INTRODUCTION
Cadburys success lies in their management .They use different type of management in order to
get best out of their labor and achieve goals successfully.As per Christopher and
Sumantra,”Todays operating environment in many worldwide businesses demands more than
efficient central management and flexible operations”.Cadburys organizational style lies between
hierarchical and flat structure but more of democratic .They does not have many layers in flat
structure.So decision making is very fast and clear. In hierarchical ,decisions are made from top
and passed on to the lower staff.According to cadburys,” instructions from manager are passed
on to the clerical support assistants”.Below they are disussed in detail :
Autocratic management
Democratic management
Consultative management
Paternalistic management
a) AUTOCRATIC MANAGEMENT:
In this management decision is made by bureaucratic or a manager without consulting any
subordinates.Decision making is fast because no other staff is involved to give new ideas or
suggestions and well managed business is an outcome .As per Peter (2006),”Oxford english
dictionary call Autocracy as absolute government by one person”.Centralization management is
their trait in this .They control the rights and duties of other divisions and departments.Figure 2
shows autocratic style of management :
Managing Director
Manager
Staff
Staff
Staff
Staff
b) DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT:
In democratic, staff work in a team.Workers give different idea and suggestions .This
management is beneficial for cadburys because it helps them to get more from their workers by
motivating them.Emloyees manufacture but work in this management is bit slow in comparison
to autocratic because time is wasted in collecting idea. ISSUES AND CONCERN:
Though being a giant organization in confectionery market and well know- how of their vision,
mission and strategy, Cadburys faced numerous problems as well.
Problems Of Past:
They went through a problem in there HR department because of unskilled employees,
competition from externals and workers turnover percent was rising, but somehow Cadburys
dealt with this problem by giving them incentives, pay leaves and benefits. Their staffs idea and
suggestions were also listened in order to make them feel that they are a family.
Cadburys entry into French market was another big problem due to behavior of French consumer
.According to BBC news (March, 2000) Cadbury asked Kraft to take over there French gums
and sweets products in order to gain French market. As per chief executive John Sunderland,
“Kraft’s foods give us entry into French sweets and gums market “.
Cadburys journey from 1824 till date showed a number of ups and downs, today it is world’s
number one chocolate producing company. After gaining good profit and image their products
reached a maturity level but before their product show decline in a graph they introduced
Cadburys celebration pack and bandhan (Indian market) in order to again get a growth stage.
TIME
CURRENT PROBLEMS:
The working class want and hunger makes them keep working hard for a better life. Over 200
years’ machines replacing men and still growing. Cadburys employ more than 46,000 workers
all over the globe. Each Cadburys factories have one HR in order to provide training, incentives
and to solve staffs grievances. But recently Cadburys replaced their workers by effective
machines which lead to unemployment .Poverty, pauperism and misery increased all over.HR
also facing problem in finding skilled labor which led to skill-gap. Even competition from other
organization creates a shortage of skilled workforce.
As per Margaret Heffernan in March 2010, trust is the driving force for everything, two months
back when negotiation was going on between Cadburys and Kraft then Kraft promised that they
won’t close Cadburys production unit having 400 workforces. But after a takeover, Kraft broke
their promise which leads to protest from Cadburys staff all over UK”. In spite of facing
opposition during acquisition, Kraft failed to gain confidence in consumer’s eye and declined in
reputation. Kraft’s forget to give importance to the culture .To overcome this complication Kraft
should gain trust and respect by breaking no more promise otherwise this will leads to failure of
Kraft’s business in UK.
Apart from this, Cadburys started facing problem in terms of health problem. People are more
towards eating healthy snacks. Obesity in kids and trend towards the healthy life, creating a
problem in the industry.
Figure 10: Obese Children (Estimated) Number of children between 2-15 (“000″s)
Previously all snacks were asked to carry clear warnings of calories on their packaging .As per
David Hinchliffe (MP, Chairman, Health Select Committee), reported by BBC news (27
November,2003) that “consumer should know, how much they have to burn after intake of so
much calories”. RECOMMENDATION OF ACTION:
Management:
Building relationship with Cadburys
Kraft acquired Cadburys under crucial conditions .Further; closed down of Cadburys production
unit leads them to face more criticism. To cope up with this problem, their management should
act as a corporate .They should know about a culture of the alien country .Where, how and what
they want should be clear to them .As per Robert J.Aiello and Michael D.Watkins, reported in
Harvard business review (November-December 2000),”That most of M & A fail due to corporate
manager’s behavior, they are quick in everything, they want to buy this company then they start
searching what it’s worth, offer less and see what they can get it”. There should be a strong team
who are responsible for taking decision and responsible for explaining others about the issues
and progress. According to Ronald and Suzanne, “successful companies have an integrating
manager which is temporary in some and their job is to show a way out of critical situation”.
Whenever there is any problem or another critical situation in Kraft’s future they should be ready
with their special integrating managers .He is a personnel who is having a world class
experience, having good management skills and deep knowledge of a company. They make a
structure and become a social communication between the two companies.
As per Jerry E.,” Labor intensive techniques should be appreciated due to less cost in production
(cheap labor). And in many industries, labor is plentiful in accordance to the capital. For
underdeveloped countries, labor force is the main force for the production”. Company before
replacing labor force should look for the cost of labor and machines. It won’t be worthwhile if a
little inclusion of labor will cost less. Cadburys replaced labor but numerous labors are needed in
order to build machines .It’s not that machinery replaced labor it’s the organization, otherwise
labor and machinery can be made to work together effectively .As per Michael,”factory workers
are more efficient than homeworker because of more wide use of machinery. But slow worker
can be made efficient and wages increased without new machinery’s. Cadburys can skilled labor
by increasing wages “.
Health Issue:
Dietary and Sugar Free Products
In 2004, World Health Organization reported that obesity touched a peak point on global
level.Dietary product showed a tremendous growth. There are few chocolate companies who
have launched dietary products like Whey chocolate company (source-
www.wheychocolate.com ) -“The biggest breakthrough in chocolate innovation! Your taste buds
won’t know the difference, but your body will”.
Source: www.wheychocolate.com
It is clear that Cadburys need an innovation otherwise there product life cycle is near to the end.
Cadburys have an opportunity that it is already known all over ,once they introduce fat free and
sugar free products it won’t take them long to capture the market.
As trend is shifting towards more of cereals intake, Cadburys should also introduce there
breakfast product line, in order to wipe them or share part of their profit.
As per Mintel report, Kellogg’s lead two markets, manufacturing and retail share markets.
However there is a decline in some sector of cereals as well but it’s not in worst condition
though. There are two sector s, children and adult sector which are still growing up. Especially in
UK, there is upward trend. And if Cadburys enter into cereals they should be careful about the
market. Cadburys should have a strong management and good strategy to overcome them.
By 1842 John was selling 11 kinds of cocoa and 16 kinds of drinking chocolate.
Soon
John’s brother Benjamin joined the company to form CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Brothers
of Birmingham. The CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” brothers opened an office in London and
received a Royal Warrant (one of many) as manufacturers of chocolate and
cocoa to Queen Victoria in 1854. Six years later the brothers dissolved their
partnership because of John’s failing health and the death of his wife.
They left the business to John's sons George and Richard. John devoted
the rest of his life to social work and died in 1889. George and Richard
continued to expand the product line, and by 1864, they were pulling a profit.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”’s Cocoa Essence, which was advertised as "absolutely pure and
therefore best," was an all-natural product made with pure cocoa butter and no
starchy ingredients. Cocoa Essence was the beginning of chocolate as we
know it today. The brothers soon moved their manufacturing operations to a
larger facility four miles south of Birmingham. The factory and area became
known as Bourneville.
With CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY”’s continued success in chocolate, George and
Richard stopped selling tea in 1873. Master confectioner Frederic Kinchella
was appointed to share his recipe and production secrets with CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” workers.
This resulted in CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” producing chocolate covered nougats, bonbons
delices, pistache, caramels, avelines and more.
1831 – By this year the business had changed from a grocery shop and John
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” had become a manufacturer of drinking chocolate and cocoa.
This was the start of CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” manufacturing business as it is known today. A
larger factory in Bridge Street Birmingham was rented in 1847, John
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” was joined by his brother Birmingham and the business became
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” Brother of Birmingham.
1866 – Saw a turning point for the company with the introduction of a process
for pressing the cocoa butter from the coca beans. This not only enabled
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” Brothers to produce pure coca essence, but the plentiful supply
of coca butter remaining was also used to make new kind of eating chocolate.
The essence was advertised as ‘Absolutely pure, therefore best’.
1879 – Business prospered from this time and CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Brother outgrew the Bridge
Street factory, moving in 1879 to a ‘Greenfield’ site some miles from the
center of Birmingham which came to call Bourneville. The opening of the
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” factory in a garden also heralded a new era in industrial
relations and employee welfare with joint consultation being just one of the
introduced by the pioneering CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To
ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Brothers.
1899 – In this year the business private limited company – CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Brothers
Limited progress since the start of the century. Chocolate has moved being a
“luxury” item to well within the financial reach of everyone.
This market data shows that the rural market has not been well tapped
into. With more than 50 percent of the Indians living in the rural areas, it
means that there is a high potential in the rural market (CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”,
2008).On the product share of the market, hard boiled candy accounts for
about 18% of the market, Éclairs and Toffees has about 18% of the market
share, while gums and mints and lozenges are at par accounting for 13 percent
of the market share each.

"We really wanted to make sure this had high impact with the
consumer," Nina Purewal, brand manager, CADBURY COMPANY WITH

is a very engaging promotion and, as you can see as you go through the

The companies still hope to receive approval for the sale in the UK and
against the deal in some European countries which would "probably result in
unacceptable delay". The delays have also forced the companies to revise their
aim of having the entire sale completed by the middle of this year. Instead,
they now expect the deal to be finalised by July only in about half the

Until mid 80’s chocolates was supposed to be the product of upper and
upper middle class segment. In 1983 Mitchell’s Jubilee was launched first
time in Pakistani market at Rs.3.50 per bar. Due to its attractive packaging,
quality, affordable price and an intact media support the brand received un-
matched reception and became a success story in Pakistani industry. The brand
is still very popular among masses and available in three different price points
at Rs.2,
Rs.5 and Rs.10. In early 2000 CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To

affordable price. The launch of Dairy Milk (Rs.5/-), 5 Star (Rs.5/-), Velvet
(Rs.5/-) and Perk (Rs.3) with attractive dispensing-chillers was the turning and
revolutionary point for making chocolates the choice for every one. The role
of CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING

written in golden words.

challenges consumers to guess mystery Dairy Milk flavours
Business news, Cocoa & chocolate, Ingredients, New products,
“All I can tell you for now,” Rodgers continues, “is that the two new bars are the
nation’s favourite CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” Dairy Milk but with a delicious mystery flavour
filling for your shoppers to try and solve. All will not be revealed…yet!”
Significantly, the brand added that the mystery products, based around Dairy
Milk, will be available from Mid July, and will be in single bar 43g; and Tablet
170g format sizes.
Challenges:
The most common challenges to this industry are soaring prices of raw
material, high excise and import duties on raw material, high entry barrier
because of strong monopolistic competition and influx of cheap imported
brand through gray-Channels.
1) Amazin’ Raisin:-
Milk and plain chocolate covered nougatine and caramel bar with
raisins1971-1978 were the glory days of the Amazin’ Raisin bar. Who can
forget the cockney knees-up of a TV jingle: ‘It’s amazin’ what raisins can
do/Full of goodness and it’s all for you/It’s got two kinds of chocolate and
caramel too/And it’s got raisins and they’re good for you’. Try mentioning it
to raisin fans of a certain age and see them come over all wistful.
2) Aztec:-
Milk chocolate covered bar with a toasted coconut and caramel centre.
(19851994).Caramel and peanut bar covered in milk chocolate. (1989-1994)
Launched in 1985, the mighty Boost evolved over time with various versions
on sale including Coconut Boost and Peanut Boost. 2003 even saw a Boost
featuring the caffeine-rich Guarana berry appearing on the shelves, as well as a
Boost Glucose for extra energy. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer’s muchloved
Lone Ranger ad (complete with surreal strap line ‘it’s slightly rippled with a
flat underside’) was a classic of its time. Five Boys Milk Chocolate.
Launched in 1902 it was once the most famous chocolate bar in the world,
with its five pictures of a five-year-old lad called Lindsay Poulton showing
emotions from Desperation (no chocolate), to Realization (finding out he’s got
Fry’s Chocolate). Apparently at the photo session, Lindsay wasn’t looking
miserable enough for the first photo, so his father (the photographer) tied a
cloth soaked in nasty smelling ammonia round his neck to achieve the
‘Desperation’ face! The bar was retired in 1976.
6) Inspirations:-
Eight Milk Tray Chocolates, in a bar. Imagine a box of Milk Tray Chocolates. Now
imagine picking eight of the most popular chocolates – keeping their distinctive
shapes – and putting them in a bar! The Milk Tray Bar had a cult following back in
the 1970s and people still reminisce about it to this day. It was originally launched in
1947 and was a favorite through to 1981.
9) Skippy:-
‘It’s got a crunch in the biscuit and a munch in the middle’. A classic 1960s
TV ad for Skippy shows a Swinging London couple getting off their scooter
and going into a trendy coffee bar to pick up their Skippy.

Strategy
Efficient sourcing of key raw material i.e. coca through forward purchase of
imports, higher local consumption by entering long term contract with farmer
and undertaking efforts in expanding local coca area development. The
initiatives in the terms of development a long term domestic coca a sourcing
base would field maximum gains when commodity prices start moving up.
• Expand the consumer base. The company has added 8 million new consumer
in the current year and how has consumer base of 60 million although the
growth in absolute numbers is lower than targeted, the company has been
able to increase the width of its consumer base through launch of low priced
products.
• Improving distribution quality by addressing issues of product stability by
installation of visit coolers at several outlets. This would be really effective
in maintaining consumption in summer, when sales usually dip due to the
fact that the heat effects product quality and thereby consumption.
• The above are some steps being taken internally to improve future operation
and profitability. At the same time the management is also aware of external
changes taking place in the competitive environment and is taking steps to
remain competitive in the future environment of free imports, lower barrier
to trade and the advent of all global players in to the country. The
management is not unduly concerned about the huge deluge of imported
chocolate brands in the market place.
It is of the view that size of this imported premium market is small to threaten
its own volumes or sales in fact, the company looks at the tree important as an
opportunity, where it could optimally use the global CADBURY COMPANY
WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Schweppes portfolio.
The company would be able to not only provide greater variety, but it would
also be more cost effective to test market new product as well as improve
speed of response to change in consumer preference through imports. The
only concerns that the company has in this regard is the current high level of
duties, which limit the opportunity to launch value for money products.
2) Weakness:-
• The target population is quiet large and there are fears the demand for
the product may outdo the capacity of the company to satisfy the demands of
the market. It is still not clearly established the rate of growth of the product in
the market but there are expectation that the product will record a high growth
rate. This means that the company will need to increase its production capacity
in order to match the rate of growth of the market (Laura, 2008).
3) Opportunities:-
• There company is introducing the brand in a less competitive market.
This is uniqueopportunity for the company. A more competitive market
becomes difficult to introduce a new brand because there are already other
companies’ which are likely to bring in competition (CADBURY COMPANY
WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”, 2008).
• The company can introduce the product in the market in unique way.
With the growing importance of beauty shows, the company can host beauty
competition in order to help the target market identify with the product. This
will introduce the product in the market in unique way. The company can also
host other events like sports or engage in corporate social responsibility
activities like girl child education to help the target market identify with the
product more (Laura, 2008).
• The company can use a wide range of marketing strategies which will
lead to the overall growth of the product in the market. The Indian advertising
market has been growing at a rapid rate which means there will be an array of
opportunities for the growth of the market.
There are many advertising strategies for the company in the Indian market
(CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”, 2008).

Make no mistake. Second P of marketing is not another name for blindly lowering prices
and relying on this strategy alone to increase sales dramatically. The strategy used by
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s is for
matching the value that customer pays to buy the product with the expectation they have
about what the production is worth to them.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s has
launched various products which cater to all customer segments. So every customer segment
has different price expectation from the product. Therefore maximizing the returns involves
identifying right price level for each segment, and then progressively moving through them.
Dairy Milk Rs. 15
Perk Rs. 10
5 Star Rs. 10
Fruit and Nut Rs. 22
Gems Rs. 10
Break Rs. 5
Nutties Rs. 18
Bournvita (500 gm) Rs. 104 Drinking

Effective advertising is rarely hectoring or loudly explicit…. It often both attracts and
generates arm feelings. More often than not, a successful campaign has a stronger element of
the unexpected a quality that good advertising shares with much worthwhile literature.
To penetrate into the inner recesses of customer memory, communication must first ensure
exposure, grab his attention evoke his comprehension, grab his acceptance and then extract
retention competing with thousands of other units of communication trying to do the same.
Finding showed that the adults felt too conscious to be seen consuming a product actually
meant for children. The strategic response addresses the emotional appeal of the band to the
child within the adult. Naturally, that produced just the value vacuum that CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” was looking to fill.
Thereafter it was the job of the advertising to communicate customer the wonderful feeling
that he could experience by re-discoursing the careful, unselfish conscious, pleasure –
seeking child within him – and graft these feeling onto the Ad campaign like “Khane Walon
Ko Khane Ka Bahana Chahiye” for CMD and “Thodi Si Pet Pooja – Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi”
for Perk have been sure shot winner with the audience.
Whirl with the new launched temptations with the slogan “Too To Share” the communication
resolves around the reluctance of a person who’s got their hand on a bar of temptation to let
anyone else to have a bite. As well as outdoor and radio ads, ad agency contract has created
communication for cinemas and even ATM machines for the brand.
All ICICI’s ATM a message flashes on the screen as soon as customer inserts his ATM card.
It tells the customer that this would be good time to get out of his temptation since he/she is
bound to be alone. Something familiar is planned for phone-book as well. In cinemas,
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” has a
message on-screen just before the lights are dimmed to give them a chance to get their
temptations. There will also be after dinner sampling in restaurants – to begin with, 30
catteries in Mumbai have been selected.
The next round of activity will include the wafer-chocolate Perk and the Picnic bar, which
has faced problems with its taste, because of the peanut it contains. Milk treat has also been
launched in a module bar form, just in time of Diwali gifting market. Éclairs has got potential
for much wide distribution, in a small sweets that airlines, hostels, and up market retail outlet
offer to guest and customers.
Ad spend in 2000 was about 14% of sales and the management said that plans to maintain as
spend at this level in the current year also.
Ad since any discussion today would be incomplete without mention ‘e’ word, the
management plans to tap this new channel of marketing. Beside three company website
(i.e.www.CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”india.com, wwww.bourvita.com, www.CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”gift.com) that the company has launched, it
had also entered into various marketing relationship with other portals, specially targeted
during festivals and events such as Valentines Day, etc….
It’s a combination of stiffing up its key brand, researching and improving the newer products
that haven’t taken off, supported with high ad – spends that CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” hopes will see it emerges stronger after the
current slowdown, as well as expand the market.
5 – Positioning
In the 1970s consumers were ready to pay “more for more”, and luxury goods flourished. In
the 1980s, consumers began to demand “more for same”, and the discounting era grew
