PREFACE
Shampoo is a hair care product used for the removal of oils, dirt, skin
particles, dandruff, environmental pollutants and other contaminant particles
that gradually build up in hair. The goal is to remove the unwanted build-up
without stripping out so much as to make hair unmanageable.
Shampoo, when lathered with water, is a surfactant, which, while cleaning
the hair and scalp, can remove the natural oils (sebum) which lubricate the
hair shaft.
Shampooing is frequently followed by conditioners which increase the ease
of combing and styling.
In this project I have discussed a comparative study of Shampoo
manufactured by HUL and ITC.

The identity changes at HLL are driven by Unilever's attempt to create a uniform
corporate brand across the world. On February 12, 2004, Unilever had rolled out anew corporate brand in line with its future direction.
Since then, almost all the Unilever subsidiaries have moved to the new identity,
which consists of the Unilever brand followed by the name of the country (e.g.
Unilever Japan).
In India, managing the switch will be far from easy. Hindustan Lever has had a
decades old heritage in India. Lever Brothers began operating in India way back in
1933 and HLL came into being in 1956.
Since then, HLL always had very strong local roots and was rarely looked upon as a
multinational. Right from the late 1950s, several local stalwarts like Prakash
Tandon, T Thomas, AS Ganguly and SM Dutta went on to head the company. Even
brands like Lifebuoy, Surf and Lux have been household names for a long time.
Interestingly, this strong local association has emerged in extensive consumer
research that has done over the past few months. Research shows that the name
'Hindustan' is very strongly etched in consumer memory.
Managers at HLL say they prefer to preserve that heritage. "We are keen to leverage
that equity," says a HLL manager, on conditions of anonymity.
Three options was shortlisted for the new name: Hindustan Unilever Limited
(HUL), Unilever Hindustan Ltd and finally, Unilever India. The first option -- HUL
-- seems the most likely.

MISSION
Unilever's mission is to add Vitality to life. We meet everyday needs fornutrition, hygiene, and personal care with brands that help people feel good,look good and get more out of life.
HISTORY
HUL, is a 51% subsidiary of the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate, Unilever, oneof the largest FMCG companies in the world.
Over the years, HUL had acquired a tremendous reputation as one of India'sbest managed companies. Despite being the subsidiary of an MNC, HULwas perceived to be more Indian than foreign, in the way it managed itsoperations. HUL was believed to operate with considerably more autonomythan other subsidiaries in the Unilever system.
HUL's origin went back to 1885 when the Lever Brothers set up 'WilliamHesketh Lever', in England. In 1888, the company entered India byexporting 'Sunlight', its laundry soap. In 1930, the company merged with'Margarine Unie' (a Netherlands based company which exported
anaspati to India), to form Unilever.
In 1931, Unilever set up its first Indian subsidiary, the Hindustan VanaspatiManufacturing Company for the production of vanaspati followed by theestablishment of Lever Brothers India Ltd. in 1933 and United Traders Ltd.in 1935, for the distribution of personal products. In November 1956, thesethree subsidiaries merged to form HUL.
In the 1990s, HUL expanded its operations through mergers andacquisitions. In April 1993, the company acquired its largest competitor,
Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO), the biggest such deal in Indian industrytill that time. HUL formed a 50:50 joint venture with another Tata company,Lakme Ltd in 1995. The venture named 'Lakme Lever Ltd.' marketedLakme's leading cosmetics and other associated products. Subsequently in1998, Lakme sold its products to HUL and divested its 50% stake in theventure.

In January 1996, group company Brooke Bond Lipton India Ltd. (BBLIL)merged with HUL. Unilever had acquired Lipton in 1972, and Lipton Tea(India) Ltd. Was incorporated in 1977. Brooke Bond had joined the Unileverfold in 1984 through an international acquisition. Brooke Bond and LiptonIndia merged in July 1993 to form BBLIL.
Another group company, Pond's India Ltd, merged with HUL in January1998. Pond's India Ltd. had been present in India since 1947. It became anHUL group company when Unilever acquired Chesebrough Pond's USA in1986.
In January 2000, in a historic step, the government decided to award 74 percent equity in Modern Foods to HUL, thereby beginning the divestment ofgovernment equity in public sector undertakings (PSU) to private sector
partners. HUL's entry into Bread is a strategic extension of the company'swheat business. In 2002, HUL acquired the government's remaining stake inModern Foods.
In 2003, HUL acquired the Cooked Shrimp and Pasteurised Crabmeatbusiness of the Amalgam Group of Companies, a leader in value addedMarine Products exports.
On June 25, 2007, Hindustan Lever Limited announced new corporateidentity of the change of the company name to Hindustan Unilever
Limited.
The Company believes that the new name provides the optimum balancebetween maintaining the heritage of the Company and the synergies ofglobal alignment with the corporate name of Unilever. Most importantly thename retains Hindustan as the first word in its name to reflect theCompanys continued commitment to local economy, consumers, partnersand employees.

Billion. ITC is rated among the World's Best Big Companies, Asia's 'Fab 50'
and the World's Most Reputable Companies by Forbes magazine, among

Confectionery, Information Technology, Branded Apparel, Personal Care,
Stationery, Safety Matches and other FMCG products. While ITC is an
outstanding market leader in its traditional businesses of Cigarettes, Hotels,

even in its nascent businesses of Packaged Foods & Confectionery, Branded
Apparel, Personal Care and Stationery.
As one of India's most valuable and respected corporations, ITC is
widely perceived to be dedicatedly nation-oriented. Chairman Y C

Deveshwar calls this source of inspiration "a commitment beyond the
market". In his own words: "ITC believes that its aspiration to create
enduring value for the nation provides the motive force to sustain growing
shareholder value. ITC 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."
ITC's diversified status originates from its corporate strategy aimed at
creating multiple drivers of growth anchored on its time-tested core
competencies: unmatched distribution reach, superior brand-building
capabilities, effective supply chain management and acknowledged service
skills in hotelier. Over time, the strategic forays into new businesses are
expected to garner a significant share of these emerging high-growth
markets in India.
ITC's Agro-Business is one of India's largest exporters of agricultural
products. ITC is one of the country's biggest foreign exchange earners (US $
3.2 billion in the last decade). The Company's 'e-Choupal' initiative is
enabling Indian agriculture significantly enhance its competitiveness by
empowering Indian farmers through the power of the Internet. This
transformational strategy, which has already become the subject matter of a
case study at Harvard Business School, is expected to progressively create
for ITC a huge rural distribution infrastructure, significantly enhancing the
Company's marketing reach.

ITC's wholly owned Information Technology subsidiary, ITC Infotech India
Limited, is aggressively pursuing emerging opportunities in providing end-
to-end IT solutions, including e-enabled services and business process
outsourcing.
ITC's production facilities and hotels have won numerous national and
international awards for quality, productivity, safety and environment
management systems. ITC was the first company in India to voluntarily seek
a corporate governance rating.
ITC employs over 24,000 people at more than 60 locations across India. The
Company continuously endeavors to enhance its wealth generating
capabilities in a globalizing environment to consistently reward more than
3,83,000 shareholders, fulfill the aspirations of its stakeholders and meet
societal expectations. This over-arching vision of the company is
expressively captured in its corporate positioning statement: "Enduring
Value. For the nation. For the Shareholder."
History of ITC:
TC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name of 'Imperial
Tobacco Company of India Limited'. Its beginnings were humble. A leased
office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the centre of the Company's
existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by
purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L.
Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the
Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the beginning
-

of a long and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's
headquarter building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land
two years later, would go on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated
landmarks. The Company's ownership progressively Indianised, and the
name of the Company was changed to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. In recognition
of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide range of
businesses - Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology,
Packaging, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-Exports, Foods, Lifestyle
Retailing and Greeting Gifting & Stationery - the full stops in the Company's
name were removed effective September 18, 2001. The Company now
stands rechristened 'ITC Limited'.
Though the first six decades of the Company's existence were primarily
devoted to the growth and consolidation of the Cigarettes and Leaf
Tobacco businesses, the Seventies witnessed the beginnings of a corporate
transformation that would usher in momentous changes in the life of the
Company.
ITC's Packaging & Printing Business was set up in 1925 as a strategic
backward integration for ITC's Cigarettes business. It is today India's most
sophisticated packaging house.
In 1975 the Company launched its Hotels business with the acquisition of a
hotel in Chennai which was rechristened 'ITC-Welcome group Hotel of
Nepal as an Indo-Nepal and British joint venture. Since inception, its shares
have been held by ITC, British American Tobacco and various independent
shareholders in Nepal. In August 2002, Surya Tobacco became a subsidiary
of ITC Limited and its name was changed to Surya Nepal Private Limited
(Surya Nepal).

In 1990, ITC acquired Tribeni Tissues Limited, a Specialty paper
manufacturing company and a major supplier of tissue paper to the cigarette
industry. The merged entity was named the Tribeni Tissues Division (TTD).
To harness strategic and operational synergies, TTD was merged with the
Bhadrachalam Paperboards Division to form the Paperboards & Specialty
Papers Division in November 2002.
Also in 1990, leveraging its agri-sourcing competency, ITC set up the Agri
Business Division for export of agri-commodities. The Division is today
one of India's largest exporters. ITC's unique and now widely acknowledged
e-Choupal initiative began in 2000 with soya farmers in Madhya Pradesh.
Now it extends to 10 states covering over 4 million farmers. ITC's first rural
mall, christened 'Choupal Saagar' was inaugurated in August 2004 at Sehore.
On the rural retail front, 24 'Choupal Saagars' are now operatonal in the 3
states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
In 2000, ITC launched a line of high quality greeting cards under the brand
name 'Expressions'. In 2002, the product range was enlarged with the
introduction ofGift wrappers, Autograph books and Slam books. In the
same year, ITC also launched 'Expressions Matrubhasha', a vernacular
range of greeting cards in eight languages and 'Expressions Paperkraft', a
range of premium stationery products. In 2003, the company rolled out
'Classmate', a range of notebooks in the school stationery segment.
ITC also entered the Lifestyle Retailing business with the Wills Sport range
of international quality relaxed wear for men and women in 2000. The Wills
Lifestyle chain of exclusive stores later expanded its range to include Wills
Classic formal wear (2002) and Wills Clublife evening wear (2003). ITC
-

also initiated a foray into the popular segment with its men's wear brand,
John Players, in 2002. In 2006, Wills Lifestyle became title partner of the
country's most premier fashion event - Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week
- that has gained recognition from buyers and retailers as the single largest
B-2-B platform for the Fashion Design industry. To mark the occasion, ITC
launched a special 'Celebration Series', taking the event forward to
consumers. In 2007, the Company introduced 'Miss Players'- a fashion
brand in the popular segment for the young woman.
In 2000, ITC spun off its information technology business into a wholly
owned subsidiary, ITC Infotech India Limited, to more aggressively
pursue emerging opportunities in this area. Today ITC Infotech is one of
Indias fastest growing global IT and IT-enabled services companies and has
established itself as a key player in offshore outsourcing, providing
outsourced IT solutions and services to leading global customers across key
focus verticals - Manufacturing, BFSI (Banking, Financial Services &
Insurance), CPG&R (Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail), THT (Travel,
Hospitality and Transportation) and Media & Entertainment.
ITC's foray into the Foods business is an outstanding example of
successfully blending multiple internal competencies to create a new driver
of business growth. It began in August 2001 with the introduction of
'Kitchens of India' ready-to-eat Indian gourmet dishes. In 2002, ITC
entered the confectionery and staples segments with the launch of the brands
mint-o and Candyman confectionery and Aashirvaad atta (wheat flour).
2003 witnessed the introduction of Sunfeast as the Company entered the
biscuits segment. ITC's entered the fast growing branded snacks category
-

with Bingo! in 2007. In just six years, the Foods business has grown to a
significant size with over 200 differentiated products under six distinctive
brands, with an enviable distribution reach, a rapidly growing market share
and a solid market standing.
In 2002, ITC's philosophy of contributing to enhancing the competitiveness
of the entire value chain found yet another expression in the Safety Matches
initiative. ITC now markets popular safety matches brands like iKno,
Mangaldeep, Aim, Aim Mega and Aim Metro.
ITC's foray into the marketing of Agarbattis (incense sticks) in 2003
marked the manifestation of its partnership with the cottage sector. ITC's
popular agarbattis brands include Spriha and Mangaldeep across a range of
fragrances like Rose, Jasmine, Bouquet, Sandalwood, Madhur, Sambrani
and Nagchampa.
ITC introduced Essenza Di Wills, an exclusive range of fine fragrances and
bath & body care products for men and women in July 2005. Inizio, the
signature range underEssenza Di Wills provides a comprehensive grooming
regimen with distinct lines for men (Inizio Homme) and women (Inizio
Femme). Continuing with its tradition of bringing world class products to
Indian consumers the Company launched 'Fiama Di Wills', a premium
range of Shampoos, Shower Gels and Soaps in September, October and
December 2007 respectively. The Company also launched the 'Superia'
range of Soaps and Shampoos in the mass-market segment at select markets
in October 2007 and Vivel De Wills & Vivel range of soaps in February and

2001 with the launch of the Kitchens of India brand. A more broad-based
entry has been made since June 2002 with brand launches in the
Confectionery, Staples and Snack Foods segments.
The packaged foods business is an ideal avenue to leverage ITC's
proven strengths in the areas of hospitality and branded cuisine,
contemporary packaging and sourcing of agricultural commodities. ITC's
world famous restaurants like the Bukhara and the Dum Pukht, nurtured
by the Company's Hotels business, demonstrate that ITC has a deep
understanding of the Indian palate and the expertise required to translate this
knowledge into delightful dining experiences for the consumer. ITC has
stood for quality products for over 98 years to the Indian consumer and
several of its brands are today internationally benchmarked for quality. The
Foods business carries forward this proud tradition to deliver quality food
products to the consumer. All products of ITC's Foods business available in
the market today have been crafted based on consumer insights developed
through extensive market research. Apart from the current portfolio of
products, several new and innovative products are under development in
ITC's state-of-the-art Product Development facility located at Bengaluru.
Leadership in the Foods business requires a keen understanding of the
supply chain for agricultural produce. ITC has over the last 98 years
established a very close business relationship with the farming community in
India and is currently in the process of enhancing the Indian farmer's ability
to link to global markets, through thee-Choupal initiative, and produce the
quality demanded by its customers. This long-standing relationship is being
leveraged in sourcing best quality agricultural produce for ITC's Foods
business.

Sunsilk
Sunsilk is a hair care brand, primarily aimed at women, produced by
the Unilevergroup. Sunsilk is Unilevers leading hair care brand, and ranks
as one of the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate's billion dollar brands". Sunsilk
shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products are sold in 69 countries
worldwide.
Sunsilk is sold under a variety of different names in markets around the
world including Elidor, Seda and Sedal. The brand is strongest in Asia, Latin
America and the Middle East and is the number one hair care brandin Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
History
Sunsilk was launched in the UKin 1954, and by 1959 it was available in 18
different countries worldwide. At the time, Sunsilk had an advantage over
other shampoos in the market as it only needed one application, and so
meant washing less natural oils from the hair. Sunsilk cream shampoo for
dry hair was launched in 1956.

introduced as an alternative large size pack to the bottle. Sunsilk was also
available in such tubes.
In 1960, Sunsilk Tonic shampoo was launched, containing skin healing
ingredient Allantoin designed to help keep the scalp free from infection.
In 1961, Sunsilk Liquid shampoo was re-launched to Sunsilk Beauty,
because Liquid in the name, originally used to distinguish the product from
powdered shampoos had become meaningless as the majority of shampoos
were now in liquid form.
In 1962, Sunsilk was marketed as a range of shampoos for different hair
types.
Sunsilk significantly improved product formula and launched new variantsin 1966: the first major shampoo to contain olive oil, which acted as
conditioner to make hair soft and manageable; shampoo for dull hair, which
restored hairs natural shine; lemon shampoo for greasy hair with deep
cleansing ingredients.
Sunsilkhair spray was first launched in 1964 to enter an expanding hair-
spray market, but in 1966 a new product formula was developed which gave
hold, even in damp weather whilst still caring for hair. The hair spray
contained a French perfume and could easily be removed by brushing or
shampooing it out.

Customer Review of Product Usage
PRICING
HINDUSTAN UNILEVER claims to practice value-based
pricing in which the customers perception of the products price
provides a starting point for developing the marketing mix of the
product. The research department determines this price usually by
using focus groups. The price of Re 1 and 2 for Clinic plus shampoo
sachets shows how the price also reflects a concern to make the
purchase more convenient, since the rupee is denoted in this value.
Clinic plus is also available in Rs 45 and Rs 169 price bottles
to cater to the demands keeping in mind the wants of this particular
customer segment.
The primary importance of this value-based pricing is that the
product demand will be much higher if its price is in line with the
customers perception of its value. One crucial concern for value-
based pricing is strict management of cost in order to be able to
make a profit at the value-based price. After the initial price is
determined, HINDUSTAN UNILEVER then uses target costing in
order to achieve the required profits.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also
define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent
information on a specific topic. Infect, research is an art of scientific
investigation. Redman and Mory define research as a systematized effort to
gain new knowledge.
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a
technical sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining
and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions;
collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching
conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine
whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
The basic three types of research are as follows:
Descriptive v/s Analytical
Applied v/s Fundamental
Quantitative v/s Qualitative

RESEARCH METHODS
Research Methods may be understood as all those methods/ techniques that
are used for conduction of research. Research Methods or techniques, thus,
refer to the methods the researchers use in performing research operations.
Thus, research methods can be put into following three categories:
In the first group we include those methods which are concerned with
the collection of data.
The second group consists of those statistical techniques which are
used for establishing relationships between the data and the unknowns
The third group consists of the methods which are used to evaluate the
accuracy of the results obtained.
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
problem. It may be understood as a science of how research is done
scientifically. It helps in studying the various steps generally adopted by the
researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind
them. Thus, the scope of Research Methodology is wider than that of the
research methods.
In other words, when we talk of Research Methodology we not only talk of
the research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use
in the context of our research study and explain why we are using a
particular method or technique and why we are not using others so that the
research results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher
himself or by others.
RESEARCH DESIGN
-

A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and
analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure.
Infact, the research design is the conceptual structure within which research
is conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and
analysis of data.. as such the design includes an outline of what researcher
will do from writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the
final analysis of data.
NEED FOR RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research design is needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of
various research operations, thereby making research as efficient as
possible yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of
effort, time and money.
Research design stands for advance planning of the methods to be
adopted for collecting relevant data and the techniques to be used in
their analysis, keeping in view the objective of the research and the
availability of staff, time and money.
Research design has a great bearing on the reliability of the results
arrived at and as such constitutes the firm foundation of the entire
edifice of the research work.
The design helps the researcher to organize his ideas in a form
whereby it will be possible for him to look for flaws and inadequacies.
Such a design can ever be given to others for their comments and
critical evaluation. In the absence of such a course of action, it will be
difficult for the critic to provide a comprehensive review of proposed
study.

SAMPLING AND SAMPLE DESIGN
It is not possible to examine each and every item in the population hence
interferences are drawn about a large number of items possessing a
particular attribute based on analysis of fraction of such items. It is called a
sample. For developing a sample design following points need to be
discussed with regard to the present study
POPULATION: All items in any field of inquiry constitute a
UNIVERSE or POPULATION. A complete enumeration of all
the items in the population is known as census enquiry. Thus,
population means the inclusion of all the items in the field of enquiry.
Population can be finite if units can be counted or infinite. Since the
present study is done in Bareilly, the population is finite.
SAMPLE: Sample means selection of few items as representatives of
all the items. A part of the whole population is called SAMPLE.
Algebraically, let the population size be N and if a part of size
n(which is

SAMPLING: The process of selecting few items from the universe
which are the representatives of the universe is called SAMPLING.
SAMPLE DESIGN: A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining
a sample from the given population. It refers to the technique or
procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the
sample. Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to
be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample. Sample design is
determined before the data is collected. Researcher must prepare a
sample design which should be reliable and apt for his research study.
SUMMARY OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Data source: primary data and secondary data
Research approach: survey method
Research instrument: mailed questionnaire and questionnaire filled by the
enumerators
Sampling plan: sample unit (consumers)
Sample size: 50 consumers
Sample area: Bareilly city

&
SUGGESTION
1) ITC Company should try and get more different types of SKUs for its
products like biscuits, pasta and chips since the present SKU are not
enough to capture buyers from all the segments.
2) ITC should give more advertisement as compare to HUL
3) More and more demonstration are required to be given to the consumers
when it comes to deal with pasta since many dont know what pasta
actually is. It should be carried out mainly in key outlets.
4) Packaging is also a problem which the company is facing. Company
should try and improve the looks of its packaging specially for its food
products since the competitors are able to get an upper hand when it
comes to attractive packaging.
5) Faster distribution is required for HUL since many retailers are having
some problems regarding the delivery of goods specially the small
retailers.
6) More and more sales promotional are required so as to improve its
relationship with the customer and to make a strong presence of the
product in the market.
