Comparative study of two different companies, taking in consideration competency mapp

Dear Monica,

You are economical in giving information and do not answer the questions raised. If required please drop me a private message giving as much information as you can about what you have done so far and clearly raising your doubt.

sir i am trying to understand why are companies so very much on com map and how does it affect the overall performance of the organization..i also want to make a comparative study of other co. i.e. power grid which does not go for this and how far it is afeected due to this and why should it adopt this HR policy...i have started with the project..done a detailed study on ntpc...now trying to study the other company...sir u seem to be apprehensive about the topic the whole project..may i know if anything is wrong!!

Dear Monica

In my opinion BOTH the companies are NOT in Thermal Power business.

NTPC is the largest producer of Thermal Power in India and has a world ranking.

Whereas Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. has never "produced" a single MegaWatt of power; because it is NOT in the business of "generation of power".

Its mission is : establishment and operation of regional and national power grids to facilitate transfer of electric power within and across the regions with reliability, security and economy, on sound commercial principles.

It functions as a "Distributor" only. It deals in 'transmission of power' only and NOT generation of power.

You can study n number of companies and their practice of "competency mapping"; just don't claim that your study is "between two thermal power companies- NTPC and power Grid Co."

I compliment your enthusiasm; but you must get your basics right, before embarking on such grandiose project work.

Warm regards.

thank you so very much for your feedback sir..now i am clear about what is to ba done...could you please suggest a company i can work upon as a competitor of ntpc which does not follow com map..........

dear Monica,

If you want some quarry for your any project you should go any thermal power plant visit &collect dataes about your quarry

Dear Monica

It is difficult to find a worthy competitor to NTPC, as far as thermal power generation in India is concerned.

Power generation in India has been regulated by Govt. and it was only after 1991, that liberalization policy of the Govt. threw open this sector to new private participants.

Thermal power generation as you know, is dependent on coal, naptha/oil and gas as raw material and additionally abundant water. Coal blocks have to be allocated by the Ministry of Caol, for naptha/oil, gas based projects pipelines of thousands of miles have to constructed; clearance from Ministry of Forest and Environment needs to be obtained, land has to be acquired through State Govt. All these activities take years.

All steel plants, aluminium plants, cement plants etc. have their own captive thermal power plants with power purchase and sale arrangements with State Govt. Electricity Boards.

Presently many new companies are coming up in this sector, which will start generation in a few years; namely :

GMR Group
Essar Group
Reliance Energy Ltd.
Adani Power
Lanco Infratech
JSPL etc.

Presently, the thermal power plants are operated by state electricity Boards. e.g. Maharashtra Electricity Board (Chandrapur, Nasik, Dahanu ), Gujarat Electricity Board (Dhuvaran, Surat), Punjab Electricity Board, Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (Tuticorin, Mettur) etc.
Others are Tata Power Corporation, Damodar Valley Corporation (has both hydel and thermal power plants), Neyveli Lignite etc.

None is comparable to NTPC.

In my opinion, since the core subject is "Competency Mapping" you can go ahead studying NTPC and any other large company in another sector; and study how they apply it.

If you think that "competency mapping" is the ONLY factor responsible for the success of NTPC; and you want to compare another company which does not practices "competency mapping" to show that it is the reason behind its 'failure'; then it is the opinion of your guide and you.

I do not personally subscribe to your theory and the way it is being conducted.
I do not agree with your present research design, nor the research hypothesis.

Research work is a serious business and should be taken up seriously.
Just forming a hypothesis and somehow trying to fit things into it is not something that I recommend or approve - research for the sake of research.

Regards.

thank you sir..actually had little idea about how to go about,....thank you so much.. ll study extensively the use of Com map in NTPC....and all the methodologies adopted... another sector??which sector should i refer to??
