Chapter one

Introduction:

The product or watchword for marketing has to be associated to “innovation or die.

This innovational attributes can become a philosophy compelling or almost parallel to that of the marketing concept (stanton w.s 1981).

Definitions

  1. Offering new improved products for present markets.
  2. A strategy of selling a new product to existing markets.
  3. A state of creating new products that moves the product from concept to test phase and also involves the development of marketing mix (promotion, distributions and prices)
  4. A product market growth strategy in which a company develops new products to sell to its existing markets.
  5. Consist to of the companies seeking products for its current markets.

Development is often referred to as the technical side of business only.  This interpretation or emphasis is not too concise as development itself is more than the application of scientific planning to ensure the progress of the enterprises as a whole

a clearer idea of the development  functions is concerned with word “ improvement.”  A firm that has decided to go into the manufacturing of a product that is in someway an improvement on those there competitors.  If the firm wishes to have any success hey must exercise the development function right from the start.

The established business must pay a needed attention to give he product a better position in the market, otherwise    it would be outrunned or out stripped by vibrant competitors.  Improvement in design performance, materials and processes by a progressive firm may have direct impact on their product.  Again, the demand for a certain circle may be of  uncertain demand especially where fashion is involved and hence product development is paramount and of vital importance.

New product may be introduced to checkmate or replace again (obsolete) or unsuccessful ones.  The need to smoothout seasonal sales fluctuation, exploring new opportunities and using or maximinising excess plant capacity.  A new product can be a minor modification to the existing product features or in the packages of the product.  The

Product development can as well meaning item which is “totally” new in concept.  The term “new” product depends on the view of the firm or company concerned.  What may not be looked at as a new product by the leader in the industry may be referred to as “new” by some other companies within that particular industry.

the need for product development can also be seen when we realize that

30 to 40 percent of a firms current value .

Sales and products do same from products that were not in the firms product portfolio twice years ago.  New results to either utilizes excess plant  capacity or as a need to have enough products to have care of the seasonality in sales.

  • Background of the study

Developing a product to satisfy the desire of the customers is always an up-hill task and most times a night more to most to most manufactures.  Some manufactures are confronted with problems because of there incapacitations to handle product development.

cutix plc is a company located at nnew-anambra state.  Whose responsibility is to produce durable cables?  The company is an employer of many workers. Cutix plc isa well know manufacturing outfit with credible excellent perfance in its corporate and social responsibilities.  They are experts in electric cables and wires.  The firm enjoys a commandable return on investment despite this, the firm still need to strengthen their market show byway of givens priority to further product development.

according to w.k meniru, development is often understood and referred as the technical side of business and it also involves the application of scientic planning to ensure the programs of the enterprises as a whole. In developing the product, a firm will also mercase its market share and the sales volume of the firm will also increase.

Some products of cutix cable came to a decline stage                           and this is as  result of poor product development. Improvement in design performance, materials process by a progressive company may have direct impact on the sales of the competing enterprises and this may render the product absolute.

Cutix cable plc nnewi was incorporator with the chater to make and produce durable and high quality wires and cables using maximum local resources. The employed 100% indigenous manpower, uses local inputs in machinery and adopts rapid integrated programmes for its work-force.

The reason for choosing cutix plc as a case study is that out of 100 different types and sizes of cable manufactured in nigerian cable industry, by cutix plc only forty (40) were successful in the market. Therefore, this study is aimed at identifying problems and prospects that leads to these massive product failure and to profer solutions.

1.2 statement of the problem

Product development is usually a complex situation that requires tactfulness. It is an inbill task for most firms, this is because companies developing products are not even sure of its acceptance or success in the market. Companies or firms that do not consideration seems to be taking some avoidable risks.

such companies may finally see their products falling victim of changing consumer taste and need and at the same time face domestic and foreign competitions. Some of the problem associated to product development tends to have contributed to the inability of cutix 15 adequately handle the process and the problem could be traceable to poor marketing research, poor marketing efforts, inadequate marketing analysis and fragmented marketing of new products at a smaller market segment rate than the mass market.

physical factors as product quality and packaging is part of the problem. For cutix plc nnewi their may dilemma is the identification of which factor among these constitute bottle-neck in their product development. This is one of the challenges of this study.

1.3 purpose of the study

  1. To identify the processes involved before cutix plc could come out with a new product development (idea generation, and ands with commercialization).
  2. To identify the problems militating the various stages of product development with respect to cutix plc nnewi.
  3. To axertain how government policies can influence cutix cables in developing a new product.
  4. To find out how cutix can develop a product that would command market a leader.
  5. To sort out alternative measures, of which if implemented by the marketing department of cutix would lead to innovation of a viable product at the lowest minimum cost.

1.4 significance of the study  

due to the economic condition of the country change in consumer needs and preferences, technological changes and increase in competitions. In the cable industry in nigeria with particular attention to cutix plc, this research becomes paramount and ultmost importance in order to carry out a thoroughly study on the problems and prospects that cable manufacturers encounter in developing a new product. On completion of this work, it recommendations will be made available to cable manufacturer in nigeria.

this in turn would enable the manufacturers to respossition their products in a more attractive way, have a good market share and indeed maintain its position as a product innovation. This result would also enable cutix cable plc in the following ways:-

  1. To achieve sales growth and profit maximizations.

Ii.     Attract positive consumer reactions to its products.

Iii.    To replace the aging in successful products.

Iv.    To smooth out seasonal sales fluctuations.

  1. To explore new opportunities and using excess plant capacity.

1.5 research questions

  1. Does poor market analysis affect the development in the cable industry?
  2. Does poor timing of products introduction affect product development in the nigerian cable industry?
  3. Poor feasibility studies does it affect the development of products?
  4. Does the product satisfying the need of her target market audience?

1.6 hypothesis

  1. Null hypothesis (ho) lack of raw materials does

Not affect new product development in cutix cable plc.

  1. Alternative hypothesis (h1) lack of raw material affects new products development in cutix cable plc.
  2. Null hypothesis (ho) the products of cutix cable plc does not satisfy the need of her target market audience.
  3. Alternative hypothesis (h1) the products of cutix plc satisfies the need of her target market audience.

1.7 scope of the study

the economic and social justification for the existence of business in the ability of the business to meet to the needs of her customers profitably. A firm or company can meet this basic responsibility to the society through constant product development. This research is therefore designed to identify those problems and prospects an organization (cable manufacturers) encounter when developing a product in a developing economy like nigeria, where there is high cost of capital acquisition, frequent changes in consumer behaviours, high cost of electricity, and high cost of labour and manpower.

cutix cable plc nnewi was chosen by the researcher as the base for this study on problems and prospects of product development in the cable industry due to the fact that it was discovered that out of hundred (100) products developed by cutix plc, only forty (40) were able to reach commercialization stage successfully.

the industrial growth of the nation has no scientific approach. The planning in some measures did not analyze the backwardness in the economy. This is noted, as the various government did not provide adequate encouragement to industrial development of nation.

before our economic problems, foreign capital was cheap and the business of importing and selling of finished products was most profitable. These importers generated excess liquidity and invested their funds making in acquisition of landed property. Investment was merely neglected because of tortuous process of establishing in nigeria.

during the boom, therefore most industrial projects were sponsored by multinationals and the governments, small industries were neglected as there were little incentives in manufacturing at low level.

with the introduction of austerity measures and structural adjustment programme (sap) import trade business become more difficult as many commodities were banned or put on license with high import tariff to conserve foreign funds and encourage local manufacturers.

many businessmen therefore, started thinking of industrial ventures to produce their wares locally. Hence, the massive investment on small-scale business.

Chapter one

  • Introduction

Advertising and banking industry (micro finance bank)

Banking are economic decision units that are set up for the provision of financial services and products to targeted market. This service tendered to both public and private sector of the economy includes: collection of deposits, clearing of cheques and other exchange, granting of loans and over drafts guarantee of joint financing by two or more banks foreign exchange transaction, fund transfer and insuring drafts services rendered include safe keeping facility and financial advice to customers.

The operation of micro finance bank initially community bank were perceived to be incorporated for efficient sustainable economy. Micro finance bank help to provide financial assistance and credit to its customers, including formal and informal self – help groups, individuals and association: except public sector deposits from government agencies.

To this end, micro finance bank have to come up with more efficient and effective services for example, full-fledged computerization becomes the order of the day, processing of loans and advances reduction in member of clearing day for clearing instrument.

However, to communicate these services effectively in enhancing profitability the need for advertising in micro finance bank becomes inheritable. Advertising which until this time had little or no significance in the banking industry becomes strong information and persuade tool to reach target customers.

 

  • Background of the study

Advertising is one phrase that has been given different definitions by authors. A critical analysis of all the variable definitions shown that they have something in common.

Talking about the importance and relevance of financial services in every one’s life. This includes ordinary life circle events like, birth, marriage and deaths; it also includes the possibility to invest, to increase our wealth.

Micro finance target people who do not have access to the formal financial sector and are under-banked at the moment. This affects not only their economic activities but also improves their health, education and living circumstances. In the end, the overall objectives are to elevate poverty.

The practice of micro finance is not new and has probably been around for as long as currency itself has.

Chapter   one

1.0  introduction

1.1  background of the study

Role of accountant in economic development of nigeria, it has to do with the role in which accountant plays in the economic development of nigeria.

The concept of economic development has to with innovation and improvement in the quality of life of the people it is about sustained rise in the standard of living of the people overtime, whether in advance or less developed countries, nations, government superiors state of affairs or superiors they currently enjoy.

To achieve this, deliberate efforts are to be made in other to implement people–oriented policies that would raise their capacity to produce and earn more. This will manifest in the form of growth in the cross domestic product (gap) of the economy, and extension improvement in the size of per capital income. When this occurs on a sustain basis with positive impact on the citizens, quality of life. Development is said to have taken place.

Since 1960 when Nigeria gained it independence, for instance the place of economic growth and development has not yet meet the aspiration of founding fathers of the nation in spite of the many development and rolling plans that have been meticulously draw up by the government. Although a lot of resources have been committed to the development of some economic projects, the results have been dismal. In fact, that the Nigeria economy is presently in a quagmire, is enough evidence of the failure of past effort to pull the nations up by its bootstrap through the instrumentality of development and rolling plans.

Thus:- the basic thrust of development policies, in a less developed country like Nigeria is to provide as many people as possible with the means of overcoming the helplessness and misery arising from a lack of food, health, education, security of life and property which pose serious challenges to their longevity.

Here lies the justification for the choice of topic which seeks to consider the role of accountants in the economic development.

Firstly, accountant is a person skilled in keeping, examining, recording or inspecting the accounting of an organization or a nation. Accountants plays a very vital role in the development of Nigeria economy. They also contribute efficiently to the development of some business organization in Nigeria example (Nigeria bottling company). The role of accountants can never be looked down if the aim and purpose of the country are to be achieved.

According to agbebiyi (2000), it is obvious that accounting as a scientific process is about provision of financial information needed to take economic decisions particularly in respect of the acquisition and use of scarce corporate resources as well as the elimination of waste in the wealth creation chain. It is this professional discipline that involves systematic gathering classification, recording analyzing, interpretation and transmission of information based on data that are of monetary in nature. Such resources that is the relationship between its assets and liability, the productive activities and profitability of a business a required by owners and managers alike in order to assess the health of the organization and ascertain the changes in the stock of the wealth of shareholders.

According to professor charles magers, accounting incorporate four major functions which are communication, measurement control and decision making. Accounting as a means of communication involves the submission of financial reports to various units in the economy. In terms of measurement, accountancy through the use of account, arts as a major of wealth based on the original cost of an objective which lately developed in measuring efficiency of operation and performance.

Accounting as a means of control is exercised by the creation of book-keeping record and legislation and by the standing of the professional body to act as an independent witness and carryout and audit function.

As a result of activities, information is communicated on the basis of standardized system of measurement and results which can be relied on when making decision. Government may use published accounting information to know the extent of providing social amenities to the public; they can also use this information in knowing what is due in taxation and government tribute.

This accounting information can equally be used in preparing the country’s budget and determining how to generate income and ways of revenue expenditure. Accounting information, also are required in an economy to meet up with the stated objectives and purpose (making profit or gain) in the economy and it is the duty of an accountant to prove such an accounting information.

Beyond the role of providing information to the public, proprietors even government, the accountant has over time played the following crucial roles in the economic development process of the nation they are record keeping which assisted the merchant in determining the value he has added to his wealth at a given period. Providing financial information, internal control measures, attestation function, and tax functions professional leadership among others.

Furthermore, accountants gives financial report of a nation to ascertain the financial position of such nation, perform some audit function, evaluation of financial reports and finally, recommends measures and strategies to enhance the performance of the economy.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The subject under study is the effect of pricing policy on sales in beverage industry, the principle, of pricing entails that companies be cautious and efficient in setting up price for their product. Price as one of the four Ps of marketing, demand good attention, because it plays a major role in the successful marketing of a company’s product, customers or consumers decide either to buy or not to buy a particular product judging the nature and characteristics of the product and their purchasing power through its price.

Therefore, price of product is the major determinant, of the market demand for such product, price is one of the most powerful weapons that are available for or to a market to beat down competitors. Customers are likely to patronize company’s product whose prices is satisfying and psychologically fair to them. Effective strategy and policy must be adopted in order for the company’s to succeed in its marketing programme so that it will result to an effective implementation of pricing.

Pricing is an area of primary importance in marketing and it is central to the profitable operation of a business, its marketing activities without critically monitoring and controlling it’s pricing system profit can only be made if consumer buy what the company produce, on the other hand consumer will only buy at the price that satisfies them. In the past many firms did not under stand the theory and concept of pricing. This is very peculiar to developing economy especially Nigerian. They merely set prices that suit their purpose and interest without viewing it from customer point to view.

This is because there were no or not enough competitive firms. Many firm have to realize the importance of pricing as one of the most important element that helps to determine the success of any business enterprise.

In managing the pricing of product which is part of company’s marketing mix, management must first of all decide on its pricing goal, policy and strategy about a given product to satisfy consumers, efficient pricing of goods and services which is often a critical factor in successful operation of any business enterprise. Pricing has many definitions as there are many definitions given by some price authors;
– price, is defined by Stanton (1985) as the “”amount of money charged for a product or services.
– Brown and Jalques (1995) sees it as the amount of money which will be accepted in return for legal transfer of a product and services.
– A.D Umar, M. Tanko Y.A. Hashim (2005) described price as the “Values of a product (good and services) expressed in a monetary term”. The above definitions do not consider price or pricing in relation to the physical product alone, this is due to the fact a seller usually price or is pricing the constituent of the physical product severed services as well as it satisfying benefits for instance one model of an automobile may at a stated price included ratio power steering, tinted glass, are condition, metallic door are services of same for another model of the same make these six listed items may be priced separately.
