LEARNING SUMMARISATION
It was an absolute worthwhile experience in working at the CAPEX, KOLLAM. The
friendly welcoming staff and the space they have created for an Intern allowed me with ample
opportunities to learn and know myself as a worker. This experience brought out my strength and it
added more confidence to my professional approach, built a stronger positive attitude and taught me
how to work in team as a player. The primary objective of an internship is to gather a real life
working experience and put the theoretical knowledge in practice. I am grateful to the entire team of
the company for their unprecedented support to make my working experience truly rewarding.
On completion of this internship period, I came to know about the co-ordination between the
different levels in organization and also help me to know the leadership skills and also to be a
initiator during different situation. It gave me a practical exposure to the various functional areas of
which I only had a theoretical knowledge so far . I had limited space to work, I still managed to
grab plentiful of experiences. I made the best of every opportunity I was given and made the utmost
use of my responsibilities. There is however some gap between our theoretical knowledge and real
life practice, yet the managerial level staff members is quite open towards upgrading current
approach, which was extremely motivating. . I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that came along
every single day.
In this Organisation give equal importance to each and every person and in that
organization, which I felt is; friendly atmosphere that makes the employee back from work pressure
30
and they are always trying to make their performance better and work sincerely to achieve the
organization goal.
In an organization, workers are the backbones; motivation makes employees more
productive to the organization. Through motivation management can reduce the grievances rate and
increase the employee morale in an organization.
Internship is the best opportunity to gain the organizational work experience as well as the
particular industrial knowledge.
31
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
CAPEX is the major cashew exporter in the country
Brand image of a govt company
Monopoly in the field of cashew nut processing
Company is working in an eco friendly manner
Qualified and experienced human resources
Effective internal check system to maintain quality
Good industrial relationship
Committed and strong manpower
WEAKNESS
Non availability of raw materials inside the company
Lack of capital
Political interference
Lack of advanced technology
32
OPPORTUNITIES
More demand for the product in developed countries
Favourable decision made by trade unions
More marketing opportunities
THREATS
Competition from other private companies
Non availability of local raw nuts
Price fluctuation in the market
Too much of political influence in management of decision making
33
FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
FINDINGS
CAPEX has challenges from the fragmented players in kerala market
There is very good relation between workers and management
The main advantage of the organisation is that sell the best quality product
The distributers & suppliers make a frequent visit,enquire and deliver producton time
The kernel price changes considerably over year
CAPEX is mainly concentrated on product based market strategy
CAPEX has appropriate financial resources available from state government
CAPEX provide with good packaging style
CAPEX products occupy major market share in kerala cashew market
SUGGESTIONS
CAPEX should promote cashews successfully in the international market, a thorough
foreign market study with the help of overseas agency is necessary
The organisation should recruit and trained and fill vacant post by promotion or by
employing ground employees from future
Marketing of the product should be winded
The organisation should develop a fully fledged distribution channel
34
To overcome imports steps must be taken for cultivation of cashew trees with in state
By avoiding competition among the kernel manufactures
The step increase in raw nuts price is mainly due to shifting a processing and development
of cashews industry outside kerala . government must take necessary steps to prevent such
practise
35
CONCLUSION
The internship program conducted at this firm made me to understand the frame work of an
industrial unit. It has given an outflow on the various functions taking part at organization
including day to day activities. There is a wide scope for exporting and company is utilizing it for
me. My internship programme was an unforgettable experience. I am so happy to do my four week
internship in CAPEX, KOLLAM. That has shaped me in knowing the working of an industry.
Apart from other private sector units. CAPEX is a vibrant organization, prevailing a good
atmosphere. We cannot see individual lien, everyone working together in achieving the goal.
On completion of this internship I came to know about the importance of commerce department
And the role of commercial manager and training executive in an organization
Hence I can sum up by saying that my internship was a milestone to my academic and
professional experience .These lessons that I have learned will be a valuable one for my future
Endeavours as well
