Typical Workday | Samsung

Being a Chief Manager, Mobile Business, says Akshay S. Rao, he is responsible for the launch of a new product here in India. There is a lot of planning needed before the launch of any product because of a competitive market.

He has to study the product detail six months before the launch and plan the rolling out. Once launched his work is mostly limited to operations of the product.

A typical job of a Category manager is about analysing data and having a vision about the future. His day at work starts with checking the data on sales target and updating changes if necessary. In most of the days, our team discuss future plans both short-term and long-term, analyse data, make decisions, make forecast reports and also coordinate with other functioning teams.

It is the vision, clarity about what we want to achieve in near future and analysing data to take a perfect course for marketing are the key elements in being successful in the business.
