An overview

NRDC, was established in 1953 as a Govt. of India enterprise and is presently working under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology with the objective to develop, promote and transfer of technologies emanating from various national R& D institutions. The Corporation has been offering the services from its head office in New Delhi and branch office at Bangalore in improving the manufacturing base in India with innovative technologies and acting as an effective catalyst translating innovative research into marketable industrial products. During the past five decade of its operations, the Corporation has forged strong links with various R & D organisations in the country as well as from abroad. The Corporation is now recognised as a large repository of wide range of technologies spread over almost all areas of industries, viz. Chemicals including Pesticides, Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, Bio-Technology, Metallurgy, Electrical & Electronics, Instrumentation, Building Materials, Mechanical, Agriculture and Food, Industrial Machines etc. 

History

The NRDC was established by Attlee's Labour government in 1948 to meet a

perceived need at the time to exploit the many products that had been developed

during World War II by the Defence Research Establishments. The first managing

director was Lord Giffard.

The first commercial size hovercraft, the SR-N1, was built under a contract let by the

NRDC toSaunders-Roe in 1958.

In 1981, the NRDC was combined with the National Enterprise Board ('NEB') to form

the British Technology Group ('BTG').

Operation-

Typically the NRDC would patent the product for commercial exploitation and earn

royalties as private sector companies generated sales from those products.

Examples of such products include carbon fibre, asbestos-plastic composites and

developments insemi-conductor technology.

WHY APPLIED OPERATIONS RESEARCH?

Research is often associated with test tubes; Bunsen burners, white lab-coats and Einstein-like characters writing complex formulas that can often intimidate or scare individuals. - But put in a simple way, Operations Research is the thorough process of studying and analysing factors surrounding a defined business problem in order to solve it.

Introduction:-

MARKET RESEARCH:-

In a world economy that is in constant flux and undergoing turbulence, more companies are

realizing that their most precious asset is their customer base. An even more important

realization is the need to satisfy the whims and fancies of these customers in order to survive

in these increasingly competitive markets. Organizations that do not act on this dictum have

suffered the loss of market share or worse, total annihilation. Such dire consequences have

awakened many organizations to rethink the way they see marketing. Thus, there is urgency

for an organization (be it products or service providers) as a whole to develop appropriate

holistic customer-focused strategies to ensure that the customer remains at the core of their

organizational thinking.

With the rapid advancement of information technology (especially the rise of the Web) and

the increasing difficulties of meeting customer’s needs and wants (for example, their

expectations of 24 / 7 customer service especially for online transactions), there is a shift

from a traditional marketing approach to customer targeted marketing. Many organizations

and marketing consultants are emphasizing the need to allocate more funds to apply new-

found knowledge of consumer behavior in new products development, build better customer

relationships through customer loyalty and retention programs.

Overview:-

Present in India since 1992, McKinsey's Mumbai, Gurgaon, Chennai, Bangalore and Trivandrum offices represent the Firm in India. With over 2462 consulting and non–consulting staff, it is one of the fastest growing offices of McKinsey worldwide. In addition, we have a distinguished network of 467 alumni across industries.

McKinsey is dedicated to achieving impact by tackling issues concerning strategy, operations, organisation, technology, finance, healthcare, urbanisation and infrastructure. We work with a range of organisations – mid–size to large private enterprises, state–owned companies and large, well established multinationals. We create sustainable impact by helping Indian companies become global leaders and by facilitating the success of multinationals in India. Through our work with the public sector, emerging sectors and not–for–profit organisations, we have played an active role in the country's transformation and development.

We have also had the privilege of doing public policy work, which has allowed us to contribute to the socio–economic development of India.

McKinsey is a community of extraordinarily talented and driven people. We strive to hire the finest talent: individuals with promising leadership potential, sharp analytical skills, creativity and strong character. We provide the best possible support to the people we hire to help them fulfill their aspirations for professional and personal growth and to enable them to become global leaders.

Services:-

Transforming public health in India:

The need has long been felt given the serious public health challenges facing India: rising disease rates; the resurgence of communicable and non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cancer; and the emergence of other health burdens like injuries from accidents.

The Foundation's charter includes:

Establishing five to seven new institutes of public health. Assisting existing institutes to enhance their capacity and output. Promoting research in prioritised areas of public health to inform policy and empower

programmes. Facilitating policy development, programme evaluation, and advocacy on public

health related issues. Enabling the development of standards and adoption of a credible accreditation

system for public health courses.

Building the Indian School of Business (ISB):McKinsey supported a unique project to establish a business school in India. The idea was conceived in 1996, and the Indian School of Business was born in July 2001.

The team played a key role in taking the idea from conception to reality: (i) assisting the executive board of the ISB in conceptualising the idea, (ii) working to garner support from the industry and academicians, (iii) supporting the fund raising efforts, (iv) selecting a location, (v) building a world-class business school, and (vi) entering into partnerships with leading schools in the U.S. and Europe.

Vision Mumbai:-

The study suggested that Mumbai needed $40 billion in investments over the next 10 years for its transformation. More importantly, it laid out a blueprint that comprised of an eight-pronged program to transform Mumbai into a world-class city. These are:

1. Boost economic growth to 8 - 10 percent per annum by focusing on services ( high- and low-end), developing countryside-based manufacturing, and making Mumbai a consumption center.

2. Improve and expand mass and private transport infrastructure, including linkages to the countryside.

3. Dramatically increase low-income housing availability and affordability, and improve housing stock.

4. Upgrade safety, air and water pollution control, sanitation, education, and health care.

5. Create a dedicated "Mumbai Infrastructure Fund" with an annual funding of around US $ 300 million and attract debt and private financing.

6. Make governance more effective, efficient, and responsive by making key departments operate like corporations and streamlining important processes such as building approvals.

7. Generate momentum through quick wins: focus on some quick "on the ground" implementation that will be visible in a period of 1-2 years.

8. Enable implementation through committed public-private resources and make key government organisations accountable for results.

The report, Vision Mumbai, played an important role in influencing policy makers both at the central and state levels to recognise and address the immediate need for urban renewal in the city. Taking off from the recommendations, the government of Maharashtra has established an Empowered Committee chaired by the Chief Secretary and Citizen Action Group to drive key projects like the Mumbai Metro and the Mumbai Trans Harbor Link. The recommendations made by Vision Mumbai also served as a useful basis to seek funding of over US $1 billion from the government of India for the transformation of Mumbai under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.

11. Marketing Research and Analytical Consulting

everything it does. Service and caring are the foundations of employee teamwork, employee retention, quality assurance, and long-term relationships with client companies

Innovation Imperative

An organization's ability to survive is defined by its capacity to innovate. Companies must continuously adapt to changing markets, changing technologies, and changing consumer habits and preferences. That's where we can help. Innovation is what we do.

More Than New Products

Innovation is more than just coming up with ideas for new products. We help companies apply the creativity process to improve their marketing, including:

New service concepts New branding strategies New customer experiences New brand names New positioning concepts New promotion ideas New packaging ideas New display and point-of-sale ideas

Consumer-Led Innovation

The process begins by involving individuals who are exceptionally creative. The Imaginators®, Decision Analyst's online consumer creativity panel, is comprised of everyday people who have been tested for high levels of "idea-centric creativity"—the ability to generate large numbers of highly original ideas for new products and services. To date, more than 220,000 people have been tested using our proprietary testing system. Each panelist ranks in the top 4% of the general population in terms of idea-centric creative abilities. As a result, the Imaginators' ideas are truly unique and often breakthrough in nature.

Idea-centric creativity can be identified among nonconsumer groups as well. To date, nearly 75,000 business and trade professionals have been evaluated for idea-centric creativity.

Ideation Sessions

The typical focus group setting—ten chairs arranged around a long table—is excellent for gathering respondents' opinions and reactions, but it is not the right environment for innovation. Innovation flourishes in an environment that stimulates the brain's right side.

That's why our ideation sessions involve creativity exercises, games, associations, unstructured environments (no tables or chairs), spider mapping, guided visualization, and a variety of proprietary techniques developed by Decision Analyst, including "Zoom Out" and "A Picture Is Worth ...Lots."

Innovation Isn't Instantaneous

Often the most creative ideas take a while to surface, or they develop as a result of several smaller ideas coming together. The more time participants have to think about a problem and build on the ideas put forward by others, the more likely it is that the end results will be truly unique and innovative. Innovation sessions are conducted over relatively long periods of time. In-person sessions last six to eight hours, while an online session can extend over a period of ten business days.

Idea Generation Structure

Decision Analyst's approach to innovation is a bit different; we use a systemized, creative, problem-solving model based on Socratic inquiry. Our sessions follow a proprietary creativity guide that is objective- and exercise-oriented rather than discussion-oriented. This guide provides the subtle structure that is critical to generating highly unique ideas and suggestions.

Usage & Attitude Studies

An Overview:-

The European Society for Opinion and Market Research (ESOMAR) is the world

association for market, social and opinion researchers.

Founded in 1948, ESOMAR began as a regional association within Europe. Currently, with

more than 4900 members in over 130 countries, ESOMAR’s global membership brings

together professionals in market and opinion research, marketing, advertising, business,

public affairs and media from across the world.

Knowledge & Standards:-Maintaining consumer trust is integral to effective market, social and opinion research.

ESOMAR through its codes and guidelines promotes the highest ethical and professional

standards for researchers around the world.

14. ESOMAR

The ICC/ESOMAR Code on Market and Social Research, which was developed jointly with

the International Chamber of Commerce, sets out global guidelines for self-regulation for

researchers and has been undersigned by all ESOMAR members and adopted or endorsed by

more than 60 national market research associations worldwide.

In addition to the ICC/ESOMAR Code, the ESOMAR Professional Standards team also

produces and promotes industry guidelines to assist researchers in addressing the legal,

ethical, and practical considerations in fast developing areas such as online, mobile and social

media research.

The Professional Standards team also manages the disciplinary procedures regarding

complaints about members.

Research Associations:-

ESOMAR cooperates with national and regional research associations worldwide, to encourage, advance and elevate the cause of market research. At every possible opportunity, ESOMAR strives to collaborate with local and regional associations to promote the continued use of market, social and opinion research as an effective management decision-making tool in the public and private sectors. ESOMAR believes that the strength, local expertise and presence of National associations, combined with ESOMAR’s facility to compare, contrast and reinforce global best practices, provides an unbeatable means to strengthen and unify the entire market research industry. In this way, our industry can speak with one, consistent voice across the globe.

Associations from:-

Search for local, national, regional or international associations, or narrow down your search for associations that apply the ICC/ESOMAR Code:

By adopting the ICC/ESOMAR Code associations state that they apply self regulation according to the same rules as the Code.

By endorsing the ICC/ESOMAR Code associations state that they apply their national code which is similar and at least as restrictive as the Code.

Research resources:-This section contains a broad range of useful information for researchers, and those interested

in market research, who are looking for reference materials that can help them in their

everyday activities.

It includes a glossary of market research terms as well as ESOMAR’s 28 Questions to Help

Research Buyers of Online Samples - to help researchers ensure that what what they receive

from an online sample provider meets their expectations and ESOMAR's new 24 Questions

to Help Buyers of Social Media Research. It also includes Practical Guides to assist

researchers in deciding when and how to use certain techniques.
