    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Super Sports is a new venture that is related with the sports industry. As we already know that

    Sports like Cricket , Hockey and others are very popular in India , particularly in Punjab . Punjab

    is the main hub for sports . Cities like Jalandhar are very popular in sports industry.

    We , therefore , after analyzing whole market of Jalandhar, with some research there as well,

    came to know that still there is lot of market in jalandhar that needs to be explored.

    We started with the analysis like situation analysis.

    In situation analysis we have taken three Cs:

    1. Company2. Customers3. Competitors

    Business concept

    Our business works on the concept of uniqueness in sports .Our quality of wood and finishing

    touch are our advantages.

    Goals

    y Short term To have a sustainable market share and to capture the untapped market. Thisis our first goal that we are working upon, because in Punjab there are already many local

    and national players in the market. And to attain the same the first strategy is to launch

    our SS-Passion product in the market in bulk than the other one and the ratio could be

    4:1. This is due to the reason the professional players will not easily accept the brands

    until it has a good image. That is why we are launching bats for the habitual at the initial

    stage.

    y Long term - build an image of a strong player in the market. This is our long term goaland can be achieved if we got a good image of our brands in the market. This could only

    be done after our first gone is achieved. We have designed lot strategies to achieve that

    level and would be discussed in promotions part.

    business persons are very concerned with the game. So the main reason behind our expectations

    is that the coming world cup is going to held in our subcontinent. It will impact a lot of our

    business and I hope it would be positive.

    Political & regulatory environment

    y We are using willow for our products, so there would be great danger for our business ifgovernment frames trees protection policies.

    y Other environmental protection organizations like WWF is also working onenvironmental protection and could prove as a threat to our business.

    capital and then the discussion various phenomena.

    PRODUCTIONPROCESS:

    Firstly we have wood in the form of raw material. Then it will go for shaping in the sawmill a

    machine to provide shape and will be handle by the skilled labour. 1 unit of product will take

    approximately4

    minutes to shape & size. In one day if we work for 8 hours we can produce 120

    units at 1 machine. As we have 2 machines we can produce 240 units in a day. Still this we have

    semi finished goods. Here will be inspection to check the size and right shape of the product.

    After this pesticides will be given and semi finished goods will be dry for a particular time this

    time depends upon the initial condition of raw material. After this process, process of rubbing,

    handling jointing & polishing will be done. At this stage again an inception will be done

    regarding polishing of the product. After passing by inspector stickering & packaging will be

    done. This will be our finished good.

    We can safe around 5000 units as inventory as semi finished goods so initially to produce 5000

    units it will take around 21 days so at the very beginning we need only skilled labour and

    inspector.

    HUMAN RESOURCE PLAN

    The establishment of a high motivation human resource program can result in important benefits

    to a firm. In the first place and most obviously, such a program allows for the creation of a

    positive work environment in which employee morale, job satisfaction, and productivity can be

    maximized. Also, a good human resources program will enable a firm to attract the best available

    employees, create a positive work milieu, and build cooperation and teamwork among the

    various groups in the company.

    There are eight basic elements in establishing a high motivation human resource program: (1)

    survey employee attitudes on a regular basis; (2) show an individualized concern for employee

    satisfaction; (3) communicate regularly and forthrightly with workers concerning company

    progress and direction; (4) treat all employees in a fair but firm manner; (5) maintain wages,

    salaries, and fringe benefits at competitive levels; (6) attempt to gain the allegiance of the natural

    leaders in the work force and channel them into management positions or employee

    organizations such as the suggestion committee or employee activity group; and (7) keep the

    work environment as clean and modern as the budget will allow; and (8) avoid hiring workers

    who do not have the qualifications to perform the work they are employed to do.

    Effective communication within management and between management and employees is very

    important in building employee morale and high productivity. We being the initiator and at the

    top management will hold regular meetings with line management to discuss company thinking

    on employee matters and get from these men and women the problems they are having in the

    working sphere..Our employees will also be informed as to the progress of the firm and what

    direction it proposes to take in the future

    REQUIREMENT OF LABOR

  • 8/7/2019 A BUSINESS PLAN (1)

    17/26

    17

    Total number of workers required will be 15.These workers are further classified into skilled and

    semi skilled workers which will be hired on the basis of the qualification and experience. The

    skilled workers will be provided the job of proroviding shapes to the raw material and the

    packaging and labeling work will be done by the semi skilled workers. There will be one

    inspector as well whose work will be to check the quality of not only the goods produced but

    also the quality of the raw materials and as well as the production process.

    Number of skilled labor= 9

    Number of semi skilled labor=5

    Inspector= 1

    SALARIES

    The first step in setting up an equitable wage/salary and benefit plan should be the review of

    wage, salary, and benefit levels for competitiveness in the market and for internal consistency.

    This should be followed by the drawing up of job descriptions and job specifications, the

    evaluation of positions, the taking of wage and salary surveys, the setting of new job rates whererequired, and the establishing of a wage/salary payment plan which relates output to merit

    increases and provides for wage/salary progressions which employees consider equitable.

    Salary given to the skilled workers will be 8000 per month.

    Salary given to the semi skilled workers will be 3000-4000 per month.

    Salary given to the inspector will be 7000 per month.

    INCENTIVES

    Employees will be provided with various incentives which are as follows:

  • 8/7/2019 A BUSINESS PLAN (1)

    18/26

    18

    Overtime-Under this the workers will be paid more on the basis of their time spend on their

    work.

    For skilled workers the overtime pay will be rs 40 per hour

    For semi skilled workers the overtime pay will be rs 20 per hour

    The workers will also be given healthy working environment and medical facilities as well

    because they have to spend their time on different machines.

    Facility of group insurance will also be given

    Some additional programs which build employee morale, motivation, and loyalty are the

    following:

    Company newsletter

    Employee electronic bulletin boards

    Partial or complete subsidization of cost of production worker work clothes

    Reasonable wash-up time for production workers

    Company sponsored employee discount purchase plan

    Employee activity committee to organize dances, dinners and sports leagues

    Annual open discussions between employees and top management - small groups meet with

    President and Human Resources Director to discuss employee relations subjects and company

    progress

    Company sports program partial or full subsidizing of cost of golf, bowling and baseball

    leagues and uniforms

    Scholarship awards to children of workers

    Suggestion system - with or without cash awards

    Keeping employees productive and satisfied with their work is not a difficult matter. The key to

    success is building an awareness of the problems which create employee discontent and low

    productivity, establishing a human resources program to counteract them, and operating the

    program as an integral part of general business operations.

    MARKETING PLAN

    SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

    In situation analysis we have taken three Cs:4

    .

    Company

    Company - SS-Sports.

    Product line- we are manufacturing two variants of cricket bats

    a) Ss- professional ( a fine quality willow made)b) Ss passion ( medium quality willow made)

    Technology and experience

    We are using traditional form of bat manufacturing i.e. handmade with simple tools of crafting.

    The reason is that a bat manufacturing is a very crucial task to perform and it can effectively be

    done through hands so that its quality can be maintained. A machine made bat is not so much

    good in comparison to it, moreover the other factor of choosing this method of manufacturing is

    that manufacturing through labour requires a nominal investment as only the cost factor is the

    wood and the salaries to them.

    We have the labour force that has the experience of over3 years in this industry. As discussed

    earlier that the experience is the main requirement to have an quality product, that is why we

    divided the whole process of manufacturing into different steps and the work is allotted as per

    this criteria among the semi-skilled and skilled labour.

    Goals

    y Short term To have a sustainable market share and to capture the untapped market. Thisis our first goal that we are working upon, because in Punjab there are already many local

    and national players in the market. And to attain the same the first strategy is to launch

    our SS-Passion product in the market in bulk than the other one and the ratio could be

    4:1. This is due to the reason the professional players will not easily accept the brands

    until it has a good image. That is why we are launching bats for the habitual at the initial

    stage.

    y Long term - build an image of a strong player in the market. This is our long term goaland can be achieved if we got a good image of our brands in the market. This could only

    be done after our first gone is achieved. We have designed lot strategies to achieve that

    level and would be discussed in promotions part.

    Market size- we are currently focusing on Punjab and further to go for whole north region. This

    is due to the factor as we have a little amount to contribute on promotional activities, and the

    production is less in the initial stages.

    Market segment we are segmenting the market on behavioural variable i.e. product end use.

    The cricket is the No. 1 game in India. It is sometimes called as religion. Because of the fact

    that India has largest number of fans. The school and college students especially play it as to pass

    the time and to satisfy the need of entertaining themselves. The other group is of youths who

    plays cricket as career and profession, in national, state or district levels.

    Ss-Professional- for those who play as their career.

    Ss- Passion for those who play as hobby.

    3) Competitors.Here if we look at the sports industry then cricket has various competitors like football,

    volleyball, badminton and tennis. But if we talk about the cricket only our competitors are local

    sports goods manufacturers as well as national brands of cricket bats.

    Strengths of competitors

    1) Products in the market from long period: They have got a plus point of a long termpresence in the market as everybody knows them and have developed loyalty among their

    customers.

    2) Knowledge about customer needs: They know but people actually demand as they knowit through customer grievances and regular feedback.

    3) Sponsorship taken of various cricket tournaments: They have already signed variouscontracts of sponsorships over a number of years with many upcoming events.

    4) Tie-ups with various schools and colleges: Colleges also organise many tournaments likeinter-college or intra-college tournaments so many brands already have tied-up with

    them.

    Weaknesses of competitors

    1) More intermidiatories from manufacturer to customers: There are many intermidiatoriesbetween the manufactures and the ultimate consumers in case of the present competitors.

    2) Low quality of wood used: They generally use substitute for willow and is not so stableand efficient for playing.

    3) Low quality: Manufacturing by machines results to poor quality. They manufacturesmainly by using machines, this could result in poor quality of bats

    4) Generally heavy: As they use substitute for willow, the other wood is generally heavierand the final product is of more weight.

    PEST ANALYSIS

    Political & regulatory environment

    y We are using willow for our products, so there would be great danger for our business ifgovernment frames trees protection policies.

    y Other environmental protection organizations like WWF is also working onenvironmental protection and could prove as a threat to our business.

    Economic environment

    y Increasing rates of diesel put to more cost: we are sending goods from Kashmir to jammuthrough trucks and later on by trains. As petroleum rates are increasing day by day so it

    could result in more cost to us and would force us to decrease our profit margin or to

    increase the price of products.

    y Octoi and other charges: If Punjab govt. would increase the octroi and taxes then it willincrease our cost of transportation.

    y Cost of living and inflation could force us to increase our products price: The demandrise in prices would result us to increase the salaries of workers and employees them

    ultimately to write off we have to increase the prices.

    Social/Cultural environment

    y Very busy time table: In a busy schedule there is less time for games. In fast moving lifenobody has enough time to entertain him by playing. Also the people who really like to

    play cricket could not even find an hour to play.

    y Changes trends of playing: the people are finding other ways e.g. switching from outdoorto indoor games as relatively less cost is there and also can be played involving every

    member of family.

    y Decreasing land for playing in cities: As the trend is changing and the open spaces arebeing filled by buildings so that is why people are finding other forms of playing.

    Technological environment

    y Shift to computer based cricket games. Now in the modern technological era thealternative to the outdoor is there. EA CRICKET is a computer based game where an user

    can satisfy his hobby of cricket in home or office.

    STP Model

    Segmentation

    We are segmenting the market on behavioural variable i.e. product end use. That how a person

    treats the product based on his requirement .it divided the market into two category people:

    1) Professional players.2) Habitual and general players.

    Cricket is the No. 1 game in India. It is sometimes called as religion. Because of the fact that

    India has largest number of fans. The school and college students especially play it as to pass the

    time and to satisfy the need of entertaining themselves. The other group is of youths who plays

    cricket as career and profession, in national, state or district levels.

    Targeting

    We are mainly targeting the people who are playing as an entertainment. Because it has a great

    demand of quality but generally at a low price .this group wants the rigid and stable product that

    could cost them less. The main reason for targeting this category was to introduce a possible best

    thing at a low price. Here the pull strategy will work, as the demand will got higher and higher.

    Because we are penetrating our product. And a little promotion will do the rest to increase the

    sales. And probably we can increase our rates at later stage.

    Positioning

    Through our various promotional activities that are mentioned below like sponsorship,

    advertisements, hoardings and banners, and especially through the sponsorships of college

    cricket tournaments.

    FOUR PS OF MARKETING

    1)ProductSs Passion (a medium quality willow made) - this is our basic product that we are

    going to launch in the low range cricket bat category. This is medium-quality willow

    product but comparatively very efficient and long lasting than its competitors products.

    It is good featured product than its category due to its light weight and low price.

    Moreover it is stable and designed by the skilled labour and not using any kind of

    machines and equipments.it is simply for the habitual and general players.

    Ss- Professional (a high quality willow made) - this is a superior product and specially

    designed for the people who are playing cricket as their career. It is made from the fine

    quality willow and would compete the Indian market players like BDM and Fenta. It is

    cheaper than its competitors as we are selling them without any intermediatories and due

    to these economies we maintained a lower price. It takes about twenty-one days produce

    this bat because a lot of steps are required to follow.
