The automotive industry, often regarded as one of the most influential and dynamic
sectors of the global economy, plays a pivotal role in shaping the way we live, work,
and move. From the first rudimentary steam-powered vehicles of the 18th century to
the cutting-edge electric and autonomous cars of today, this industry has undergone
profound transformations, reflecting and often driving societal, technological, and
environmental change.
The automotive industry encompasses a broad range of activities, including the design,
manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. These vehicles can take many
forms, from personal automobiles to commercial trucks, motorcycles, and even
electric scooters. They serve as more than mere modes of transportation, with the
industry contributing significantly to job creation, economic growth, and technological
innovation in countless regions across the globe. The automobile industry consists of
a wide range of companies and organisations involved in the designing and
developing, of motor vehicles. It is considered as one of the world's most important
economic sectors in terms of revenue.
1
Globalisation and Diversification: The automobile industry quickly expanded
globally, with manufacturers emerging in various regions. Major American companies
like General Motors and Ford were soon joined by European giants like Volkswagen,
BMW, and Japanese powerhouses like Toyota and Honda. This globalisation led to a
diverse range of vehicle models, catering to different markets and consumer
preferences.
Moreover, the industry now stands at the precipice of a new era, where autonomous
vehicles and artificial intelligence promise to redefine how we move and interact with
transportation. Ride-sharing and car-sharing services, coupled with the idea of shared
mobility, are changing the way people perceive car ownership and personal
transportation.

Automobile Industry in India
The Indian automobile industry traces its roots back to the 1940s when Hindustan
Motors and Premier Automobiles introduced their first passenger cars. However, it
was the economic liberalisation in the early 1990s that triggered a surge in the
industry's growth. The entry of global automakers and the removal of trade barriers
paved the way for a more competitive and dynamic market. The India Automotive
Market is reasonably concentrated, with the top five players having most of the market
share in all the segments. The major players in the passenger car segment include
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (Suzuki Motor Corporation), Tata Motors Limited,
Hyundai Motor Company, Mahindra and Mahindra limited, and Honda Motor
Company.
The two-wheeler market is also concentrated, with major players occupying the
majority share of the market. The key players in the two-wheeler market include Hero
Moto Corp Limited, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (Honda Motor
Company), TVS Motor Company, Bajaj Auto Limited, and Royal Enfield
In terms of manufacturing output, India is the 2nd largest in two-wheelers, 7th largest
in commercial vehicles, 6th in passenger vehicles and the largest in tractors globally.

Ownership Pattern
Many exclusive Hyundai cars showrooms are owned and operated by independent
business entities that have entered into a franchise agreement with Hyundai Motor
Company. Under this arrangement, the showroom owner has a contractual relationship
with Hyundai, follows Hyundai's branding and operational guidelines, and sells
Hyundai vehicles. The ownership is often with a private individual or a group of
investors. In this ownership pattern, individual entrepreneurs or business entities
operate a showroom dedicated to Hyundai vehicles. These independent dealerships
have a significant degree of autonomy in their operations, including staffing,
management, and financial decisions. They may be owned by a single individual, a
group of investors, or a company specialising in automotive retail.

CHAPTER 3
McKinsey 7S Framework
Structure Skills
Systems Style
Staff
30
McKinsey's 7S Framework is a management model developed by consulting firm
McKinsey & Company. The model identifies seven internal factors that are critical for
an organization's success and effectiveness. The 7Ss represent aspects of an
organization that need to be aligned for it to function well. The seven elements are
categorized into "Hard Ss" and "Soft Ss":
In McKinsey's 7S Framework, the "Hard Ss" refer to the more tangible and structured
elements of an organization that are relatively easier to define and measure. These hard
elements are Strategy, Structure, and Systems:
Hard Ss:
Strategy: This is your organisation's game plan, the big goals, and how you plan to
achieve them. This involves the plan or approach an organization takes to achieve its
objectives. It outlines how the organization intends to achieve its goals and gain a
competitive advantage.
Structure: Think of it as the organisation's skeleton. It's how people are organised and
who reports to whom. This refers to the organization's framework, including its
hierarchy, divisions, and reporting relationships. It defines how different parts of the
organization relate to each other.
Systems: These are the processes and tools used in your organisation, like how you
communicate, track work, and share information. Systems encompass the processes
and procedures in place that allow the organization to function. This includes both
formal and informal workflows, as well as information and technology systems.
These hard elements are considered critical to the organization's functioning and are
often more visible and concrete than the "Soft Ss" (Shared Values, Skills, Style, and
Staff). While the hard elements provide the structure and direction for the organization,
it's crucial to recognize their interconnectedness with the soft elements for overall
organizational effectiveness and success.
31
In McKinsey's 7S Framework, the "Soft Ss" refer to the more intangible and people-
oriented aspects of an organization. These soft elements are Shared Values, Skills,
Style, and Staff:
Soft Ss:
Skills: The abilities and knowledge of your people, their training, and the talents they
bring to the table. This refers to the capabilities and competencies possessed by the
individuals within the organization. It includes both technical skills and the soft skills
required for effective collaboration.
Staff: Your team, the people who work in the organisation. Do you have the right
people for your strategy? Staff represents the people in the organization, focusing on
the size of the workforce, its diversity, and the capabilities of individuals.
Shared Values: These are the core beliefs and principles that guide your organisation's
actions. This represents the core values and beliefs that are shared among members of
the organization. It reflects the organization's culture and principles.
Style: It's about the culture and how things get done. Is it formal or informal? Are
people encouraged to take risks, or is it more conservative? Style relates to the
leadership and management approach within the organization. It reflects the leadership
style, decision-making processes, and overall management philosophy.
These soft elements are crucial for the human side of the organization. While they may
be more challenging to quantify and measure than the "Hard Ss" (Strategy, Structure,
and Systems), they play a vital role in shaping the organization's culture, effectiveness,
and adaptability.
32
McKinsey 7s framework in reference to Narayan Hyundai
Strategy (Shared Goal): Narayan Hyundai's strategy includes its long-term vision
and goals within the exclusive Hyundai car dealership sector. This includes market
positioning, pricing strategies, and growth and sustainability plans.
Staff (Personnel): Narayan Hyundai employs people at all levels of the organisation.
The showroom ensures that the right people are in the right positions, such as skilled
salespeople, knowledgeable service technicians, and capable managers.
33
Porters 5 Force Model
34
Breaking down Porter's 5 Forces model:
Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Imagine you run a restaurant, and your supplier is
the only one in town that provides a rare spice crucial for your signature dish. Your
supplier has a lot of power because they can raise the price, and you have no other
options. This can squeeze your profit margin.
Bargaining Power of Buyers: Suppose you have an online clothing store, and
customers have numerous options to buy similar products. If they can easily compare
prices and quality, they can demand lower prices or better service, making it more
challenging for your business to maintain high prices.
Threat of New Entrants: Picture you have a successful software company. If the
barriers to enter your market are low (meaning it doesn't take much money or expertise
to start a software company), new competitors can easily pop up, increasing
competition and potentially lowering prices.
Threat of Substitutes: Let's say you run a taxi service. If ride-sharing apps like Uber
and Lyft offer a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional taxis,
customers may switch, posing a significant threat to your business.
Rivalry Among Existing Competitors: Think about the smartphone industry. With
major players like Apple, Samsung, and Google constantly competing, there's intense
rivalry. They're regularly launching new products, lowering prices, and increasing
features to win over customers, making it a highly competitive market.
Porter's Five Forces model helps businesses assess their competitive environment,
make strategic decisions, and understand where they stand in the marketplace
35
Porters 5 Force Model in reference to Narayan Hyundai
New entrants can form strategic partnerships or alliances with established companies,
enabling them to tap into existing resources, technologies, and distribution networks.
All of these factors directly impact on the performance of exclusive Hyundai Cars
outlets.
36
3. Bargaining Power of Buyers (Customers):
4. Threat of Substitutes:
The presence of other dealerships representing brands like Kia, Tata Motors, and
Mahindra & Mahindra etc. in the market creates a notable threat of substitutes for a
Hyundai cars showroom. Customers have a wide array of alternatives to choose from,
ranging in terms of vehicle types, features, and pricing. This gives customers the
flexibility to explore options that best align with their specific needs and budgets.
Narayan Hyundai must effectively communicate the unique features, value, and
benefits of Hyundai vehicles to differentiate itself and address the competition from
these substitute options.
Competition among exclusive Hyundai cars showrooms and other dealerships like Kia,
Tata Motors, Toyota, Mahindra & Mahindra etc. within the region can be intense.
Rivalry may center on pricing, service quality, and customer experience. Established
showrooms like Narayan Hyundai may have an advantage in terms of customer loyalty
and brand reputation. Strategic marketing, customer engagement, and exclusive
offerings can further differentiate the showroom in a competitive market.
While being a well-established company has its advantages, Narayan Hyundai is still
subject to competitive pressures and market dynamics that necessitate careful strategic
planning and customer-centric approaches in order to maintain its position and thrive
in the exclusive Hyundai car dealership sector.

CHAPTER 4
SWOT Analysis
This framework can help you develop a plan to determine your priorities, maximize
opportunities, and minimize roadblocks as you scale your organisation. It is a method
for identifying and analysing internal strengths and weaknesses and external
opportunities and threats that shape current and future operations and help develop
strategic goals. The primary goal of swot analysis is to increase awareness of the
factors that go into making a business decision or establishing a business strategy. The
framework is considered as a powerful support for decision-making because it enables
the organisation to uncover opportunities for success that were previously
unarticulated, it also highlights threats before they become overly burdensome.
38
SWOT Analysis of the Narayan Hyundai
A SWOT analysis for Narayan Hyundai can help assess its internal strengths and
weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats in the competitive automotive
industry:
Strengths:
• Customer Loyalty: Having been in business for over a decade, the showroom is
likely to have a loyal customer base, which results in repeat business and referrals.
• Experienced Staff: The showroom can benefit from its experienced and
knowledgeable staff, which includes sales professionals and service technicians who
are knowledgeable about Hyundai vehicles and technologies.
• Diverse Vehicle Portfolio: Hyundai offers a wide range of vehicles, from compact
cars to SUVs and electric models, allowing Narayan Hyundai to cater to a wide range
of customer preferences.
Weaknesses:
• Additionally, the showroom is situated far away from the city. Customers might
postpone their regular vehicle checks due to long travelling distance.
39
Opportunities:
• Rising Electric Vehicle Demand: As the market shifts toward electric vehicles,
Narayan Hyundai can benefit from Hyundai's electric offerings and environmental
consciousness.
• Digital Transformation: Using digital tools, website portal and online platforms,
Narayan Hyundai can broaden its reach and improve the customer experience by
enabling virtual tour of the showroom and cars that are available also by increasing
social media presence.
Threats:

Interpretation
By analysing the financial data from the above table of Narayan Hyundai provided by
the financial department based on yearly statistics, it has been recorded:
• The increase in 1.06% of profits in 2019 and 1.05% of profits in 2020. Hence the
firm is gradually growing year after year and has a strong financial condition.
• The total current asset of the company is gradually increasing, which states that the
liquidity financial position of organisation is doing well.
• The current liability of a company is also increasing but the current assets are greater
than the current liability so the company can pay the liability from their assets.
• The working capital of the company is also gradually increasing which indicates the
efficient functioning of an organisation.
Every enterprise, whether big medium or small needs finance to carry on its operations
and to achieve its targets. In fact, finance is so in this principle today that it is rightly
said to be the life blood of an enterprise. Without adequate finance, no enterprise can
possibly accomplish its objectives.

CHAPTER 6
Learning Experience
In this opportunity, I sincerely thank the management of Narayan Hyundai for their
kind approval to undertake this organisation study at their premises. I have learnt the
values and basic skills required for a business and employment such as management
process, sales process, financial process, service process and marketing process. I
understood about the discipline and morals an employee must possess.
Overall, this organisation study has been a pivotal component of my MBA curriculum,
equipping me with practical knowledge and skills that will undoubtedly benefit my
future career in business management. I am very grateful for the guidance that my
professors provided throughout this organisation study.
