As we are purchasing in bulk quantity from our suppliers. We are getting high discounts on suppliers price which help us to gain high profit margin when setting the price

Suppliers must avoid the risk of distributing through more channels than are realy necessaryWithin given region since too many channels for too few customers can negatively effect the sale

Through increasing advertisement of baby cheramy products sales will gradually increase there by suppliers will get more orders from Hemas.

We are delivering high demanded and quality products to the market with fair price to the product. This help employees to promote the prduct easily.

We provide employees a pleasant working environment(new equipment, modern technology etc..) which help them to enhance their skills and knowledge towards delivering the quality products

CAA will regularly monitor on our price marking for products our pricing for products are much fair equal to competitors there fore we don’t find any issues on pricing the product

The totall distribution process of the product will operate with different channels there fore the totall distribution network should comply with regulation put forward by CAA if it fail to comply when the final product deliverd to consumers the total image of hemas will get affected. If this happens by hemas which they are fail to fulfill their corporate social respnsibilty.

Notes 2.1 Any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of

the organization objectives (Freeman 1984)

Stakeholder power has always been an important aspect in a company’s Stratergy formulation more so because it affects the total image of the company and affects its performance in an indirect manner and also in todays context company are under pressure to focus in maintaining and managing their relationship with important stakeholder.

Example-: 1. McDonalds USA did not manage concerns of parents with regards to ingredients use causing obesity amongst their children’s. A parent sued McDonalds 400 million dollars and won the law sued which cause a massive decline of the share price of the McDonalds.

To:- Marketing Manager of Hemas PLCFrom:- Marketing AssistantSubject:-How Hemas build a better relationship with Consumer Affair Authority

IntroductionHemas PLC having conducted an audit for the stakeholders plans on improving the relationship with CAA2 (Consumer Affairs Authority). This report includes the main Mission of CAA, changes to current marketing mix that would enable Hemas PLC to meet the needs of CAA, the impact these changes would have on Hemas PLC current relationship with CAA and challenges the company face in gaining the organization support and funding for the change in marketing mix.

NoteAs cited in audit about three stakeholders out of that Consumer Affair Authority was selected as Hemas PLC most important stakeholder gr

3.1) Justify why CAA was selected the most important stakeholder to the company. CAA is the organisation which provide for better protection of consumers through the regulation of trade and the prices of goods and services and to protect traders and manufactures against unfair trade practice and restrictive trade practice. Moreover it is expected to promote competitive pricing where ever possible and ensures healthy competition among traders and manufactures of goods. Therefore CAA is selected as the most important stakeholder to the company and Hemas needs to develop an advance relationship with CAA because it is important to Hemas in the future.

Page 22: Hassaan Assignment

3.1.1) The mission statement of CAA and the specific interest CAA has in social responsibility program

The Mission statement of CAA “Safeguard consumer rights and interest through consumer empowerment, regulation of trade and promotion of healthy competition”

Consumer Right day program (As Social responsibility program) The theme of consumer right day as declared by the consumer international was “Our Money Our Rights”. CAA conducted a mobile awareness campaign in all districts in Srilanka on rights day theme, Services of consumer affair authority, Selection of a safe reliable financial institution to fulfill the require and related institution working to protect the consumers etc… The CAA used leaflets and brochures to educate the consumers an the leaflets were distributed to the consumers in public places such as bus stands, railway station, market, near the school, banks and government institute etc..The CAA obtains the assistance of central bank too. CAA has taken steps to educate around 15000 consumers through out the country. More over steps were taken to educate the consumers through electronic media. A TV program was conducted by CAA with assistance of the central bank on the world day theme. News papers supplement was published on the theme “Our Money Our Rights”.

3.1.2) How the above Social responsibility program of CAA has a link to Hemas directly or indirectly.

From the outcome of Social responsibility program of CAA it can have direct or indirect influence with company’s which can cause positive and negative impact.As per the above awareness program which educates overall 15000 consumers on how they want to select the product which therefore through the outcome of the program if the consumers found themselves a great value from the product than the amount(cost) they spend on the product then there will be positive impact on the selection of the product and thereby to the company.

At the same time if consumers found less value from the product for what they are paying then there will be a negative impact through consumers not picking the product.When we take into consider on baby cheramy brand which has an extended product portfolio such as soup, cologne, cream etc… and the ingredients that are included in baby cheramy products such as most preferred fragnance of-

22 MEMBERSHIP NUMBER- 14781145

Page 23: Hassaan Assignment

- mothers, mildness of the product, moisturizing etc…where its having great value. The ingredients which have key feature and benefits that most mothers loved to have on baby product and at the same time Hemas are charging fair price for the baby cheramy products when compare to its competitors therefore after the awareness campaign of CAA most consumers will pick the baby cheramy products as they found positive and a direct advantage from the product when consider with the value they gain from the baby cheramy products also compare to its fair price.

3.2) Recommends for changes to the current marketing mix that would enable Hemas to more extensively meet the needs of CAA, in terms CAA interest in corporate social responsibility and ethical issue, while at the same time no adverse effect on consumer/customer.

Introduction The main objective of CAA, the stakeholder being selected are to protect consumers and maintain fair competition in the market. Maintaining a good relationship with this stakeholder is very vital for Hemas and for its baby cheramy brand therefore Hemas should always consider in lining with CAA expectation on any decision on changing of marketing mix of cheramy products.

Products As sited in the audit 1.3 about manufacturing of baby cheramy products company want to be more cautious in adding ingrediants to the product there fore the following recommendation is suggested.

When Hemas adding ingredients to baby soap in order to maintain the moisturizing ability. The ingredients what their saying should be included in the product as it is.When they decide the ingredients they should be cause on selecting the right ingredients which has no negative impact to the consumers. Because CAA will continuously be watchful on above to determine whether Hemas uses the right ingredients which has no side effects or harmfulness to the consumers and also has they carry right quantity and quality of the ingrediants as it is promisedor being approved by CAA.

Price

23 MEMBERSHIP NUMBER- 14781145

Page 24: Hassaan Assignment

As sited in the audit 1.3 CAA will monitor on Hemas price marking therefore sudden price increment is not allowed there by the following recommendation is suggested

1} Many factors can influence the price and which makes Hemas to push the price in order to meet their profit margin. The several factors are When the rawmaterial prices increase we are intend to increase the price

of the product. When electricity and transport expenses increase. When employee’s wages was push to increase will affect the pricing.

Therefore sudden price increment is not allowed in order make the price increment for the product it should be made with the approval of CAA.

2} In the event of a new product being launched in a specific area/region by a small player in order to kill them Hemas should not come up with unethical promotion campaigns such as huge price offs for a longer period or sudden price reduction etc.. These activities can affect the relationship between Hemas and CAA which is not good for the business health therefore Hemas should focus on not to launch above stratergy and thereby help maintaining fair competition in the market.

Place

Mothers like to purchase baby products where its available in clean environment outlets also CAA will monitor that the companies placing their products in right/suitable outlets therefore company should distribute the products in right outlets, channels etc…Baby products: Pharmacies, supermarkets and outlet which can have clean good environment. Not in hardware or dry fish shops etc… which can cause negative impact and destroy the image of companies products not only with CAA but also with consumers

Promotion

For baby products the target customers are mothers therefore the advertisement what the company plan to telecast in television or providing information through social medias such as youtube, podcast, facebook, twitter should be ethical and it should show the relationship of how mothers caring there childrens in a positive manner to win the hearts of mothers and should be inline with CAA rules and regulation. Also advertisement should not promis something which your product cannot deliver hemas should always promis what it can deliver there by to protect customers.

3.3) Evaluating the impact on the above changes would have on Hemas current relationship with CAA including their potential to give Hemas a competitive advantage.

IntroductionAs sited in 1.2 in the audit the relationship the company has with CAA is average and its currently only at satisfactionary level of the RLC 3 model. The recommended changes above would have the following impact on the current relationship Hemas have with CAA.

Promotion 3 RLC- Relationship life cycle

Page 26: Hassaan Assignment

All promotion material of Hemas should ensure to communicate only what its product can deliver to consumers and thereby Hemas can comply CAA regulation of not misleading consumers through false promises. Also should be more selective on there communication mediums because they deal with baby products which are very sensitive to handle. These adaptation will enhance the relationship of Hemas with CAA there for it will not be an issue for Hemas to market their product in future. Further more they also can seek help of CAA for their promotional campaign(to include CAA name in packaging to give more confident on the product to consumers) as an when required this will create a greater competitive advantage for Hemas resulting in increase in sales.

Place

Hemas changes to the above recommendation to take necessary to maintain standard recommended procedures by CAA through out distributional channel(Manufacture-Consumer) such as :- recommended temperature, recommended stacking height etc..Through this hemas can ensure protecting consumer by giving them the product in the same quality from where its manufactures. This will create consumer loyalty for Hemas baby cheramy products and there by greater confident with CAA therefore it will be good competitive advantage for Hemas to reach more consumers who will not hesitate to purchase hemas baby cheramy products as CAA is confident on that.

Price

As mention in the report 3.2 many factors will influence pricing of the product because of those factors hemas cannot increase the price suddenly as it is not allowed by CAA. Inorder to get the approval it need to provide the case which including

Increase in the cost rawmaterial compare with last year to this year Increment in the transportation cost Increase in tax in importing goods Increase in promotional cost

And also company need to provide marketing audit report to CAA. After Hemas providing these information with approval of CAA if Hemas increase its price there want be any issues from CAA for Baby cheramy products therefore through being comply with CAA rules and regulation hemas can build its relationship forward with CAA and consumers will also pick the product with not only for the brand loyalty also Hemas has increase the price with the approval of CAA and this will be a competitive advantage for the company as consumers will pick the product without any issues on pricing of the product

3.4) Challenges Hemas face in gaining organization support and funding for the above recommendation done report 3.2

Convincing other department within the organization Supply department

When Hemas tries to improve the quality of the products which they produce and ensure that the same is maintained in order to ensure the consumer receives the agreed quality. It mostly depends on the ability to get the best quality of rawmaterial through out for the production which is the responsibility of supply department. Since they would have got used to routine purchasing pattern of rawmaterials and needed material to produce the product, if Hemas need a change to improve the quality supply will see this as a difficult task and more over they would not be happy to change the way that they were handling their job just because of marketing people requirement, therefore this will be a challenge for us to face with.

Acounting departmentAccounting department need to release the funds to get the rawmaterials and the correct Ingrediants to improve the quality of the product there fore they also will face certain issues inorder to release the funds. The issues are

They will face a situation in loss in margin inorder to fund for the recommendation made in the report 3.2

They will face a cashflow issue They will face a net revenue issue etc…

Logistic departmentLogistic need to be carried out effectively and efficienly, through the most appropriate allocation of resources along with supply chain. Inorder to improve the quality of the product It need be supplying the right products to the right place at the right time therefore the challenges can be faced are to improve the quality need to be more focus, need to be strictly compliance of required standard etc…

Resistance from employees Employees will resist sudden changes in manufacturing the product (To improve the quality of baby cheramy products) where they will need to change the skills and pattern their working to improve the quality of the product such as:-

27 MEMBERSHIP NUMBER- 14781145

Page 28: Hassaan Assignment

Employees will be specialize in current working style as for the sudden change

they will need to change their working style where they might feel it as an extra burden.

Sudden change will force the employees to work for extended working hours where they need to put more efforts inorder to improve the quality of the product.

As the employees are dealing with baby products already they are focus in delivering the quality product for babies without harming their soft skins There fore inorder to improve the quality of the product they need to be more forcus.
