ABOUT RADIO

Radio broadcasting is an audio (sound) broadcasting service, broadcast through the air as radio waves (a form of electromagnetic radiation) from a transmitter to a receiving antenna. Stations can be linked in radio networks to broadcast common programming, either in syndication or simulcast or both. Audio broadcasting also can be done via cable FM, local wire networks, satellite and the Internet. Radio is the wireless transmission of signals, by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of light.

DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT


The theoretical basis of the propagation of electromagnetic waves was first described in 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell in his paper to the Royal Society A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field, which followed his work between 1861 and 1865. In 1878 David E. Hughes was the first to transmit and receive radio waves when he noticed that his induction balance caused noise in the receiver of his homemade telephone. It was Heinrich Rudolf Hertz who, between 1886 and 1888, first validated Maxwell's theory through experiment, demonstrating that radio radiation had all the properties of waves (now called Hertzian waves), and discovering that the electromagnetic equations could be reformulated into a partial differential equation called the wave equation. William Henry Ward was issued {{US patent|126356}} on April 30, 1872. Mahlon Loomis was issued {{US patent|129971}} on July 30, 1872. Landell de Moura, a Brazilian priest and scientist, conducted experiments after 1893 (but at least by 1894). He did not publicize his achievement until 1900. Claims have been made that Nathan Stubblefield invented radio before either Tesla or Marconi, but his device seems to have worked by induction transmission rather than radio transmission.

20TH CENTURY
Developments in the early 20th century (1900-1959): . Aircraft used commercial AM radio stations for navigation. This continued through the early 1960s when VOR systems finally became widespread (though AM stations are still marked on U.S. aviation charts). . In the early 1930s, single sideband and frequency

modulation were invented by amateur radio operators. By the end of the decade, they were established commercial modes.

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

. Radio was used to transmit pictures visible as television as early as the 1920s. Standard analog transmissions started in North America and Europe in the 1940s. . In 1954, Regency introduced a pocket transistor radio, the TR-1, powered by a "standard 22.5V Battery".

Developments in the latter half of the 20th century (1960-1999): In 1960, Sony introduced their first transistorized radio, small enough to fit in a vest

pocket, and able to be powered by a small battery. It was durable, because there were no tubes to burn out. Over the next twenty years, transistors displaced tubes almost completely except for very high power, or very high frequency, uses. In 1963 color television was commercially transmitted, and the first (radio)

communication satellite, TELSTAR, was launched. In the late 1960s, the U.S. long-distance telephone network began to convert to a digital network, employing digital radios for many of its links. In the 1970s, LORAN became the premier radio navigation system. Soon, the U.S. Navy experimented with satellite navigation, culminating in the invention and launch of the GPS constellation in 1987. In the early 1990s, amateur radio experimenters began to use personal computers with audio cards to process radio signals. In 1994, the U.S. Army and DARPA launched an aggressive, successful project to construct a software radio that could become a different radio on the fly by changing software. Digital transmissions began to be applied to broadcasting in the late 1990s.

21 ST CENTURY
A) INTERNET RADIO
Internet radio consists of sending radio-style audio programming over streaming Internet connections: no radio transmitters need be involved at any point in the process.

B) DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCASTING


Digital audio broadcasting (DAB): appears to be set to grow in importance relative to FM radio for airborne broadcasts in several countries.

C) LEGAL ISSUES WITH RADIO


When radio was first introduced in the 1930s many predicted the end of records. Radio was a free medium for the public to hear music for which they would normally pay. While some companies saw radio as a new avenue for promotion, other feared it would cut in to profits from record sales and live performances. Many companies had their major stars sign agreements that they would not appear on radio. Radio ownership grew from 2 out of 5 homes in 1931 to 4 out of 5 homes in 1938. Meanwhile record sales fell from $75 million in 1929 to $26 million in 1938 (with a low point of $5 million in 1933). Although it should be noted that the economics of the situation were also affected by the fact this took place during the Great Depression. The copyright owners of these songs were concerned that they would see no gain from the popularity of radio and the free music it provided. The copyright holder for a song had control over all public performances for profit.

D) AUDIO
AM broadcast radio sends music and voice in the Medium Frequency (MF0.300 MHz to 3 MHz) radio spectrum. AM radio uses amplitude modulation, in which the amplitude of the transmitted signal is made proportional to the sound amplitude captured (transuded) by the microphone while the transmitted frequency remains unchanged. FM broadcast radio sends music and voice with higher fidelity than AM radio. In frequency modulation, amplitude variation at the microphone causes the transmitter frequency to fluctuate.

USES OF RADIO

Many of radio's early uses were maritime, for sending telegraphic messages using Morse code between ships and land. One of the earliest users included the Japanese Navy scouting the Russian fleet during the Battle of Tsushima in 1901. One of the most memorable uses of marine telegraphy was during the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, including communications between operators on the sinking ship and nearby vessels, and communications to shore stations listing the survivors. Radio was used to pass on orders and communications between armies and navies on both sides in World War I; Germany used radio communications for diplomatic messages once its submarine cables were cut by the British. The United States passed on President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points to Germany via radio during the war. Broadcasting began to become feasible in the 1920s, with the widespread introduction of radio receivers, particularly in Europe and the United States. Besides broadcasting, point-to-point broadcasting, including telephone messages and relays of radio programs, became widespread in the 1920s and 1930s. Another use of radio in the pre-war years was the development of detecting and locating aircraft and ships by the use of radar (Radio Detecting And Ranging). Today, radio takes many forms, including wireless networks, mobile communications of all types, as well as radio broadcasting. Read more about radio's history. Before the advent of television, commercial radio broadcasts included not only news and music, but dramas, comedies, variety shows, and many other forms of entertainment. Radio was unique among dramatic presentation that it used only sound.

HISTORY OF RADIO IN INDIA

Broadcasting began

in India with the formation of a private radio service in Madras

(presently Chennai) in 1924. In the very same year, British colonial government approved a license to a private company, the Indian Broadcasting Company, to inaugurate Radio stations in Bombay and Kolkata. The company almost went bankrupt in 1930 but the colonial government took away the two transmitters and the Department of Labour and Industries started operating them as the Indian State Broadcasting Corporation. In 1936, this very Corporation was renamed All India Radio (AIR) and was controlled by the Department of Communications. When India became independent in 1947, AIR was made a separate Department under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Government of India controls the radio broadcasting in India that works under the Directorate General of All India Radio. It was established in 1936 and since 1957 All India Radio was renamed as Akashvani. Akashvani is a government-owned, semi -commercial operation of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. There were only six radio stations in India at

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

the time of independence. All India Radio`s network had expanded by the mid-1990s to around 146 AM stations along with a National Channel, the Integrated North-East Service that aimed at reaching out to the tribal groups in northeast India and handles the External Services. There are five regional headquarters for All India Radio, namely in the North Zone in New Delhi; the East Zone in Kolkata; the North-East Zone in Guwahati, Assam; the West Zone in Mumbai; and the South Zone in Chennai.

The government-owned network of Indian radio provides both national and local programs in Hindi, English, and sixteen regional languages. Commercial Radio services in India started in 1967 by Vividh Bharati Service with its headquarters at Mumbai. Vividh Bharati earned its revenues from extensive advertisements and had been broadcasting from thirty-one AM and FM stations during the mid-1990s. India has a wide-ranging network of medium wave and short-wave stations. In 1994 there had been almost eighty-five FM stations and seventythree short wave stations that connected the entire country. The broadcasting equipment used in India is mainly indigenous and reaches special audiences, such as farmers needing agro climatic, plant protection, and other agriculture-related information. The number of radio receivers increased almost five times between 1970 and 1994. Initially it was around 14 million that rose to nearly 65 million. Most radios are also produced within India.

The foreign broadcast service is a function of the External Services Division of All India Radio. In 1994 seventy hours of news, features, and entertainment programs were broadcast daily in twenty-five languages using thirty-two shortwave transmitters. The primary target audiences are the listeners in neighboring countries and the large overseas Indian community.

The early history of Indian radio broadcasting in independent India set the parameters for the succeeding role of television in the nation. At Independence, the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru followed three major goals: firstly, to achieve political integration; secondly, to attain economic development; and finally, to achieve social modernisation. Indian broadcast media was expected to play an important role in all three areas. In those days radio was considered as an integral medium of communication, primarily due to the absence of any motion medium. All the national affairs and social changes were informed

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

11

through the waves of broadcast media and within no time, popularity of radio spread nationwide. Indian radio proved to be a prime medium of social integration.

Indian Radio took birth and was promoted by the government at its best for the objective of political nation building. National integration and the development of a "national consciousness" happened to be the primary objective of All India Radio. Broadcasting was organized as the solitary reason of the chief planner of this process of political integration the State. The mission of broadcasting helped to overcome the urgent crisis of political volatility that followed Independence and cultivated the long-term progression of political modernization and nation building that was the prevailing ideology of the newly formed nation.

Indian radio also took up the task of aiding in the development of economic scenario. The Indian Constitution was adopted in 1950 and authorized a strong role for the Indian State in the economic development of the country. The use of broadcasting was further considered to be a development process that was naturally a consequence to this state-led developmental philosophy. Indian radio was specially designed programme to contribute to the process of social modernisation, which was an important pre-requisite of economic development. The dominant development philosophy of the time scrutinized the problems of development as the basic ones in the developing countries. These internal causes included

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

12

traditional value systems; lack of entrepreneurial ability, lack of innovation and lack of a national consciousness and experts could suggest only communication solutions to bring upon. The main problem was that the old ideas were influencing the young minds thus hindering the process of social change and modernization. The role of broadcasting provided an inlet for the flow of modern ideas. It was due to the same reason of static thoughts prevailing in the society; that television came into existence in 1959. Television broadcasts started from Delhi in September 1959, again associated with the All India Radio`s services. Programs were broadcast twice a week for an hour a day on welfare topics related to community health, citizens duties and rights, and traffic and road sense. In 1961 the television medium were expanded to include a school educational television project, however the importance of radio did not decline. When television was taking birth, radio happened to be a matured medium in India. Various entertainment programmes were added in the curriculum of Indian Radio that included melodious songs and interview panels. A limited number of old U.S. and British shows were also telecast sometimes in radio. The oldest radio station of India, All India Radio or Akashvani is one of the largest radio networks in the world.

RADIO INDUSTRY EXISTING IN INDIA

Radio industry globally is a well established and a mature medium of communication and used by advertisers affectively in brand building and sales promotion. The medium also provides entertainment and information to its consumers and hence acts as an important business medium of communication and entertainment. In India the private radio industry is experiencing rapid growth. Though the industry was privatized in late 1990s, the business model was not viable until the phase II of licensing came into force. The phase II fostered competition and brought in new players into the industry. The new and the old players largely belong to established business groups who in turn are part of larger media houses. These players also control a large chunk of radio business in the country. As part of the overall growth experienced in the Indian economy during last decade, the media and the advertising industry have experienced good growths. While the share of radio industry is far below the international standards, the industry is experiencing good growth. Because the model of the industry is advertisement driven, the radio industry largely mirrors the contours of the advertising industry. While there are several promising factors that support the growth of the Indian radio industry, there are quite a few factors that might actually delay or dampen the growth. The competition for listeners and advertisers that ushers in price war without any strong differentiating factor among players is not good for the long term health of the industry. The undifferentiated content issue should be addressed immediately and even though the players might be ready now, the regulator has to address the concern. The phase III licensing will surely enable the industry to move forward and resolve some long standing issues but it is still some time away and the new and existing players should adopt wait, watch and prepare policy until it is announced to make new moves.

DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO IN INDIA

The birth of Radio broadcasting in India has started on an experimental basis in the year 1921 when Times of India in collaboration with Post and Telegraph Department broadcasts a musical programme . Sir George Lloyd put forward this request to those concerned companies. In 1927 private radio clubs proliferated. In the year 1930 radio broadcasting started operating under the Indian Broadcasting Company. However, the company went into liquidation after a span of three years and the Government took the charge of broadcasting at their own expense. On March 1935 a separate office of the Controller of Broadcasting was created .The landmark in the history of broadcasting is the change of the name of the Indian Broadcasting to All India Radio (AIR) in the year 1936. In the same year Delhi station was formed.

From 1936 onwards the development of radio broadcasting was sluggish but steadfast. Nine AIR stations opened up in different places like Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Lucknow and Tiruchi. From 1957 onwards AIR was popularly known as Akashvani.

Eminent personalities had lent their voices for radio broadcasting. On 12th November, 1947, the voice of Gandhiji was broadcasted in AIR.

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

Keeping in view the motto, "Bahujan Hitaya; Bahujan Sukhaya" i.e. the benefit and happiness of large sections of the people, AIR aims to provide information, education and entertainment. It has defined its objectives in the following:

1. Preserve the country`s unity and the democratic values as shrined in the Constitution;

2. Present a reasonable and equilibrated flow of data of national, regional, local and international concern including contrastive views. Citation of any opinion or ideology of its own should be avoided. Integrity of the whole nation should be respected. Variety in broadcasting should be incorporated.

3. Develop programmes which can arouse, communicate, elucidate, train, entertain and improve to satisfy all the audiences through out the nation.

4. Formulate different programmes for broadcasting, keeping in mind all sections of people of the nation.

5. Prepare developmental and reference programmes on various fields like Agriculture, Education, Health and Family Welfare , Science and Technology.

6. Prepare programmes for rustic, illiterate and poor population including the youths , social and cultural minorities, the tribes and of those occupying the borders backward or distant areas.

7. Encourage consolidation and harmony of the nation.

AIR today has a network of 223 broadcasting centres with 143 medium frequency(MW), 54 high frequency (SW) and 161 FM transmitters. It encompasses an area of 91.42% serving 99.13% of the people in India. AIR covers 24 Languages and 146 dialects in home services.

Over the years the radio broadcasting has expanded its service both in terms of reach and content suitable to the requirements of the nation. A three- tire system has been introduced. The national Channel was formed on 18th May, 1988 . It is located in New Delhi and it suffices national broadcasting. Hourly news bulletins , alternatively in Hindi and English are broadcasted from the national Channel. Major stations look after the regional broadcasts. Local radio stations are formed in different areas and they are now more than eighty in number.

AIR`s services and programmes too have expanded in leaps and bounds. Till date these include News Services , Cultural Programmes, Extension education services, External services for foreign countries.

NSD produces news and comments both for Indian and foriegn audiences .It produces 112 bulletins in 17 languages emanating from Delhi and is transmitted to other stations.45 Regional News Units brings forth as many as 187 regional and 65 external news bulletins. The External News bulletins, are being brought out in 25 languages. Spotlight` in English and `Samayiki` in Hindi are the daily broadcasts covering current and local news. Programme on current affairs is disseminated every Sunday.

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

It incorporates comments of experts, teachers politicians on national and international matters. Besides it broadcasts "Charcha ka Vishai Hai", programme in Hind ,on every Wednesday;There are composite news programmes called "Samachar Prabhat" and "Morning News" in Hindi and English respectively. They are of duration of 15 minutes each incorporating a news bulletin, a commentary, and reviewing of daily press . An mid day news of one hour is broadcasted from 2 p.m. News is also available on the Internet. The News Services Division has its own website for updating News round the clock. In External services, it covers 27 languages; 17 national and 10 foreign languages. Moreover programmes for rural folks, army personnel , sports , musical programmes are broadcasted to meet the thirst of its target audiences.

Although there are ample scope to transmit radio programmes of varied content and presentations, radio is considered solely to be a medium for developmental broadcasting.

PRIVATIZATION OF FM RADIO IN INDIA

Internationally, FM radio broadcasting is the preferred mode of radio transmission due to its high quality stereophonic sound. In March 2000, the Government invited private sector into FM radio broadcasting by opening up the frequencies in the FM band (87.5-108 MHz). In this Phase I Policy of FM radio privatization, private operators were invited to bid for a 10-year license to set-up and operate FM radio stations. The original plan was to set-up 108 FM radio frequencies across 40 cities. 101 bids were received, aggregating to a license fee of approximately Rs.4.25 billion. [Source: FICCI Ernst & Young Report, 2004]. The unusually high license fee structure and year-on-year annual escalations of 15% hampered the FM radio growth.

The Government's Tenth Plan stipulates that private operations are to be encouraged to provide FM radio services in metros and small cities. They recently announced Phase II of the privatization of FM radio, which is an initiative in line with the roadmap laid out in the Tenth Plan. A total of 338 channels in 91 cities across the country would be made available for bidding by Indian private companies.

In May 2000, the Government of India opened the Sector for participation by the private FM broadcasters and offered 108 frequencies in 40 cities for open tender bidding. At present, 21 private FM stations are on the air in 12 cities. Now The Government of India, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has formulated a policy on expansion of FM radio broadcasting services through private agencies. This is also known as Phase - II of expansion of FM radio broadcasting.

The salient features of policy for expansion of FM radio broadcasting services through private agencies (Phase - II) are: Process Of Granting Permission: The entities that plan to operate FM Stations in India will have to bid for the license. The permission shall be granted on the basis of One-Time Entry Fees (OTEF) quoted by the bidders (Closed Tender System).

51

NEW TRENDS IN HRM

To know the business environment an organization operates in, three major trends must be considered : 1. Demographics: the characteristics of a population/workforce, for example, age, gender or social class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offerings, insurance packages etc.

2. Diversity: the variation within the population/workplace. Changes in society now mean that a larger proportion of organizations are made up of "baby-boomers" or older employees in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of "workplace diversity" simply advocate an employee base that is a mirror reflection of the makeup of society insofar as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

3. Skills and qualifications: As industries move from manual to more managerial professions so does the need for more highly skilled graduates. If the market is "tight" (i.e., not enough staff for the jobs), employers must compete for employees by offering financial rewards, community investment, etc.

The Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Statement are essential, but they are only the starting point for successful financial management. Apply Ratio Analysis to Financial Statements to analyze the success, failure, and progress of your business. Ratio Analysis enables the business owner/manager to spot trends in a business and to compare its performance and condition with the average performance of similar businesses in the same industry. To do this compare your ratios with the average of businesses similar to yours and compare your own ratios for several successive years, watching especially for any unfavorable trends that may be starting. Ratio analysis may provide the all-important early warning indications that allow you to solve your business problems before your business is destroyed by them.

BALANCE SHEET RATIO ANALYSIS


Important Balance Sheet Ratios measure liquidity and solvency (a business's ability to pay its bills as they come due) and leverage (the extent to which the business is dependent on creditors' funding). They include the following ratios: Liquidity Ratios These ratios indicate the ease of turning assets into cash. They include the Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, and Working Capital. Current Ratios. The Current Ratio is one of the best known measures of financial strength. It is figured as shown below: Total Current Assets Current Ratio = ____________________ Total Current Liabilities The main question this ratio addresses is: "Does your business have enough current assets to meet the payment schedule of its current debts with a margin of safety for possible losses in current assets, such as inventory shrinkage or collectable accounts?" A generally acceptable current ratio is 2 to 1. But whether or not a specific ratio is satisfactory depends on the nature of the business and the

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

68

characteristics of its current assets and liabilities. The minimum acceptable current ratio is obviously 1:1, but that relationship is usually playing it too close for comfort. If you decide your business's current ratio is too low, you may be able to raise it by: Paying some debts. Increasing your current assets from loans or other borrowings with a maturity of more than one year. Converting non-current assets into current assets. Increasing your current assets from new equity contributions. Putting profits back into the business.

Quick Ratios. The Quick Ratio is sometimes called the "acid-test" ratio and is one of the best measures of liquidity. It is figured as shown below: Cash + Government Securities + Receivables Quick Ratio = _________________________________________ Total Current Liabilities The Quick Ratio is a much more exacting measure than the Current Ratio. By excluding inventories, it concentrates on the really liquid assets, with value that is fairly certain. It helps answer the question: "If all sales revenues should disappear, could my business meet its current obligations with the readily convertible `quick' funds on hand?" An acid-test of 1:1 is considered satisfactory unless the majority of your "quick assets" are in accounts receivable, and the pattern of accounts receivable collection lags behind the schedule for paying current liabilities. Working Capital. Working Capital is more a measure of cash flow than a ratio. The result of this calculation must be a positive number. It is calculated as shown below: Working Capital = Total Current Assets - Total Current Liabilities Bankers look at Net Working Capital over time to determine a company's ability to weather financial crises. Loans are often tied to minimum working capital requirements. A general observation about these three Liquidity Ratios is that the higher they are the better, especially if you are relying to any significant extent on creditor money to finance assets.

Leverage Ratio This Debt/Worth or Leverage Ratio indicates the extent to which the business is reliant on debt financing (creditor money versus owner's equity):

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

69

Total Liabilities Debt/Worth Ratio = _______________ Net Worth Generally, the higher this ratio, the more risky a creditor will perceive its exposure in your business, making it correspondingly harder to obtain credit.

INCOME STATEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS


The following important State of Income Ratios measure profitability: Gross Margin Ratio This ratio is the percentage of sales dollars left after subtracting the cost of goods sold from net sales. It measures the percentage of sales dollars remaining (after obtaining or manufacturing the goods sold) available to pay the overhead expenses of the company. Comparison of your business ratios to those of similar businesses will reveal the relative strengths or weaknesses in your business. The Gross Margin Ratio is calculated as follows: Gross Profit Gross Margin Ratio = _______________ Net Sales (Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold) Net Profit Margin Ratio This ratio is the percentage of sales dollars left after subtracting the Cost of Goods sold and all expenses, except income taxes. It provides a good opportunity to compare your company's "return on sales" with the performance of other companies in your industry. It is calculated before income tax because tax rates and tax liabilities vary from company to company for a wide variety of reasons, making comparisons after taxes much more difficult. The Net Profit Margin Ratio is calculated as follows:

Bhagwan Mahavir College of Business Administration

70

Net Profit Before Tax Net Profit Margin Ratio = _____________________ Net Sales Inventory Turnover Ratio This ratio reveals how well inventory is being managed. It is important because the more times inventory can be turned in a given operating cycle, the greater the profit. The Inventory Turnover Ratio is calculated as follows: Net Sales Inventory Turnover Ratio = ___________________________ Average Inventory at Cost Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio This ratio indicates how well accounts receivable are being collected. If receivables are not collected reasonably in accordance with their terms, management should rethink its collection policy. If receivables are excessively slow in being converted to cash, liquidity could be severely impaired. The Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio is calculated as follows: Net Credit Sales/Year __________________ = Daily Credit Sales 365 Days/Year Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable Turnover (in days) = _________________________ Daily Credit Sales Return on Assets Ratio This measures how efficiently profits are being generated from the assets employed in the business when compared with the ratios of firms in a similar business. A low ratio in comparison with industry averages indicates an inefficient use of business assets. The Return on Assets Ratio is calculated as follows: Net Profit Before Tax Return on Assets = ________________________ Total Assets

TARGET
Radio City has targeted 25- 44 years of age group people, the target segment of the organization are college students, teenagers house wives, business executive and old people who amount to the top of the spectrum.

DIFFERENTIATION
The search for competitive advantage Regulatory policies (Phase II licensing norms) do not allow for content differentiation and permit only non-news content Non-differentiated (homogenous) content (bollywood music - Hindi movie music) across all stations 70% of the content is bollywood music. Companies innovate within a limited bandwidth to compete and gain competitive advantage Stations try and differentiate with jokes, chat, humor, RJ mentions, etc. in the remaining 30% Stations unwilling to experiment with the format for fear of alienating revenue (advertisers) Few stations have experimented with format and content Meow FMs target audience is women Hit 95 FM plays songs in English language Chennai Lives format is interactive talk shows

Differentiation is not the priority for the stations, breaking even is. According to stations, branding is the key differentiating element

81

SEGMENTATION

CONCLUSION
Conclusion is very important part of the project report. Conclusion brings the end to the project and which describe that what we have understand from the whole finding and analysis on survey and what can we decide at the end.

We share the optimism of the industry for a brighter future and hence joined hands with RADIO CITY in studying the company at a global level something which has not been attempted so far. This report has covered Operational and Scheduling Planning, Marketing Strategies, Financial Structure of the company and Human Resource Planning. It has also covered the survey part which was filled with lots of experience both Good and Bad. Good side of the survey was that, it gave us certain practical knowledge in the service industry and we were thankful to those retailers who had years of experience in this industry and they shared it with us by giving their precious time to us. Bad side of the survey was that, we as college students were not entertained by some retailers. Over the last few months, we worked hard and received whole hearted support from the company to put together this report. We believe that this report brings together for the first time all constituents of the company to take a unified view of FM Radio as a service. RADIO CITY already rolled out in several states successfully, has created a niche in 20 cities and will continue in creating more niches across the country. It reaches the ears of lakhs and lakhs of peoples across the length and breadth of the country. We are thankful to Radio City for giving us this opportunity and to all stakeholders who contributed to this study. We sincerely hope that this report will help the company in their vision and all other stakeholders to understand the company better and consequently share its vision.
