1. BATA INDIA LIMITED Repositioned Or Still a Foot wearyPresented by- Yugesh Kumar dubey (8279) Vinay Singh (8272) Vinay gupta (8271) External environmentWe have analyze various external environments from case as well as from outside source-Industry environment- Threat of new entrants-There are many barriers to entry preventing new entrants from capturing significant market share. Large footwear producer enjoy economy of scale that create cost advantage over any new rival.BIL differentiated its product from rivals product like Comfort (using dynamic spring pad that acted as cushion on the feet for womens footwear), Wind (in build air technology that allowed feet to breath fresh air) etc.The capital requirements are a high entry barrier to a new firm to the industry. However, an existing shoe manufacturer may enter the athletic shoe industry simply by re-tooling their manufacturing plant.Switching cost is very low for footwear industry because shoes are relatively inexpensive personal goods that are frequently replaced.Access to distribution channel is barrier to entry because it is really difficult for a startup firm to get shelf space at major shoe retailer. But existing firm may use their existing connections to easily access shoe distribution channel.Bargaining power of buyer-Bata was largest player in industry with 910%volume share and 60% market share in organized segment. It had a market share of 70% in canvas shoe segment and 60% in leather shoe segment. Their dominant market share give them power

over buyer.Bata is a big buyer of raw material who buys significant part of suppliers revenue. This in a way provides good bargaining power over suppliers.As a part of its strategic decision Bata set up a rubber/canvas factory in Faridabad, Haryana in 1951. So it can threaten its supplier to integrate backward.Bargaining power of supplier-Shoes are made of leather, rubber, nylon etc. These materials could be classified as commodities, where the manufacturing process adds the value. For this reason supplier have limited bargaining power over buyers.Threat of substitute productConsumer switched from one product to another if alternatives are available in same quality and performance range and have competing price or lesser price.BIL produces 10% of total hawai ranged from Rs. 35-110 while competing local brands were selling at Rs. 2550.Again when global trade open then market flooded with many international brands having variety and competing price.Rivalry among existing firms-Mostly numbers of competitors are stable, especially because of high entry barriers. This adds to the rivalry among existing firm. Manufacturers watch each other carefully and make appropriate countermove to match the competitors move. Leading competitor of BIL are Lakhani shoes, liberty shoes, action shoes, woodland, paragon and relaxo in organized segment. CompanyYear endedSales (Rs.

Rural market was large at approximately 70% of the total market but was dominated by multiple medium size regional players and serviced through traditional independent dealers.Political/legal environment-Industry is governed by central by Central Excise and Custom, Factory act and Labor Law and Environmental control acts.Council for leather export, Central leather research institute and Footwear design and development institute were promoting industry for special purpose.Political unrest, cross border unrest, terrorism in and out of India has direct or indirect impact on industry. When quantitative restriction was lifted from import then industry slowed down from 20 % (in 90s) to 8-10 %( in 2004). Increase in excise duty led to increase in cost of footwear (1993-94, excise exemption was withdrawn from shoe costing below rs. 200 and hence price went up by 20% and this led to drop in profit from 20 crore to 95 lac within a year).Tax holidays for period of 10 years on full excise duty and income tax and a subsidy on sales tax, land/building and plant/machinery was given by state government of Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Jammu & Kashmir and Assam to promote manufacturing. Global environment- India produced more of gents

footwear while worlds major production was ladies footwear. India has 10% of worlds raw material and low tanning cost made it second in footwear production after China. Sociocultural-Over a period of time, as disposable income increases, consumer preference changed but Bata failed to recognize these social changes and they continue with same product over long period of time.Internal environmentBIL is Indias largest manufacturer and marketer of footwear product which sold over 60 million pair per year in India and overseas market. Here in this section we will analyze resources, capability, core competencies and value chain of Bata India limited. By doing internal analysis we will identify strength and weakness of Bata India limited. Resources-Human resource-Footwear industry is labor intensive and concentrated in small and cottage industry area. Availability of human resource is one of important strength of Bata India limited. Below table will tell why this is strength-Labor cost in leading footwear producing
