demand drivers and supply factors that affect the working of the Indian broking
industry, and in this regard what are various differentiating factors that provide
masters trust a competitive edge over other players in the market.

There has been an emphasis on the various aspects aspects of master trust that

CHAPTER -1 INDUSTRY
PROFILE
1.1INTRODUCTION TO PRINT INDUSTRY
Printing is one of the human race’s most far-reaching cultural achievements and a
medium that is ideally suited to our senses. As the first means of mass
communication, paper opened up a world of information and education to huge
swathes of the population. Because print, has been necessary for businesses
throughout history, the printing industry has been an integral part of life. A large
number of innovations have changed the operations of the printing industry
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (2004). Whereas printing was originally hard
work, controller by the printer, the introduction of the printing press made it an
industrial process. Today, printing and digital media complement one another and
are spawning new applications. Printing material is easy to handle; it can explain,
entertain, provide guidance, and appeal to feelings. And it is highly likely that some
of the products you hold in your hands every day have been printed on printing
presses. This chapter discuss about history, trends, challenges, with an overall
analysis.

1.2HISTORY OF PRINT INDUSTRY

The saga of the growth of printing in India began with the arrival of missionaries. The
growth of printing in West Bengal, when Calcutta was the capital of the British Empire, is
attributable to meeting the growing needs of the British Raj for its government and
administration purposes. Several government owned printing presses came up all over India.
The newspapers press, to start with, was owned by the British, but with the growth of the
nationalist movement the India Press, particularly the vernacular, became active in the
freedom struggle, and was to become a major pillar of support in the realization of the
nation’s dreams for independence. The commercial printing centrers came up in Kolkata
Mumbai and Chennai to meet the needs of the growing industry. However, the printing
industry in India only gained momentum after independence.

WOODBLOCK PRINTING
Block printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely
throughout East Asia both as a method of printing on textiles and later, under the
influence of Buddhism, on paper. As a method of printing on cloth, the earliest
surviving examples from China date to about 220.Ukiyo-e is the best known type of
Japanese woodblock art print.

IN INDIA
In Buddhism, great merit is thought to accrue from copying and preserving texts.
The fourth century master listed the copying of scripture as the first of ten essential
religious practices. The importance of perpetuating texts is set out with special force
in the longer Sukhavativyuha Sutra which not only urges the devout to hear, learn,
remember and study the text but to obtain a good copy and to preserve it. This ‘cult
of the book’ led to techniques for reproducing texts in great numbers, especially the
short prayers or charms known as dharanis. Stamps were carved for printing these
prayers on clay tablets from at least the seventh century, the date of the oldest
surviving examples. Especially popular was the pratityasamutpadaGatha a short
verse text summing up Nagarjuna’s philosophy of causal genesis or dependent
origination. Nagarjuna lived in the early centuries of the current era and the Buddhist
Creed, as the Gatha is frequently called, was printed on clay tablets in huge
numbers from the sixth century. This tradition was transmitted to China and Tibet
with Buddhism. Printing text from woodblocks does not, however, seem to have
been developed in India.

1.3OVERVIEW OF PRINTING INDUSTRY

The compounded annual growth rate of the Indian Printing Industry is estimated to
be 12.2% for the period 2007-12. The objective is to achieve 60% growth by the
year of 2014. The printing industry of India is highly fragmented. Newspapers and
magazine publishing section have the large printers apart from a few in package,
label and commercial printing. About 77% of the printing houses are family owned.
From 2002 inwards the government allowed foreign investment. Foreign investors
can now invest up to 26% in daily newspapers and 100% in scientific or other
publications with government approval. Printing sector has evolved from
manufacturing industry into a service industry in India of late. Publishing have come
up to the international standards as well.
Most of the large printers are found in big cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai,
Hyderabad, Chennai, and Siva kasi, which has emerged as a commercial printing
hub and accounts for a major share of exports from the Indian printing industry.
The Indian printing industry will reach nearly $20.9 billion by 2015, a government
official said at the ninth edition of the international exhibition on printing and allied
machinery industries ( PAMEX) which was inaugurated at Greater Noida. With the
exponential growth, the organisers expect India to become the largest printing
market by 2015 aided by low cost production and ready to adopt new technology.
The event is also being supported by the Indian Newspaper Society (INS) and the
Federation of Indian Publishers. It is the only dedicated international exhibition for
the industry organised in Asia. The printing industry in India is slowly progressing
from the heavy machinery using industry to a more software centric business. The
Indian printers are today equipped with the latest computer controlled printing
machines and flow lines for binding while state of the art digital technologies are
used in prepress. UV digital printing and inkjet technology are also on the rise in
India.

1.4GROWTH OF PRINTING INDUSTRY

The growth of this sector attributes to the two main reasons, First is the spread of
education according to the 2001 census report literacy growth in India touched
nearly 66 per cent. This amazing growth in literacy together with rising educational
levels and rapidly progressing trade and industry in India make the current situation
a happy note. Literacy re is growing; increase in the literacy rate has direct positive
effect on the rise of the circulation of the regional papers. The people are first
educated in their mother tongue as per their state in which they live e.g. students in
Maharashtra are compulsory taught Marathi language and hence they are educated
in their state language and the first thing a literate person does is read papers and
gain knowledge and hence higher the litearacy rate in a state the sales of the
dominating regional paper in the state rises.
There’s little doubt about India’s market potential in print media. According to a
national survey, 248 million literate adults still don’t read any publication. But
readership of newspapers and magazines is up by 15% since 1998 to 180 million.
It’s a reflection of a younger, more educated population, especially in small -town
India, feel experts. India has 49,000 publications, but annual revenues total just $1.1
billion. While they can be vibrant and gutsy, most are starved for technology,
marketing, and capital to expand. So a handful of publications dominate.
With the growth in literacy, the Indian print media industry is expected to grow at
CAGR of 5.7% for the period 2009-13 to reach Rs.213.6 billion from Rs.161.8 billion
in 2008.

1.5PRESENT STATUS
Currently printing sector is all set to become booming in India due to available
technology, resource at a very economical cost. Also government is encouraging
foreign direct investment into this sector. Lot of MNC’s are expected to invest in this
sector due to favorable working conditions. There are numerous jobs are expected
in this industry due to overall growthing percentage of 12% per annum. worldwide,
the annual revenue of the printing industry is voer $600 billion. The United States
accounts the major share for over 25% of this business, at $160-Billion a year.

1.6FUTURE OF PRINT INDUSTRY

We all know that technological concepts in and around the world are changing
rapidly. Today what we learn is insufficient or obsolete tomorrow. This is not just the
case of printing industry but applicable to most of the conventional industries. As
Printing Technology contributes major percentage of the media industry, we also
have to understand clearly these these changes to be there in the market. There
are three important factors which will certainly help the Asian Graphic Arts Industry to
boom in this Millennium are (i) Growth of Educational level, (ii) Emergence of large
middle class, (iii) Population increase. The “ Manthra” of success in this 21st century
is “Learn Unlearn and Relearn” and Reduce, reuse, Recycle and Recover”.

the way in which a corporation operates management should take into account all of
these factors, to be sure successful implementation of strategy. Large or small, they
are interdependent, so if you fail to pay proper attention to one of them, this may
affect all others as well. On top of that the relative importance of each factor may
vary over time.

and Robert Waterman were exploring what made a company excellent. The 7-S
model was born at a meeting of these four authors in 1978.

Develop Pricing Strategies

Pricing strategy development is another marketing manager responsibility. During
this process, you start by studying prices competitors charge for like products or
services. You might then conduct surveys to determine price elasticity among
consumers. Price elasticity studies determine how sensitive consumers are to price
changes. Marketing managers also determine prices by calculating raw material and
production costs, and then adding the percentmarkups they desire. In this role, you
might also price products relatively low to gain market share, or use higher prices to
quickly recover production costs.

Supervise People
Some marketing managers are responsible for supervising employees, such as
assistant marketing managers, marketing coordinators or clerical workers. As a
