ORGANIZATION PROFILE
1.1 History
The origin of Ashok Leyland, a Hinduja group company can be traced to the urge
for self–reliance, felt by independent India. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first
Prime Minister persuaded Raghunandan Saran, an industrialist, to enter
automotive manufacture. In 1948, Ashok Motors was set up in what was then
Madras, for the assembly of Austin Cars. The Company's destiny and name
changed soon with equity participation by British Leyland and Ashok Leyland
commenced manufacture of commercial vehicles in 1955.
Since then Ashok Leyland has been a major presence in India's commercial
vehicle industry with a tradition of technological leadership, achieved through
tie–ups with international technology leaders and through vigorous in–house
R&D. Access to international technology enabled the Company to set a tradition
to be first with technology. Be it full air brakes, power steering or rear engine
busses, Ashok Leyland pioneered all these concepts. Responding to the operating
conditions and practices in the country, the Company made its vehicles strong,
over–engineering them with extra metallic muscles. 'Designing durable products
that make economic sense to the consumer, using appropriate technology', became
the design philosophy of the Company, which in turn has moulded consumer
attitudes and the brand personality.

cities in India. Ashok Leyland vehicles have built a reputation for reliability and
ruggedness.
In the populous Indian metros, four out of the five State Transport Undertaking
(STU) buses come from Ashok Leyland. Some of them like the double–decker
and vestibule buses are unique models from Ashok Leyland, tailor–made for
high–density routes.
In 1987, the overseas holding by Land Rover Leyland International Holdings
Limited (LRLIH) was taken over by a joint venture between the Hinduja Group,
the Non–Resident Indian transnational group and IVECO. (Since July 2006, the
Hinduja Group is 100% holder of LRLIH). The blueprint prepared for the future
reflected the global ambitions of the company, captured in four words: Global
Standards, Global Markets. This was at a time when liberalization and
globalization were not yet in the air. Ashok Leyland embarked on a major product
and process up gradation to match world–class standards of technology.
For over five decades, Ashok Leyland has been the technology leader in India's
commercial vehicle industry, molding the country's commercial vehicle profile by
introducing technologies and product ideas that have gone on to become industry
norms. From 18 seater to 82 seater double–decker buses, from 7.5 tonne to 49
tonne in haulage vehicles, from numerous special application vehicles to diesel
engines for industrial, marine and genset applications, Ashok Leyland offers a
wide range of products. Eight out of ten metro state transport buses in India are
from Ashok Leyland. With over 60 million passengers a day, Ashok Leyland
buses carry more people than the entire Indian rail network.

1.9 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
9
The typically hierarchical arrangement of lines of authority, communications,
rights and duties of an organization. Organizational structure determines how the
roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated, and
how information flows between the different levels of the management
A company such as Proctor & Gamble that sells multiple products may organize
their structure so that groups are divided according to each product and depending
on upon geographical area as well.
The chief executive is regarded as a main head of the organization under which
director and General Manager falls. Under GM various department head fall
through. The HR Department, Account/finance Department, Sales/marketing
Department, Service Department and Parts Department lies where all department
head are responsible for each departments. An organizational chart illustrates the
organizational structure of LT Enterprises

toward organization's goals. In times of high uncertainty, greater organizational
effectiveness is achieved through high differentiation couple with high integration.
Most organizations are designed, or evolve, to have elements of both hierarchy and
more flexible, organic structures within. (Organic structures are more informal, less
complex and more "ad-hoc" than hierarchical structures. They rely on people within
the organization using their initiative to change the way they work as circumstances
change.)
Before looking at some of the common types of organization structure, its worth
looking at what characterizes a hierarchical structure and how it contrasts with an
organic structure. It's worth saying that one type of structure is not intrinsically
better than another. Rather, it's important to make sure that the organization design is
fit for organization's purpose and for the people within it. And the section on Making
Organization Design Decisions below discusses this in more detail.

duplicated. For example, each division may have a separate marketing function,
and so risk being inefficient in its marketing efforts.
More organic structures include: simple, flat structures, matrix organizations and
network structures:

JOB PROFILE AND ACTIVITIES PERFORMED
Marketing Department
Customer Service Department
Account & finance Department
At the end of my internship period I also get the chance to know some knowledge
regarding marketing of laboratory service. I as an intern was assigned to do a
marketing of laboratory services. I have to visit the different pathology lab,
doctors, medical clinic, hospitals & many more to make the aware about the
medical test available at NRL. The staffs of marketing department and intern
jointly performed the task through newspaper ad, radio ad, word of mouth and
leaflets.
17
From the marketing department, intern got ideas about:-
Niche marketing.
Brand building techniques.
Focusing on our target customers.
Ways to retain our valuable clients.
Providing excellent service to spread a word of mouth.
Developing a market strategy to be the best.
Product demonstration
Test drive
Offers and plans
During this period I found that people are so much conscious about the
investment on their vehicle & I also found that so many people are visited LT/
Ashok Leyland office for their queries and comparing the product with other
competitive product and features and other plans and offers.
18
2.1.3 Account & Finance Department
This department is crucial part for making the rotation of day to day business
activities. Each and every organization is running with the profit motives thoughts
so, for making the day to day transaction more clear there is in need of this
department. Accounting department is responsible for recording & reporting the
cash flow both in and out of a company. This department is responsible for doing
the following activities.
Various problems arise in the organization and problem should be solved. During
my intern period various kind of complex problem arose. Complex problem were
solved by the respective staffs. Problems inherently come at any stage of the
business. Solving such problem need close supervision of the causes, problem
inventory analysis, brainstorming and team effort. Sometimes it takes less time
and effort to solve a problem while some problems take longer time span. Nature
and character of the problem seeks the requirement of human resources need to
solve that problem. As an intern I have encountered with so many problem during
19
training session. Each and every problem solving activities helps me to take
valuable knowledge about the way that organization performs. The key problem
solving activities are:
To solve the quires of the customer related to vehicle about to which mechanic to
be shown for better repair and maintenance.
Searching the required past details of the vehicle / customer, bills and other
related information whenever needed.
20
aspects learnt and observed in the organization. The major gaps felts during the
internship are:
CHAPTER III
LESSON LEARNT AND FEEDBACK
21
3.1 Lesson Learnt
During internship and preparation of this report, there were lots of cases to be
learnt, lived and solved. Among different functional and administrative things,
some of the valuable lessons learnt during internship were:
Patience
A sales manager needs to be extremely patient. You just can’t afford to be rude to
your customers. Clients do need time to believe in you and trust your products. So
as a trainee I got to know patience is the key skilled to be owned.
Good Communicator
As Trainee- sales I have to interact with different customer and clients with
having various backgrounds. This has given me to chance to learn how to address
customers with different needs. pitch and tone of a sales professional is a key
term to influence the customer so this period help me to a good communicator.
People Oriented
During the trainee phase I got It is essential for a sales manager to be customer
centric. Understand customer’s needs and expectations. Don’t simply impose
things on him. Individuals representing the sales vertical need to be caring and
kind towards customers.
Go-Getter Attitude
22
It pays to be optimistic in sales. Sales professionals need to have a go-getter
attitude for the best results which I got from mine intern period. It is really not
necessary that all customers would like or need your product. Don’t expect results
every time. Remember failures are the stepping stones to success. One must learn
from his previous mistakes and move on. Don’t take failures to heart.
Value Time
People in sales must value time. Being late for meetings create a wrong
impression in the minds of customers. It is a sin to make customers waiting unless
and until there is an emergency. Start a little early and make sure you reach
meetings on time. So as a trainee a got a chance to know the value of time.
Sense of Commitment
During trainee phase I got to know about the sense of commitment. In this sector
commitment plays a vital role A sales representative who is committed towards
his work manages to do well and make his mark as compared to others.
Commitment in fact is essential in all areas of work. If you have promised
someone to meet at 5pm, make sure you are there at the desired venue at 4.45 pm
sharp. Trust is lost when commitments are taken back. There should be no turning
back. So sense of commitment is other skill I have learnt in the process.
Flexible
A sales professional must know how to change his sales pitch as per the client.
Don’t just stick to one plan or one idea. Learn to take quick decisions as per the
situation. Be adaptable to changes. People in sales should not be too rigid and
demanding.
Be Transparent
23
Don’t hide things from the customers. Transparency is essential to avoid problems
later on. Convey only what your product offers.
Interpersonal skills
.During the internship, I was able to improve myself and able to interact with
people. Not only this I was able to learn self-management and accountability
skills.
Diligent
Mere sitting at office does not help in sales. One needs to go out, meet people and
make prospective clients. A sales professional ideally should spend his maximum
time in field to achieve targets in the best possible way. so during my tenure I got
to know to be good sales officers we should be diligent.
25
3.4 Feedback to the college
For the success of the internship as well as report writing the college has to play
significant role. Our college Pokhara College of Management through the help of
college administration and teachers provide the valuable support and suggestion
during the period of internship and report writing. However there are certain
recommendations to the college:
The students must provide training about accounting software during these three
years period so that they can have easiness to learn in practical during internship
period.
University being a superior body can have contacts with the company in advance
so that company can plan the assignments of the interns accordingly.
The major objective of the internship as formulated by the university needs to be
properly conveyed to the students. If students are clear about the goals and
objectives then they can be clear and precise about what they want to gain from
the internship experience.
The college could conduct the idea sharing classes after the intern program. The
university could conduct incorporate internship program with longer time period.
Internship program is done when students are in seventh trimester which gives
them extra pressure. It would be better if the college separates appropriate time
for internship program.
