INDUSTRY PROFILE
One cannot simply think of economic development without the
growth of the Cement Industry. Cement one of the basic elements for
setting up storage and health infrastructure plays a crucial role in
economic development of a country.
Having more then a hundred and fifty years of history it had
been used extensively construction of anything from of building to
projects. As such cement consumption may be considered as one of
the yardsticks in scaling economy. It is core sector industry and a rise
in the price of cement is bound to have inflationary effects on other
industries with in the economy.
India is the second largest cement producing country after china.
The industry is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation that
has creator intense competitive pressure on price realizations. Spread
across length and breath of the country there are 120 large plants
belonging to 56 companies of around 135 Million Tones (MT) as March
2002.
The industry was totally decontrolled in March 1989 and deli
censed in July 1991 leading to a rapid increase in installed capacity
from 61.55 Million Tones per annum in 1989-90 to 105.25 Million Tones
per annum in 1996-97. Today cement ranks among the to five
industries in terms of their contribution to the union excise duty.
Cement manufacturing involves hating a mixture of limestone
and clay. Partial fusion occurs and lumps called clinkers are formed.
The clinker is mixed with little amount of gypsum to give Ordinary
Portland Portland_Cement (OPC), mixing this with blast furnace slag or
husk yields Portland Slag Cement (PSC) and Portland Pozzolonna
1
Cement (PPC). The producing capacities of are, PPC and PBFSC are 70,
18 and 11 percent respectively. The manufacturing process has also
changed from the inefficient wet process to the more efficient dry
process 87% of the total capacity is of dry process and 13% is not.
Cement consumption growth is highly correlated to the GDP
growth and serves ad a leading Indicator. More industrial activities and
greater purchasing power means more asset formation and thus more
consumption of cement.
INSUSTRY STRUCRURE:
The total world production of cement if to be around 1400 MT.
Asia is the largest consumer followed by Europe & the America. India’s
installed capacity and production for 1996-97 was 105.25 Million Tones
Per annum &76.22 including mini and white sector. With 3.8 MT more
already becoming operational this year and another 3 MT to be added,
there will be 57 large cement companies with 114 plants and an
installed capacity of 109 Million Tones per annum.
Before 1991 the Government uses to be the biggest consumer of
cement accounting for almost 40%-45%. Since then its share has been
coming down and now stands at about 30%. About 37% is estimated
taken up by the retail segment.
The cement sector is relatively insulated from International
Trade. Being a very bulky item, International Trade is very limited and
only between neighboring states. Although India has been consistently
exporting cement in the volume of exports took a beating after the
southern Asian crises. From a peak of 2.68MT 1998-98 cement exports
from India have slid down to 2.06 MT in 1998-99.
2
With the expected huge demand in the Asian countries the future
India being a convenient country for the export oriented activities and
with the cheaper labour there are many cement Companies entering
India.
Cement is preferred as building material in India. It is used
extensively in house hold and industrial construction. Earlier
government sector used to consume 50% of the cement sold in India,
but in the last decade it share has come down to 35% rural areas
consume less 23% of the total cement. Availability of cheaper building
material for the nonpermanent structure affects the rural demand.
The budget gave substantial incentives to private sector
construction companies. Ongoing liberalization will lead to an increase
in industrial activities and infrastructure development so it is hoped
that Indian cement industry shall boom again in near future. The
National highway Act to allow private toll collection and identified
projects, bridge, expressways for private construction.
MARKETING:
Cement being a commodity item has low margins and its bulky
nature ensures that the supply is determined by the economical
transportation distance, this led to the formation of regional markets,
Western, Northern, Southern and eastern. And the concentration of
limestone deposits in a few states has a led to the concentration of
limestone the formation of cement plant clusters at seven locations.
Having surpassed the period of shortage and achieving high growth
arte in capacity, implying springing up many plants, the industry is
getting competitive. Hence the necessary and need for coordinated
marketing efforts.
3
The surplus cement that emerged towards end of the 1980’s
necessitated the Indian cement industry to develop marketing
strategies and look for new areas of cement usage. On such are
identified was the coast of concrete roads.
Since 1988 the cement manufacturers association has
propagated the idea of concrete roads through a series of seminars,
workshops and deliberations at decision-making levels at both state
and central governments discussions with metropolitan authorities and
other involved in road building activities. As a result the Delhi-Matura
road is under construction. The city of Bombay has already completed
construction of one-third of its 350 km arterial roads with concrete.
More concrete roads and likely to be built in India both in the private
and government sectors including toll roads and express highways.
The government has recently asked for private participation including
foreign investment for the construction of toll roads, some which are
likely to be concrete.
The incentives offered to private builders include a guarantee of
minimum reasonable rate of return on their investments, increase debt
equity ratio up to 100% foreign equity participation development of
service and rest areas along the road. Expressways between Bombay-
Nasik, Bombay-Pune, Bangalore –Mysore and Bombay-Vadodara are
some of the roads identified.

LITERATURE REVIEWAlthough the superior-subordinate relationship is complex, it is filled with many
opportunities for both to make the relationship meaningful and productive. Superiors'
examination of their beliefs about subordinates as well as subordinates' determination of
the bases of their assumptions about superiors address fundamental aspects of the
relationship. Both the superior's and the subordinate's understanding of the complexity of
authority lays the groundwork for reflective inquiry by superiors and risk taking by
subordinates. In this competitive environment, without both good superiors and good
subordinates organizations will suffer immensely. Acknowledging that the relationship
requires careful management is the first step in making it mutually successful.
who's in charge
"In a superior-subordinate relationship, the person with the most authority is not
necessarily the person in command. Personality factors often carry more weight than
official positions. Understanding how various personality types interact with one
another will help you assess your own situation"
Many managers believe that the power to direct others is conferred by a person's
official position in an organization. In reality, a strong personality will often prevail
over assigned authority. Determining who is really in charge in a specific situation or
how effective a particular superior-subordinate relationship will be requires an analysis of
the types of personalities involved.
Types of Personalities
The power-related behavior of every manager and subordinate can be
characterized as passive, assertive, or aggressive. How a superior and subordinate match
up on this passive-aggressive continuum provides a useful index for predicting how a
superior-subordinate pair will behave toward each other -- whether they will have a
successful working relationship or one that is marked by conflict and dissension.
12
Passiveness is displayed by someone who is typically withdrawn, tries to be a nice
guy, wants to be liked, doesn't like to compete, and feels inadequate when responding to
power challenges. Charlie Brown of cartoon fame is a good example of this type of
person.
Assertiveness can be defined as standing up for oneself. The assertive person
usually gets what he wants without either running roughshod over others or waiting for
permission to pursue his rightful objectives. Assertiveness is a competitive attitude.
Assertive people like to win, and they know that the main ingredient in an organizational
environment is power, whether it involves implementing a change or gaining acceptance
of a new idea.
Aggressiveness refers to the chronic use and abuse of others for one's own ends,
with little or no concern for the harm inflicted on their careers or lives. It is a no-holds-
barred attitude that is usually less a case of competition than of destructiveness. The
aggressive person isn't so much interested in winning as he is in seeing his adversary
lose.
Patterns of Power
In using the passive-aggressive scale, it should be understood that no one is purely
passive, assertive, or aggressive; everyone is a mixture of all three. However, one of
these personality tendencies almost always dominates. Determining the dominant
personality tendencies of the people involved in a specific organizational situation is the
key of assessing the relationship of power that exists between them.
The three basic personality types yield nine patterns of power in superior
subordinate relationships.
Passive superior and passive subordinate: This pair might well be characterized as the
losers in the world of organizations. In an environment where competition is the rule,
these people - if they have a friendly relationship will usually complain about the
inconsiderate and blatant "political" behavior of those who are more assertive and
13
aggressive than they. In their feeling of powerlessness, they are apt to have many
excuses for efforts that don't pan out. Most of their ideas and suggestions are never
implemented because of their inability to transcend organizational constraints and to take
charge of situations where power-oriented actions are called for. Ignoring or bypassing
difficult problems is much easier for them than tackling them head-on. This defeatist
posture protects their limited interpersonal capacities from the confusion that would be
created by failing to succeed in matters with which they are not equipped to cope.
If they are less than friendly with each other, they are apt to complain to their
associates about the other's persistent inaction. Often the superior will make the passive
subordinate the scapegoat for his own limitations. Their relationship with each other is
often either alienated or hostile, or fearful and guilt-ridden. In essence, neither of these
two types will be in charge of his work situation: Thus someone else will determine their
goals and outcomes.
Passive superior and assertive subordinate: This relationship usually defined by the
subordinate who, if he is a loyal type of person, will cover up for the superior and
accomplish the things the superior should be doing on his own. For example, it is often
found that a loyal, assertive staff member will carry the load for a weak, passive manager,
and be able to prop him up for years by making many of his decisions for him in a subtle
way. If the subordinate is ambitious, he will look for away to get out of the situation and
find a new superior who is likely to do more for his career aspirations.
Passive superior and aggressive subordinate: This combination is usually disastrous
for the superior, irrespective of whether the subordinate tends to be overt or covert in his
aggressive behavior. If the subordinate has no qualms about expressing himself, he is
likely to show open disdain for his superior. He is apt to be angry, testy, and vocal in
complaining about a great many of the things the superior says or does. On the other
hand, he could be very sly, gossiping behind the superior's back and planting doubt about
his capabilities in the minds of others, thereby undermining what little authority the
superior may enjoy because of his position.
14
The power relationship between superior and subordinate plays a pivotal role in
determining how effective a manager can be. Once examined for their basic power
patterns, the various personality combinations can help to predict whether a superior-
subordinate relationship will be good or poor, as well as how competitive or cooperative
they will be toward each other.
When the relationship between superior and subordinate is best (for example, both
are assertive), the work progresses well and the results desired are achieved. When the
relationship is worst (for example, the superior is passive and the subordinate is
aggressive), difficulties will mount and results will be poor.
The ideal manager or subordinate is a flexible, almost chameleon-like individual
who can be passive, assertive, or aggressive, depending on the situation. This individual
knows when it is proper to back down, when it is propitious to move ahead with vigor
and determination, and when there is no other choice but to thoroughly trounce an
opponent. This type of manager is the one who is really in charge, and this type of
subordinate is, as a rule, the most effective and promotable.
Managing the superior/subordinate relationship.
Building on research and writing in the fields of career management and mentor
relationships, Baird and Kram analyze the superior-subordinate relationship as an
exchange to which each party brings different needs and resources. They point out that
this relationship can be productive and satisfying--both for the parties concerned and for
the organization--when the needs of one party match the resources of the other. The
article includes a checklist for analyzing how the superior-subordinate relationship
operates as an exchange and how the resources of the parties mesh or fail to mesh. They
do on to show how the superior-subordinate relationship and the needs of the parties
change as each moves through individual career and life cycles. What was once a
productive relationship may, in time, become unproductive, or vice versa. In any event,
its dynamic nature requires that it be managed. Baird and Kram suggest five steps for
managing the relationship as it moves through these changes:
15
(1) Recognizing that the relationship is an exchange;
(2) identifying clearly one's own as well as the other party's needs;
(3) understanding how the subordinate's and boss's needs fit together and
recognizing that the relationship is likely to change;
(4) understanding the constraints under which the boss operates;
(5) establishing a feedback and evaluation process for continuously assessing the
relationship.
16
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Management is not only getting things done by others but also helping ordinary
people to produce extra ordinary results, productivity of men’s capacity is more
important than plant capacity. So for that the relationship between superior and
subordinate should be strong.
Effective relationship results in high employee productivity and job satisfaction.
So this study has been undertaken to know the communication among the employees.
17
