    INTRODUCCIN DE LA EMPRESA

    Cmo comenz todo

    Apenas unos meses despus de la primera llegada del hombre a la Luna en 1969, DHL comienza aoperar el primer servicio de entrega internacional puerta a puerta expreso en el mundo. Todo empez

    de casualidad en una tienda local de alimentos de San Francisco. La idea surgi durante el encuentro

    de dos amigos el Sr. Adrian Dalsey y el Sr. Larry Hillblom en julio de 1969. Dalsey era una persona de

    ventas y Hillblom era un mensajero volar, pensando en sus ltimos 3.000 dlares las ganancias del

    mercado de valores de inversin. "Vamos a empezar una nueva empresa." Fue la idea de que entr en

    sus mentes. Un asociado de bienes races Lynn se uni a ellos, y DHL comenz su primer servicio de

    mensajera entre la costa oeste de Amrica y Hawai.

    Es sobre la base de los nombres de los propietarios se sugiri el nombre de la organizacin.

    Los primeros clientes de DHL fueron las compaas navieras, que requeran de un servicio de entrega

    anticipada de los documentos de embarque para llegar a sus clientes antes de que el auto envo, para

    hacer ms fcil y menos tiempo. Los bancos que utilizan los servicios de entrega al da siguiente de la

    compaa de superar el sistema postal y para asegurar un transporte seguro de documentos y cheques

    por valor de millones de dlares.

    En el momento en que pasa a la creciente red de clientes entusiastas en EE.UU., DHL comienza a

    satisfacer la demanda de un servicio internacional con la apertura de territorios en el Lejano Oriente y la

    Cuenca del Pacfico. El xito de DHL provoca una respuesta envidia de compaas rivales y tiene que

    luchar una batalla legal para permanecer en el negocio. Pero esto no impide que una mayor expansin:

    una compaa separada, DHL International Ltd., se estableci para centrarse en la satisfaccin de la

    demanda cada vez mayor para las entregas internacionales de puerta a puerta.

    El inicio de los aos 80 marca un enfoque en la fiabilidad, control, facilidad de facturacin, y la

    flexibilidad de servicio: cualidades que DHL cumple con las necesidades del cliente para el da de hoy.

    Para asegurarse de que el tamao cada vez mayor de DHL todava se puede gestionar con eficacia; un

    equipo de estrategias globales internas se form para coordinar las actividades en todo el mundo.

    Despus de treinta aos de expansin hay pocos territorios de la Nueva Izquierda de DHL para entrar a

    vivir. En cambio, la compaa se concentra en la mejora mediante la apertura de nuevos centros de

    servicios, forjar nuevas alianzas comerciales y la introduccin de nueva tecnologa.

    La compaa tiene sus oficinas centrales situadas en Bruselas, Blgica. Aunque se trata de una empresa

    con sede en Estados Unidos, todava tiene su oficina central en Europa razones especficas por la

    propiedad.

    Findings and Analysis

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    9/27

    For the achievement of our objectives and to find out the prevailing situation of market, we constructed

    a questionnaire (See Appendix B).

    In this questionnaire various questions were asked from respondents, which were based on suggested

    variables. Then after completion of our survey each variable was analyzed through the data provided by

    questionnaire. The graphical presentations of each variable along with its analysis, is as follows:

    The first question that was asked from the respondents was about the first name that came into their

    mind when they thought of a courier company.

    The table and the graph explicitly describe that TCS has been thought of at the very first moment. We

    also found that one respondent saying that make a TCS of this document to Lahore. This showed that

    TCS have become a generic that is used to say when to send something through a courier and following

    data also proofs it.

    price and faster service.

    ** Lowest the sum of the attribute also shows its highest importance.

    The attributes that become the basis for choosing a courier service company have been summarized

    above in the table. The five most important attributes that are considered in case a document is handed

    over to a courier describe that price is the most important attribute in this regard. The Mode (degree of

    repetition of a value) shows that most of the time price and faster delivery have been ranked at one,

    being the most important ones. Probing into the respondents revealed that they are more a cautious for

    price and reliability, due to reason the legitimate importance the documents carry. The importance of acourier being responsive or the case of urgent delivery is ranked at five.

    The details of each attribute for the delivery of a document are presented with the help of tables and

    charts. (See appendix 1)

    The attributes that become the basis for choosing a courier service company have been summarized

    above in the table. The five most important attributes that are considered in case a parcel is handed

    over to a courier describe that price is the most important attribute in this regard. The Mode (degree of

    the right person at the right time. Faster delivery and urgent delivery have been ranked at the next level

    by most of the respondents. The next attribute, complicated delivery has been the last important

    because most of the respondents said they never had that kind of delivery that require a special

    treatment at all.

    The details of each attribute for the delivery of a parcel are presented with the help of tables and charts.

    (See appendix 2)

    customer service through phone- have rated at the least important attributes on the selection criteria of

    courier service companies. The Mode (degree of repetition of a value) shows that most of the time these

    attributes have been rated at 6 and seven respectively. The respondents claimed that we have been

    receiving almost the same kind of treatment from all the couriers that these attributes seem of no much

    importance.

    EXPECTATIOSN OF FUTURE BUSINESS

    DOMESTIC INTERNATIONAL

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    15/27

    sThe future expectations regarding the business with the couriers will be increased for both domestic

    and international, as said by most of the respondents. This is a clear indication that there exist many

    opportunities that can be capitalized by DHL.

    COMPARISON FOR COURIER SERVICE COMPANY

    (Domestically)

    The overall comparison for the best courier service, domestically working, the gathered data describes

    that TCS is at the highest rank with 63 % response rate. The second one is OCS with 12 % response, but

    the difference is fairly great in comparison. This suggests that TCS is going to be the strongest

    competitor in the domestic market for DHL.

    COMPARISON FOR COURIER SERVICE COMPANY

    (Internationally)

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    16/27

    (1.00 is the code that was assigned to DHL in the analysis)

    * The Mode value indicates that DHL has been ranked at the best position by most of the respondents

    on suggested attributes.

    The details on each attribute are further elaborated in the (appendix3) that clearly indicates the position

    of DHL vis--vis its competitors. This shows that DHL has a good image in minds of people in the business

    that will assist in its better customer satisfaction.

    CROSS TABULATION ANALYSIS

    Through cross tabulation we analyzed the impact of attributes on the selection of courier companies by

    our respondents. For this purpose, we opted three attributes (Price, Reliability and faster delivery) and

    created a relation between them and the usage of courier services by

    Customers at first option and second one.

    Each attribute has importance from 1 (that is most important) to 4 (that is least important).

    The above table and chart describe that customers who are working with Leopard, OCS and TCS have

    price importance of higher side for the delivery of documents. The first two couriersAMS and Blue line

    are being used for only reason of price having greatest importance for those customers. The three

    major companies also are selected on the other basis as we see that price is ranked at two, three and

    four also. This means that these courier companies are not only price competitive but also offering good

    service as well.

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    17/27

    These customers are using the other companies, for delivery of documents, along with the first ones. In

    case of Leopard it is clear that these customers have ranked price as an important attribute. The rest of

    situation can be understood with the help of diagram. The next are TCS and OCS at total of ten each in

    the table that makes clear that these companies are going side by side with Leopard.

    In case of delivery of parcels again it is clear that Leopard is the key player in terms of price. All of therespondents who are doing business with Leopard have the price of delivery at the highest importance

    among the attributes for selection of courier Service Company.

    The other option, the people in the business are using, suggest that TCS is one that has comparable

    delivery rates. TCS is also favored due to the wide network it has inside the country. Now what DHL has

    to do is to get its position in these options as competitively as possible.

    On the reliability attribute the table explains that the most customers are doing business with TCS and

    all are ranked reliability at the higher position with respect to its importance. These customers believe

    that TCS is providing them a reliable and confident service.

    The second position holder is OCS with 14 respondents, and out of them 5 graded the reliability at no. 1

    on the importance scale. Then its Leopard with 12 respondents and four claiming to have the reliability

    at first rank on the selection criteria.

    For DHL it has to make something unique that really overcomes the customers preference plus some

    extra attribute that increases the reliability of its services than its competitors.

    In the next option regarding the courier company, Leopard is in the top position amongst the others wit

    respect to total usage. But, OCS has more reliability as described by most of the customers.

    Among the other attributes, faster delivery has been ranked at the most important one as well. Thetable and chart show that customers working with TCS all have ranked the faster delivery at upper most

    important ranks.

    The next company is Leopard with 5 respondents saying that faster delivery is most important attribute.

    For the next option the respondents have again ranked TCS at the first position with OCS being at the

    second.

    The importance of reliability with respect to courier shows that customers doing business with TCS andOCS are grading it at no.1. Whereas in case of Leopard the frequency is higher, but importance is at no.

    3.

    The second option describes that with reliability ranked at no. 1, FedEx is said to be the most efficient by

    the respondents. The customers of TCS are putting the reliability at no.3 that shows that for them other

    attributes are more important.

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    18/27

    In case of importance of faster delivery of parcels, its shown that most of the people doing business

    with Leopard are ranking it at no.2 and onwards. For customer of TCS and OCS its of first position.

    In case of faster delivery of parcels Leopard is selected the most given the highest importance. People

    doing business with TCS and FedEx have ranked the importance of faster delivery at no. 2 and 3

    respectively. This shows that Leopard is offering faster service as compared to other couriers.

    The most important and crucial variables, which can directly tell us that what people will do if DHL

    comes in market. The preferences of different customers with their reasons are as given:

    The situation is clear as under the light of above data. DHL is the most preferred courier company on the

    basis of its service attribute. There are other preferences too that arent very significant for description.

    The table and chart explicitly say everything.

    General findings through probing into customers

    These are the other important findings that emerged during the interview session with the respondents

    that also make some significance regarding the objective of the research. The most important findings

    are listed below:

    People use DHL when the document or a parcel seems to be very important and must reach the

    recipient on time,

    The customer in case of a foreign deal has asked to send the documents or parcels through DHL as per

    specifications of the agreement,

    Sometimes, customers use DHL when they are going to make a deal with a new customer in the

    foreign market, like in case of Grey cloth and yarn when sent for the first time for the buyer to inspect,

    Some customers use DHL just to create a strong image for their organization in front of its customers,

    especially if that is a new customer,

  • 8/10/2019 traduccion dhl.docx

    19/27

    Some people have preferred DHL in a way that they think they are in a position to make arrangements

    on price deals based on the volume of the business,

    People also think of DHL as part of TCS, not as separate company,

    One major objection that people raised was that they believe DHL will start its domestic operations for

    major cities whereas their destinations are small towns in the country,

    conclusion

    Through the analysis of the information that was gathered from the respondents we conclude that

    there exists a potential market that can be capitalized by DHL in domestic service. People have an

    image in their minds that DHL is a reliable and faster which provides best service than its competitors,

    but are hesitant to do business with DHL fearing that its prices will be high.

    DHL can expand its operations in the domestic market profitably if it makes these customers realize that

    the price they are paying is much lesser than the service they have been offered.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    On the basis of survey that was conducted on the customers and a structured interviewing done with

    the representatives of different courier companies, we intend to make the following recommendation

    to DHL for its domestic service operations to become fruitful. These recommendations also persist on

    the general probing during the interview with the respondents.

    DHL should increase its promotional efforts more vigorously that should aim at the following:

    Make the name DHL live in the minds of people as the first name that comes to their mind whenever

    they think of a courier service,

    Convince people that DHL provides more reliability with a guarantee and assure that the delivery will

    never lose its destinations,

    Sales promotion and personal selling efforts should support advertisement program to create a real

    synergistic effect on the cash streams. In this regards the couriers should be given training on personal

    selling skills to communicate the intentions of the company that can be of advantage to the customers,

    Being the most efficient company working for international deliveries, make people think DHL as the

    best alternative for the deliveries in domestic as well

    Due to the increasing price war in the domestic operations DHL has to bring prices that could meet the

    competition especially with OCS and TCS,

    DHL now launching its domestic operations should consider different discount schemes, by which it

    can create its initial customer base,

    20/27

    Special rate lists and brochures should be provided to the people about the current and future delivery

    rates,

    Assure that in the future DHL will be building a strong network for domestic operations as it has for its

    international deliveries.

    The wireless communication system that links the couriers with the office all the time he is in the field,

    is a competitive weapon but still the company should increase number of its couriers

    Make a system in a way that couriers should go to the customers themselves at times when the mail is

    ready for dispatch,

    Make a system in a way that couriers should go to the customers themselves at times when the mail is

    ready for dispatch,

    New service centers should be opened at different areas in the city that are closer to the customers in

    the marketplace.

    Suggestion boxes can be placed at all service centers and customers should be encouraged give

    suggestions.
