...HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LIMITED (HUL) QUESTION 1. EXTERNAL ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANISATION HUL is one of the largest FMCG Company with more than 100 factories all over India. It is 75 year old and touches every second Indian’s life, out of three. Its mission statement is- “add vitality to life” (<http://www.hul.co.in/aboutus/introductiontohul/>) One of the most effective tools for analysing external environment of an organisation is PEST ANALYSIS. 1.POLITICAL FACTORS: These factors affect the organisation in many ways. Depending on the situation, these factors can generate opportunities for organisation or may be disadvantages too by imposing taxes and duties. Indian political system is going through various changes. In India, FMCG market can be categorised into rural and urban. Rural sector is mainly dependant on agriculture as its main source of living is with generally lower penetration levels and more unorganised part. Whereas, urban sector has high penetration levels and more spending power. That is why rural sector was the main area of focus for government for development in the recent past. There were many schemes run by government to generate employment and major investments were made in infrastructure development. Because of all this, there was an increase in disposable income level in rural sector and hence rise in FMCGs demand. (<http://www.hul.co.in/>) HUL has its own set standards to deal with political issues. It applies its rapport and experience to...

...Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) or consumer packaged goods (CPG) are products that are sold quickly and at relatively low cost. The term FMCGs refers to those retail goods that are generally replaced or fully used up over a short period of days, weeks, or months, and within one year. This contrasts with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances, which are generally replaced over a period of several years. FMCG have a short shelf life, either as a result of high consumer demand or because the product deteriorates rapidly. Some FMCGs – such as meat, fruits and vegetables, dairy products and baked goods – are highly perishable. Other goods such as alcohol, toiletries, pre-packaged foods, soft drinks and cleaning products have high turnover rates. An excellent example is a newspaper- every day's newspaper carries different content, making one useless just one day later, necessitating a new purchase every day. The following are the main characteristics of FMCGs:[1] • From the consumers' perspective: • Frequent purchase • Low involvement (little or no effort to choose the item – products with strong Brand loyalty are exceptions to this rule) • Low price • From the marketers' angle: • High volumes • Low contribution margins • Extensive distribution networks • High stock turnover Examples include non-durable goods such as soft drinks, toilees, and grocery items.[1][2] Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally...

...Marketing Channel Strategies in Rural Emerging Markets Unlocking Business Potential By Benjamin Neuwirth Benjamin Neuwirth, Kellogg School of Management, bneuwirth2012@kellogg.northwestern.edu 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In his landmark book “The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid,” C.K. Prahalad describes the profits that can be earned by selling products to “Bottom of the Pyramid” customers. While there is truth to this, companies face unique challenges when operating in the rural regions of emerging markets where many of these customers live. For example, the consumer population is dispersed over a wide geographic area, transportation infrastructure is often poorly developed, and many consumers have sporadic and extremely low incomes. This paper examines these challenges from a marketing channel perspective. The fundamental question is: How can companies entering into rural emerging markets design a marketing channel strategy that meets the needs of customers and allows for the long-term profitable success of the business? I begin answering this question by examining common challenges that companies operating in this environment face. Each challenge is accompanied by examples of companies that have solved the problem in a unique way. Then, I develop a generalized framework for designing marketing channels in rural emerging markets. Finally, I apply the framework to d.light Design, a company that manufactures and sells solar lanterns in India and Africa and that I worked...
