INDUSTRY PROFILE:
ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: India is the second largest manufacturer and
producer of two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to Japan and China in terms of the
number of two-wheelers produced and domestic sales respectively. This distinction was
achieved due to variety of reasons like restrictive policy followed by the Government of
India towards the passenger car industry, rising demand for personal transport, inefficiency
in the public transportation system etc.
The Indian two-wheeler industry made a small beginning in the early 50s when
Automobile Products of India (API) started manufacturing scooters in the country. Until
1958, API and Enfield were the sole producers.
In 1948, Bajaj Auto began trading in imported Vespa scooters and three-wheelers.
Finally, in 1960, it set up a shop to manufacture them in technical collaboration with Piaggio
of Italy. The agreement expired in 1971.
In the initial stages, the scooter segment was dominated by API; it was later
overtaken by Bajaj Auto. Although various government and private enterprises entered the
fray for scooters, the only new player that has lasted till today is LML.
Under the regulated regime, foreign companies were not allowed to operate in India.
It was a complete seller market with the waiting period for getting a scooter from Bajaj Auto
being as high as 12 years.
The motorcycles segment was no different, with only three manufacturers viz
Enfield, Ideal Jawa, and Escorts. While Enfield bullet was a four-stroke bike, Jawa and the
Rajdoot were two-stroke bikes. The motorcycle segment was initially dominated by Enfield
350cc bikes and Escorts 175cc bike.
The two-wheeler market was opened to foreign competition in the mid-80s. And the
then market leaders - Escorts and Enfield - were caught unaware by the onslaught of the
100cc bikes of the four Indo-Japanese joint ventures. With the availability of fuel efficient
RIT, Department of Management Studies, Hassan. Page 5
low power bikes, demand swelled, resulting in Hero Honda - then the only producer of four
stroke bikes (100cc category), gaining a top slot.
The first Japanese motorcycles were introduced in the early eighties. TVS Suzuki
and Hero Honda brought in the first two-stroke and four-stroke engine motorcycles
respectively. These two players initially started with assembly of CKD kits, and later on
progressed to indigenous manufacturing. In the 90s the major growth for motorcycle
segment was brought in by Japanese motorcycles, which grew at a rate of nearly 25%
CAGR in the last five years.
The industry had a smooth ride in the 50s, 60s and 70s when the Government
prohibited new entries and strictly controlled capacity expansion. The industry saw a sudden
growth in the 80s. The industry witnessed a steady growth of 14% leading to a peak volume
of 1.9mn vehicles in 1990.
The entry of Kinetic Honda in mid-eighties with a Variomatic scooter helped in
providing ease of use to the scooter owners. This helped in inducing youngsters and working
women, towards buying scooters, who were earlier, inclined towards moped purchases. In
the 90s, this trend was reversed with the introduction of scooterettes. In line with this, the
scooter segment has consistently lost its part of the market share in the two-wheeler market.
In 1990, the entire automobile industry saw a drastic fall in demand. This resulted in
a decline of 15% in 1991 and 8% in 1992, resulting in a production loss of 0.4mn vehicles.
Barring Hero Honda, all the major producers suffered from recession in FY93 and FY94.
Hero Honda showed a marginal decline in 1992.
The reasons for recession in the sector were the incessant rise in fuel prices, high
input costs and reduced purchasing power due to significant rise in general price level and
credit crunch in consumer financing. Factors like increased production in 1992, due to new
entrants coupled with the recession in the industry resulted in company either reporting
losses or a fall in profits.
RIT, Department of Management Studies, Hassan. Page 6
India is one of the very few countries manufacturing three-wheelers in the world. It
is the world's largest manufacturer and seller of three-wheelers. Bajaj Auto commands a
monopoly in the domestic market with a market share of above 80%, the rest is shared by
Bajaj Tempo, Greaves Ltd and Scooters India.
The total number of registered two-wheelers and three-wheelers on road in India, as
on March 31, 1998 was 27.9mn and 1.7mn respectively. The two wheeler population has
almost doubled in 1996 from a base of 12.6mn in 1990.

ABOUT TVS MOTOR COMPANY:
A. BACKROUND AND INCEPTION OF THE COMPANY
TVS Motor traces its origins back to the entrepreneurial spirit of Trichur Vengaram
Sundaram Iyengar who gave up lucrative careers in the Indian Railways and in banking to
set up his own business. He began with Madurai's first bus service in 1911 and founded
T.V.Sundaram Iyengar and Sons Limited, a company that consolidated its presence in the
transportation business with a large fleet of trucks and buses under the name of Southern
Roadways Limited. When he died in 1955 his sons took the company ahead with several
forays in the automobile sector, including finance, insurance, and manufacture of two-
wheelers, tyres, and components. The group has managed to run 33 companies that account
for a combined turnover of nearly $3 billion.
Early years:
Sundaram Clayton, then the flagship company, was founded in 1962 in collaboration
with Clayton Dewandre Holdings, United Kingdom. It manufactured brakes, exhausts,
compressors and various other automotive parts. The company set up a plant at Hosur in
1978 to manufacture mopeds as part of a new division. A technical collaboration with the
Japanese auto giant resulted in the joint-venture Ind Suzuki Limited in 1982 between
Sundaram Clayton Ltd and Suzuki Motor Corporation. Commercial production of
motorcycles began in 1984.
Suzuki relationship
TVS and Suzuki shared a 19 year long relationship that was aimed at technology
transfer to enable design and manufacture of two-wheelers specifically for the Indian
market. Rechristened TVS-Suzuki, the company brought out several models such as the
Suzuki Samurai, Suzuki Shogun, and Suzuki Fiero. Differences in opinion on how to run the
joint venture eventually led to the partners going their separate ways in 2001 with the
company being renamed TVS Motor, relinquishing rights to use the Suzuki name. There was
also a 30 month moratorium period during which Suzuki promised not to enter the Indian
RIT, Department of Management Studies, Hassan. Page 9
market with competing two-wheelers. The company also got over a period of labour unrest
that required Chairman Venu Srinivasan to take tough measures to resurrect a company that
was in a state of turmoil. He would go on to invest in new technology, nurture in-house
design, and implement Toyota-style quality programs.
Recent
Over the years TVS Motor has grown to be the largest in the group, both in terms of
size and turnover, with four state of the art[6] manufacturing plants in Hosur, Mysore and
Nalagarh in India and Karawang in Indonesia. TVS Motor is credited with many innovations
in the Indian automobile industry, notable among them being the introduction of India's first
two-seater moped, the TVS 50cc. The company became the leader in its category of sub
100 cc mopeds, having sold 7 million units. It also introduced the TVS Scooty, which is
India's second largest brand in the scooterette segment. The TVS Jive launched in November
2009 became India's first clutch-free motorbike aimed at a stress-free rider experience while
the unisex scooter TVS Wego is targeted at urban couples, featuring body-balance
technology for easier handling. On 1 June 2012, TVS Motors reported a dip of 5% in its
total sales for May 2012. In July 2012, TVS Motors and BMW Motorrad were reported to
be in talks for technology sharing.

CHAPTER-3
MCKENCY’s 7 S FRAMEWORK:
The 7S framework has first appeared in the book "The Art of Japanese Management"
by Richard Pascal and Antony Athos in 1981. The two authors were looking at how
Japanese industry had been so successful, at around the same time Tom Peter and Robert
waterman were exploring what made a company excellent. The 7S Model was born at a
meeting of the four authors in 1978. It then appeared in the book "In search of Excellence"
by Peters and Waterman in 1982. Subsequently, it was taken up as a basic tool by the Global
Management Consultancy Company Me Kinsey to diagnose the cause of organizational
problems and to formulate programs for improvement, then on it became famous as Me
Kinsey 7S Model.
7S-Model
The seven-S are a framework for analyzing organization and their effectiveness,

capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and
changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore it
