GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
32
The above figure refers to the data collected during the course of the market
survey. The brief given to me by the company was to question sanitary-ware
dealers whether they wanted to forge a collaboration with a paint company.
To this, most of the dealers replied in the negative as they thought they were
not in a position to enter into such a joint venture. This constituted 76% of
the respondents. 10% of the dealers contacted already had a dealership in
paints simultaneously with their sanitary-ware business. Only 14% of the
dealers showed a keen interest in collaborating with a paint company as it
meant a good business opportunity and they could then enter newer markets.

The details of the interested dealers were duly intimated to the top
management of the company.
2) Some dealers were hostile in their attitudes and did not provide the
relevant information in its entirety.
