 INTRODUCTION

Employee training is the process whereby people learn the skills, knowledge, attitude and
behaviors needed in order to perform their job effectively. No big industrial organization can long ignore
the training and development needs of its employees without seriously inhabiting its performance. Even
the most careful selection does not eliminate the need for training, since people are not molded to
specifications and rarely meet the demands of their jobs adequately`

There may be various reasons behind organizing Training and development program for
employee, but the basic reason is to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the employee in order to
achieve the common goal of the organization. Therefore a performance appraisal should point out an
employee’s specific needs for training and development. By identifying deficiencies that adversely
affect performance, human resource and line managers are able to develop Training and development
programs that permit individuals to build on their strengths and minimize their deficiencies.

The term ‘training’ and ‘development’ are closely related but their meanings have important
distinctions. Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a
particular job. It is concerned with imparting specific skills for particular purposes. Where as the term
‘development’ is a broad one. Its aim is to improve the overall personality of an individual. The term is
mostly used in the context of executives only

There should be an appropriate place where the management and the employee representatives meet
each other and discuss on the structure for the training programmes comprising of identification of
needs for the training programmes, framing of objectives for the training programmes, selection of
trainees for the training programmes, scheduling of training programmes also post evaluation. So that
transparency is maintained this would enhance the employee’s satisfaction

Glimpses On The Birth Of Coca-Cola

John Smyth first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca Cola in Atlanta. It was May of 1886

when the pharmacist caramel syrup in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first

“distributed “ the new product carrying Coca-Cola in a jug down the street to Jacobs Pharmacy.

For five cents, consumers could enjoy a glass of Coca-Cola at the Soda Fountain. Whether by

design or accident carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup producing a drink that was

proclaimed “ Delicious” And Refreshing.

Dr. Pemberton partner and bookkeeper frank M Robinson, suggested the name and panned Coca

cola in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide today. Mr. Robinson thought “ the

two C,S would look well in advertising.”

By 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. That first year, Dr Pemberton sold 25

Gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. Red has been a distinctive color associated

with the No-1 soft drink brand ever since. For his effort, Dr Pemberton grossed $5o and spent

$73.96 on advertising.

Page 5
In 1891, Atlanta entrepreneur, Asa G. Candler had acquired complete ownership of the Coca-

Cola business. With in four years, his merchandising flair helped expand consumption of Coca-

Cola every state and territory. In 1919 Coca Cola Company was

sold to group of inventors for $25 million. Robert W.Woodruff became president of the Coca

Cola in 1923, and his more then six decades of leadership took the business to unrivalled heights

of commercial success making Coca Cola an institution the world over.

Soft Drink Market In Present Scenario

The soft drink market all over the world has been witnessing a throat cut battle between two

major players: coca cola &Pepsi, since very beginning. The thirst quenchers are trying hard to

have the major piece of the apple of overall carbonated soft drink market. Both the players are

spending energies in building capacity, infrastructure, promotional activities etc.

Coca cola, being 11 years older than Pepsi, has been dominating the scene in most of the soft

drink market of world and enjoying the leadership in terms of the share.

But the coca cola people are finding it hard to deep away Pepsi, which has been narrowing the

gaps regularly. The two are posing threats for each other in every nook and corner of the world.

While coca cola has been earning most of the part of its red and butter through beverages sales

but Pepsi has a multi product port folio with a handsome portion from the same business.

Page 6
Both the competitors have a distinct vision and properties about the Indian soft drink market.

though having so much difference and distances with each other ,they both consider India a huge

potential market ,as per capita consumption here is a mere three serving annually against the

world average of 80.therefore ,they are putting in their best effort to woe the India consumer who

has to work for 1.5 hour to buy a bottle soft drink in comparison to the international norms of 5

minutes, a major hurdle to cross over for both the athletes or getting no.1 position.

Coca cola is well with its 53 bottling sites throughout the country giving it an edge over

competition by processing a well built and distribution set up. On the other hand , Pepsi, with 2

more years in India , has been able to set an image of winner this time in India and get the pulse

of India soft drink The soft drink giants are Leaving on stone unturned and her for the Long

terms. Coca cola has been penetrating the market through its wide product range with a

determination to change consumption pattern of soft drink in India. Firstly, they upgraded the

whole industry by introducing 300 ml bottles, which in turn had given the industry a booming

growth of 20% as compared to the earlier 5%. They want to develop a Coca culture and are

working on a strategy to offer soft drink in every possible package. In Coca cola cap, the idea of

competition has not come from Pepsi, but from the other beverages such as Tea, Coffee, Nimbu

Pani, and Water etc.

Pepsi is quite aggressive in its approach to Indian consumer. They are desperately working on

the strategy to be winners in the hot cola war between two big banners. According to Pepsi

philosophy, it’s the madness encourages executive to think, to conjure up those creative tactics to

Page 7
knock the fizz out there competition. Pepsi had plumbed a large on the visibility of its blue red

and white logo. They have been going with aggressive marketing by putting Sachin Tendulker,

Akshay Kumar, and now Shahrukh Khan in their advertisement to endorse their brand, the role

models for its targeted consumer the teenagers. They have increased the fizz in the market place

by introducing the dispensers called Fountain Pepsi and has been enjoying a lead over its rival

there.

Coca Cola on the other hand, has been working on the saying ‘slow and steady wins the race’,

side by side retailing to every more of its competitor. They have produced the shield of Thums

Up with a handsome Markey share in Indian soft drink market. Countering Pepsi’s international

commercial that used two chimpanzees to cock a snoop at coke. Thums Up has been positioned

now very near to that young image of Pepsi and giving it a tuff time.

These cool merchants have put every thing on fire .if coke get the status of the official drink of

wills world cup, Pepsi blushed as nothing official about it. as Thums up projected as ‘sare jaha se

accha’, Pepsi was passionate enough with ‘freedom to be’ and now the “yeh dil mange more”.

When Thums up came with thunder blast.

HISTORY OF SOFT DRINKS

Problem at that time was how to cure all these disease, since no remedy was present at that time.

It was a big question for American people. So in 1885 Mr. John Paimwarlion who lives in

Antonica made a drink and registered it as TRENCH WINE COLA. In the beginning this drink

was made with mixture of cocaine and alcohol but later on it is named as COCO-COLA. A new

brand named PEPSI COLA in the year 1887.

 Indian History

Around 1948 the first branded soft drink in the Indian market. This soft drink was named as

Gold Spot. Before Coco-Cola entered the country to dominate the scene in 1950, Parle Exports

Pvt.Ltd. was the first Indian company to introduce a lemon soft drink.This drink was known as

Limca and it was introduced in 1970. However before this they had introduced Cola Pepine

which was withdrawn in face of tough competition from Coca-Cola.

In the year 1977 Coca-Cola left Indian market and this brought in an opportunity for various

Indian companies to show their caliber. At this time a new soft drink was introduced by Parle

products and this was color. This drink was introduced with mighty saying "happy days are here

again". As if happy days went away with Coca-Cola. There was another company named pure

drink, which introduced the soft drink named Campa -Cola along with arrange and lemon

flavours.

Page 10
Just after this many more companies entered the soft drink market. A soft drink name double. I

had been introduced by a company Morden bakers. Another company Mohan meakins also came

up with a Soft drink named Mary & puch up, Mc Dowell came with thrill.,. Push and Sprint.

Previously there was no competition in the Indian soft drink market but with all companies

coming in the Indian market a huge competition was place with college advertisements. But in

the year 1988 Pepsi was given permission to sell its soft drinks in the Indian market by the

Government of Indian. Coca Cola also come back in the year 1993.

 Coca-Cola in India

The Coca-Cola company entered India in early 1950, it setup four bottling plants at Bombay,

Calcutta, Kanpur and Delhi.

In 1950, as were negligible companies in the Indian market therefore Coca-Cola did not faced

much competition and they were accepted in Indian market more easily. The brand was accepted

by all age group. The full credit must go to coca-cola for making soft drinks popular in Indian

by end of 1977.Coca-Cola had captured more than 45% of market share in India Then Coca-Cola

left Indian following public regulations the company was required to Indianise or close

operation come to an end in July 1977.

Page 11
Coca-Cola come back in the year 1993 after liberalization and was launched at Agra with the

slogan "Old wave have come to Indian again". At the time parle was the leader in the soft drink

market and had more than 60% of the total shore in soft drink. Coca-Cola joined hands with

Parle and to enter India after 17 years. By striking a 40 million deal with Parle. Coke almost

made a clear sweep and made its good as " To become all time all occasion drink not a

special treat beverage."

 HISTORY OF COCA COLA COMPANY

In the year of 1990, over one hundred years after the soft drink was invented, the Coca- Cola

company opened up a museum like building which was designed to be a tribute to its famous soft

drink product. It is also said to be a tribute to the countless number of consumers who drink

Coca-Cola. The world of Coca-Cola, as it is called is located in Atlanta, Georgia right amidst the

tourist district. And, its tribute to the soft drink is because it is so popular that it is now served

daily in nearly two hundred countries.

Having the museum located in Atlanta is fitting because long before anyone had ever heard of

Coca-Cola, a doctor by the name of Johan Stythe Pemberton, who was a druggist in Atlanta,

mixed up his own concoction of medicinal syrup in May in the year of 1886, Dr. Pemberton used

Africa.

Kola Nut extracts and coca leaves, which are both strong stimulants, in his potion. The result was

Q thick caramel colored syrup. The purpose of the potion was to be an effective tonic which

would help a person's brain and nerves function better.

True or not, it has been said that a customer came into the pharmacy

one day complaining or a headache. He asked for a glass of Coca-Cola to be made with

Page 18
carbonated water instead of plain water and the carbonated version of the soft drink was the

born.

The first year, in 1886, Dr.Pemberton sold twenty five gallons of his syrup which earned him

total revenue of just fifty dollars. By the next year, because of he is poor health condition,

he began to sell off his company. Five years later, man by the name of Asa G.Candlar, had

acquired total control of the Coca-Cola became a patented product in the United States.

Its popularly would not stay within the United States for long, though, because in the year of

1906, Cola-Cola was bottled in Cuba and in Panama. Bottling operations were soon start ed in

Hawall the next year, then in the Phillipines, France, Belgium, Bermunda, Colombia, the

Honduras, Italy, Mexico, Haiti, and Burma in later years. By the year of 1940, the famous soft

drink was bottled in forty country.

THE BOTTLING SYSTEM

A Revolution in Plastics Recycling

If you ask Peter Anderson, project director of the Plastic Redesign Project (PRP), The Coca-Cola

Company has spurred a revolution in the economics of plastics recycling, with its decision three

years ago to establish a public goal for using recycled content in PET (Polyethylene

Terephthalate) bottles.

The company made the ground-breaking commitment in 2000 to use 10% recycled content in its

plastic bottles by 2005, culminating its years-long work to help commercialise recycling PET

bottles from curb side programs into new bottles.In February 2003, The Coca-Cola Company

received an award from the PRP, as it reached a milestone in that commitment, with 10%

recycled content in 80% of its bottles. During the ceremony, Anderson expressed the industry's

gratitude to the company's commitment, "We cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciate

your bold decision to step up to the plate, following on your decade-long dedication to

technology development with a public commitment."

The PRP is a coalition of local and state recycling officials. It works constructively with

packagers to improve the economics of plastics recycling by designing plastic bottles for

recyclability and by increasing the use of recycled content in plastic bottles.

According to Anderson, the PET recycling system had struggled financially for years. Because

of the size and influence of The Coca-Cola Company, their 2000 commitment jolted the market

and initiated an overall improvement to the industry. He revealed that the company can claim

responsibility for increasing the demand for recycled PET, expanding the size of the RPET

(Recycled PET) bottle market, creating a standard for other beverage companies to follow that

Page 27
should eventually double the impact, and helping to develop technological innovation that is

anticipated to bring down the cost of upgrading technologies, making it less expensive to use

recycled PET.

The PRP and the Coca-Cola Company also plan to work together to encourage bottle designs

that consider their impacts on recycling, in an effort to protect the valuable new end markets for

recycled PET that the company's commitment has created. Receiving the award for outstanding

corporate responsibility on behalf of The Coca-Cola Company were Scott Vitter’s,

Environmental Manager, and Jeffrey Hansen, Packaging Recycling System Manager.

Vitter’s explained that the Coca-Cola system has worked diligently over the past decade to

develop sustainable recycling technologies. "We appreciate the recognition for these efforts and

look forward to continuing to drive new innovation. The company continues ahead of schedule

to meeting its goal.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN

First, a secondary research was conducted, keeping in mind the topic of study, to gain a clear insight
of the topic .For this, I consulted many books, manuals and theories. This helped me in designing
and framing the right kind of questions. The proper design helped in selection of relevant questions
for the study .The following questions was then proposed to be studied, under descriptive research
which helped me in analysis.

SELECTION OF RESPONDENTS

Our respondents had attended the following training programmes.

1. ISO- 9000 awareness programme.

2. Workers Education Programme.

3. Supervisory Development Programme.

We met only those participants who were working either in “ A shift, B, shifts or in “ General” shift. To

meet the participants who were in “C” shift, “B” shift or in “ General” shift. To meet the participants

who were in “ C’ Shift at that time, was not possible for us. (“C Shift” is from 11.30p.m. to 7.30 a.m.)

We took interview of those with whom we could meet at work place. We took 30 interviews from

participants and thereby filled Part -I Schedules. Alongwith which we took interview of D.Os. Internal

Faculties, etc. by filling Part –II Schedules.

Page 59
DESCRIPTIVE METHODS

Tool is an instrument, which is used in all types of work. In this study our tool were two types of

schedules. One schedule was used for the trainees or participants and another one was used for the

Trainers, D.Os etc. As we had to evaluate the training. Just after framing the schedules, Pilot Study was

conducted for the purpose of pre-testing. Then both the schedules were finalized. we separately met

both types of people and before taking interview, rapport was established for effective communication

and coordination.

During the interview, interviewees were observed and I also talked on some out- of –topic matters so

that interview became interest and interviewees showed their interest.

We tried our best for cultivating such feelings among the interviewees that they and their performance

of any such activities were not being questioned and the confidentiality would be secured.

Analytical tools

For the representation of analysis of the research various analytical tools like bar diagrams, pie charts

and line graphs have been used; these analytical tools have really proved to be of great help for the

purpose of study for which % (Percentage) method has also been utilized.

SOURCES OF DATA

Primary source

Primary source of data collection is used under the study, questionnaire were
prepared to conduct the study.

Page 60
 Sample space

conducted from various books, journal, and manuals for conducting primary research.

The information was mainly obtained from three sources.

a. PRIMARY DATA: Informal conversations were the source of information regarding the training

methods already followed and identification of the training needs of the workers.

outstanding and they are benefited more.

Page 64
Clarity:

 FINDINGS & ANALYSIS

The Quality of Work Life of the workmen is analyzed on the basis of various parameters

concerning monetary benefits, health and safety, welfare facilities, management worker

relationship, work environment and growth and development opportunities. The analysis reveals

satisfaction among a majority of 50.87 % of the workers, somewhat satisfactory response from

15.1% of the workers and not satisfactory response from 29.34% of the workers. The remaining

4.69% of the respondents were not sure about their responses.

Hence we can conclude that the overall Quality of Work Life of the workmen in the

Coca Cola Dasna plant is satisfactory.

It has been seen that pay and benefits has been rated as the most important need by as many as

40% of the workers. Also an analysis of the responses relating to the factors that contribute the

most towards improvement of the workers performance reveals highest preference for pay and

benefits by as many as 32.5% of the workers.

This correlation of pay and benefits as being the most important need and its highest

contribution for improvement of the workers performance clearly indicates that pay and benefits

are an important motivational factor for the workers.

However analysis on the satisfaction level of the workers with regards to monetary benefits

indicates high level of dissatisfaction among the workers with negative response from as many as

40% of the workers.

Page 73
Pay and benefits being identified as the major performance booster, there was a need to identify

the basis on which pay and benefits should be given to the workers.

Responses sought on the factor to which pay and benefits should be linked revealed that as

many as 42.5% of the workers wanted pay and benefits to be linked to individual’s performance.

However an analysis of the respondents feedback to how far pay is linked with performance

revealed dissatisfaction among a majority of 67.5% of the workers which indicated that there is

hardly any practice of linking pay of the workers with performance in Coca Cola Company.

Other important factors identified for improvement of the workers performance is the amount

of responsibility that is being assigned to the workers and timely feedback on performance. As

many as 30% of the workers responded positively to amount of responsibility assigned to them

and 25% to timely feedback on performance as the most important factor that improves

performance. Hence we can conclude that amount of responsibility and feedback on performance

also acts as important motivational factors.

The welfare facility which is identified as the most important source of motivation for the

workers is the education facility provided to the workers and their wards. As many as 60% of the

workers felt the need for education facility in the form of reimbursement of tuition fees or

scholarships to deserving students. However there was high criticism by as many as 75% of the

workers about the education facility provided to them by Coca Cola Company.

 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

It is a brief conducted during short span of time. In order to know the depth one requires a lot of

information, money and involvement of manpower. As is the case with every research effort, this study

also leaves a lot of room for further improvements. The major Limitations of this study are given below.

 Due to non- corporate nature of some of the organizations, project could not be undertaken at the

external level.

 Biases in the responses cannot be ruled out as the questionnaires were only filled by the managers

and workers of the sample taken.

 Sudden changes in the programme of some of the participants at the time of interviews led to the

problem in getting data.
