INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION!
Industries can be classified on the basis of the business cycle, that means,
according to their reactions to the different phases of the business cycle.
They are classified into growth, cycle, and defensive cyclical growth
industry.
GROWTH INDUSTRY
The growth industries have special features of high rate of earnings and
growth in expansion, independent of the business cycle. The expansion of
the industry mainly depends on the technological change.
CYCLICAL INDUSTRY
The growth and the profitability of the industry move along with the
business cycle. During the boom period they enjoy growth and during
depression they suffer a set back
DEFENSIVE INDUSTRY
-Pioneering Stage
-Decline Stage
POINEERING STAGE
The prospective demand for the product is promising in this stage and the
technology of the product is low. The demand for the product attracts many
producers to produce the particular product .There would be severe
competition and only fittest companies survive this stage. The producers try
to develop brand name, differentiate the product and create a product
image. This would lead to non-price competition too. The severe
competition often leads to the change of position of the firms in terms of
market shares and profit. In this situation, it is difficult to select companies
for investments because the survival rate is unknown.
In the stabilization stage, the growth rate tends to moderate and the rate of
growth would be more or less equal to the industrial growth rate of the
gross domestic product growth rate. Symptoms of obsolescence may
appear in the technology. To keep going technological innovations in the
production in process and products should be introduced. The investors
have to closely monitor the events that take place in the maturity stage of
industry.
DECLINING STAGE
In this stage, demand for the particular product and the earnings of the
companies in the industry7 decline. The specific feature of the declining
stage is that even in the boom period; the growth of the industry would be
low and decline at a higher rate during the investment in the shares of
these types of companies leads to erosion of capital.

into the past growth of the industry, the analyst can predict the future.
The cost structure, that is the fixed and variable cost, affects the cost of
production and profitability of the firm. Higher the fixed cost component,
greater sales volume is required to reach the firm’s breakeven point. Once
the breakeven point is reached and the production is on the track, the
demand and reaching the break even points are comparatively easier.

CONCLUSION
In our opinion, instead of taking a short-term view of paying capacity, the
that telecom companies are hearing a lot these days-“Volumes”. They need
volumes to sustain the network and the large employee base they have
enrolled. In this regard, companies like Reliance and Tata’s have been
giving upto 30% commission on each call. How they market and distribute
these connections is a tough battle indeed. If and when the carrier access
codes are introduced, there could be a tough fight among these outlets, as
far as prices are concerned. Yet, prices can go down further by almost 40%
of the present structure. Part of the price cuts could be because of tax
exemptions, if and when these companies can lobby for the same. The
