...RECKITT BENCKISER & MDI - GURGAON PRESENT Cherry Blossom Shoe Polish Case Analysis Contest Reckitt Benckiser India Ltd: Cherry Blossom Shoe Polish Introduction In June 2006, the Brand Manager of Cherry Blossom, looked back with some degree of satisfaction to the positive uptrend in the last couple of years to various initiatives taken by the brand team to recoup some of the lost ground. Despite his pre-occupation with the "100 shining years" celebrations going on for this life-touching brand that had for long added an early morning glimmer to shoes, he was keenly working towards finalising the strategic shifts in the marketing strategy of the brand to take it to the next orbit. The journey of Cherry Blossom (Cherry) as a brand had begun a hundred years ago and had seen many ups and downs. For a long time till mid 1990's, it was the dominant category leader, with virtually no competition, and a market share of about 75%*. Market environment changed when Kiwi emerged actively as one of Sara Lee India's core brand. The changing shoe care habits of consumers and growing popularity of new shoe types further changed the market environment for Cherry. By the end of 1990's, Cherry was losing its shine. The brand had lost its market share steeply from 1999 onwards, and by 2002 it fell to a low of 61% - a drop of 12% in market share. A series of measures helped Cherry to fight this serious erosion to its leadership position, and the slide was arrested in 2003. From...

...Breaking Out Unilever's Value By Product Line Trefis Team , Contributor Comment Now Unilever is one of the leading global fast moving consumer goods companies, primarily competing with other household and personal care companies like Proctor and Gamble, Colgate Palmolive, and Reckitt Benckiser. We currently maintain a price estimate for Unilever at $37.89, roughly 23% ahead of the company’s market value. Unilever recently received regulatory approval from the European Union to acquire Sara Lee’s global personal care and European laundry business. [1] Given Unilever’s move to build its product portfolio, we examine the relative contribution of the company’s product lines below. Which of these segments do you think generates the greatest contribution to Unilever Group’s stock value? Make a selection below to see the answer A. Skin & Hair Care (Dove, Lux etc) B. Savoury Spreads & Dressings (Becel, BlueBand, Knorr etc) C. Ice Creams (Walls, Algida, Ben&Jerry’s etc) D. Fabric care (Surf, Omo etc) Unilever’s acquisition of Sara Lee’s global personal care and European laundry business is contingent upon the divestment of Sara Lee’s Sanex brand, which markets bath, shower, and deodorant products. [2] The move to acquire the Sara Lee unit strengthens Unilever’s market share in key European markets such as Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands.

So the process to build the employee pool and finally making the best choice from candidates differs a lot. The report is presenting a portfolio of five different types of organizations, which manifest the customized process suitable for each organization.

Damco out source much of their root level job but British American Tobacco (BAT), Standard Chartered Bank (SCB), Unilever, and Reckitt Benckiser (RB) do not out-source job, on the other hand; SCB take many of their employees on contract based. So recruitment and selection follow the required business process of different organizations. In this report we have presented our collected data from both primary and secondary sources, and analyzed them to present the information in a flow, that can clarify the individual characteristic of different organizations and as well as their recruitment and selection process. 8 CHAPTER-1 1.1 Background of the Report As part of an organization, HRM must...
