About Electronics Industry

History of Electronics in India
The Electronics Industry in India Took Off Around 1965 With an
Orientation Towards Space and Defense Technologies. This Was Rigidly
Controlled

and

Initiated

by

the

Government.

This

Was

Followed

by

Developments in Consumer Electronics Mainly with Transistor Radios, Black &

White TV, Calculators and Other Audio Products. Colour Televisions Soon
Followed. In 1982-A Significant Year in the History of Television in India The
Government Allowed Thousand of Colour TV Sets to Be Imported Into the
Country to Coincide with the Broadcast of Asian Games in New Delhi. 1985 Saw
the Advent of Computers and Telephone Exchanges, Which Were Succeeded by
Digital Exchanges in 1988. The Period Between 1984 And 1990 Was the Golden
Period for Electronics During While the Industry Witnessed Continuous and
Rapid Growth.
From 1991 Onwards, There Was First an Economic Crises Triggered by the
Gulf War Which Was Followed by Political and Economic Uncertainties Within
the Country. Pressure On the Electronics Industry Remained Though Growth and
5

Recently the Trend Towards Convergence of Technologies.

After the Software Boom in Mid 1990 Indias Focus Shifted to Software.
While the Hardware Sector Was Treated with Indifference by Successive
Governments. Moreover the Steep Fall in Custom Tariffs Made the Hardware
Sector Suddenly Vulnerable to International Competition. In 1997 The Ita
Agreement Was Signed at the Wto Where India Committed Itself to Total
Elimination of All Customs Duties On It Hardware by 2005. In the Subsequent
Years, A Number of Companies Turned Sick and Had to Be Closed Down. At the
Same Time Companies Like Moser Baer, Samtel Colour, Celetronix Etc. Have
Made a Mark Globally.

In Recent Years the Electronic Industry Is Growing at a Brisk Pace. It Is

Currently Worth $ 10 Billion but According to Estimates, Has the Potential to
Reach $ 40 Billion by 2010. The Largest Segment Is the Consumer Electronics
Segment. While Is Largest Export Segment Is the Consumer Electronics
Segment. While Is Largest Export Segment Is of Components.
The Electronic Industry in India Constitutes Just 0.7% Of the Global
Electronic Industry. Hence It Is Miniscule by International Comparison.

Are Flowing in to Augment Manufacturing Capacity. India However Remains a
Major Importer of Electronic Materials, Components and Finished Equipment
Amounting to Over Us$ 11.6 Bn at Present.

Company Profile
About Sansui
Brief Profile
Sansui Electric Co. Ltd. Is a Japanese Manufacturer of Audio and Video
Equipment. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, It Is Part of Grande Holdings, A
Chinese Hong Kong Based Conglomerate, Who Also Owns Japanese Brands
Akai and Nakamichi.

Founded in Tokyo in 1947, Sansui Initially Manufactured Electronic Parts, But

by the 1960s Had Developed a Reputation for Making Serious Audio
Components. They Were Sold in Foreign Markets Through That and the Next
Decade. Sansuis Amplifiers and Tuners From the 1960s and 1970s Remain in
Demand by Audio Enthusiasts.
In the UK Around 1982, The Sansui Au-D101 Amplifier and It's More
Powerful Sibling the Au-D33, Were Highly Acclaimed by Audiophiles and Were
so Well Matched to a Pair of Kef Coda III Speakers That They Could Be Bought
As a Set From Some Outlets. These Amplifiers Used a Complex Feed Forward
Servo System Which Resulted in Very Low 2nd Order Harmonic Distortion.
Despite This Success, Sansui Completely Failed to Follow Up with Further Mass
Market Audiophile Components.
As the Mid 1980s Arrived, Sales Were Lost to Competitors (Sony,
Pioneer, And Matsushitas Technics). Sansui Began to Lose Visibility in the
United States Around Company Began to Manufacturing High End Components
in Japan. The Company Began to Manufacture High-End Television Sets and
Other Video Equipment, But Ceased Exportation. In the Late 1990s, The
Companys Brand Was Used On Video Equipment Manufactured by Other
Companies. The Current Manufacturer of the Rebranded Sets Is Orion Electric,
Based in Osaka and Fukui, Japan. It's U.S. Subsidiary Markets Products Under
the Sansui Brand, Among Others. Sansui Is Thus a Mere Umbrella Brand at
Present. This Radical Change in Sansuis Corporate Identity has Resulted in a
Notable Change in It's Product Quality As Consumers Now Tend to Consider
Sansui a Mass-Market Brand Rather Than a Maker of High-End Electronics.

10

Studying Consumers Provides Clues for Developing New Products, Product Features, Prices,
Channels, Messages, And Other Marketing-Mix Elements.

A Model of Consumer Behavior

At One Time, Marketers Could Understand Consumers Through the Daily Experience of Selling
to Them. But the Growth of Sansui Companies and Markets has Removed Many Marketing
Managers From Direct Contact with Customers. Increasingly, Managers Have Had to Rely On
the 7 Os Framework for Consumer Research to Answer the Following Key Questions About
Any Market:
Who Constitutes the Market?

Occupants

What Does the Market Buy?

Objects

Why Does the Market Buy?

Objectives

Who Participates in the Buying?

Organizations

How Does the Market Buy?

Operations

When Does the Market Buy?

Where Does the Market Buy?

Occasions

Outlets

The Starting Point for Understanding Buyer Behavior Is Stimulus-Response Model Shown
Below. Marketing and Environmental Stimuli Enter the Buyers Consciousness. The Buyers
Characteristics and Decision Process Lead to Certain Purchase Decisions. The Marketers Task Is
to Understand What Happens in the Buyers Consciousness Between the Arrival of Outside
Stimuli and the Buyers Purchase Decisions. They Must Answer Two Questions:

Recommendation
I Recommended That Sansui Should Also Concentrate More in Technological Advancements
Which More of the Consumers Are Expecting Now in the Present World. In the Same Way
Sansui Can Also Concentrate and Try Launching Leds Which Will Be the Future After Lcds.
The After Sales Service Must Be Taken Care of Every Point of Time Because Worst Backup
Service May Spread Negative Image Among the Potential Consumers Therefore Affecting Sales
Drastically Care Should Be Taken for That Sansui Can Also Improve It's Range of Products
From the Current to Advanced, It Can Launch Various Home Appliances Inductions Which More
Consumers Are Referring Now Instead to Be More Cost Effective, In the Same Way Can Also
Introduce More Models.
Similarly Sansui has Good Base Here in the Region Jalandhar Where the Study Was Conducted
but Unfortunately It Fails to Utilize It Fully Up to the Level, Hence It Must Be Taken in Mind
and Measures Should Be Framed for Utilizing the Capacity. It Can Be Effectively Done Through
Various Sales Promotions Activities and Building a Good Rapport with the Dealers and
Distributors in the Locality Because They Only Act As the Mains Source for Supplying the
Products.
31

The Pull and Push Strategies Must Be Often Discussed with Them for Effectively Marketing the
Products. Various Offers and Incentives Can Be Offered to Them Apart From Doing so to
Consumers in Order to Improve the Sales Effectively.
