EARLIER REFERENCES: In western countries HRM had its primitive beginning in 1930s. Not much thought was given on this subject in particular and no written records or documents interesting to note HRM concepts was available, in ancient philosophies of Greek, Indian and Chinese. This is not to suggest that industrial establishment and factories system, as it is known today, existed in ancient Greece, India or china. The philosophy of managing human being, as a concept was found developed in ancient literatures in general and in Indian philosophy in particular.

PERSONNEL FUNCTIONS: Till 1930s, it was not felt necessary to have a separate discipline of management called Personnel management. In fact, this job was assigned as part of the factory manager. Adam Smiths concept of factory was that it consists of three resources, land, labour and capital. This factory manager is expected to procure,

Process and peddle labour as one of the resources. The first time when such a specialist person was used; it was to maintain a buffer between employer and employee to meet the legitimate need of employees. However, it is the employer who decided what is legitimate need of employees. In fact, the specialist person was more needed to prevent unionization of employees. This was the case before 1930-s all over the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON HRM: Since 1930s, certain developments took place, which greatly contributed, to the evolution and growth of Human Resources Management (HRM). These developments are given below:

Scientific Management

Labour Movements

Government Regulations.

1.2NEED FOR THE STUDY : Shortage of skills.

Skills and knowledge people are always on short supply. Alternatively they are too costly to hire from outside. The best alternative is to improve skill and knowledge of existing employees.

Technological Obsolescence.

Growth of technology takes places very fast. This will render current technology obsolete in the future. There is a great need to upgrade technology. This needs suitable training.

Personal Obsolescence.

At the time recruitment employees possess a certain of knowledge and skill. As time passes knowledge becomes obsolete, unless it is updated by proper training. This happens because of changes taking place in product technology, production methods, procurement of better machines, setting up of modern production lines, introduction of modern method of supervision and information processing through MIS and EDO..

Organization Obsolescence.

Modern management has introduced a number of innovative steps in functions of management like planning, organizing, controlling, coordinating and directing. Organization which is impervious to such changes is bound to fail and become obsolete.

Upgrading Ability of Threshold workers.

Public policy provides reservation to disadvantaged sections of the society like handicapped, minorities and dependents of deceased workers etc. All these are threshold workers having less than minimum prescribed level of knowledge and skill. They require extensive training to bring them up to the minimum level of performance standard.

Coercive training by government.

In order to provide better employability chances of unemployed youth, certain governments taken initiative to mobilize resources available at pubic/government and private sectors to outside candidates. One such example is the Apprentice Training conducted by govt. of India. Parts of expenditure incurred for this by private sectors are reimbursed by government.

Human capital

The latest thinking is to treat employees as human capital. The expenditure involved is training and developments are now being considered as an investment.

SCOPE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT The Scope of HRM is in deed fast. All major activities in the working life of worker from time of his entry in an organization until he / she leaves, come under the preview of HRM. Specifically, the activities included are Human Resource planning, Job analysis and design, Recruitment, Selection, Orientation and placement, Training and development, Performance appraisal and Job evaluation, employee and executive remuneration and communication, employee welfare, safety and health, industrial relations and the like.

HRM is becoming a specialized branch giving rise to a number of specialized areas like:

Staffing

Welfare and Safety

Wages and Salary Administration

Training and Development

Labour Relations

MARKETING DEPARTMENT Marketing concept is a customer orientation backed by integrated marketing aimed at generating customer satisfaction as the key to satisfying organizational goals. For a firm in order to implement the marketing concept it has to focus its attention on the consumer, ascertain his/her needs, discuss and wants before Every Brand appeals to individual customers in different ways.

Good customer service is the life blood of any business. Good customer service is all about attending to existing and potential customers. This maintaining good relationship with the customers is the key to business success and hence the concept relationship marketing. Traditionally, marketers have located their target market segments, presented their offer, and made the sales. It's always been a single step process.

Relationship marketing looks at customers and clients over a longer term. It takes into account the lifetime value of a customer. Many experts think it costs anywhere from six to ten times as much, to find a new customer, than to sell to an existing one. With those financial realities in mind, the approach makes some sense, and some real dollars. Relationship marketing is based on the idea that people prefer to do business with people who they know and like. After all, it's easier to buy from a friend, than from someone you've never heard of before. It's a matter of building trust.

It's said that people need to hear an offer at least seven times before they buy. That concept certainly works against the single step marketing method. The Marketing department is responsible for marketing of Big Bazaars products through different media like TV, radio, newspapers, banners, placards etc. The marketing department has to decide and identify the most effective medium to attract the customers to Big Bazaar thereby increasing the sales. The department has to design creative and attractive advertisements through which the companys products can be promoted to the customers.

The company has to visit different companies and has to enter in tie-ups for all its advertisement campaign. The marketing department also consists of another separate department which is known as Visual Merchandising. Visual merchandising is an art by which a retailer makes the store talk to its customers. The colours, signage, lights, look and feel, everything is taken into account. It is very important to figure out what is the story, the picture, the idea that is being sold to the customers.

Another concept that was incorporated in Big Bazaar from the beginning was that of Category management as opposed to the brand merchandising practice that is followed by many retailers. Category management is based on the belief that a customer walks into a store looking for party shirt or a formal trouser, rather than a particular brand.

Therefore the store is designed according to the categories like mens formal wear, womens western wear or a casual wear,

etc. Within the organisation too, teams were divided according to the categories that they managed, rather than the brands. Big Bazaar wanted to have a complete bouquet of products in each category at different price-points, design, fabric, size and colour.

The objective was to create traffic drivers within the Store rather than make brands compete with each other. Focussing on categories also helped to achieve a level of perfection within the specific segments. This department is responsible for the attractive product arrangement in the Store with respect to their nature.

The basic function of this department is it divides the Store into some departments based on the nature of the product and also within the department it decides how the products should be arranged keeping in mind the customers taste. It also arranges the products to attract the customers and also ensure easy availability of products.

LOGISTICS Logistics is a very important department of Big Bazaar. It is responsible for procuring the stock of all the products of the different departments. The logistics department receives the goods from the warehouse. The Warehouse of Big Bazaar for the entire South zone is located at Hosakote, Karnataka.

Wednesday Bazaar is a very important and popular event in Big Bazaar. Every Wednesday fabulous offers and great discounts are given on most of the

products. Customers arrive in large numbers as they realize that it is on Wednesday that products are offered at the lowest prices. Recently Big Bazaar Perambur celebrated its 8th anniversary.

Big Bazaar celebrated this occasion by having the 8th anniversary sale from 12-16th July. Good discounts and offers were provided on products to celebrate this occasion along with the customers who were the prime reason for its success.

On Saturday and Sunday also the customer turnout is high, as it is on the weekends that most of the customers find time for shopping. They arrive along with their family to enjoy the shopping experience. Good discounts and offers are also provided to attract more number of customers. Retailing is not just about selling products it is about selling an idea.

Why do people in shop when they are bored or depressed? It is not just because they have the money to buy, but because they want to go through an experience. It is very crucial in retailing to make customers relate to every product that is being sold, as well as the Stores environment.

CUSTOMER SERVICE DESK (CSD) As the name suggests this is the separate dept which mainly focuses on customer service like if a customer finds difficulty in finding any product, if there are any customer complaints, they are also looked into, any customer assistance etc. is also provided. There is also an Exchange Counter where if a customer is dissatisfied or wants to exchange the product he/ she has purchased for any reason , the customers can exchange them within 7 days of their purchase. When a customer brings a product for exchange, the product is first received and checked if it is used or deliberately damaged or tampered with. If it is in an acceptable condition, then the customer is issued a Credit Note for that amount (products price).

The customer can then purchase any product for that amount or just take back the money by encashing the credit note at a cash counter.

If the customer buys a product less than the amount in the credit note, the difference amount will be returned to the customer and on the other hand if a customer buys a product more than the amount in the credit note, the customer will be asked to pay the difference amount.

This department is also responsible for announcing all the offers running in the store on different products throughout the day. This dept also does gift wrapping for any product if the customer wants it at free of cost.The dept also collects customers opinion / feedback for continuous improvement in their service.

The ultimate aim of this department is to help and satisfy the customer in every possible manner and makes the customers experience memorable.

LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION

People are integral part of an organization today. No organization can run without its human resource. In todays highly complex and competitive situation, choice of right person at the right place at the right time has far implications for an organizations functioning. An employee well selected and well placed would not only contribute to the efficient running of the organization but also offer significant potential for future replacement. Thus hiring is an important function. The process of hiring begins with human resource planning which helps to determine the number and type of people an organization needs. Job analysis and job design enables to specify the task and duties of jobs and qualifications expected from prospective job. HRP, job analysis and job design helps to identify the kind of people required in an organization and hence hiring. It should be noted that hiring is an ongoing process and not confined to formative stages of an organization. Employees leave the organization in search of greener pastures, some retire and some die in the saddle. More importantly an enterprise grows, diversifies, take over the other units until all necessitating hiring of new men and women. In fact the hiring function stops only when the organization ceases to exist.

RECRUITMENT:

According to Flippo, Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an organization. It is the activity which links the employer and the job seekers.

According to Yoder, Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.

Recruitment is the development and maintenance of adequate manpower resources. It involves the creation of a pool of available labor upon whom the organization can draw when it needs additional employees. Thus we can say that:

Recruitment is the activity that links employer and job seekers.

It is a process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. It begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of application forms which new employees are selected.

It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirements of staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.

Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps to create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the selection process.

RECRUITMENT:Refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function, usually undertaken by recruiters. It also may be undertaken by an employment agency or a member of staff at the business or organization looking for recruits. Advertising is commonly part of the recruiting process, and can occur through several means: through online, newspapers, using newspaper dedicated to job advertisement, through professional publication, using advertisements placed in windows, through a job center, through campus graduate recruitment programs, etc.

Suitability for a job is typically assessed by looking for skills, e.g. communication skills, typing skills, computer skills. Evidence for skills required for a job may be provided in the form of qualifications (educational or professional), experience in a job requiring the relevant skills or the testimony of references. Employment agencies may also give computerized tests to assess an individual's "off-hand" knowledge of software packages or typing skills. At a more basic level written tests may be given to assess numeric and literacy. A candidate may also be assessed on the basis of an interview. Sometimes candidates will be requested to provide a rsum (also known as a CV) or to complete an application form to provide this evidence.IN SOURCING:Companies recruit the candidates and, employ them, train and develop them and utilize the human resources of these candidates. This strategyis called In-sourcing. Companies formulate and implement this strategy when the corporate strategy is stable.OUT SOURCING:

Some service companies depend for their human resourceson such external organization whose core business is to provide human resources. This strategyis called Out-sourcing. Out-sourcing strategy is more suitable for both the fast growing and diversifying companies. To search for talent globally and not just within the company. To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum. To anticipate and final people for positions that do not exists yet.Selection:

Selection process is a decision making process. This step consists a number of activities. A candidate who fails to qualify for a particular step is not eligible for appearing for the subsequent step. Employee selection is the process of putting right men on the right job. It is a procedure of matching organizational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people. Effective selection can be done only where there is effective matching. By selecting best candidate for the required job, the organization will get quality performance of employees. Moreover, organisation will face less absenteeism and employee turnover problems. By selecting right candidate for the required job, organization will also save time and money. Proper screening of candidates takes place during selection procedure. All the potential candidates who apply for the given job are tested.
