Sources of data collection
Collection of Data: 1. Primary Data: 1. Data collected from Database of the company; 2. References
2. Secondary Data: 1. Discussions with managers 2. Referring newspaper, journals and magazines 3. Information collected from Internet
21
Reports of data collection and analysis
Data Collection:In addition to the intrinsic sampling error, the actual data collection process will introduce additional errors. These errors are called non-sampling errors. Some nonsampling errors may be intentional on the part of the interviewer, who may introduce a bias by leading the respondent to provide a certain response. The interviewer also may introduce unintentional errors, for example, due to not having a clear understanding of the interview process or due to fatigue. Respondents also may introduce errors. A respondent may introduce intentional errors by lying or simply by not responding to a question. A respondent may introduce unintentional errors by not understanding the question, guessing, not paying close attention, and being fatigued or distracted. Such non-sampling errors can be reduced through quality control techniques.
Data Analysis - Preliminary Steps:Before analysis can be performed, raw data must be transformed into the right format. First, it must be edited so that errors can be corrected or omitted. The data must then be coded; this procedure converts the edited raw data into numbers or symbols. A codebook is created to document how the data was coded. Finally, the data is tabulated to count the number of samples falling into various categories. Simple tabulations count the occurrences of each variable independently of the other variables. Cross tabulations, also known as contingency tables or cross tabs, treats two or more variables simultaneously. However, since the variables are in a two-dimensional table, cross tabbing more than two variables is difficult to visualize since more than two dimensions would be required. Cross tabulation can be performed for nominal and ordinal variables. Cross tabulation is the most commonly utilized data analysis method in marketing research. Many studies take the analysis no further than cross tabulation. This technique divides the sample into sub-groups to show how the dependent variable varies from one subgroup to another. A third variable can be introduced to uncover a relationship that initially was not evident.

Findings and observations
Enterprises always have a clear view of the market in which they act: without a strong knowledge of the markets, they can’t face their competitors and in a short time they could lose market share, beginning a decline phase. For this purpose the knowledge of the market assumes a strategic role since each step in any direction could be done only with a previous research on market players, products and features of their own environment.

Recommendations
Steel Industry has an important role to play in the development Of any economy. The sector’s sustained growth, therefore, is one of the Important prerequisites for attaining the level of GDP growth envisaged in the 11th Plan. The sectors growth during the 11th Plan, however, is going to be Largely driven by market forces in a deregulated economic environment. While the industry’s future prospects may be determined by Market forces, the Government will continue to play a pro-active role Especially in areas where the actual achievements fall short of expectations. At the same time there is also a need to exploit the industry’s growth potential Fully. The on-going processes of global relocation and world-wide restructuring have clearly shown that the focus of the industry will gradually shift to those Countries which have raw materials, low cost labour and technical manpower, High potential of technology absorption and a rapidly growing domestic Market as well as proximity to other growing markets. India has the potential To emerge as a global player during the Eleventh Plan period, if the inherent Advantages like availability of quality iron ore, cheap labour, and technical Manpower and growing domestic demand are leveraged properly. Its Capability has already been demonstrated in the last decade and a half when It improved its position from the 11th place in 1991 to become the 7th largest Producer of steel globally in 2005. As the 11th Plan period is going to be Crucial for not only maintaining but also improving the overall momentum of Growth in this sector and this for a conducive policy environment.
Few factor to be considered from my opinion to lead with above mentioned steel manufacturing companies are follow:1. RELATED TO PRICING :JSPL should look after his pricing factor. It is seen that pricing is one of the important key factor in field of marketing of product is manufactured. JSPL should have benchmark with government pricing factor because most of customers look for lower pricing during purchasing .This is the reason that customers make enquiry about pricing first of all from all steel manufacturing company, then they compare the price ,when they find that
27
after seeing the quotation they discuss about other price to the sells persons which is termed as negotiation .
2. RELATED TO KEY CUSTOMERS:According the position in terms of productivity mentioned above JSPL should increase his productivity capacity, which will help sells person to keep on his promises with the customers .It is seen that when demand is high nut productivity is low, his makes bad impact on the company. JSPL should focus on the expansion plan. 3. THE SEVEN C S SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. Consistent Quality Committed Delivery Customized Products Competitive Prices Complaint Settlement Contemporary Products Culture of Customer Services
4. The company should maintain good relationship with dealers. 5. The company should provide some more margins to dealers because if it happens then the dealers will be initiated to sell more and motivated.
6. There should be more promotional awareness.
7. There should be maintaining a gap between dealers in the same region.
8. While introducing product JSPL should use more innovative marketing campaigns.
28
Conclusion
At last it is concluded that the company as a whole is a well branded company. The goodwill of the company is good. As one of the India’s most valuable and respected corporations, JSPL is widely perceived to be dedicatedly nation – oriented .Chairman Mr. Naveen Jindal call this source of inspiration “ a commitment beyond the market ”.In his own words : “JSPL believes that its aspiration to crest enduring value for the nation provides the motives force to sustain growing shareholders value. JSPL practices this philosophy by not only driving each of its businesses towards international competitiveness but by also consciously contributing to enhancing the competitiveness of the larger value chain of which it is a part.’’
JSPL employs or 125000 people at more than nine locations across India. The company continuously endeavors to enhance its wealth generating capabilities in a globalization, fulfill the aspiration of its defence and non-defence. This overarching vision of the company is expressively captured in its position. At the onset I would like to thank all the associate authorities who have helped me out in this project a successful completion at the end.

Organizational culture
Organization Culture is an idea in the field of Organizational studies and Management which describes the psychological, attitude, experiences, beliefs and values (Personal and cultural values) of an organization. It has been defined as “the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by the people and groups in an organization that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization. The definition continues to explain organizational values, also known as “beliefs and idea about what kind if goals members of an organization should pursue and idea about appropriate kinds or standard of behaviour organizational member should Use to achieve the goal. From organizational value develop organizational norms, guidelines, or exceptions that prescribe appropriate kind of behaviour of organizational member toward one another.
Organizational culture and corporate culture are often used interchangeably but it is a mistake to state that they are different concepts. All corporations are also organizations but not all organization is
36
corporation. Organization includes religion institution, on-for-profit groups, and government agencies. There is even Canadian criminal code definition of :organized Crime” as meaning a group comprised of three or more person which has ,as one of its primary activities or purposes, the commission of serious offences which likely result in financial gain.” Corporations are organizations and there are legal entities. Corporate Culture is the total sum of the values, customs, traditions, and meaning that make a company unique. Corporate culture is often called “the character of an organization”, since it embodies the vision of the company’s founder. The value of a corporate culture influences the ethical standard within a corporation, as well as managerial behaviour. There are mainly two type of culture:1) Strong Culture 2) Weak Culture Strong culture is said to exist where staff respond to stimulus because of their alignment to organizational values. In such environments, strong cultures helps firm operate like well-oiled machine, cruising along with outstanding execution and perhaps minor tweaking of existing procedures here and there
Conversely there is Weak Culture where there is little alignment with organizational values and control must be exercised through extensive procedures and bureaucracy .Where culture is strong – people do things because
37
they believe it is the right thing to do –there is a risk of another phenomenon, Groupthink
Organization with their cultures are written below:1) Jindal Steel & Power is committed towards total satisfaction of customers and others stakeholders and achieving business excellence. 2) We at Jindal Steel & Power Limited will work for implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) at all spheres of our activities. 3) Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., Raigarh, is committed to work for effective utilization of all types of energy. 4) Jindal Steel & Power Limited is committed to establishing a safe work culture
