ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION CHART ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Organizational structure depends on the product to be developed. Wheelwright and Clark define a continuum of organizational structures between two extremes, functional organizations and project organizations. Functional organizations are organized according to technological disciplines. Senior functional managers are responsible for allocating resources. The responsibility for the total product is not allocated to a single person. Coordination occurs through rules and procedures, detailed specifications, shared traditions among engineers and meetings (ad hoc and structured). Products that need a high level of specialized knowledge require a functionally organized structure. A light-weighted matrix organization remains functional and the level of specialization is comparable to that found in the functional mode. What is different, is the addition of a product manager who coordinates the product creation activities through liaison representatives from each function. Their main tasks are: to collect information, to solve conflicts and to facilitate achievement of overall project objectives. Their status and influence are less as compared to functional managers, because they have no direct access to working-level people.

24

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

A heavy-weighted matrix organization exists of a matrix with dominant the project structure and underlying the functional departments. The product manager has a broader responsibility. Manufacturing, marketing and concept development are included. The status and influence of the product manager, who is usually a senior, is the same or higher as compared to the functional manager. compared to functional managers, because they have no direct access to working-level people. A project organization exists of product oriented flows: project and teams. The project members leave their functional department and devote all their time to the project. They share the same location. The professionals are less specialized and have brioader tasks, skills and responsibilities. The functional manager is responsible for the personnel development and the more detailed technology research in the functional groups. Companies can be classified to their organizational structures. Another variable companies can be classified to is the nature of the projects undertaken. We characterize projects by the number of employees needed to perform the tasks, or workload, and the number of tasks that are fundamentally different in nature. An example of the latter aspect is PCB development and structural design. Another way to classify organization structure is by one of the following four categories: I. The product to be developed is comprehensible for one person. One person is likely to have all the knowledge needed to develop

25

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

Manufacturing and Assembly. The development department in companies that undertake these kinds of projects are usually very small. If a company consists of more than one department, it is usually structured as a functional organization. II. The product to be developed has a fairly low complexity, but total work is high. These kinds of products are likely to be developed within one functional department. A research department may also be an example of a department in which type II projects are undertaken. Are more departments involved, and then the light weighted matrix structure is preferable. Employees are involved on a full-time basis. Tasks may be performed concurrently. The sequence can be determined using the Design Structure Matrix. III. The product to be developed consists of a lot of different elements, such as software, PCB, power supply and mechanical structure. The product is however in the engineering phase, i.e. it is clear what needs to be done to get the product into production. Various disciplines perform their own tasks. These tasks have mostly a low workload. Employees cannot work full-timee on one project. This creates a complex situation, that may be compared to a job shop situation in production logistics. Though the comparison between manufacturing and product development is not accepted by all product development managers, it may yield good results. Studying each step in the Product Development Process and fluctuations in workloads reveals ways to

26

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

reduce variation and eliminate bottlenecks. It is necessary to view the Product Development Process as a process and not as a list of projects. Three important findings regarding this are: 1. Projects get done faster if the organization takes on fewer at

a time. 2. Investments to relieve bottlenecks yield disproportionately

large time-to-market benefits. 3. Eliminating unnecessary variation in workloads and work

processes eliminates distractions and delays, thereby freeing up the organization to focus on the creative parts of the task. Creating cross-functional concurrent engineering teams is the right way to develop products. However, the pitfall is too many project at the same time, so that key people from engineering, marketing and manufacturing work at five or more projects at once. This results in congestion. Striving to work at 100% of the product development capacity legthens product development lead times enormously. A more realistic percentage is 80%. Attention must be focused on bottlenecks, these days most commonly found at the software development side of the project. IV. The product is complex. Total work is high. Employees can thus participate on a full-time basis. A project organization is the most appropriate organizational structure for these kind's of products.

On the death of any member of the group insured during the year of cover, a lump sum is paid to that members beneficiaries to help meet some of the immediate financial needs following their loss.

Eligibility Members of the development agency and their spouses with: - Minimum age at the start of the policy 18 years last birthday - Maximum age at the start of policy 50 years last birthday Employees of the Development Agency are not eligible to join the group. The group to be covered is only eligible if it contains more than 500 members.

Premium Payments

The premium to be paid will be quoted per member in the group and will be the same for all members of the group. The premium can only be paid by the Development Agency as a single lump sum that includes all premiums for the

34

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

group to be covered. Cover will not start until the premium and all the member information in our specified format has been received.

The premium rate is Rs. 25 per Rs. 10,000 of lump sum, per member. Benefits On the death of each member covered by the policy during the year of cover a lump sum equal to the sum assured will be paid to their beneficiaries or legal heirs. Where the death is as a result of an accident, an additional lump sum will be paid equal to half the sum assured. There are no benefits paid at the end of the year of cover and there is no surrender value available at any time.

The role of the Development Agency Due to the nature of the groups covered, HDFC Standard Life will be passing certain administrative tasks onto the Development Agency. By passing on these tasks the premium charged can be lower. These tasks would include: Submission of member data in a specified computer format Collection of premiums from group members Recording changes in the details of group members Disbursement of claim payments and the mortality rebate (if any) to group members These tasks would be in addition to the usual duties of a policyholder such as:

35

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

o Payment of premiums o Reporting of claims o Keeping policy holder information up to date Training and support will be available to give guidance on how to complete the tasks appropriately. Since these additional tasks will impose a burden on the Development Agency, the Development Agency may charge a Rs. 10 administration fee to their members. Prohibition of rebates Section 41 of the Insurance Act, 1938 states No person shall allow or offer to allow, either directly or indirectly, as an inducement to any person to take out or renew or continue an insurance in respect of any kind of risk relating to lives or property in India, any rebate of the whole or part of the commission payable or any rebate of the premium shown on the policy, nor shall any person taking out or renewing or continuing a policy accept any rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed in accordance with the published prospectus or tables of the insurer If any person fails to comply with sub regulation (previous point) above, he shall be liable to payment of a fine which may extend to rupees five hundred Bank HDFC Bank provides correspondent bank services to Co-operative Banks, Private Banks, Foreign Banks & RRB's.

Need of the Study ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY Insurance means being covered or protected against any hazards of life. It is a financial agreement that binds two people to certain obligations which is known as Policy. One who buys insurance/ gets insurance coverage is the policy holder or insured and the one who sells the policy is the insurer. From the time the insured signs the policy he/she has an obligation to pay a certain amount of money known as premium at regular intervals for a stipulated period to the insurer. In fact, insurance is a contract to pay a premium in return for which the

41

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

insurer will pay compensation in certain eventualities e.g. fire, theft, motor accident, etc. The Indian insurance industry has witnessed exceptional growth with private participation. It has a mix of public and private players both in the field of life and non-life business. This sector not only provide a protective shield to the lives and assets of the nation but also generate thousands of jobs and career opportunities. The foremost choice to open a career in this field is to start as an insurance agent. They are the people who advice the individuals and enterprises about insurance protection to their health, life and properties and sell the policies to provide protection against financial loss. Depending on their educational qualification and strengths, the agents have a good chance of becoming an employee of the company. This industry also provide great opportunities in marketing, distribution, actuarial, underwriting operations and investing

departments. There are about 30 insurance companies in India. The major government companies are Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), General Insurance Corporation (GIC) and Postal Life Insurance.

DEVELOPMENT Housing Finance Sector Against the milieu of rapid urbanisation and a changing socio-economic scenario, the demand for housing has grown explosively. The importance of the housing sector in the economy can be illustrated by a few key statistics. According to the National Building Organisation (NBO), the total demand for housing is estimated at 2 million units per year and the total housing shortfall is estimated to be 19.4 million units, of which 12.76 million units is from rural areas and 6.64 million units from urban areas. The housing industry is the second largest employment generator in the country. It is estimated that the budgeted 2 million units would lead to the creation of an additional 10 million man-years of direct employment and another 15 million man-years of indirect employment.

Having identified housing as a priority area in the Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002), the National Housing Policy has envisaged an investment target of Rs. 1,500 billion for this sector.

A widely quoted definition by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development states that 'Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large'. Although the term 'CSR' is of relatively recent vintage, it is this commitment, that HDFC has exemplified with zeal, perseverance and enthusiasm since its nascent years. The initiatives undertaken by the Corporation from its earliest days flow from a wellspring of voluntary efforts as opposed to obligatory commitments. The following pages describe some of the projects supported by HDFC through the Shelter Assistance Reserve, initiatives undertaken by HDFC employees and our continued bulk lending operations in the area of microfinance and low-income housing. Shelter Assistance Reserve The year saw the utilisation of the Shelter Assistance Reserve towards a wide array of development projects across the country. The Reserve supported close to 160 nonprofits and development organisations with the overall utilisation at Rs. 4.68 crore. The segment-wise break-up of the utilisation is highlighted in the chart below:

ORIGIN OF THE ORGANIZATION

HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Ltd. is one of India's leading private insurance companies, which offers a range of individual and group insurance solutions. It is a joint venture between Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC Ltd.), India's leading housing finance institution and a Group Company of the Standard Life, UK. HDFC as on December 31, 2007 holds 72.38 per cent of equity in the joint venture. The Standard Life Assurance Company ("Standard Life") was established in 1825 and the first Standard Life Assurance Company Act was passed by Parliament in 1832. Standard Life was reincorporated as a mutual assurance company in 1925. The Standard Life group originally operated only through branches or agencies of the mutual company in the United Kingdom and certain other countries. Its Canadian branch was founded in 1833 and its Irish operations in 1838. This largely remained the structure of the group until 1996, when it opened a

55

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

branch in Frankfurt, Germany with the aim of exporting its UK life assurance and pensions operating model to capitalise on the opportunities presented by EC Directive 92/96/EEC (the Third Life Directive) and offer a product range in that market with features which local providers were unable to offer. In the 1990s, the group also sought to diversify its operations into areas which complemented its core life assurance and pensions business, with the intention of positioning itself as a broad range financial services provider. Banking, Healthcare & Investments The group set up Standard Life Bank, its UK mortgage and retail savings banking subsidiary, in 1998 and Standard Life Investments, which had previously been the in-house investment management unit of the groups life assurance and pensions business, was separated into a distinct legal entity in the same year, with the aim of establishing it as an independent investment management business providing services to both the group and third party retail and institutional clients. The group acquired Prime Health Limited (subsequently renamed Standard Life Healthcare) in the United Kingdom in 2000. Standard Life Healthcare expanded in March 2006 with the acquisition of the PMI business of FirstAssist. Standard Life Asia Limited/Joint ventures The groups Hong Kong subsidiary, Standard Life Asia Limited (SL Asia), was incorporated in 1999 as a joint venture and became a wholly-owned 56

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

subsidiary of Standard Life in 2002. The groups operations in Hong Kong were established to give the group a presence in the Far East from which it could expand into China. The groups joint ventures in India with Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) were incorporated in 2000 (in relation to the life assurance and pensions joint venture) and 2003 (in relation to the investment management joint venture). The groups joint venture in China with Tianjin Economic Development Area General Company (TEDA) became operational in 2003. Standard Life International Limited The group also incorporated Standard Life International Limited (SLIL) in 2005 for the purposes of providing the group with an offshore vehicle, based in Ireland, through which it could sell tax-efficient investment products into the United Kingdom. Sales of these products commenced in 2006. Service company Following the groups strategic review in 2004, the group established a service company structure for the provision of central corporate services to the groups business units. Standard Life Employee Services Limited (SLESL) supplies a wide range of central services to the rest of the group, including IT, facilities, legal and human resources services, and employs staff working in the groups UK and Irish operations (other than SLI, SLB and SLH, which employ their staff directly).

business tie-ups. An integrated document management system helps users with features such as document access rights, document structure definition, and the facility to convert multiple images into a simple image. Wonders provides on-demand MIS generation, and provides deadlines while awaiting responses. The workflow has the business logic to route the cases electronically to pre-determined selected items.

Implementation in a nutshell Company Solution Project started Project completed Aim of implementation HDFC Standard Life Insurance Wonders, or Workflow on Demand and Enterprise Retrieval System May 2003 January 2006 the To improve efficiency, process monitoring, process control and tracking; improve customer proximity; increase personalised services; improve brand image by innovative utilisation of internal resources

Challenges faced

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

Major benefits

Productivity improvement due to reduction in complaints from sales, instant retrieval of information, and increased capacity Reduction of average policy insurance time Faster response leading to high customer satisfaction Improved and consistent customer service Increased revenues

Technically speaking Wonders has an n-tier modular architecture with a Web-based front-end. This reduces effort in maintenance, scalability, flexibility and loosely-coupled integration. The implementation of Wonders technically involved a number of innovations such as a Web-based front-end which is customised to improve the productivity of users. The GUI provides dual monitor support so that the electronic form image can be shown alongside the data entry form on separate monitors. HDFCSL is using a 15 and a 17 monitor for this purpose. The 17 monitor is turned at 90degrees, letting users see a scanned image in its entirety without having to scroll. By using two smaller monitors instead of one large 20-25 monitor, the company has made significant savings. Guided data entry with the relevant images being shown automatically improves the speed of this process. A document tree hierarchy is also provided to navigate through documents. Document image retrieval is automated, and hotkey functions are provided to reduce key strokes. Says Rawlani, Users can open

67

HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE, KANPUR

multiple windows to access information, but they are only shown the functions and queues to which they have access. This has helped us safeguard the confidential data of our customers. He concludes, After observing the success of Wonders we have planned to automate the remaining processes in our organisation and have decided to go in for customer-centric value-adds to the existing solution. Our future innovation strategy includes the implementation of a real-time dashboard with key operational and business health indicators that will help the top management monitor and gain on cost arbitrage or revenue pools.

MARKET PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION HDFC Standard tapping corporate agency route Our Bureau KOCHI, Jan. 7 HDFC Standard Life Insurance is aggressively tapping the corporate agency route in a bid to broadbase its distribution network and shore up its customer base. The insurer today announced its tie-up with the Kochi based JRG Financial Services Pvt Ltd as its new corporate agency channel, after Indian Bank and Union Bank. Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Mr Paresh Parasnis, General Manager, Distribution, said, "With the change in regulations for corporate agency, we are now focusing on activating our relationships with distribution houses and commercial banks. This tie-up will enable us to reach out to a large number of customers in Kerala." According to Mr Parasnis, the company proposes to broadbase its distribution network through this route rather than opening up of branches across the country. "We already have around 34 branches across the country but our growth route will be via the corporate agency route. A lot of business is coming up from say, B and C category towns and it is not feasible to open offices in every such location," he said. Mr Parasnis said that the company was not looking for agents, but was attempting to tap an already existing base of customers.

In terms of whole business, he said a fair size of the market would be held by LIC alone.
