General acceptance of the model within the co for the sales and marketing workforce dur yo expansion of their roles and responsibilities. Acceptance of the new model by existing dealers as they were unaware with the advantage and philosophy of the concept .

Chaya's point is right. Steel was considered as commodity and not much branded effort was done earlier.

Anxieties-
1) The challenge for JSW was in meeting the dealers expectations relating to supply and serviceability.
that no other business-to-business
product likely had as many varieties as steel. Having raised the bar, the challenge for JSW was in meeting
dealers’ expectations relating to supply and serviceability. To ensure a cost-effective and steady supply of
material.

2) The sales and distribution department as one wing of the company
would be under greater focus and pressure and this could necessitate the hiving off of the department into a
strategic business unit.
The sales and distribution department — as one wing of the company —
would be under greater focus and pressure and this could necessitate the hiving off of the department into a
strategic business unit. While such moves offered great opportunities both for the individual as well as the
organization.

3) With major players such as Tata Steel (‘steeljunction’) and Essar (Hypermart) joining the race to open
retail outlets on similar lines, the dynamics of steel manufacturing and distribution would change
dramatically.

ISSUES -
1) They needed to obtain general acceptance within the company i.e of the sales and marketing workforce.

2) To obtain dealers acceptance of the model.
Designing a sophisticated ordering process for the shoppes to ensure a steady supply of material, branding of supply chain negotiating cost and revenue sharing models with dealers.

From the case study it can be seen that the general acceptance of the model by existing dealers can be seen as they were unaware about the philosophy and advantage of the concepts. the main steel was considered as the commodity and there was no much efforts done earlier to increase the brand.

Lack of awareness of the new model which created an imbalance in the minds of the dealers. The Company failed to prioritize or convey the advantages and disadvantages for the same and had a traditional approach.

There should have been branding for effective supply chain management and proper balance between dealer and shopee distribution supply.

General acceptance of the existing model was on, they never thought of any innovative alternative which help them in procuring eadily also

Branding doesn't depend only on steel they can use some other innovative methods like alloy of steel with same characteristics can be used

All the dealers should be made aware of already existing models, the procurement process should be improved

Service's should be improved so that the long run customer relationship is maintained

The staff should be trained regularly

They should hav a separate team for Branding, marketing, customer relationship, training

acceptance of the model.Other challenges involved in this transition included designing ar challenge a sophisticated ordering processfor the Shoppes to ensure a steady supply of material, branding the supply chain, negotiating acost- and revenue sharing model with the dealers and designing the floor layouts andstandardized elements for the Shoppe

Suggestions

JSW need to implement system in place to measure the performance of thedealers, and therefore no basis upon which to determine their incentives.




JSW need to make proper balance between dealer distribution supply and Shoppe distribution supply.



Because of their core competitor somewhere JSW are failed to establish itshub-and-spoke model. If they want to escaped there self for the inorganic growth,they need to ensure a cost-effective and steady supply of material, the companywas contemplating a hub-and-spoke distribution model by opening largewarehouses across the country. The sales and distribution department
.

JSW needs to establish lithe hub-and-spoke model for the inorganic growthof steel industry.

Jindal has established the retail chain where they cancelled the middle man to improve the sales.

They need an exclusive distributor system to reach their product all over the world and even in remote areas.

Company need to lie up with the big industry to establish the long-lasting tie-up.

They need to have their own outlets so that their architecture is centralized.

ISSUES and CHALLENGES
* They needed to obtain the general acceptance within the company,i.e of the sales and marketing workforce.

* The second issue was to obtain dealers’ acceptance of the model. Mahendra proposed that an intensive training program could be introduced to sensitize the dealers on the philosophy and advantages of this model and train them on the usage of the software being introduced.

* The challenges involved in this transition included for the Shoppes to ensure a steady supply of material, branding the supply chain, negotiating a cost- and revenue.

* To resolve these problems, marketing
efforts would have to be launched to generate awareness among the target audience, and the executives had to be trained to execute this concept effectively as conceived by the Shoppe team and a standardized product portfolio for all Shoppes had to be designed.

* They tried to understand the issues from the perspective of the different stakeholders.

* The challenge for JSW was in meeting
dealers’ expectations relating to supply and serviceability.

* To ensure a cost-effective and steady supply of material, the company was contemplating a hub-and-spoke distribution model by opening large
warehouses across the country

ANXIETIES
* Mahendra’s office gave him a view of the Mumbai skyline. He was watching the setting sun while sipping
his coffee.

* The two phases of the Shoppe plan had successfully come to an end and his team
was geared up for the implementation of the third.

* His eyes fell on a newspaper report on the changing business dynamics of the Indian steel industry.

The model that the company were using from this the dealer network found that the JSW is not well known brand to end useres into the market so this model is not useful
The TATA steel and Essar steel had de coomoditized their steel through Branding.
As per the marginal cost analysis he found that he collaboration with dealer more efficient than directly venture into the market.
The dealer was dependen on steelo companies due to limited manufacturing.
Dealers were fcussed for selling one variety of the stel product.
Less supply of stel from manufacturer to dealer created the problem for their existence.
Non availability of Management information sysytem for measuring the dealres sales and performance.
