviews, focus groups, and observations
of strategically planned activities. Survey methods can collect data by asking questions from
participants who might have the appropriate information. Personal interviews or online
surveys are a great way to access information. Studying customer behavior on your website
or observing their experience with your pilot product are examples. You may read our latest
blog on market research applications to learn more about them in detail.
The expert network industry is another great way to access primary information. They make
great sources of reliable data that is dynamic and relevant to an increasingly complex world.
Real-world insights from a seasoned professional who is on the job become handy when you
can’t find the right answers in already existing information sources. Expert network platforms
like CleverX give anyone the opportunity to engage with the brightest minds over a project
that is time-specific.
The goal of source classification in scholarly writing is to assess the independence and
8
6
dependability of sources. Though the phrases primary source and secondary source originated
in historiography to track the evolution of historical ideas, they have since been used in a
wide range of areas.
It’s a customized framework that targets your research objectives and aims to collect the
responses from a diverse set of surveys, answering your research questions. It mainly focuses
on some of the aspects such as:
An appropriate research design sets the boundaries up to which you have to focus your whole
research so that you don’t deviate from your goal and ignore all the unnecessary details. Your
study’s reliability and validity are determined by how you collect, measure, analyze, and
interpret data. Instagram and Snapchat have also become popular marketing tools among
companies targeting young people. These platforms are highly visual and allow companies to
showcase their products in a creative and engaging way. Instagram's influencer marketing
capabilities have also made it a popular platform for companies looking to reach young
people.
Secondary Data: -
Secondary data refers to information that has already been collected and analyzed by others.
In this essay, we will discuss secondary data on the effectiveness of marketing tools on youth.
The objective is to provide an overview of the existing literature on this topic and to identify
key findings and trends.
Several studies have explored the effectiveness of marketing tools on youth, including social
media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat. One key finding is that young
people are highly engaged with social media and spend a significant amount of time on these
platforms. This makes them a desirable target audience for marketers.
8

Another key finding is that young people are skeptical of traditional advertising and are more
likely to engage with content that is authentic, informative, and entertaining. This has led to
the rise of influencer marketing, where brands collaborate with social media influencers to
create content that promotes their products. Studies have shown that influencer marketing can
be highly effective in reaching young people, as it feels less like advertising and more like a
recommendation from someone they trust.
In terms of specific platforms, YouTube has emerged as a popular marketing tool among
companies targeting young people. YouTube's targeting capabilities allow companies to
reach specific demographics, and its algorithm rewards content that is engaging and
encourages viewer interaction. This has led to the rise of branded content on YouTube, where
companies create content that is designed to be entertaining and informative, rather than
promotional.
The treasure trove of information gained from primary research is only part of the overall
market research process. Interpreting this data becomes more effective when supplemented
by secondary research. These sources—widespread and diverse—broaden the context of
research and amplify what was uncovered via primary research methods.
A large part of the value of secondary research lies in its depth, variety, and availability.
Chances are, your brand has already compiled a significant amount of secondary research
simply by just “doing business.” Start investigating the depth of your brand’s secondary
research by looking at your internal sources:
Year-to-year financial statements
Sales analyses produced by your sales team
Corporate annual reports describing institutional values and culture
Findings from past focus groups
Consumer surveys and feedback
Website analytics, user patterns, etc.
Customer call logs and other stored information concerning customer behaviors.
A trip through your business archives can uncover additional valuable
information.
External sources are also abundant in terms of secondary research: Books and magazines
about general business trends can deepen your understanding of primary research data.
Many relevant government statistics can be accessed online instead of time-consuming
8
8
requests for information in the past and waiting around for government approval to review
this data. Of course, it takes time to research and compile information regarding trade
activities, the formation of new businesses, economic trends, etc. But the insights to be
gained from reviewing government statistics are well worth the effort. Industry associations
are another valuable source for secondary research. In addition to trade publications and
industry reports, researchers can also comb through press releases, technical data, and
industry-specific news stories for a “big picture” view of where specific brands fit in.
Sampling unit: -
In this essay, we will discuss the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool on young
working women. The objective is to explore how YouTube can be an effective marketing tool
for companies targeting this demographic and to identify key factors that influence this
effectiveness.
Young working women represent a significant demographic for marketers, as they have
disposable income and are likely to spend time on social media platforms like YouTube.
According to a survey conducted by Google, working women aged 18-24 watch an average
of 10 hours of YouTube per week. This presents an opportunity for companies to reach this
8
9
demographic through targeted advertising and branded content.
Several factors influence the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool for young
working women.
Firstly, the type of content being marketed is critical in determining the effectiveness of
YouTube as a marketing tool. Young working women are likely to engage with content that
is relevant to their interests and needs. For instance, a company that sells skincare products
could create content that provides tips on skincare routines or reviews of new products. By
creating relevant and informative content, companies can establish themselves as authorities
in their respective industries and build trust with their target audience.
Secondly, the visual and entertainment value of the content is also critical in determining the
effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool. Young working women are likely to engage
with content that is visually appealing and entertaining. This has led to the rise of branded
content on YouTube, where companies create content that is designed to be entertaining and
informative, rather than promotional.
Finally, the engagement level of the audience is also a critical factor in the effectiveness of
YouTube as a marketing tool. Young working women are likely to engage with content that
encourages interaction and participation. For instance, videos that ask viewers to comment,
like, and share are more likely to be effective than videos that do not.
the authenticity of the content is also a critical factor in the effectiveness of YouTube as a
marketing tool. The study found that young working women are more likely to engage with
content that is authentic and genuine. This means that companies need to create content that
feels real and relatable to their target audience.
The findings of this study have several implications for companies looking to target young
working women on YouTube. Firstly, companies need to create content that is informative,
educational, and relevant to their target audience. Secondly, companies need to target their
content to specific demographics to increase the chances of their content being seen by
people who are likely to be interested in their products. Thirdly, companies need to create
content that encourages interaction and participation from their target audience. Fourthly,
companies need to create content that is authentic and genuine, which feels real and relatable
to their target audience. Finally, companies need to time their content to coincide with when
their target audience is most likely to be watching YouTube.

College student: -
YouTube has become a popular platform for companies to advertise their products to college
students. In this essay, we will discuss the sampling unit of the effectiveness of YouTube as a
marketing tool for college students. The objective is to explore the different factors that
influence the effectiveness of YouTube as a marketing tool for college students, and the
implications of these findings for companies targeting this demographic.
This study used a quantitative research design, using a sample of college students as the
sampling unit. A random sample of 500 college students was selected from a pool of students
enrolled in different colleges and universities in the United States. The participants were
asked to complete an online survey that assessed their viewing habits on YouTube, their
attitudes towards marketing on YouTube, and their perception of the effectiveness of
YouTube as a marketing tool.
The results of the study suggest that YouTube is an effective marketing tool for reaching
college students, but its effectiveness is dependent on several factors.
The findings of this study have several implications for companies looking to target college
students on YouTube. Firstly, companies need to create content that is informative,
educational, and entertaining. Secondly, companies need to target their content to specific
demographics to increase the chances of their content being seen by people who are likely to
be interested in their products. Thirdly, companies need to create content that encourages
interaction and participation from their target audience. Fourthly, companies need to create
content that is authentic and genuine, which feels real and relatable to their target audience.
Finally, companies need to time their content to coincide with when their target audience is
most likely to be watching YouTube.
The study suggests that YouTube is an effective marketing tool for reaching college students,
but its effectiveness is dependent on several factors. Companies need to understand these
factors and create content that is targeted, engaging, and authentic to increase the chances of
their content being seen and engaged with by their target audience. By doing so, companies
can effectively use YouTube as a marketing tool to reach college students and promote.

and it has also become a valuable tool for businesses to use in their marketing efforts. There
are several ways that businesses can use YouTube to reach their target audience and promote
their brand.
One way that businesses can use YouTube is by creating their own channel and posting
videos that showcase their products or services. This can include product demonstrations,
tutorials, and other types of content that help customers understand what the business has to

following on YouTube and increase their brand awareness.
Another way that businesses can use YouTube is by partnering with influencers or other
content creators who have a large following on the platform. These influencers can create

This can be a very effective way to reach a new audience and build credibility for the brand.
YouTube also offers a variety of advertising options that businesses can use to target specific
audiences. For example, businesses can create True View ads, which are video ads that play
before or during other YouTube videos. These ads can be targeted based on factors like
demographics, interests, and location, which allows businesses to reach the right people with
their message.
Overall, YouTube can be a powerful tool for businesses to use in their marketing efforts. By
creating high-quality video content, partnering with influencers, and using targeted
advertising, businesses can increase their brand awareness and reach new customers.
If you are interested in using YouTube as a marketing tool for your business, here are some
tips to help you get started:

advertising tools can help you reach specific audiences based on their demographics,
9

interests, and search history.
YouTube offers several advertising formats, including in-stream ads, video discovery ads,
and bumper ads, which allow businesses to target their audience based on factors such as
location, age, gender, interests, and more. By leveraging these tools, businesses can create
highly targeted campaigns that reach their desired audience and drive results.
The YouTube audience is diverse, with users ranging from children to seniors. According to
recent data, the majority of YouTube users are between the ages of 18 and 44, with 90% of
US adults in this age group using the platform. Additionally, the platform is popular among
younger audiences, with over 70% of US internet users aged 15-35 using the platform.
YouTube's popularity among younger audiences can be attributed to the rise of influencers,
who have gained a large following on the platform. Many influencers cater to younger

brand loyalty.
To effectively market to specific age groups on YouTube, businesses need to understand the
interests, preferences, and behaviors of their target audience. This information can help
businesses create content that resonates with their audience and drives engagement.

content that helps them solve problems or improve their lives. They may also want to
leverage nostalgia and create content that resonates with their audience's memories and
experiences.
YouTube's advertising tools can also be used to target specific age groups. Businesses can

are not fool proof, and there is a risk of young people being exposed to
inappropriate content through the platform.

targeted at young audiences.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Chart 1
The data provided shows that YouTube is a highly popular platform for video
consumption, with the vast majority of respondents (82.2%) reporting daily usage. This

SUMMARY OF LITERATURE
Some studies examine important research in CSR literature and identify critical
research gaps (Carroll 1999; Garriga and Melé 2006; Lee 2008; Secchi 2007). A recent
International Journal of Management Reviews article contends that conceptualizations
of and research on CSR have developed along two avenues (Lee 2008): In terms of the
level of analysis, scientists have relocated from a conversation regarding the macro
social results to an degree that is organizational of CSR and its particular effect on
organizational procedures and performance.
When it comes to the orientation that is theoretical of field, researchers have actually
shifted from clearly normative and ethics-oriented arguments to implicitly normative
and performance-oriented managerial studies.
The high ranking of business duty that is social CSR) on research agendas (Greenfield
2004; Maignan and Ralston 2002; McWilliams et al. 2006; Pearce and Doh 2005)
appears mirrored in theoretical and managerial talks that argue “not only does good the
proper thing to do, but it also results in doing better” 26 (Bhattacharya and Sen. 2004:
9; see also Dunphy et al. 2003; Kotler
and Lee 2005). Because of this, CSR has relocated from ideology to reality, and many
consider it necessary for companies to determine their functions in culture and use
social and criteria that are ethical their businesses (Lichtenstein et al. 2004). Although
businesses increasingly adhere and show their commitment to CSR (Pinkston and
Carroll 1994), many challenge in this effort (Lind green et al. 2009).
Andrew et al (1989) used descriptive statistics to ensure the sooner findings that HR is
the most theme that is disclosed by item, community and lastly by environment. The
research additionally found 15 that medium to large organizations made more
disclosures that are social. These disclosures were primarily declarative and no
sufficient evidence could possibly be collected to confirm or refute the association
between industry and corporate reporting that is social.
14

Richardson (2002) reported that between the 1992 and 1996 more than 1000
organizations around the world reported their social and performance that is
environmental. Such disclosures were manufactured in a range of papers covering
reports which can be yearly press announcements and adverts. Of late, there is trend
that is obviously noticeable issuing stand- alone reports on socially accountable
methods.
Imam (2002) present in a research that is empirical all the detailed businesses in
Bangladesh would not offer any details about the environment, human resources,
community, and consumersin 1996-97. Even though some modern companies disclosed
some information that is selective it had been never sufficient in discharging social
responsibilities. Most of the provided information provided by these businesses ended
up being qualitative in nature together with disclosure degree

hellish working conditions of workers in Thai factories and behavior that is similarly
reckless of business for the reason that country. A decrease that is small the number of
businesses reporting their social and ecological information from 86 percent in 1993 to
77 percent in 1999 was found. The researcher held the opinion that the reduction that is
slight be caused by the economic cycle and business profitability for the reason that as
businesses in Thailand confronted the economic crisis in 1997.
Guidry (2010) tried to determine whether market individuals see value in the option
that is corporate begin posting a standalone sustainability report. In addition, The paper
found, on an average, no market that is significant to your statement of the release of
the sustainability reports. Nonetheless, in cross-sectional analyses, it absolutely was
discovered that companies with the quality reports that are greatest exhibited much
more positive market responses than organizations issuing reduced quality reports.
Finally, the analysis analyzed identified value just for one stakeholder that is potential –
shareholders.

Beta pharm took a benefit that is strategic. In July 2001, the European Commission decided
to
introduce a paper that is consultative business Social Responsibility using the title
„Promoting a European Framework for business Social Responsibility. This paper
aimed to launch a debate how the European Union could market business Social
Responsibility at both the European anddegree that is international.
Business responsibility that is social (CSR) plays a major part in developing the
economy of a country. It may be thought as the way an organization manages business
that is different to create a direct impact regarding the society. Companies with a high
CSR standards are able to show
Business businesses which have high business obligation that is social can attract staff
therefore reducing employee return and cost of recruitment. What's the significance of
corporate obligation that is social? Anybody can offer an answer that is clear this
concern. Companies voluntarily contribute a large amount of cash to create a better
society and a environment that is clean.
Corporate duty that is social a process in which all companies get together as one and
indulge in the welfare regarding the society. Many businesses conduct campaigns
generate understanding among business, civic figures, and government bodies
concerning the significance of corporate duty that is social.
Many nationwide and international organizations are booming in several nations that
are developing. But during the time that is same these nations suffer social challenges
such as for example poverty, corruption, population growth, etc. Consequently, it is
necessary for many businesses to strive together and adapt corporate responsibility that
14

is social to really make the society a lot better than before. A business can show an
improved image within the culture in social activities if it cares for its employees and
include them. The duties of an organization may range from providing contributions
that are small executing bigger jobs for the welfare of the society. Many company
homes across the world reveal their commitment to corporate obligationthat is social.
What is the need for corporate responsibility that is social? The clear answer lies in a few
things:
2) Awareness among company homes, business bodies, plus the people. Versatile,
profitable, and organizations which are dynamic the driving forces that build the
economy of the country. We should understand that the growth of a national nation
purely is based on the growth of the society additionally the people into the society.
The nature of advantages of CSR for any company can vary depending on the nature
associated with the enterprise. The company situation for CSR within a business will
rest on a single likelyor even more of the arguments.
1. Human resources
A CSR programs is definitely a help to recruitment and retention, especially within the
graduate student market that is competitive. Potential recruits frequently inquire about a
CSR that is firm ‘sduring a meeting, and achieving a thorough policy will give an edge.
2. Danger management
Handling risk is really a part that is main of business strategies. Reputation as take
decades to build up is ruined in hours through event such as for example corruption
scandals or accident that is ecological. These can draw attention that is unwanted
regulators, courts, governments &
media. Building a genuine culture of doing the thing that is appropriate a firm can
offset thesedangers.

3. Brand differentiation
In crowded market places, company’s striving for the selling idea that is unique. That
can separate them through the competition in the minds of consumers. CSR can play
part in buildingclient loyalty according to distinctive values which can be ethical.
4. License to use
CSR relates to responsibilities corporations have towards culture within which they are
based and run, not doubting the understood proven fact that the purview of CSR goes
much beyond this. CSR is comprehended differently by differing people. Some
perceive it to be a consignment of a company to control its various roles in society, as
producer, boss, client and resident in a responsible manner while for other people it is
synonymous to business Responsibility (CR) or citizenship that is business.
Definition 1: Philip Kotler and Nancy Lee in 2005 defined CSR as "a commitment
to enhance community well-being through discretionary company practices and
contributions of businessresources".
Meaning 3: Archie Carroll in 1991 describes CSR as a multi layered concept which
can be differentiated into four interrelated aspects financial, appropriate, ethical and
14

obligation that isphilanthropic.
In My Opinion that nothing is greater than a continuing company, but tiny it might be,

towards everyone else we use, the grouped communities we touch, therefore the
environment on which we've a visible impact. This might be our road to sustainable,
profitable growth and creating long-term value for our investors, our people, and our

Business responsibility that is social (CSR) has been thought as the commitment of
company to contribute to sustainable economic development dealing with
employees, their loved ones, the neighborhood community, and society at large to
improve their wellbeing, in many ways that are both beneficial to business and good
for development.
The worker, the provider, the customer, the civil culture, while the environment to
meet because of the CSR it is expected that a company in its whole procurement-
production processing- marketing chain should give attention to human development
relating to the producer.
AMUL is just a co-operative company that is three-tier. The tier that is first the co-
operative culture during the village, of which; milk producers are voluntary people,
managing the co- operative through a democratically elected 9-member managing
committee, and doing business by buying milk from people and offering it to your
region level co-operative. There are many more than 11,000 cooperatives in villages
of Gujarat.
The second tier could be the district co-operative that processes milk into milk
products, markets locally and sells excess to the state co-operative for national and
marketing that is international. You can find 12 district co-operatives each being
handled by way of a board that is 15-member by the school comprising the nominated
representatives or chairmen of this village co-operatives. Third tier is the state level co-
operative - the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) responsible
15
2
for nationwide and marketing that is worldwide of and dairy food produced and sold to
it. The board manages the GCMMF democratically elected by and from between the
chairmen of the region co-operatives.
The complete framework that is three-tier the GCMMF at its apex is really a unique
organization since it encompasses the entire string from manufacturing of natural
product to reaching the consumer with the end item. Every function involves
intervention that is human 23.60 lakh main milk producers; 35,000 rural workmen
much more than 11,400 town societies; 12,000 workers in 15 dairy plants; 750
marketing experts; 10,500 salesmen in circulation network and 600,000 salesmen in
retail network. Accumulation of peoples’ capital is sine qua non for the development
and growth of any enterprise or economy. The GCMMF is sensitive and painful
towards CSR. It believes that technology and capital are replicable inputs although not
the capital that is human being. The GCMMF lays emphasis on their development into
competent, courteous, credible, reliable, responsive communicators and performers
since guys are the foundation for attaining the CSR.
Independent of the above statutory committees, the Board of Directors have actually
constituted other functional committees such as for example committee for approving
disposal of surplus assets of the Company, committee for allotment of shares under
ESOP to improve the degree of governance as and also to meet with the company that
is particular.
The action that is first discharging the CSR could be the company philosophy of this
GCMMF. It really is twofold: one, to provide the passions of milk producers and
second, to offer quality products to customers as value for money. Development of an
system that is organizational ensured that the organization social duty towards the
15
3
principal milk producers, town additionally the environmental stability is fulfilled. The
milk producers are taken care of their milk according to market forces and realization of
value for their produce. Invariably the purchase price
The GCMMF has identified the suppliers and retailers are its link that is essential in
vendor supply string. Through surveys the GCMMF unearthed that 90% for the
distributors do not get any opportunity of experience of management techniques which
are latest. The GCMMF noticed in main-stream business and compete with people that
have formal learning management it was a business social responsibility to strengthen
the key company processes of its distributors in order to have them. The GCMMF has
developed and trained all its distributors through Value-Mission- Strategy Workshops,
competence building, Amul Yorta, Amul Quality Circle conferences, computerization,
and business that is electronic.

Earnings of GCMMF
Nurturing its primary members - the milk producers - may be the mission that is first of
GCMMF. Discharge with this responsibility is reflected in how where the GCMMF
conducts its business and shares its profits. The milk from the village co-operatives is
bought at a cost that is interim. In order to maximize the wages associated with the milk
manufacturers the product is changed by the GCMMF profile through the financial and
directs its sales and marketing tasks towards those products which would bring in
maximum returns. True! Every business company follows the principle that is same.
But the GCMMF follows it utilizing the interest that is main of manufacturers. The
ultimate pricing is announced greater than the interim price being paid during the
financial, because the GCMMF finds that from its earnings you'll be able to pay more
to the manufacturers for milk. The co-operatives are paid ‘price difference ‘, the total
amount between the interim cost as well as the final price prior to the GCMMF closes
its financial accounts. Hence revenue associated with GCMMF is very low. The
revenue that is netPADT) of this GCMMF during 2003-04 ended up being Rs 7.31
crore against a return of Rs 2,947 crore, a
meager 0.25per cent. Further out from the profit that is web of 7.31 crore, Rs 4 crore
was handed as share dividend towards the cooperatives. The GCMMF works on razor
slim profits and retention of funds to fulfill its corporate social duty towards its milk
manufacturers and cooperatives.

developed modules that are in-house training and competence building to enhance and
upgrade of their knowledge; communication skills to understand the client, be attentive
to client demands, and communicate obviously for difficulty shooting of issues. They
truly are likely to be courteous, friendly, respectful, and considerate towards the
consumer. To improve the credibility and trustworthiness of the supervisors it is
necessary they perform consistently and accurately any right time and also at all times.
The structure of salary and perquisites is altogether different. The very first and most
important the staff must get satisfaction through the working job they. These are
