PASSAGE – I (Questions 1 – 10)

The Shop-O-shelf Company's supermarkets are situated in Bangalore, Coimbatore and

Vellore. The company is dynamic and aggressive having grown from 8 stores ten years

ago to 26 today. Kanchipuram is a town 60 miles from Vellore. It has not shown the

spectacular growth of other suburbs, but its population has increased from around 56,000

to 1, 30,000 in the past decade. With no other Shop-O-Self supermarket within 20 miles

of the area, Shop-O-Self Company is considering opening a store in Kanchipuram.

The Arguments against: some Shop-O-Self executives oppose the project as a poor risk.

They point to the proposed site, which is in a shopping centre three miles from

Kanchipuram business district. Two other food chains have failed on this site because

they claim; most new residences are on the other side of the community.

Moreover, the shopping centre owners demand a five year lease. Shop-O-Self would

have to try to find another business to take over the lease should its own store fail before

the end of that time. If a Shop-O-Self market must be opened in Kanchipuram, it would

be far better, these executives argue, to build it in the heart of the community. But they

point out, another supermarket is already there.

The Arguments for: The Majority of the executives maintain that the site has great

potential. A new east-west highway is being built which will pass Kanchipuram to the

north and force the car commuters to Kanchipuram to pass by the shopping centre. A

housing project of 3, 000 units is going to be constructed nearby. The average household

is expected to consist of five people with over Rs. 30,000 of income to dispose of

annually. They also argue that the centre of Kanchipuram is now congested with traffic

and has extremely poor parking facilities, while there is excellent parking in the shopping

centre. Investment in a new building in Kanchipuram, proper than a five year lease

should the store fail. They are not too concerned about the other supermarket in

Kanchipuram. There is enough business for both. Besides, the competitor's prices are

higher than shop-o-self. They also discount past supermarket failures in the shopping

certre. They claim these were caused more by poor management than by the shopping

centre's being slightly off the beaten path.

The Decision: The board of directors listens to both sides and then votes to open a Shop-

o-self store at the Kanchipuram shopping centre.

PASSAGE II (Questions 11 – 20)

In 1997 Mr. Deepak, a chemical engineer, began experimenting in his spare time with a

new method for processing fresh orange juice. By 2000, he had perfected the process to

such an extent that he was ready to begin production in a small way. His process enabled

him to extract 18 percent more juice from oranges than was typically extracted by a

pressure juicer of the type currently used in cafes. His process also removed some of the

bitterness, which got into the juice from the peelings when oranges were squeezed

without peeling them. Since many of the better quality restaurants preferred to serve fresh

orange juice instead of canned or frozen

juice, Mr. Deepak believed he could find a ready market for his product. Another appeal

of his product would be that he could maintain more consistent juice flavor than

haphazard restaurant juicing usually produced. Mr. Deepak patented the process and then

started production. Since his capital was limited, he began production in a small building,

which previously had been a woodworking shop. With the help of his brother, Mr.

Deepak marketed the juice through local restaurants. The juice was distributed in glass

bottles, which proved to be rather expensive because of high breakage. The new product

was favourably accepted by the public and the business proved to e a success. Mr.

Deepak began to receive larger and more frequent orders from his customers and their

business associates. In 2002, he quit his regular job in order to devote full time to his





juice business. He soon reached his capacity because of his inability to personally over a

larger area with his pickup truck. Advertising was on a small scale because of limited

funds. Faced with the problems of glass bottle breakage and limited advertisement and

distribution, Mr. Deepak approached a regional food distributor for a solution Mr.

Deepak was offered a plan where by the distributor would advertise and distribute the

product on the basis of 25 percent of gross sales. The distributor would assist Mr. Deepak

in securing a loan from the local bank to expand the production. Before he had an

opportunity to contact the bank to borrow money, Mr. Deepak was introduced to Mr.

Sunil, a plastics engineer, who produced plastic containers. Mr. Deepak mentioned his

own problems in the expansion of his business. Mr. Sunil wanted to finance expended

juice production with the understanding that plastic containers would be used for

marketing the orange juice. He would lend the money interest free, but he was to receive

40 percent of the net profits for the next ten years. Distribution and advertising agent for

25 percent of gross sales. The principal on Mr. Sunil's invested money was to be repaid

by Mr. Deepak on a basis of 10 percent of his share of the profits. Mr. Sunil was to retain

an interest in the profits of the firm until the loan was

repaid, or at least for ten years.

Mr. Deepak's current sales were 10,000 litres of juice a month. If distribution could be

expanded, sales could be doubled, given the potential demand. Of the possible total sales

of 20,000 a month, about 75 percent would be sold to large restaurants and the reminder

to small cafes and canteens. As soon as the juices were

bottled in plastic containers, sales could also be made to household consumers. Mr.

Deepak was very optimistic that sales to the final consumer through retail shops would

succeed. Some initial contacts were made with a local manager of a food chain

supermarket. The manager was sure that he could sell 4,000 litres a month through his

outlets. Mr. Deepak also calculated his potential profits. His goal was to increased sales

while at the same time earning a 10 percent rate of return on his prior capital investment

in equipment and other assets. The present value of Mr. Deepak's investment was Rs.

2,50,000. Of this sum, machinery and equipment were valued at Rs. 1,00,000; building

was worth Rs. 50,000 and his patent and know-how were valued at Rs. 1,00,000. On the

basis of this evaluation, Mr. Deepak desired a return of Rs. 25,000 above salaries and

other expenses after the first year of operation. Both the regional distributor and Mr.

Sunil believed that Mr. Deepak's sales could be increased to 15,000 litres of juice per

month by the end of the first year of expanded operations. However, the extent to which

production could be expanded to meet demand depended on the availability of plastic

containers (which

would be supplied at factory cost under Mr. Sunil's proposal), and additional machinery.

Increased market coverage would be obtained both under the regional food distributor

and Mr. Sunil's proposals. The critical deciding factor, as Mr. Deepak understood, was

which plan would maximize his return on investment beyond the minimum figure of 10

percent.

SECTION II

READING COMPREHENSION

Direction: This section contains two reading passages. You have to read each carefully.

Each passage is followed by questions based on its content. After reading each passage,

choose the best answer to each question. The questions are based on what is stated or

implied in each passage.

PASSAGE I (Questions 21 – 30)

The concept of "standard of living" is a wide and multifaceted one. In the absence of

comprehensive measurement, it is commonly expressed empirically in terms of

consumption or in terms of income. One of the most comprehensive expressions of

standard of living is total consumption over an extended period, where consumption is

defined not only as family purchases but also as (1) consumption of goods and

services produced by the family; (2) consumption of public services provided without

payment; and (3) consumption of goods and services received as compensation for labor,

over and above wages and salary. It may be assumed that total consumption is less

subject to incidental fluctuations than income. Moreover, it reflects not only current

income but also past income and savings, windfalls, and expectations regarding future

income. Current monetary income constitutes the main indictor for the standard of living;





however, standard of living is not determined solely by current income, but also by past

income, accumulated assets and expectations for

future income. Moreover, the standard of living of a family is influenced by the value of

the public services from which it benefits and the rate of taxes which it has to pay. In the

period under review, the standard of living of families originating from Asia and Africa

improved relative to that of all families. This improvement found expression in higher

income levels, better housing, higher

ownership rate of consumer durables and an increase in the proportion of families in

higher income brackets. However, even after the improvement in their relative position

during the past decade, their average income is still only 70% of the overall average for

all families. One of the important factors behind the income differential between families

of African and Asian originals and the rest of the populations is the level of education. In

rent years the gap between these two groups has narrowed among the younger generation,

but it is still substantial. Unless the education gap is significantly reduced between these

two groups, other means employed in an attempt to produce more income equality will be

thwarted. More resources must be immediately put to the task of improving educational

opportunities

for families of African and Asian origin, without of course, reducing the education

facilities and opportunities open to the rest of the population.

living;?

I. Past income II. Current Income III. Future income

(a) I only (b) II only (c) I and II only (d) I, II and III

(e) Neither I, II and III

23. Consumption is defined as

(a) Total family purchases

(b) Total family purchases plus goods and services produced by the family

(c) Public services provided by the state.

(d) Income minus expenditure on necessities

(e) Total family purchases plus other goods and services consumed

24. Between 1994 and 2000, average real income

(a) Remained stable

(b) Increased by about 5% annually

(c) Decreased slightly

PASSAGE II (Questions 31 – 40)

Much has been written about the need for increasing our knowledge of marketing in

other countries and how different marketing systems operate in delivering goods and

services to consumers. Indian businessmen have long been interested in foreign markets

for the purpose of stimulating trade. Analysis of the mechanisms of

the given country's internal trade and the structural and environmental factors of its

marketing system are necessary to the success of an Indian firm's marketing efforts

aboard. Knowledge of a country's marketing system is of equal importance to the

potential investor. Information pertaining to channels of distribution, promotional





facilities, and the marketing experience of management should have weight in the

investment decision equal to factors such as financing the possibility of expropriation and

plant location. Moreover, Indian businessmen are certainly not limited to investment in

manufacturing industry aboard; there may be profitable opportunities for the introduction

of Indian marketing institutions and techniques in other countries. The extent to which

Indian rupees should be channeled into the

introduction of Indian marketing innovations depend upon the answers to the following

questions:

(1) to what extent is it possible to " transplant" Indian marketing operations or

institutions to foreign countries, and (2) would such transplantations, if successful,

contribute to the economic development of the recipient country?

In light of the above, research is needed to determine the factors responsible for the

acceptance and growth of marketing innovations so that an understanding of the adoption

process can aid Indian businessmen contemplating the introduction of similar marketing

techniques in other developing countries. Take the case of the marketing innovation: self-

service. Whether self -service shops can be successful

outside India depends upon sufficient population density, consumer income and the

availability of suitable store locations and manpower. But even when these environmental

forces are positive, cultural constraints may still serve as a barrier to the development of

self-server. For example, a packaged food industry cannot

develop unless culturally developed habits of buying only "fresh" foods and produce can

be overcome. Moreover, consumers must be sufficiently literate to select products from

store shelves without the help of sales clerks. The traditional pattern of shopping (in

many countries) at different locations for each category of goods -e.g. dairy products,

vegetables, meat, etc. is a custom that has been learned and reinforced over many years.

It does not break down easily. Daily shopping trips may be re of a social Endeavour,

provided the housewife can have contract with her friends at the local market or grocery,

although hand-to-mouth buying may also

result from low incomes and lack of refrigerating and storage facilities.

In Israel, the first supermarket was successful in changing the shopping patterns of many

housewives who traditionally shopped at different stores for meat, dairy products,

vegetables and fruit, and baked goods. Housewives preferred the self-service shop

because it refaced total shopping time and offered quality food at

lower prices. Working women switched to the self-service shop because it is open during

their lunch hour, unlike the small shops that close at midday for several hours. Besides

introducing a wider assortment of products at lower prices, standardized packaging,

pricing, and quality was offered to the Israeli consumer.

Although prepackaged meats and produce were not accepted by many consumers at first,

there are indications that buying habits have changed. For example, packaged meat now

accounts for about 25 percent of total sales of Israel's two major self-service food chains.

31. According to the author, knowledge of foreign marketing systems is essential

because it

(a) Cements relation between countries

(b) Helps us to know about other people

(c) Can help to stimulate foreign trade





(d) Improves channel of distribution

(e) Teaches us something about our marketing system.

32. The passage implies that marketing can contribute to

(a) Improving goods and services

(b) Economic development

(c) More efficient promotion and advertising

(d) Full employment

(e) Growth of economic institutions

33. Successful introduction of Indian marketing techniques abroad depends upon the

(a) Educational level in the host country

(b) Amount of investment capital available

(c) Use of efficient channels of distribution

(d) Extent to which the techniques can be 'transplanted'

(e) Adaptability of Indian methods to 'foreign cultural conditions'

34. A most important constraint on the introduction of self service shops seems to be

(a) Cultural barriers (b) Income (c) Education

(d) Capital formation (e) Population dispersion

35. In Israel, daily shopping trips to the food market occur because of

(a) A lack of supermarkets (b) Social reasons as much as economic ones
