Reverse Logistics in Indian Automobile Industry

...Reverse Logistics in Indian Automobile Industry Reverse Logistics is a process in which a product moves in reverse through the supply chain network. It may be used for the purpose of recapturing value of a final product or for even proper disposal. It may also be termed – service, as the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and cost effective transfer of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished products and related information, from consumption to the point of origin, for the purpose of recapturing value of proper disposal. While the primary sectors involved in making use of this process may be classified as the Pharmaceutical Sector, Retail sector, Automobile sector and the Electronics sector, we are mainly about to focus all our attention to the practices of ‘Reverse Logistics’ in the Indian Automobile Industry. To truly know why the whole idea of ‘Reverse Logistics’ assumes significance when considered in terms of the Automobile Industry, first we need to think of the nature of the final product i.e. Automobiles or Vehicles as we call them. The parameter one needs to look at is the life cycle of the product and what happens to the final product once it reaches the end of its useful life. By its very nature, it’s difficult to predict the life cycle of the final product. This is because; it is highly susceptible to the nuances of the human subjectivities. But even if we are unable to predict the duration of the life cycle, we have definitely...

In order to accelerate and sustain growth in the automotive sector, a roadmap is needed to steer, coordinate and synergize the efforts of all stakeholders. Exogenous and endogenous factors affecting industry also affects the competitiveness of the firms.

Underdeveloped economies tend to be competitive by producing cheaper products, developing economies by producing better products, and developed economies by producing innovative products continuously. Though Indian automobile manufacturers are manufacturing innovative products and leading India to a new summit, there are various roadblocks, which prevent this industry from being a global player.

Capital Structure and Its Product Market Determinants

...41 Asia-Pacific Business Review Vol. VI, No. 2, April - June 2010 pp. 41-49, ISSN: 0973-2470 Capital Structure and Product Market Determinants: Empirical Evidence from the Indian Automobile Industry Himanshu Joshi This paper provides insights into the way in which the capital structure is determined by product market determinants, research and development activity and profitability. This paper is an attempt to test relevance of empirical evidences found in matured markets to the Indian market condition. Automobile industry is taken up for the study because of its oligopoly nature and easy availability of product prices. Some of the results are very different from the similar studies conducted in the advanced economies. It is found that the firms in the same industry can have different capital structures and there is a negative correlation between the profitability and capital structure of the companies. Interestingly, no correlation is found between R&D expenses and capital structure of the company. It was also concluded that no extra market power is attained because of high leverage. Keywords: Capital Structure, Product Market, Market Structure, Profitability, Market Power, Capital Expenditure Introduction Capital structure refers to the way a corporation finances its assets through some combination of equity, debt, or hybrid securities. A firm’s capital structure is thus, the composition or ‘structure’ of its liabilities. The modern theory of capital structure began...

In the early 15th century, the Portuguese arrived in China and the interaction of the two cultures led to a variety of new technologies, including the creation of a wheel that turned under its own power. By the 1600s, small steam-powered engine models were developed, but it was another century before a full-sized engine-powered automobile was created. The dream a carriage that moved on its own was realized only in the 18th century when the first car rolled on the streets. Steam, petroleum gas, electricity and petrol started to be used in these cars. On a growth path The Indian auto industry, worth US$ 34 billion in 2006, has grown at a CAGR of 14 per...

Performance Appraisal

...INTRODUCTION Performance Evaluation or Appraisal is the process of deciding how employees do their jobs. Performance here refers to the degree of accomplishment of the tasks that make up an individual’s job. It indicates how well an individual is fulfilling the job requirements. Often the term is confused with efforts, which means energy expended and used in a wrong sense. Performance is always measured in terms of results. Definition Performance appraisal is method of evaluating the behavior of employees in the work spot, normally including both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance. It is a systematic and objective way of evaluating both work-related behavior and potential of employees. It is a process that involves determining and communicating to an employee how he or she is performing the job and ideally, establishing a plan of improvement. Performance appraisal is broader term than Merit Rating. In the past managers used to focus on the traits of an employee while ranking people for promotions and salary increases. Employee’s traits such as honesty, dependability, drive, personality, etc., were compared with others and ranked or rated. The attempt was to find what the person has (traits) rather than what he does (performance); the focus was on the input and not on the output. This kind of evaluation was open to criticism because of the doubtful relationship between performance and mere possession of certain traits. ...

...dominated Car Industry from 1940s to mid 80s. * In 1955 Royal Enfield from UK was the first company to export motorcycle to India. This happened due to the requirement of rough, strong motorcycle by Indian Army. Bullet and Rajdoot were 2 dominating motorcycles in India before liberalization. Among Scooters Bajaj Chetak and LML Vespa were popular. Over the last 20 years, Indian Auto industry has got the global business opportunities to grow and at the same time there have been threats from giant global competitors. * From the above figure we can prominently observe that Globalization has attracted many foreign brands to India, but we are lagging in producing indigenous vehicles. We have only 3 or 4 major companies producing indigenous cars. (Mahindra, HM, Tata Motors, Force Motors). Role of Policy Reforms over last 20 years: * Decrease in import restrictions and reduced tariff levels. * Smooth licensing and approval process to encourage FDI in automobile sector. * Robust legal system and stable foreign exchange regime. FDI and cross border trade has accelerated since 1991 in many industries including automobile sector. The WTO has been facilitating trade and investment liberalization.
