other hand, advertising denotes a specific attempt to popularize

aspecific product or service at a certain cost. It is a method of

publicity. It alwaysintentional openly sponsored by the sponsor and

non- personal communication about anorganisation and or its

word advertising is derived from the Latin word viz, "advertero"

"ad"meaning towards and "verto" meeting towards and "verto"

meaning. "I turn"literally specific thing". Simply stated advertising is

the art "says green." Advertising is a generalterm for and all forms of

Advertising has been defined by different experts. Some of the

quoteddefinition are : American marketing association has defined

advertising as "any paid formof non personal presentation and

promotion of ideas, goods or services by anidentified sponsor. The

medium used are print broad cast and direct. Stanton deserves that

"Advertising consists of all the activities involved inpresenting to a

group a non- personal, oral or visual openly, sponsored

messageregarding a product, service, or idea. This message called an

advertisement isdisseminated through one or more media and is paid

for by the identified sponsor.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 10

11. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Advertising is any paid form of

non – personal paid of presentation of ideasgoods or services by an

identified sponsor. Advertising is a "non- personal paid message of

commercial significanceabout a product, service or company made

to a market by an identified sponsor. In developing an advertising

programme, one must always start byidentifying the market needs

and buyer motives and must make five majordecisions commonly

referred as 5M (mission, money message, media andmeasurement)

of advertising.Basic Features of Advertising On the basis of various

definitions it has certain basic features such as :1. It is a mass non-

personal communication.2. It is a matter of record.3. It persuades

buyers to purchase the goods advertised.4. It is a mass paid

communication.5. The communication media is diverse such as print

(newspapers and magazines)6. It is also called printed salesmanship

because information is spread by means of the written and printed

work and pictures so that people may be induced to act upon

it.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 11

12. Projectsformba.blogspot.comFUNCTIONS OF ADVERTISING

For many firms advertising is the dominant element of the

promotional mix –particulars for those manufacturers who produce

convenience goods such asdetergent, non – prescription drugs,

cosmetics, soft drinks and grocery products.Advertising is also used

extensively by maters of automobiles, home appliances,etc, to

introduce new product and new product features its uses its

attributes, ptavailability etc. Advertising can also help to convince

potential buyers that a firms productor service is superior to

competitors product in make in quality, in price etc. it cancreate

brand image and reduce the likelihood of brand switching even

whencompetitors lower their prices or offer some attractive

incentives. Advertising is particularly effective in certain other

spheres too such as :i) When consumer awareness of products or

service is at a minimum.ii) When sales are increasing for all terms in

an industry.iii) When a product is new and incorporates

technological advance not strong and.iv) When primary buying

motive exists.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 12

13. Projectsformba.blogspot.comIt performance the following

functions :i) Promotion of salesii) Introduction of new product

awareness.iii) Mass production facilitationiv) Carry out researchv)

Education of people.TYPES OF ADVERTISING Broadly speaking,

advertising may be classified into two categories viz.,product and

institutional advertising.a) Product Advertising The main purpose of

such advertising is to inform and stimulate the marketabout the

advertisers products of services and to sell these. Thus type

ofadvertising usually promote specific, trended products in such a

manner as to makethe brands seam more desirable. It is used by

business government organizationand private non-business

organizations to promote the uses features, images andbenefits of

their services and products. Product advertising is sub-divided

intodirect action and indirect action advertising, Direct action

product advertisingwages the buyer to take action at once, ice he

seeks a quick response to theadvertisement which may be to order

the product by mail, or mailing a coupon, orhe may promptly

purchase in a retail store in response to prince reduction

duringclearance sale.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 13

14. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Product advertising is sub-divided

into direct & indirect action advertising &product advertising aims at

informing persons about what a products is what itdoes, how it is

used and where it can be purchased. On the other hand

selectiveadvertising is made to meet the selective demand for a

particular brand or type isproduct.b) Institutional Advertising : It is

designed to create a proper attitude towards the sellers to build

companyimage or goodwill rather than to sell specific product or

service. Its purpose is tocreate a frame of mind and to implant

feeling favourable to the advertiserscompany. Its assignment is to

make friends for the institution or organization. It is sub-divided into

three categories : patronage, public, relations andpublic service

institutional advertising.i) In patronage institutional advertising the

manufacturer tells his prospects and customer about himself his

policies and lives personnel. The appeals to the patronage motivation

of buyers. If successful, he convince buyers that his operation

entitles him to the money spent by them.ii) Public relations

institutional advertising is used to create a favourable image of the

firm among employees, stock-holders or the general public.iii)

Public service institutional advertising wages public support.c) Other

Types :Projectsformba.blogspot.com 14

15. Projectsformba.blogspot.com The other types are as follows : i)

Consumer advertising ii) Comparative advertising iii) Reminder

advertising iv) Reinforcement advertisingADVERTISING

OBJECTIVES The long term objectives of advertising are broad and

general, and concernthe contribution advertising should make to the

achievement of overall companyobjectives. Most companies regard

advert singly main objective as hat of provingsupport to personal

selling and other forms of promotion. But advertising is ahighly

versatile communications tools and may therefore by used for

achievingvarious short and long term objectives. Among these

objectives are the following :1. To do the entire selling job (as in

mail order marketing).2. To introduce a new product (by building

brand awareness among potential buyers).3. To force middlemen to

handle the product (pull strategy).4. To build brand preference 9by

making it more difficult for middleman to sell substitutes).5. To

remind users to buy the product (retentive

strategy).Projectsformba.blogspot.com 15

16. Projectsformba.blogspot.com6. To publicize some change in

marketing strategy (e.g., a price change, a new model or an

improvement in the product).7. To provide rationalization (i.e.

Socially acceptable excuses).8. To combat or neutralize competitors

advertising.9. To improve the moral of dealers and/or sales people

(by showing that the company is doing its share of promotion).10.

To acquaint buyers and prospects with the new uses of the product

(to extend the PLC).BENEFITS The functions of advertisement, and

that purpose its ethics, may bediscussion below :1. It leads to

cheaper prices. "No advertiser could live in the highly competitive

arena of modern business if his methods of selling were more costly

than those of his rivals."2. It acquaints the public with the features of

the goods and advantages which buyers will enjoy.3. It increases

demand for commodities and this results in increased production.

Advertising : a) Creates and stimulates demand opens and expands

the markets; b) Creates goodwill which loads to an increase in sales

volume;Projectsformba.blogspot.com 16

17. Projectsformba.blogspot.com c) Reduces marketing costs,

particularly product selling costs. d) Satisfied consumer demands by

placing in the market what he needs.4. It reduces distribution

expenses in as much as it plays the part of thousands of salesman at a

home. Information on a mass scale relieves the necessity of

expenditure on sales promotion staff, and quicker and wider

distribution leads to diminishing of the distribution costs.5. It ensures

the consumers better quality of goods. A good name is the breath of

the life to an advertiser.6. By paying the way for large scale

production and increased industrialization, advertising contributes its

quota to the profit of the companies the prosperity of the shareholder

the uplifts of the wage earners and the solution of he unemployment

problem.7. It raises the standard of living of the general public by

impelling it to use to articles of modern types which may add to his

material well being. "Modern advertising has made the luxuries of

yesterday the necessities of today ..................... It is a positive

creative force in business. It makes two blades of grass grow in the

business world where one grew before.8. It establishes the goodwill

of the concern for the test articles produced by it and in course of

time they sell like not cakes consumer search for satisfaction of their

needs when they purchase goods what they want from its beauty,

superiority, economy, comfort, approval, popularity, power, safety,

convenience, sexual gratification and so on. The

manufacturesProjectsformba.blogspot.com 17

18. Projectsformba.blogspot.com therefore tries to improve this

goodwill and reputation by knowing the buyer behaviour. To sum up

it may be said that advertising aims at committing the producers,

educating the consumer, supplementing the salesman converting the

producer and the dealer to eliminate the competitor, but above all it

is a link between the produce and the consumer.WHY & WHEN TO

ADVERTISE Advertising as a tool to marketing not only reaches

those who buy , but alsothose whose opinions or authority is counted

for example a manufacturer of marbletiles and building boards

advertises not only to people who intend to build housesbut also to

architect and engineers. While the manufacturers of

pharmaceuticalsproducts advertise to doctors as well as to the

general public. At time it isnecessary for a manufacturer or a concern

to advertise things which it does not sellbut which when sold

stimulates the sales of its own product. There are concernslike

electric heaters, iron etc. because the use of these increases the

demand fortheir products. Advertising should be used only when it

promises to bring good result moreeconomically and efficiently as

compared to other means of selling. There aregoods for which much

time and efforts are required in creating a demand bysending

salesman to prospective buyers than by simply advertising them. In

theearly days of the cash register in America it was sold by specially

trained salesmanwho called on the prospective users and had the

difficult task of convincing themProjectsformba.blogspot.com 18

19. Projectsformba.blogspot.comthat they could no longer carry on

with the old methods, and that they urgentlyneeded a cash register.

In our country certain publishers have found it less costly tosell their

books by sending salesman from house to house among

prospectivebuyers than to advertise them. In these two examples the

cost of creating demandwould be too high if attempted by

advertising alone under such circumstancesadvertising is used to

make the salesman acceptable to the people they call upon toincrease

the confidence of the public in the house. Naturals when there are

goodprofits competitors will be attracted and they should be kicked

out as and whensufficient capital is available by advertising on a

large scale. Immediate result maynot justify the increased

expenditure but it will no doubt secure future sales.DESIGNING

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN: An advertising is an organized series

of advertising messages. It has beendefined as "a planned, co-

ordinate series of promotional efforts built around acentral theme

and designed to reach a specified goals." In other words, it is

anorderly planned effort consisting of related but self – contained

and independentadvertisements. The campaign may appear in one

more media . it has single themeor keynote idea and a single

objective or goal. Thus, "a unified theme of contentprovides

psychological continuity throughout the campaign while visual and

oralsimilarity provide physical continuity. In short run, all campaign

want pre-determined psychological reaction in the long run,

practically all campaigns havesales goal.The series of advertisements

used in the campaign must be integrated with thesales promotional

efforts and with the activities of the sales

force.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 19

20. Projectsformba.blogspot.comCampaign vary in length some may

run only for a few days, other for weeks, yetother for a season or the

entire year. Usually a range of 3 to 6 months includesmany

campaigns. Many factors influences campaign length such as

competitorsadvertising media, policies, seasonal falls curves of the

product involved, the sizeof the advertising funds, campaign

objectives and the nature of the advertisersmarketing

programme.OBJECTIVES OF CAMPAIGN The advertising

campaign, especially those connected with the consumersaims at

achieving these objectives : i) To announce a new product or

improve product. ii) To hold consumers patronage against intensified

campaign use. iii) To inform consumers about a new product use. iv)

To teach consumers how to use product. v) To promote a contest or a

premium offer. vi) To establish a new trade regional, and vii) To

help solve a coca regional problem.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 20

21. Projectsformba.blogspot.com The institutional advertising

campaign on the other hand, have these objectives. i) To create a

corporate personality or image. ii) To build a company prestige. iii)

To keep the company name before the public. iv) To emphasize

company services and facilities. v) To enable company salesman to

see top executive consistently when making sales calls, and vi) To

increase friendliness and goodwill towards the company. Developing

the campaign programmes. The advertising campaigns areprepared

by the advertising agencies, which work an behalf of their clients

whomanufacture product or service enterprises, which have services

to sell. The wordcampaign is used because advertising agencies

approach their task with a sumBlanca of military fanfare in which

one frequently hears words like target audiencelogistics, zero in and

tactics and strategy etc. The account executive co-ordinates the work

in a campaign. The creation ofan advertising campaign starts with an

exploration of consumers habits andpsychology in relation to the

product. This requires the services of statisticaltrained in survey

techniques and of others trained in social psychology.Statisticians

select samples for survey which are done by trained interviewers

whovisits individuals, included in the sample and ask question to

find out about theirtaste and habits.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 21

22. Projectsformba.blogspot.com This enquiry often leads to a

change in a familiar product. For instancebathing soap may come in

several new colours or cigarette in a new packet ortalcum powder in

another size. Such interviews are often quite essential to find out the

appeal of advertisingmessage for a product that would be most

effective with consumers. David Ogilvy describes a consumers

survey to find out the most meaningfulbenefit in which women are

interested when they buy a face cream. The largestpreference as

given to "Cleans deep into pores" followed in order of importance

byprevent dryness, "is a complete beauty treatment, recommended

by skin doctors"makes skin look younger contains estrogenic

hormones, pasteurized for purity,prevent skin form aging, smooth

our wrinkles ogilvy concludes, form this votingcome one of Helena

Rubinsteins most successful face creams. We christened itdeep

cleanser, thus, building the winning form into name of the product.

After getting the data the account executive puts together the

essentialelements of his clients brief, interprets the research findings

and draws up what hecalls the "advertising strategy".STAGE IN

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN Several steps are required to

developed an advertising campaign the numberof stages and exact

order in which they are carried out may vary according to

anorganisations resources, the nature of its product and the types of

audiences to bereached. The major stages/step are :1. Identifying and

analyzing the advertising.2. Defining advertising

objects.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 22

23. Projectsformba.blogspot.com3. Creating the advertising

platform.4. Determining the advertising appropriation.5. Selection

media plan.6. Creating the advertising message.7. Evaluating the

effectiveness of advertising.8. Organizing of advertising campaign.1.

Identifying & Analyzing the Advertising target : Under this step it is

to decided as to whom is the firm trying to reach withthe message.

The advertising target is the group of people towards

whichadvertisements are aimed at four this purpose complete

information about themarket target i.e. the location and geographical

location of the people, thedistribution of age, income, sex,

educational level, and consumers attitudesregarding purchase and

use both of the advertising product and competingproducts is needed

with better knowledge of market target, effective

advertisingcampaign can be developed on the other hand, if the

advertising target is notproperly identified and analyzed the

campaign is does likely to be effective.2. Determining the

advertising objectives : The objectives of advertisement must be

specifically and clearly defined inmeasurable terms such as "to

communicate specific qualities about a particularsproduct to gain a

certain degree of penetration in a definite audience of a

givenProjectsformba.blogspot.com 23

24. Projectsformba.blogspot.comsize during a given period of time",

increase sales by a certain percentage orincrease the firms market

shares." The goals of advertising may be to : i) Create a favourable

company image by acquainting the public with the services offered

available to the employees and its achievements. ii) Create

consumers or distributor awareness by encouraging requests

providing information about the types of products sold; providing

information about the benefits to be gained from use of the

companys products or services; and indicating how product (or

services) can be used; iii) Encourage immediate sales by

encouraging potential purchasers through special sales contests,

getting recommendation of professional people about companys

products etc. iv) It secures action by the reader through associating

ideas, repetition of the same name in different contexts, immediate

action appeal.3. Creating the Advertising platform : An advertising

platform consists of the basic issues or selling points that

anadvertiser wishes to include in the advertising campaign. A single

advertisement inan advertising campaign may contain one or more

issues in the platform. Amotorcycle producers advertising platform

should contain issues which are ofimportance to consumers filling

and such issues also be those which thecompetitive product do not

posses.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 24

25. Projectsformba.blogspot.com4. Determining the Advertising

Appropriation: The advertising appropriation is the total amount of

money which marketerallocates. For advertising for a specific time

period. Determining the campaignbudget involves estimating now

much it will cost to achieve the campaignsobjectives. If the

campaign objectives are profit relating and stated quantitatively,then

the amount of the campaign budget is determined by estimating the

proposedcampaigns effectiveness in attaining them. If campaigns

object is to build aparticular type of company image, then there is

little basis for predicting either thecampaigns effectiveness or

determining the budget required.5. Selecting the Media : Media

selection is an important since it costs time space and money

variousfactors influence this selection, the most fundamental being

the nature of the targetmarket segment, the type of the product and

the cost involved. The distinctivecharacteristics of various media are

also important. Therefore management shouldfocus its attention on

media compatibility with advertising objectives. Media Form1. Press

27. Projectsformba.blogspot.com6. Creating the Advertising

Messages : This is an important stage of advertising campaign. The

contents of themessage has to be very carefully drafted in the

advertisement. Characteristics ofperson in the advertising target

influence the message content and form. Anadvertisers must use

words, symbols and illustration that are meaningful, familiarand

attractive to those persons. The type of media also influence the

content andform of the message.7. Evaluating the Effectiveness of

Advertising : The effectiveness of advertising is measured for a

variety of reasons : a) To determine whether a campaign

accomplished its advertising objects. b) To evaluate the relative

effectiveness of several advertisements to ascertain which copy,

illustrations or layout is best. c) To determine the strengths and

weaknesses of various media and media plans. In other words,

measuring advertising effectiveness is needed to determinewhether

proposed advertisement should be used and if they will be now they

mightbe improved; and whether going campaign should be stopped,

continued orProjectsformba.blogspot.com 27

28. Projectsformba.blogspot.comchanged. In accomplishing these

purposes, pretests and post test are conducted.The former tests

before exposing target consumers to advertisements and the

letterafter consumers have been exposed to advertisements and the

letter afterconsumers have been exposed to advertisements. For an

effective advertising programme, the advertising manager requires

abasic understanding of the medium that is going to carry it. For

effectively using advertising the management must test advertising

toknow which of the advertisement to know which of the

advertisement have provedprofitable and why as compared to

11. Projectsformba.blogspot.comCelebrity Testimonial When companies cast a celebrity in its advertisement For example Ali zafar, reema, meera and amna huq in LUX ADD now daysRetail Advertising When shop keepers advertise their shops or malls For example PaceInteractive Advertising Contact through the telephonic conversation to sell the product. For example It happens basically in business to business advertisement like when pharmaceutical companies advertise their new medicines to the doctors.Advertising a Service Instead Of A Product Advertising services is one of the most difficult type of advertising. You dont have a tangible product you can put in someones hand. They cant touch it, feel it, see it or smell it. For example Advertisement for new admission opens in university.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 11

12. Projectsformba.blogspot.com REASONS TO ADVERTISEAdvertising is such an important thing for a business to do, advertising is not justimportant for businesses but for things that offer services. Advertising tells people aboutyour product or products so they can be sold. Big companies such as McDonalds andColgate Palmolive dont need to advertise because their products are already knownthroughout the world, but when these two first came out they would have had to havespent millions of pounds on advertising to get them to the stage where they are now.The following may be the maximum reasons to advertise…Projectsformba.blogspot.com 12

13. Projectsformba.blogspot.com • Produce leads • Educate prospects about the benefits you offer • Expand into new markets • Influence the people who influence others (the trendsetters) • Make your name known to people who have never heard of you • Pre-sell

your offering (prior to the sales persons call) • Expand upon a public relations story • Tell the story of your company • Add authority to your message (by putting it into print, people equate advertising with success) • Build your corporate identity • Build confidence in your product/services • Dispel an ugly rumor • Keep your name in the forefront of your customers minds • Head off competitors • Go after competitors business • Prove your quality with success stories • Make your stockholders happy • Assert your leadership • Maintain a constant public presence • Help your direct mail pay off • Announce the existence of your product • Gain credibility • Become a brand name • Establish a niche • Highlight testimonials from satisfied customers • Test something • Create a desire to buy • Make sales • Obtain names for your prospect or customer mailing list • Inform many people at the same time • Motivate people to call or e-mail or send coupon • Engage in research by studying the profiles of respondents • Prove your superiority • ... to earn a profitProjectsformba.blogspot.com 13

14. Projectsformba.blogspot.com PROS AND CONS OF ADVERTISEMENTSAdvertising - Good or Bad?"Advertising - Good or Bad" In todays society, one must consider – Is there any advantage ofadvertising? In many cases it is only disadvantageProjectsformba.blogspot.com 14

15. Projectsformba.blogspot.com- An annoying hindrance in our daily lives. It gets on our nerves, distorts thetruth, and adds to the cost of the product. Advertising is designed for onepurpose - to sell. To achieve this goal, advertises are willing to stretch anddistort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. Forexample, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product bystating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is notlikely to be better than any other - the tests themselves doubtlesslyconducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at leastsomething is superior about the product, even if it is only the color. Theseadvertisements are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal truth"- the truth is exactly what the words say, although people misinterprets themessage by using conversational logic as something different - somethingbetter. By using ingenious tactics like these, the populace is deceived intobuying a product that may not do what is required, or a product which abuyer may have never really needed. This is why advertising is a bad thing,for our society.FOLLOWING ARE THE BASIC ADVANTAGES ANDDISADVANTAGES OF ADVERTISMENT. Advantages DisadvantagesProjectsformba.blogspot.com 15

We just want to reach at those results which tell us that which things influence thefemales buying. Is it advertisement, quality, appearance or any other thing…?So our basic research is on a situation in which we observe the buying behavior offemales having different taste, different preferences, and living in different cities ofPakistan and are of different ages.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 21

Projectsformba.blogspot.com PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION: “It means to seek information in order to know more about what we observed”Here we are working on a broader term that which factors influence the females buyingbehavior so we have to collect data from different tools to confirm our observation thatwhich things actually influence the female buying and how much advertisement play rolein their buying behavior.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 22

Unstructured interviews STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS:“In structured interviews the interviewer asks those questions which are pre planned. All the questions are well prepared and the interviewer can easily ask the questions in a series from an appropriate Respondent. It is also called formal interview”. UNSTRUCTURED INTERVIEW: “In unstructured interviews normally the interviewer asks the questions without any predetermined sequence. The question which comes first in the mind of the interviewer will be asked first. It is also called informal interview.”For the purpose of collecting the preliminary data about our observation, we conductedsome unstructured interviews from following 2 SECTORS… A. EDUCATIONAL SECTOR B. ADVERTISING AGENCY EDUCATIONAL SECTOR: FROM EDUCATIONAL SECTOR WE SELECTED THE FEMALE MEMBERS OF FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS…Projectsformba.blogspot.com 23 Structured interviews 23. Projectsformba.blogspot.comPrimary Data can be collected by the following two ways;1- Interviews2- Literature Survey 1. INTERVIEWS: Interviews are conducted for the following reasons… • To bring preliminary issues to the surface so that researcher can determine about variables of interest. • To understand the scenario of situation. • To explore the variables in the situation.INTERVIWS MAY BE OF TWO TYPES:

24. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 1. THE WELL KNOWNED FEMALE TEACHERS OF UNIVERSITY OF THE LAHORE 2. THE TEACHERS OF AN INSTITUTION, PAK AIMS IN LAHORE 3. THE FEMALE TEACHERS OF D & E ACADEMY GUJRANWALA. 4. FROM THE FEMALE STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY OF THE LAHORE, PAK AIMS AND D & E ACADEMY.According to the structured and unstructured interviews which we have conducted to theabove females, we collected the following information about our situation problem… • Females mostly prefer the quality of the product • Advertisement effects their buying but the routine products which they use to buy from many years, from them they don’t see that for which product advertisement is good. they just buy that product as routine E.g. Max bar, head & shoulders shampoo… • Females are more attractive towards products like cosmetics, clothing, shoes… Especially working women • Advertisement is also the biggest cause to influence the buying behavior of females but advertisements should be approved by the marketing departments of companies. ADVERTISING AGENCYProjectsformba.blogspot.com 24

25. Projectsformba.blogspot.com2. LITERATURE SURVEYS:It is also a part of Primary Data Collection. The purpose of literature review is to ensurethat no variable is ignored that has been consider important in the past.Literature Survey can be defined in the following manner;Projectsformba.blogspot.com 25

26. Projectsformba.blogspot.com “Documentation of comprehensive review of published and unpublished work from secondary sources of data in area of interest”As far as our topic is concerned, we selected the following literatures from internet forthe purpose of preliminary data collection… 1) AAEC 3100 Food and Fiber Marketing Dr. Steven C. Turner Chapter 6 Analyzing Consumer Markets & Psychological 2) From the study of an article published in the site… www.csustan.edu/market/petrosky/Old3410/34Lect5CB/tsld0...In this article we found the following things according to consumer buying behavior…Characteristics Affecting Consumer Behavior Buyer Psychological Personal Social CultureProjectsformba.blogspot.com 26 Personal Social Cultural Buying BehaviorIn which we found the following data thatMajor Factors which Influence the Consumer Behavior can be…

27. Projectsformba.blogspot.comFactors Affecting Consumer Behavior: Culture • Social Class • People within a social class tend to exhibit similar buying behavior. • Occupation • SOURCE of Income • Education • WealthMost basic cause of a persons wants and behavior • Values • Perceptions • Subculture • Groups of people

with shared value systems based on common life experiences. • Mature ConsumersFactors Affecting Consumer Behavior: Social • Reference Group influence: • Membership Groups: • Primary and Secondary • Non-membership groups: • Aspiration and Dissociative • More important with publicly consumed products • Family influences: • Stage of the family lifecycle • Buying Roles in the family Factors Affecting Consumer Behavior: Psychological • Psychological • Factors • Motivation • Perception • LearningProjectsformba.blogspot.com 27

28. Projectsformba.blogspot.com • Beliefs and • AttitudesSo according to these literature surveys and from the interviews, we confirm ourobservation that there are some specific things which highly influence theconsumer’s buying behavior, especially of female customers.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 28

29. Projectsformba.blogspot.com PROBLEM DEFINITIONAfter the preliminary data collection, we can now develop a statement to explain thebasic problem.Any gap between desired situation and actual situation is called Problem and briefstatement that explains any thing is called Definition. So, Problem Definition means:“A statement that explains what the real problem is, what types of factors are involved in this problem and finally what are consequences of a problem.”Projectsformba.blogspot.com 29

30. Projectsformba.blogspot.comAfter going through interviews and literature review we check the following essentialelements of Problem Definition: 1) Antecedents(Contributing Factors) 2) Real Problem(What is Wrong) 3) Consequences(Results)The problem definition of our project can be explained with the help of followingdiagram: (Real situation) (Consequences) EFFECTS ON BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF PRICE AND QUALITY ORIENTED FEMALES ECONOMY 1- PRICE 2- QUALITY 3- ADVERTISEMENT (Antecedents) 4- IMPORTED PRODUCTS 5- PURCHASING POWER 6- STATUSANTECEDENTS: Antecedents are the contributing factors which are responsible for the real problem. In our project antecedents are1- PRICE2- QUALITY3- ADVERTISEMENT4- IMPORTED PRODUCTS5- PURCHASING POWER6- STATUSProjectsformba.blogspot.com 30

31. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThese are the antecedents because these are the basic reasons behind the buying behaviorof females. These above antecedents effects directly or indirectly to the buying behaviorof females.REAL PROBLEM: “As we know that well defined problem is half solved and symptoms are not the real problems.”Real problem is that situation which results from the

antecedents or contributing factors.So in our project real situation which is created from the contributing factors is:“How the buying behavior of females is influencing? Which factors influence it and is theadvertisement a basic factor”?CONSEQUENCES: “Consequences are the results of real problem”In our project consequence is “The economy will be price and quality oriented”this consequence is the result of the preliminary data collection as when we conductinterviews, mostly females think that they prefer the quality from all other factors.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 31

32. Projectsformba.blogspot.com THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK “It is a logical developed, described & elaborated network of associations among variables that have been identified through interviews, observation & literature survey”Variables: Projectsformba.blogspot.com 32

Imported products Now in the research process we’ll see that which are the basic most important factors which mostly influence the buying behavior of females. 3. Moderating Variable “The variable which has strong contingent effect on the relationship of dependent Substitutes Purchasing power Advertisement Quality Price Extraneous variable1. Dependent variable “Any variable that will depend on others for its values”In our project, our dependent variable is“BUYING BEHAVIOR OF FEMALES”Now we’ll explain the effect of other factors on this dependent variable in detail in ourwhole project.2. Independent Variables: It is the variable on which the dependant variable depends upon for its value “The major causes of a problem are called independent variables.” In our project, our independent variables are: Intervening variable Moderating variable Independent variable Dependent variable 33. Projectsformba.blogspot.com The identification of key variables is very important in every research study.It can be defined as: “A variable is anything that takes different values.” Types of Variables: & independent variable” It is also called second independent variable. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 33

Sales taxAs sales tax has little effect on the buying behavior so it can be easily ignoredHere we show the relationship of different types of variables diagrammaticallyProjectsformba.blogspot.com 34 Willingness to buyThe effect of these variables can only be felt but we can not measure them quantitatively.These variables contribute an important role on the creation of the problem.5. Extraneous Variables: “There are infinite numbers of factors which may have impact on the situation but we will ignore these factors by assuming them as constant are called extraneous variables.” In our project extraneous variable is as follows Status consciousness Above is the moderating variable because it has a strong contingent

effect on therelationship of dependent variables and independent variables. As if marketingdepartments make the good strategies to attract the customers then they can increase theirsale volume.4. Intervening Variables“There are some factors which have effect on the situation but we can not measure them quantitatively, we can just feel their effect.”These variables will be created automatically by the working of independent variables.In our project intervening variables are as follows: Role of marketing departments of the companies 34. Projectsformba.blogspot.comIn our project, our moderating variables are:

RELATIONAL This can be further classified as… o Co relational hypothesis o Casual hypothesis.Co relational Hypothesis:“When a statement will create relationship among more than two factors or when causes of a problem are more than one, the hypothesis about such a problem will be called as co relational hypothesis.” OR “When there is only one problem and there are a lot of factors or variables which Increase the problem is also called Co relational Hypothesis”.In our study there is the situation of buying behavior of females and there are manyindependent variables which influence the buying behavior of females. Now we will checkthe relationship amongst those variables by creating the Hypothesis and applying certainStatistical tools which will tell us that which factor is strongly in connection with thebuying behavior of females.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 37 DESCRIPTIVE 37. Projectsformba.blogspot.com HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT “A hypothesis is a logically conjectured relationship between two or more variables expressed in the form of a testable statement.” OR “A statement whose validity will be confirm in future by applying different statistical tools”So, in hypothesis we confirmed the validity of any statement after the experiments or datacollection.KINDS OF HYPOTHESIS:

38. Projectsformba.blogspot.comSo the following is the creation of Hypothesis of different factors that affect the buyingbehavior of females…Female preferences:Hο: females do not prefer quality of the product while buyingH1: females prefer quality of the products while buying.Influence of advertisements:Hο: Advertisement has no

influence on the buying behavior of femalesH1: advertisement has influence on the buying behavior of females.Status consciousnessHο: females do not prefer status/self image while buying.H1: females prefer status/ self image while buying.Negative effects of advertisements:Hο: there is not any negative effect of advertisement on the buying behavior of femalesH1: there is any negative effect on the buying behavior of females.Advertisements of substitutes:Hο: advertisements of the substitutes do not affect the popularity of the product.H1: advertisements of the substitutes affect the popularity of the product.Imported goods:Hο: imported good are not more attractive for femalesH1: imported goods are more attractive for females.Satisfaction level:Hο: good advertisements are not the basic cause of satisfaction of females towards consumption of goods.H1: good advertisements are the basic cause of satisfaction of females towards consumption of goods.Advertised products:Hο: females do not prefer the advertised products on necessities of lifeH1: females prefer the advertised products on the necessities of life.Product success or failure:Hο: advertisements can not become the cause of any product success or failure.H1: advertisements can become the cause of product failure or success.Demand of the product:Hο: advertisements cannot create the demand of any product.H1: advertisements can create the demand of any product.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 38


40. Projectsformba.blogspot.com RESEARCH DESIGN:It is a major and pivotal step of business research. The step involves the overall schemeabout data collection.“Research design is a plan and structure of investigation to obtain answer to researchquestion. It is overall scheme and program of research which includes an outline of whatthe researcher will do from developing hypothesis and to the final analysis of data”. Research design constitutes the blue print for collection, measurement and analysis ofdata. R.D is plan and structure of investigation to obtain answer to research questions.PURPOSEOF TYPE OFSTUDY INVESTI RESEAR GATION CHER INTERFE RENCE STUDY SETTING UNIT OF ANALYSI S TIME HORIZO N SAMPLIN G DATA COLLEC MEASURE TION MENT OF METHOD MEASURE S S Projectsformba.blogspot.com 40

41. Projectsformba.blogspot.com PURPOSE OF STUDY: In the purpose of study, researcher defines the purpose behind the research. These may be 4 types of purposes: 1. exploration 2. description 3. hypothesis 4. case study Here in our research process, our purpose of study is to evaluate that WHAT affects the female’s buying behavior, WHICH are the factors, which influence the buying

behavior of females, HOW advertisements affect the buying behavior of females. So we can say that as we are explaining an existing situation so our purpose of study is Description.” Objective of descriptive study is to learn the who, how, what, when, where of a topic. TYPES OF INVESTIGATIONS: Investigation is conducted to complete the research process efficiently. Investigations may be of two types: 1. casual investigation 2. co relational investigation CO RELATIONAL INVESTIGATION: The investigation which is conducted to explain the effect of different variables on the situation is called co relational investigation.In simple words, we can say that when there are more than one reasons of a problem it iscalled co relational investigation.In our research process,Our type of investigation is “Non Casual” because there is more than one reason whichinfluences the buying behavior of females. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 41

42. Projectsformba.blogspot.comRESEARCHER INTERFERENCE:In researcher interference we see that which type of study is going to be conduct by ourgroup. Either it is 1. co relational study, in which minimum involvement of researcher is required because it is based on findings of others, or 2. Casual study, in which researcher involvement is more. As we are conducting research through the findings of others so our involvement is minimum in the findings of research. STUDY SETTING: It means in which type of environment we’ve conducted our research process. The study setting may be of 2 types: a. Contrived This can be further classified as o Lab experiment. b. non-contrived This can also be further classified as o Field study. o Field experiment. Non-contrived: “When the research is conducted in natural or normal environment, it will be called non contrived study.” Normally, this type of study is conducted inside the organization. Field Study: “When the researcher has to co related the factors then investigation out side the organization is called as Field Study.” So, the type of our study setting is non-contrived and during our research we also conducted Field Study.

Non Probability Sampling Projectsformba.blogspot.com 43 Probability Sampling OrganizationsIt depends upon the nature of problem that is being investigated. In our research process, we’ve gathered the data from INDIVIDUALS in the form of questionnaires and from ORGANIZATIONS in the form of interviews. TIME HORIZON: In which we mention that how much time we’ve used in data collection. Time horizon has two types 1. cross-sectional 2. longitudinal Longitudinal study: “As In Longitudinal method the whole data is collected again and again with out any time interval.” So in our research time horizon is Longitudinal. SAMPLING: The process of using a small number of items or parts of a large

population to make conclusions about the whole population The basic purpose of sampling is; To obtain maximum information about the characteristics of population with in less time, cost and effort There are two types or styles of Sampling. That is Groups Dyads Individuals 43. Projectsformba.blogspot.com UNIT OF ANALYSIS:It is aggregation of data during subsequent analysis. Data can be gathered form:

44. Projectsformba.blogspot.comWHERE PROBABILITY SAMPLING CONTAINS: 1. Complex random sampling This further can be classify as o Systematic Sampling o Stratified Sampling o Cluster Sampling o Area Sampling o Double Sampling 2. simple random samplingAND NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS: 1. Convenient sampling 2. purposive sampling o judgment approach o quota approachhere in our research process, we’ve done the complex random sampling under the head of probabilitysampling in which we’ve used the CLUSTER SAMPLING APPROACH in which sample is chosen onthe basis of intra- group heterogeneity and inter-group homogeneity.As we are comparing here the females with females so our sampling criteria is inter-group homogeneity.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 44

45. Projectsformba.blogspot.comDATA COLLECTION METHODS:There are two types of data collection methods. 1. primary data collection • structured interviews • unstructured interviews 2. secondary data collection • questionnairesStructured Interview: “Structured Interviews are conducted when it is known at the outsetwhat information is needed. The interviewer has a list of pre-determined questions to beasked of the respondents either personally, through the telephone, or by sending the mainthrough electronic mail.”Un-Structured Interview: “In case of unstructured interview, the interviewer asks thequestions without any pre-determined sequence. Those questions are asked first whichcome in the mind of the interviewer first.”So we conducted Structured Interviews with the employees of different selectedorganizations. And our method of collecting Primary Data is through StructuredInterviews and Un-structured Interviews which we have already discussed in preliminarydata collection methods.Unobtrusive measures: “It means to trace the measures from a primary source that doesnot involve people.”In the primary data collection, we also use this technique by just observing the buyingbehavior of females of our homes and near our homes.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 45

46. Projectsformba.blogspot.comQuestionnaire: “A questionnaire is a reformulated written set of questions to whichrespondents record their answers, usually within rather closely defined alternatives.”Questionnaires are an efficient data collection

mechanism when the researcher knows exactlywhat is required and how to measure the variables of interest.Questionnaire can be administered personally, mailed to respondents, or electronicallydistributed.During our research process we made close ended questionnaires, and these arepersonally administered.MEASUREMENT OF MEASURES: “Measurement of measures is a key step in research design; it means to measure theinformation collected from different respondents by different ways by using differentmethods of data collection, to check the accuracies and reliability of data or informationcollected. It is also called the MOM of research.”Scale: “Scale is a tool by which the individual units are distinguished on the basis ofvariable of interest in some meaningful way.”We can say that scales will categories the things into different groups.Types of Scales a) Nominal Scale b) Ordinal Scale c) Interval Scale d) Ratio ScaleAPPROACHES OF SCALING: a) Dictorious scaling. b) Category scaling. c) Likert scaling.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 46

47. Projectsformba.blogspot.com d) Semantic scaling. e) Numerical scaling. f) Ranking scaling. g) Fixed scaling. h) Psychological scaling i) Graphic scalingIn our Central EditingFIELD EDITING:According to this approach, researcher makes the corrections at the time of gettinginformation from the respondents.So in our research process, we used this approach at each and every step due to which ourdata is correct and having no mistake or blanks in it.Now we can analyze it through different techniques.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 47 Field editing designing of questionnaire, we have used the following approaches in questions,Dictorious scalingCategory scalingSemantic scalingRanking scalingGraphical scaling (in every question)DATA PREPERATION FOR ANALYSIS:Before analyzing the data, we’ve edit our data due to the reason that there should be notany mistake in data which can cause the error in the data analysis.Types of Editing

51. Projectsformba.blogspot.comIN THE NUT SHELL: In this question we want to evaluate that which factors basicallyinfluence the female buying. We filled the 300 questionnaires from 300 femalesof different ages and from different areas. When we took the frequency of ourresults provided by females, we come to the result that the main basic factorwhich hardly influences the female buying is PRODUCT QUALITY. Manyfemales have also selected the price and appearance and imported products, butaccording to the results it is approved that they give more preference to thequality of any product.At the second place, mostly females also selected the last option which is ALLOF THE ABOVE, which means now days females do shopping according to aplanning. They buy each and every thing with full concentration and do notcompromise with any thing while buying.So at the result, we can say that females give first priority while buying to thequality and then to the other influencing factors.

53. Projectsformba.blogspot.comWe structured the above question according to the basic requirement of ourresearch topic which is EFFECT OF ADVERTISEMENT ON THE BUYINGBEHAVIOUR OF FEMALES.So according to the above findings, we can see that 193 females are agreedupon the fact that their buying influenced with the advertisements. Whichmeans advertisement is also a basic factor of influencing females buyingbehavior.Secondly 58 females said that advertisement do not influence their buying. Thismay be due to the fact that Pakistan is a poor country and females can’t bear

toomuch expensive things so they always cant follow the advertisements whilebuying the necessities of life.And the last portion of females, which is 49…they said that they don’t have anyidea about it which means they do shopping according to the routine matters.They don’t prefer which things are newly emerging in advertising Medias.

So according to the results we also got thesame answers as we got in question one because mostly females said that theyprefer quality and price factor while buying. They do not compromise with thequality of the product. Others are the secondary things.Here we can observe that status also influence the buying behavior because inour country females often consider the status while buying.

57. Projectsformba.blogspot.comHere we can see that how status effects the female buying behavior. Here in ourcountry females are very conscious for their self image so we can see that in theresults 144 females agree that they consider the self image while buying.Secondly females said that they seldom think that they consider the status whilebuying because they also consider the price and quality of the products as wellbecause they are also very important.At the last some females said that they are not status conscious and some saidthat they don’t know that either they

consider the self image while buying ornot. These may be those females which only prefer to buy basic necessities lifeand belongs to middle or lower middle families. HENCE THE RESULTQ#5: Which type of advertisement is more attractive for you?Projectsformba.blogspot.com 57

From that feedback we came to know that mostly females think thatsometimes advertisement effects negatively. These negative effects may be ofany type.On the second and third place we can see that ratio is almost same, somefemales think that there are definitely bad effects of advertisement and somethink that there is no any negative effects of advertisements.

So according to our research, we can say that females think thatwhen new advertisement come then they often neglect the price of the productand purchase that advertised product. They don’t think that how much theproduct is expensive; they just go through to buy that product due to veryattractive advertisement.Also a group of females said that they think that they often see the goodappearance of the product and purchase that, they don’t consider the qualitymuch at that time.And also a large number of females said there are also other negative effects ofadvertisements that appear according to the conditions.

87. Projectsformba.blogspot.com FINDINGSIn our whole research process, we get the following findingsProjectsformba.blogspot.com 87

Marketing departments of the companies can make the advertisements more attractive by using famous celebrities, different medias and by improving the appearance of the product. CONCLUSIONSThe purpose of our research is to find out the female behaviors towards thebuying of the products and also to see that how much advertising affects theProjectsformba.blogspot.com 88 Demand of the products can be increased with the help of good advertisements. Advertisement can become the cause of product failure or success. Females mostly satisfy with the good quality of the product. Imported goods are mostly preferred due to their good quality and reliability. Advertisement doesn’t much effect the level of buying. The most attractive advertising media in Pakistan is electronic media Company reputation effects also in the effectiveness of advertisements. Advertisements can become more effective through innovative slogans, different trade marks. Advertisement often left some negative effects in the minds of consumer, according to our research process that negative effects may be categorized in this sense that females neglect the price of the product and buy that advertised product at any cost. The most popular advertisement type amongst the females is product advertisement Self image effects too much when females buy any product Advertisement influence the female buying behavior but not more than quality of the product Females are more concerned towards the quality of the product while buying 88. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThat:

89. Projectsformba.blogspot.combuying behavior of females. The basic purpose of our research is to getinformation from females and then suggest to the companies that what theycan do maximum to improve their selling. Is advertisement is the biggesttool they have to attract the females towards their products or there are someother factors as well which have the affects more than advertisements. So forthis purpose we planned a full fledge research process and for this purposewe did the cluster sampling and made the questionnaires to fill from thesample group to come to the conclusions.After collecting the data we analyzed it and made some conclusions basedon

findings. We have found that females prefer the quality of the product atvery first stage. Now days females are very intelligent, they know thatadvertisements and appearances of the products may be fake and canperceive them so they firstly check the quality of the product and then buythat product in the routine.As we conducted the whole research from the very qualified females livingin good areas so their responses are very effective for our research process.The over all trend was seen in the questionnaires regarding to the quality ofthe products so which means females do not compromise with the quality.People have mixed results about the advertisements of the products. On theone hand it also highly influences the buying behavior of females due toattractive Medias, different types, innovations in slogans but on the otherhand it also has some negative effects as well. If a good advertisement canbecome the cause of the success of any product then a bad advertisement canbecome the cause of failure of any product.More over advertisements can effect negatively and also positively to thechildren. They can perceive any thing from the ads so advertisements shouldbe much ethical and good for the children and teenagers.Further more according to females, the marketing departments should makethe advertisements better through new and unique strategies if they want toincrease their sale and want to use the advertisement a big tool to increasetheir sale volume. RECOMMENDATIONSAfter getting the conclusions of our research, we want to give somerecommendations to the marketing departments of the companies so thatProjectsformba.blogspot.com 89

Packaging must be g Advertisement affects the buying behavior but it must be realistic We also asked an open ended question from the females, they give us some value able suggestions which we want to give you And rewardingHere we suggest you the ten steps to make advertising successful1. Narrow your market to a specific group of prospective clients. Find your nichemarket.2. Analyze your media. Does it appeal to your niche market? If it does, tailor yourads to relate directly to your media.3. Appeal to the impulse in the viewers of your ad. Call your readers to action *now*... Emphasize the benefits which a consumer will get after purchasing yourproduct. Offer something free in the ad itself.4. Use other medias as well for creating more demand of your products. Analyzethe advertising strategies of others.5. Design "killer" headings (slogans). Use new and interesting techniques whiledesigning a message for your product.6. Use different famous celebrities to become the more attractive advertisement.7. Use realistic facts and figures in your ads so that the customers become moreloyal towards your product.8. Repeat again and again your advertisements so that the advertisement of yourproduct can continuously be seen by customers.9. Clearly define all the attributes of the product so that

customers also believe thatthis product has also a good quality.10. Now promise yourself this: Youre going to get your ads noticed by writing themyourself and taking these steps to advertising success. Relevant Truth full Advertisement can do any thing, it can create the demand of any product but the advertising strategies should be effective so that females believe on these ads and buy the products so advertising should be: As females mostly prefer the quality of the products so they should highly focus on the quality of their products. 90. Projectsformba.blogspot.comthey can focus on those things through which they can increase their salevolume amongst the females. Advertisements influence but to some extentProjectsformba.blogspot.com 90ood to influence the buying behavior of females

Advertisements can change the preferences of females while buying but that must be realistic.So at the end we are strongly recommending you that if you want to increasethe sale volume of your product then firstly make its quality good, makerealistic advertisements and use effective medias.Projectsformba.blogspot.com 91 Females prefer electronic media’s advertised products.

Projectsformba.blogspot.com1.1 Introduction to Indian Two-wheeler Sector:The Indian automotive industry consists of five segments: commercial vehicles; multi-utilityvehicles & passenger cars; two-wheelers; three-wheelers; and tractors. With 7,822,963 unitssold in the domestic market and 753,591 units exported during the first nine months ofFY2007, the industry (excluding tractors) marked a growth of 43% over the correspondingProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 10

Projectsformba.blogspot.comprevious. The two-wheeler sales have witnessed a spectacular growth trend since the midnineties.India is the second largest producer and manufacturer of two-wheelers in the world. Indiantwo-wheeler industry has got spectacular growth in the last few years. Indian two-wheelerindustry had a small beginning in the early 50s. The Automobile Products of India (API)started manufacturing scooters in the country.Bikes are a major segment of Indian two wheeler industry, the other two being scooters andmopeds. Indian companies are among the largest two-wheeler manufacturers in the world.Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto are two of the Indian companies that top the list of worldcompanies manufacturing two-wheelers.The two-wheeler market was opened to foreign companies in the mid 1980s. The openness ofIndian market to foreign companies lead to the arrival of new models of two-wheelers intoIndia. Easy availability of loans from the banks, relatively low rate of interest and thediscount of prices offered by the dealers and manufacturers lead to the increasing demand fortwo-wheeler vehicles in India. This lead to the strong growth of Indian automobile industry.1.2 Evolution of Two-wheeler Industry in India: Two-wheeler segment is one of the most important components of the automobilesector that has undergone significant changes due to shift in policy environment. The two-wheeler industry has been in existence in the country since 1955. It consists of three segmentsProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 11

Projectsformba.blogspot.comviz. scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. In India there are some MNC’s and Indian companydealing in automobile sector. The main key players who are dealing in this sector are HeroHonda, Bajaj, Yamaha, Honda, and TVS. Hero Honda is the biggest player in this sector inIndia as well as in the world and playing a very important role in two wheeler automobilesector. Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS are the Indian companies and Yamaha & Honda areinternational automobile brand. Bajaj is the first Indian two wheeler automobile company in the market since1945 with the name M/s Bacharj trading corporation private limited. In 1959 M/s Bacharjtrading corporation private limited change its name as Bajaj Auto Ltd. Bajaj Auto obtainslicense from the Government of India to manufacture two- and three-wheelers vehicles in1959. Hero Honda Motors Limited was

established in 1984, as a joint venturebetween Indias Hero Group (worlds largest bicycle manufacturers) and Japans Honda MotorCompany. And created the worlds single largest two wheeler company and also one of themost successful joint ventures worldwide. During the 80s, Hero Honda became the firstcompany in India. Over 19 million Hero Honda two wheelers running on Indian roads today. TVS Motors is the third largest company in the two-wheeler industry with amarket share of 16%. Infect, it is the only Indian company without a foreign collaboration inthe two-wheeler industry. When the company opted out of the collaboration with Suzuki in2002, many believed that TVS was headed towards extinction. But the company proved thedoomsayers wrong and came out with a very successful `TVS Victor. TVS Motors Ltd.originally incorporated in 1982 to manufacture two-wheelers in collaboration with SuzukiMotors of Japan, TVS was one of the leaders in two-wheeler industry.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 12

Projectsformba.blogspot.com Yamaha Motor Corporation is the auto mobile company of Japan(1953) which works in India since 1955 and providing latest technology in India from lasttwo decades. Yamaha Motor India was incorporated in august 2001 as a 100% subsidiary ofYamaha motor corporation, Japan Honda motors of Japan is not a new name in the two wheeler scenario in thecountry, they were in a tie up with the Firodias owned Kinetic group. However in the late 90sthey parted ways after problems arose over issues like introduction of new models,advertising expenditure, marketing strategies and other related issues. In the mid 80 Hondamotors of Japan joined hands with the largest bicycle maker of India the Hero cycles to createHero Honda which in a couple of decades or so have gone on to become the single largestmotorcycle company in the world. Though Honda has come on its own on the Indian marketyet it will be providing technological support to Hero Honda for the next ten years. Thuspresenting a unique situation in which the company will be in direct competition with thecompany which it has been associated for nearly two decades. Honda Motorcycles andScooters India limited, a 100% subsidiary of Honda motor company Japan eventually enteredthe Indian market with Honda Unicorn in 2004.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 13

Projectsformba.blogspot.com1.3 Profile Change in Indian Two-Wheeler IndustryThe demand shift from scooters to motorcycles in the 1990s was without parallel in anycomparable product category in India. This was mainly attributed to the change in customerspreference towards fuel-efficient and aesthetically appealing models, which scootermanufacturers failed to provide. The delayed launch of new, advanced scooter models, fear offour-stroke scooters being prone to increased skidding risks and vibrations, and

the difficultyof maintenance also contributed to this shift.Interestingly, the growth in the motorcycle segment was mainly driven by the demand fromrural and semi-urban consumers. An estimated 60% of the demand for motorcycles camefrom rural and semi-urban customers. The rise in their disposable incomes on account ofgood monsoons in the 1990s provided the normally conservative rural and semi-urbancustomers with extra money that induced them to experiment with new, innovative products.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 14

No. Number of Units (in 000)Advanced technology, larger wheelbase, higher ground clearance and the ability to ride onbad roads with less effort and less danger of skidding and decreased maintenance cost werethe other factors that encouraged customers to choose motorbikes over other two-wheelers.1.4 Key Earnings DriversBelow are the key factors, which strongly affect the auto industry: -Government policy impact on petrol prices: Petrol prices determine the running cost oftwo/three wheelers expressed in Rupees per kilometer.Petrol prices are the highest in India as GOI subsidizes kerosene and diesel. But with therecent change in GOI policy to reduce the subsidy, the prices of petrol will remain constant atthe current prices. This will have a positive effect on purchases of two/three wheelers.Improvement in disposable income: With the increase in salary levels, due to entry ofmultinationals following liberalization process and fifth pay commission, the disposableincome has improved exponentially over the years. This will have multiplier effect ondemand for consumer durables including two-wheelers.Changes in prices of second-hand cars: The second hand car prices of small cars havecome down sharply in the recent past. This will shift the demand from higher-end two-wheelers to cars and affect the demand for two-wheelers negatively. A further drop inProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 15

Projectsformba.blogspot.comsecond-hand car prices will lead to pressure on the two-wheeler majors who plan to releasehigher-end scooters and motorcycles.Implementation of mass transport system: Many states have planned to implement masstransport systems in state capitals in the future. This will have negative impact on

demand fortwo-wheelers in the long run. But taking into account the delays involved in implementationof such large infrastructure projects the demand to be affected only five to seven years downthe line.Availability of credit for vehicle purchase: The availability and cost of finance affects thedemand for two- and three-wheelers as the trend for increased credit purchases for consumerdurables have increased over the years. Therefore, any change with respect to any of thesetwo parameters as a result of change in RBI policy has to be closely watched to assess thedemand for two- and three-wheelers.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 16

Projectsformba.blogspot.com 2.1 COMPANY PROFILEProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 17

Projectsformba.blogspot.com2.2 Hero Honda Motors Limited Hero Honda Motors Limited was established in 1984, as a joint venture betweenIndias Hero Group (worlds largest bicycle manufacturers) and Japans Honda MotorCompany. In 1985 production began with the launch of its first motorcycle, the CD100,which gave 80 km to the liter. In 1987 the engine plant was started and in 1989 the Companyproduced its 3,00,000th motorcycle. In 2001 Hero Honda manufactured its 50,00,000thmotorbike. Hero Honda has a reputation of being the most fuel-efficient and the worldssingle largest two wheeler Company. Shri Brijmohan Lall Munjal is the chairman andmanaging director of this Company. As early as in 1960’s very few Indian bicycle manufacturers were interested inexports. However, the hero groups foray into the overseas markets in 1963 pioneered Indianexports in the bicycle segment. It was more prompted essentially by the need to remainattuned to the global marketplace. While initial exports were restricted to Africa and themiddle east, today more than 50% of the exports from Hero Cycles Ltd. Meet the demands ofsophisticated markets in Europe and America. This is primarily because of appropriateproduct development and excellent quality that hero offers.. Hero Honda has grown like no other company in the auto business. Severaltimes in the path, savvy observers have insisted that it has grown just too big and that nocompany its size can continue to show growth rates. But Hero Honda has ignored that opinionand continued growing at the place it has set many years ago. Hero Honda today faces more competitor than it has ever in the history. Nowthat is the undisputed two wheeler Numero Uno in the country. Every single two wheelermanufacturer in India if looking market share away from it. More over for the first time thereare so many four- stroke challengers in the market. And Hero Hondas best selling productsare ageing.2.3 Corporate Profile:Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 18

Hero Honda has consistently grown at double digits since inception; and today, everysecond motorcycle sold in the country is a Hero Honda. Every 30 seconds, someone in Indiabuys Hero Hondas top -selling motorcycle – Splendor. This festive season, the company soldhalf a million two wheelers in a single month—a feat unparalleled in global automotivehistory. Hero Honda bikes currently roll out from two globally benchmarked manufacturingfacilities based at Dharuhera and Gurgaon in Haryana. These plants together are capable ofchurning out 3.9 million bikes per year. A third state of the art manufacturing facility atHardwar in Uttranchal will soon be commissioned to cope with sustained customer demand.

Margins getting squeezed from both the directions (Price as well as Cost)2.13 The Inevitable ChangeBajaj on internal analysis found that it lacked –1. The technical expertise to deliver competitive goods.2. The design know-how.3. And the immediate inability to support the onslaught of competitors. All these forced Bajaj to look for an international partner who could bring intechnology and also offer some basic platforms to be manufactured and marketed in India.Kawasaki of Japan is a world-renowned manufacturer of high performance bikes. Bajajentered into a strategic tie-up with Kawasaki in late 1990s to enhance its product line andknowledge up-gradation to support long-term strategies. This served the purpose of sustaining the market competition for a while. From 1996to 2000, Bajaj invested hugely in infrastructure while simultaneously developing productdesign and innovation capabilities, which is the prime reason behind the energetic Bajaj of21st century. Bajaj introduced a slew of products right from entry-level motorcycle to thehigh premium segment right from 2001 onwards, and since then its raining success all theway for Bajaj.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 31 Threat of cheap imported motorcycles from China.

It has also increasedfrom 28% in 2004-05 to 31% in 2005-06.f Annual turnover for the year 2005-06 is Rs. 81.06 billion v/s Rs. 63.23 billion a yearbefore - an increase of 28% which is very healthy.b BAL has significant presence in all the three basic segments - Price Segment, ValueSegment and Performance Segment - and has been showing increased sales in all thesegments over years.Besides this, BAL is a market leader in two-wheeler exports and it consists a great chunk ofthere overall revenues. Currently, BAL is selling over 1 lac motorcycles annually in SriLanka, further, they are commanding 50% market share in Central America.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 35

Projectsformba.blogspot.com2.16 The Industry Analysis - Five Forces Analysis-BALExternal EnvironmentIndustry: Automobiles: Two WheelersSegments: Presence in all segmentsEntry Barriers:Entry barriers are high.E The market runs on high economies of scale and on high economies of scope.E The need for technical expertise is high.E Owning a strong distribution network is important and is very costly.All these make the barrier high enough to be a deterrent for new entrants.Supplier Bargaining Power:Suppliers of auto components are fragmented and are

extremely critical for this industry sincemost of the component work is outsourced. Proper supply chain management is a costly yetcritical need.Buyers Bargaining Power:Buyers in automobile market have more choice to choose from and the increasingcompetition is driving the bargaining power of customers uphill. With more models to choosefrom in almost all categories, the market forces have empowered the buyers to a large extent.Industry Rivalry:The industry rivalry is extremely high with any product being matched in a few months bycompetitor. This instinct of the industry is primarily driven by the technical capabilitiesacquired over years of gestation under the technical collaboration with international players.Substitutes:There is no perfect substitute to this industry. Also, if there is any substitute to a two-wheeler,Bajaj has presence in it. Cars, which again are a mode of transport, do never directly competeProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 36

Projectsformba.blogspot.comor come in consideration while selecting a two-wheeler, cycles do never even compete withthe low entry level moped for even this choice comes at a comparatively higher economicpotential.Summarizing the industry analysis, it can be said that the two-wheeler market is attractive asit scores well on three out of five categories2.17 Product & Advertising Strategies OF BALThe focus of BAL off late has been on providing the best of the class models at competitiveprices. Most of the Bajaj models come loaded with the latest features within the price bandacceptable by the market. BAL has been the pioneer in stretching competition into providinglatest features in the price segment by updating the low price bikes with the latest featureslike disk-brakes, anti-skid technology and dual suspension, etc.BAL adopted different marketing strategies for different models, few of them are discussedbelow: -Kawasaki 4S - First attempt by bajaj to make a mark in the motorcycle segment. The targetcustomer was the father in the family but the target audience of the commercial was the sonin the family. The time at which Kawasaki 4S was launched Hero Honda was the marketleader in fuel-efficient bikes and Yamaha in the performance bikes.The commercial of Kawasaki 4S had the punch line "Kyun Hero" means "now what hero"which reflected the aggressiveness in the marketing front by the company.Boxer - It took the reins from where the Kawasaki 4S left. Target was the rural populationand the price sensitive customer. Boxer marketed as a value for money bike with greatProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 37

Projectsformba.blogspot.commileage. Larger wheelbase, high ground clearance and high mileage were the selling factorsand it was in direct competition to Hero Honda Dawn and Suzuki MX100.Caliber - The focus for the Caliber 115 was youth. And though Bajaj made the bike lookbigger and feel more powerful than

its predecessor (characteristics that will attract theaverage, 25-plus, executive segment bike buyer), its approach towards advertising is evenmore radically different this time around. Bajaj gave the mandate for the ad campaign toLowe, picking them from the clique of three agencies that do promos for the company (theother two being Leo Burnett and O&M). Going by the initial market response, the campaignwas clearly a hit in the 5-10 years age bracket. So, the teaser campaign and the emphasis onthe Caliber 115 being a `Hoodibabaa bike placed it as a trendy motorcycle for the college-goers and the 25 plus executives both at the same time.Pulsar - Pulsar was launched in direct competition to the Hero Hondas CBZ model in 150cc plus segment. The campaign beared innovative punch line of "Definitely Male" positioningPulsar to be a masculine-looking model with an appeal to the performance sensitivecustomers. The Pulsar went one step ahead of Hero Hondas CBZ and launched a twinvariant of Pulsar with the 180 cc model. The model was a great success and has alreadycrossed 1 million mark in sales.Discover - The same DTSI technology of Pulsar extended to 125 cc Discover was a greatsuccess. With this, Bajaj could realize its success riding on the back of technologicalinnovation rather than the joint venture way followed by competitors to gain market share.2.18 Strategies & ImplementationFMCG Business ModelBAL now is taking a leaf out of the FMCG business model to take the company to greaterheights.Bajaj has kicked off a project to completely restructure the companys retail network andcreate multiple sales channels.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 38

Projectsformba.blogspot.comOver the next few months, the company will set-up separate sales channels for every segmentof its business and consumers. Bajaj Autos entire product portfolio, from the entry-level tothe premium, is being sold by the same dealers. The restructuring will involve separate dealernetworks catering to the urban and rural markets as well as its three-wheeler and premiumbikes segments.Bajaj Auto also plans to set-up an independent network of dealers for the rural areas. Theneeds of financing, selling, distribution and even after-sales service are completely differentin the rural areas and do not makes sense for city dealers to control this. The company alsoplans to set-up exclusive dealerships for its three-wheeler products instead of having themsold through an estimated 300 of its existing dealers.2.19 Other Strategic IssuesCash is strength: Bajaj Auto has been sitting on a cash pile for over five years now. Over thenext couple of years, competition in the two-wheeler market is set to intensify. TVS Motorsand Hero Honda are on a product expansion binge. To fight this battle and retain its hard-earned market share in the motorcycle segment, Bajaj Auto will need its cash muscle. A lookat its own story over the past five years provides valuable insight.Delisting worry: What is worrying is that

there is an idea to delist the investment company(also an indirect indication that it would be listed initially). This would be closing the valve ofequitable ownership distribution.There is a hint of a buyback of shares of the investment company as this is the only way it canbe delisted. The company would not be short of cash to put through such a buyback.Factors such as low valuation, low trading interest and the need to provide shareholders maybe cited as plausible reasons for the buyback.Stake for Kawasaki: Bajaj Autos attempt to vest the surplus cash in a separate companymay be a prelude to offering a stake to Kawasaki of Japan in the equity of the automobilecompany. The latter has been playing an increasingly active role in Bajajs recent models, andits brand name is also more visible in Bajaj bikes than in the past.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 39

Projectsformba.blogspot.comBetter value proposition: Shareholder interests may be better served if the cash is retained topursue growth in a tough market. This would also obviate the need to fork-out fancy sums asstamp duty to the government for the de-merger. A combination of a large one-time dividendand a regular buyback program through the tender route may offer better value. A strategicstake for Kawasaki would only positively influence the stocks valuation.2.20 Strategies for the Overseas MarketsBajaj Auto looks at external markets primarily with three strategies: -1) A market where all BAL need to do is distribute through CKD or CBU routes.2) Markets where BAL need to create new products.3) Markets where BAL need to enter with existing products and probably with a gooddistributor or a production facility or a joint venture.Earlier, most of the products that Bajaj exported were scooters and some motorcycles.However, in its target markets, like in India, the shift was towards motorcycles. With theexpansion in Bajajs own range to almost five-six platforms of motorcycles, it had a betteroffering to export, also the reason for its stronger showing. For the last fiscal, 60 per cent ofits exports were two-wheelers and the rest three-wheelers. Of the two-wheeler exports, closeto 90 per cent were motorcycles.Bajaj has identified certain key markets, which hold potential. Its first overseas officeestablished at the Jebel Ali free trade zone has been the focal point for exports to middleAfrica and the Saharan nations. Egypt and Iran also continue to be strong markets for Bajaj.The other market, which would be a focus area, is South America, where the company feels itis fairly well represented in most countries, except in Brazil, the largest market. The companyProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 40

Projectsformba.blogspot.comrecently participated in a large auto exhibition in Brazil and found good consumer acceptanceto products like Pulsar and Wind 125.The other focus area is the ASEAN

nations, which constitute the third biggest consumer oftwo-wheelers. The biggest among them is Indonesia, where Bajaj distributors are looking tointroduce eco-friendly four-stroke auto rickshaws. But two-wheeler market requires greatdeal of effort from BAL. Everybody is there with Honda leading the show. Theres Suzuki,Kawasaki and some Korean and Chinese models. BAL should look at the right product mixfor two-wheelers. Bajajs Pulsar model has taken off well there. It also wants to develop anew step-through model for the Indonesian market, but for now it will create a base therewith its motorcycle models.Bajaj has also made a beginning by selling bikes in the Philippines branded in the name of itstechnical partner, Kawasaki. The two signed an MoU in February. Kawasaki, a large multi-product conglomerate, only makes high-end bikes and does not have sub-200cc models.Kawasaki is marketing the new model, Wind 125, developed by both companies, in thePhilippines. The Bajaj-developed models, Caliber and Byk, which is a fuel-efficient bike, arealso being distributed by Kawasaki. This is a good beginning strategically for Kawasaki toevince interest in Bajaj products for markets which can still buy less than 150 cc.2.21 R&DBajaj Auto has a huge, extensive and very well-equipped Research and Development winggeared to meet two critical organizational goals: development of exciting new products thatanticipate and meet emerging customer needs in India and abroad, and development of eco-friendly automobile technologies.While the manpower strength of the R&D represents a cross-section of in-depth design andengineering expertise, the company has also been investing heavily in the latest, sophisticatedtechnologies to scale down product development lifecycles and enhance testing capabilitiesBajaj Auto R&D also enjoys access to the specialized expertise of leading internationaldesign and automobile engineering companies working in specific areas.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 41

Projectsformba.blogspot.comBased on their own brand of globalization, they have built their distribution network over 60countries worldwide and multiplied the exports from 1% of total turnover in Fiscal 1989-90to over 5% in Fiscal 1996-97.The countries where their products have a large market are USA, Argentina, Colombia, Peru,Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Iran and Egypt. Bajaj leads Colombia with65% of the scooter market, in Uruguay with 30% of the motorcycle market and in Bangladeshwith 95% of the three-wheeler market.Several new models are being developed specifically for global markets and with these thecompany will progressively endeavor to establish its presence in Europe too.2.22 The FutureAlthough the avalanche of motorcycles offered Indian consumers a wide variety of models tochoose from, it also resulted in increased pressure on the

companies to concentrate on cost-cuts, technology enhancements and up-gradations and styling. Their margins came underpressure as marketing costs escalated.The companies were forced to reduce prices and offer discounts to survive the competition.Moreover, analysts were skeptical about the segments ability to maintain the growth rate inthe years to come. One of the major assumptions underlying the motorcycles rush was that ifthe market was considerably large and was growing at a constant pace, there was room for aprofitable existence for all brands.In 2001, there were over 30 motorcycle brands in the market. However, with the top fivebrands accounting for more than 60% of the market, only 40% of the market was availablefor all other new brands put together. Despite the launch of more vehicles, the survivalprospects of many of the individual brands were deemed to be rather bleak.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 42

Projectsformba.blogspot.comFurther, the growth in the motorcycle segment was dependant on continuing favorable marketconditions. Analysts claimed that to sustain this growth rate, the segment would have tocompletely cannibalize the market for scooters and a considerable part of the market forscooters and mopeds.Considering the fast growing scooter segment, with high demand from female customers,followed by the moderately growing moped segment and the restructuring in the scootersegment with major national and foreign players reinforcing their presence, it was unlikelythat the entire growth in the two-wheeler sector would be due to motorcycles.Analysts also commented that as the two-wheeler industry had grown steadily for eight years,stages in the product life cycle would apply to the field sooner, rather than later and thedecline stage would invariably come some day. There was little differentiation between thebrands being launched apart from styling as most companies had introduced their four-strokevehicles.With the failure of the joint ventures, the expected introduction of cheaper Chinese brands,stringent emission norms and threat from major international players, the survival ofindigenous brands looked uncertain. Constrained with the ruling price levels in the marketplace, limited infrastructure and lack of technological innovations when compared to theirforeign counterparts, whether the Indian companies would succeed in generating the kind ofvolumes needed to sustain in the competitive motorcycle market, remains to be seen.2.23 New Strategies adopted by BajajMajor emphasis to be on new product launches.Have a new scooter market under development – will be launched early 2010.Plan to launch a three-wheeled motorcycle, to cater to a niche segment.Bajaj expects stronger growth in the first quarter of FY10 powered by the continuing success of theXCD 135 DTS-Si as also the launch of product upgrades off the Pulsar platformAs a result of the recent

Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe automobile industry has seen an overwhelming growth in liberal India. Almost every bigmanufacturer has made its presence felt in the country. After the foreign direct investmentregulations were removed, many manufacturers saw India as a potential market. Most of theauto manufacturers were in collaboration with the Indian companies after ’91 till ’99, whenthe rules were changed; some of them still enjoy that. With many foreign manufacturerseyeing India as the market, the giants were no exception and most of them are already havingtheir manufacturing or assembling facilities in India. Honda was into the Indian two-wheelerindustry from 1983, when it joined hands with Hero to start Hero Honda and with Kinetic tostart Kinetic Honda. Honda broke the ties with Kinetic in ’99 and set up its own 100%subsidiary called Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) Pvt. Ltd.HMSI laid its foundation stone in Manesar, Haryana in the same year and also signed anagreement with Hero that it won’t manufacture motorcycles for the next five years i.e. till2004 as Hero Honda was not into the scooter segment at that time. This gave Honda a licenseto manufacture scooters at will and it did that by rolling out its first scooter, Activa in 2001and followed it with Dio in the same year. Honda now enjoys a large chunk of market sharein the scooter segment with Activa, Dio and now Aviator as its products. Honda introducedits first motorcycle, Unicorn in 2004 in the 150cc segment which was followed by Shine inthe 125cc segment in 2006 followed by Stunner in the same segment in 2008. All thesemotorcycles were highly appreciated and instant hits in the growing Indian market whichover these years was mainly dominated by Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto Ltd.The main rivals HMSI is countering are BAL, Hero Honda and TVS in the motorcyclesegment and TVS, Hero Honda and Mahindra Kinetic in the scooter segment. HMSI is themarket leader in the scooter segment and is yet to have a major share in the motorcyclesegment even though it is growing at 32.24% on a monthly basis.The bike segment has a market growth rate of 43% with HMSI having a share of 18% Thebiggest rival in this segment is HMSI’s sister concern Hero Honda with a share of 55%. Thescooter segment is having a growth rate of 32.24% and HMSI having a market share of57.7%. The nearest rival in this segment is TVS motors with a share of 18.7%.2.31 Strategy of rivals Vs HMSIIn 2007, out of every 100

Projectsformba.blogspot.comyear. There’s more: the scooter market grew in double digits last fiscal, outperforming thetwo-wheeler market, which grew 2.6 per cent in the same period. The golden days of theearly 80s, when scooters had a 64 per cent market share, are still far away. But the revivalsignals are strong.Scooter manufacturers said the 1.14 million-strong domestic market was expected to cross 2million units in the next four years. That explains the entry of a host of newer players in thesegment, such as Mahindra-Kinetic and Yamaha. Sensing competition, the establishedplayers — Honda, TVS Motors, Bajaj Auto, Hero Honda and Suzuki — have hit the drawingboard once again, to pull out flashy, high-powered and un-geared scooters.Scooter production stands at roughly 20% of the overall two-wheeler productionYear Two Wheelers Production (Bikes + scooters) 2002-03 5,076,221 2003-04 5,622,741 2004-05 6,529,829 2005-06 7,608,697 2006-07 8,466,666 2007-08 8,026,681 2008-09 8,418,626(http://www.siamindia.com/scripts/production-trend.aspx)HMSI has 55 per cent market share, followed by TVS Motors with 19 per cent and HeroHonda with 14.5 per cent and Bajaj managing a 11% market share.

Projectsformba.blogspot. The Company has entered the bikes market since 2004. This has led to a certain degree of cannibalism between Hero Honda The company would focus on gearless scooters in the future and with the launch of the new Activa, HMSI is looking at a total of 18% growth in its two-wheeler sales in the next fiscal, 2009-10. Honda to exit geared scooter segment in India, the Japanese two-wheeler major Honda will exit the geared scooter market in India and phase out its 150 cc model — Eterno — as the company plans to focus on the gearless segment. com2.32 Strategy of HMSI & Honda remains committed to its promise to deliver superior technology and performance, even though HMSI products are priced relatively higher than other companies in the market.2.34 Strategy adopted by TVS HMSI has a one-month waiting period for its new Activa (110 cc); six months before, it was just 10 days. Encouraged, it is ramping up its monthly production to 60,000 from 40,000 earlier. HMSI. However, Honda motor company stands to gain out of either company’s success. & Bajaj for increasing sales and counteringgrowth of HMSIMost companies currently produce

scooters in the 100-125cc range that are targeted atcustomers who want higher mileage and are ready to compromise on power. Generally, anentry-level bike (100cc) is more powerful and economical than a gearless scooter.To counter this, companies are working on scooter models that generate higher power withoutundermining the fuel economy. The result will be a product that matches the performance ofmotorcycles while being more comfortable, agile and easy on the pocket.They also aim at developing E- scootersProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 53

The country’s second largest bike maker, Bajaj Auto, is also developing a completely new, un-geared, scooter. To be launched in 2011, it is aimed at taking on the products of HMSI. This product will be high on power output, like the company’s current bike range, but will not sacrifice on fuel economy.2.35 Review of strategies adopted by HondaThe first bike launched by Honda, Unicorn was launched in the existing 150cc segmentwhich was mainly dominated by Pulsar series and later TVS Apache also chipped in withinthe competition. Same was the case with Shine, its second bike in the 125cc segment. Afterthis, Honda slightly moved away from convention by adopting a new strategy ofsegmentation by creating a segment within two existing segments. In 2008, Honda launched a125cc Stunner CBF intended for not the conventional 125cc segment but just between 125ccand 150cc segment. Honda did not compromise on the feature rich and technologically soundproduct and not on the price either. The price of this bike was 50-60 thousand, thusovercoming the price void between the 150cc and 125cc bikes. The competitors sell their125cc bikes at 40-50 thousand while the price of 150cc segment starts somewhere around 60thousand. This pricing strategy of Honda has paid well and now they are planning topenetrate the gap between the existing 100cc and 125cc segments by launching a new featureladen and technologically sound 100cc bike. Again Honda has clearly announced that theprice of this bike won’t be in the conventional 100cc range but slightly more than that.

INTERPRETATION: Performance is one factor which most of the people specially youth look upon in a two wheeler. Also the companies have come upon with a segment of this category andProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 82

Projectsformba.blogspot.com have developed bikes based on this. The customers also look into the after sales and support the company offer when going for a two wheeler. Hence the service offered is of prime importance. The price is an important factor for medium segment people that is below Rs.60,000 as they try to balance price as well as efficiency of two-wheeler. Brand value plays a major role for loyal customers for eg. A person buys only HONDA, because its one of the internationally trusted brands.5.11 IS CROSSCHECKING DONE?

Projectsformba.blogspot.com 6.1 DEMAND AND GROWTH DRIVERSProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 85

Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe following factors play a major role in increasing the demand for two wheelers in India.Personal Income, demography and penetration level are key growth drivers in the twowheeler industry.Personal IncomeDemand increases as the income increases, only to be substituted later by the demand for fourwheelers. Income has been steadily growing in India and is projected to stabilise at a growthrate of 9-12 percent range by 2012.Demography and InspirationThe bigger the young and working population, the greater is its need for commutation. The ITand BPO revolution has influenced this movement. This is a favourable factor since Indianworkforce is young.Penetration LevelThe lower the penetration levels in the market, the better the scope for future demand. As thepenetration of the rural market is significantly low, it is going to be a significant long termgrowth driver.Other FactorsImprovement in infrastructure increases competition, while simultaneously improving thepublic transport. The average time period taken to replace an existing bike with a newermodel has decreased from 7 years to 5 years, resulting in replacement demand growth.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 86

Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1 FINDINGSThe major findings during the data collection and analysis time can be summed up as follows:Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 87

Projectsformba.blogspot.com • Interest rates are one of the prime reasons for the sharp fall in demand. Many banks have increased interest rates which make two wheelers costlier. • Difficulty in availing loans, rising defaults, tightening of loan recovery laws and various other factors have dissuaded consumers from availing loans and led to further problems in credit lending. • Increasing oil prices have deterred many lower middle class families from buying two wheelers. • Introduction of low priced cars will directly affect the market. The family segment would want to gradually move from two wheelers to four wheelers. The major impact of this phenomenon would be experienced in the 100-125 cc two wheelers whereas the performance segment i.e. > 125cc will continue to grow strongly. • With the introduction of the Bharat-4 norms, it will be more challenging to meet these stringent norms whilst simultaneously offering competitive prices. In spite of these factors, demand drivers are present for the foreseeable future and are favourable for the two wheeler industry. However, to capture this growth, any player will have to correctly position itself to appeal to the consumer.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 88

For performingthis task, 7 product categories were selected and the companies were tried on the grounds of: • Availability of product • Number of customer complaints • Dealers satisfaction level • Areas of operation and design of distribution channels • Hold on the market share Hence the companies were tested on these basis and hence the results were compiled according to the respective product categories itself.RESULT OF HYPOTHESIS TESTINGThe overall research and analysis of the two wheeler companies across these 7 categories ledto the following result: • Null hypothesis is accepted for the product categories of 100cc and 125cc segment as there is intense competition from fuel efficient small cars in India. • Null hypothesis does not hold true for product categories like 135cc,150cc,180cc,220cc.Since the null hypothesis does not hold true in majority of the product categories and hencethe null hypothesis is not valid and hence, NULL HYPOTHESIS IS NOT PROVED. InIndian markets for majority of the two wheeler product categories, Foreign companies havestreamlined their operations and distribution channels in a much more effective way ensuringhigher availability of their goods in the market in pan-India.Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 90

Projectsformba.blogspot.com 9.1 RECOMMENDATIONSThe following recommendations are:Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 91

Projectsformba.blogspot.com • The two wheeler companies should focus on gearless scooters. The market share of gearless scooters is increasing at a healthy rate. Bajaj is virtually absent in this range that caters to the needs of women and families. Presently Honda, Hero Honda and TVS are big players in this segment. • Entry into four wheeler segment Bajaj has entered into a joint venture with Renault-Nissan in the development of a small car priced at $3000. This is a significant move because it directly competes with Tata NANO. Bajaj has also displayed its small car prototype in the recently held auto expo. It promises double the mileage as compared to any car in the economy segment and is also considering the option of introducing Diesel and LPG variants. The four wheeler segment will also be able to hedge any risk that might arise because of the two wheeler industry and would profit from retaining consumers

switching from two wheelers. • Scaling Up Service Centers Companies need to scale up its service centers both in numbers and in capacity. Keeping in line with its growth target for the next 5 years, the service centers should not only cater to two wheelers but should also be upgraded to cater to the needs of four wheelers that companies plans to launch. • Focus on Easy Credit Lending • Investment in Research and Development • Focus on Exports and Global MarketProjectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 92

Projectsformba.blogspot.com 10.1 LEARNINGSI had some major learnings while working on this research project which can be summarizedas follows:Projectsformba.blogspot.com pg. 93

Projectsformba.blogspot.com • Dream High because that will help you to Achieve Big. • Systematic Planning is the essence for the project. • Making realistic time frame and following them is mandatory. • Data Collection requires a lot of patience and follow up. It requires meticulous research to select the right sample for research. • Secondary data collection is also an important task and one must be aware which source is completely authentic and reliable. • SMART

7. Projectsformba.blogspot.com1.0 INDUSTRY PROFILEAUTOMOBILE

INDUSTRY TILL DATEThe automobile industry is one of the biggest industries in

the world. Being a majorrevenue and job generating sector it drives the economies

of some of the superpowersof the world. In India the automobile industry has grown

by leaps and bounds since theadvent of the liberalization era the automobile

industry and especially the two wheelersegment has grown by leaps and

bounds.The liberalization has done away with primitive and prohibitive practices of

licensing andrestricted foreign investment have been done away with. The result of

which was theentry of foreign players into the Indian market. The two wheeler

segment was largelydominated by Automobile Products of India (API) and Enfield

in the 50s. Later ontowards the end of the 50s Bajaj Autos began importing Vespa

scooters from Italiancompany Piaggio. In the following decades the automobile

industry in India was mainlydominated by scooters with API and later Bajaj

dominating the market. There were veryfew products and choices available as far

as motorcycle is concerned and Enfield bulletand Rajdoot dominated the

market.The 80s saw the entry of Japanese companies in the Indian market with the

opening upof the market to foreign companies. Hero Honda and TVS Suzuki are

companies formedin this era of market reform. The market was still predominantly

scooter dominated andBajaj and LML were the leading brands producing the

products at that time. Scooter wasviewed as a more family and utility friendly

vehicle than motorcycle and hence waspreferred. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

8. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe Japanese companies not only collaborated

with Indian companies to produce thealready existing products but also brought in

new technology as a result of which theever conquering 100cc bikes which were

extremely fuel efficient with 4 stroke engineswere launched in India. These proved

to be highly successful as they provided a cheapand affordable means of personal

transport to all those who could not buy a car. Theflourishing middle class took a

great liking for these bikes and the bike sales in Indiabegan to grow exponentially

year on year leading to Hero Honda becoming the leader inthe two wheeler

industry in India and the largest producer of two wheelers in the world.The post 90s

era was the era of liberalization and weakening of restrictive measures.The

government went on an overdrive to support the industry and all FDI regulations

andlicensing was abolished. 100% FDI was allowed in the automobile industry and

theexcise duty was also considerably reduced to its current level of 12% on two

wheelers.All these factors combined with the rising fuel prices, the increasing

dispensableincomes of households, easy access to finance, etc. have led to two

wheeler industrybecoming the backbone of the automobile industry in India.The two

wheeler industry in India forms a major chunk of the automobiles produced inIndia.

According to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers statistics for the year2008

– 2009, two – wheelers comprise 76.49% of market share among the

vehiclesproduced in India.The production share of two wheelers is quite similar to

the market share. The twowheeler industry comprises around 74% of the total

automobiles produced in India. TheSIAM data for the year 2008-09 states that

8,418,626 two wheelers were producedduring the year against a total of

11,175,479vehicles produced during the year.SEGMENTATION OF TWO

in 2008-09PAST YEAR REPORTIn the past year the sales of the automobile

segment has taken a setback and the twowheeler segment has not proved to be

any exception. The two wheeler segment hassuffered a setback of over 7% during

the past fiscal year but there have been signs ofrecovery in the current year.

Automobiles 2008-09 1.3 Sales trend of automobiles for the last several

yearsProduction Trend Projectsformba.blogspot.com

12. Projectsformba.blogspot.comIf we compare to the last year production of two

wheelers it was around 8,026,681 out of10,853,930 but this year we have got

growth of 1.78%, this year production of twowheelers is around 8,418,626 out of

11,175479 total automobile productions. 1.4 The Production trend of Automobiles

for several yearsThe total sale of two wheelers in India has touched a figure of 7.86

million units byMarch, 2007, up 11.42% from the previous fiscal figures of 7.05

million. Productionduring the period reached 8.63 million units.The production of

two wheelers in India is expected to reach a staggering 17.85 millionunits by 2011-

12, more than double of the current production level.The two-wheeler production

capacity is to reach 22.31 million units in 2011-12 comparedwith 10.78 million in

2006-07.The export of automobiles from India has been constantly growing and

with theslowdown in the domestic market, the major companies are focusing on

exporting muchmore to increase their profit margins. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

13. Projectsformba.blogspot.comGROWTH PROSPECTS AND KEY DRIVERS OF

INDIAN TWO WHEELER INDUSTRYThe growth witnessed by the Indian two

wheeler industry indicates the growing demandfor low cost personal transportation

solutions amongst the 300 million Indian middleclass consumers. Despite this

spectacular growth rate, the two wheeler penetration(number of two wheelers per

1000 inhabitants) in India remains lower than other Asiancountries. This fact

provides an opportunity for continued growth in the market. India hasthe lowest

Penetration of two wheelers as compared to countries like Taiwan,

Thailand,Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and China. In the present scenario, growth

in the twowheelers Industry will be driven by several factorsRise in India’s Young

Working PopulationWith the rising levels of per capita income of people, the Indian

two wheeler marketoffers a huge potential for Growth. This growth is relevant in the

light of the fact that 70per cent of India’s population is below the age of 35 Years

and 150 million people will beadded to the working Population in the next five

years. The number of women in theurban work force is also increasing; this will

lead to the Growth of gearless scooters.Rise of India’s Rural Economy and Growth

in Middle Income HouseholdsThe growth prospects of the Indian rural economy

offer a significant opportunity for themotorcycle industry in India. The penetration of

motorcycles amongst rural households Projectsformba.blogspot.com

14. Projectsformba.blogspot.comwith income levels greater than US$ 2,200 per

annum has already increased to over 50per cent. The current target Segment for

two wheelers, i.e., households belonging to theIncome category of US$ 2,200–

12,000 is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10 per cent.Greater Affordability of

VehiclesThe growth in two-wheeler sales in India has been driven by an increase in

affordabilityof these vehicles. An analysis of the price trends indicates that prices

have more or lessstagnated in the past. This has been part of the marketing

strategy adopted by themanufacturers to gain volume, as well as conscious efforts

adopted to bring down costs.The operating expenses of leading manufacturers

have declined by around 15 per centin the last five years. With greater avenues of

financing, the customer’s capacity to own atwo wheeler has improved.Rapid

Product Introduction and Shorter Product Life CycleThe last five years have

witnessed a sharp increase in new product launches in the two-wheeler industry. It

is estimated that close to 50 new products have been launched bymanufacturers

during this period, filling up all price points and targeted at variousconsumer

segments.Inadequate Public Transport Systems in most Urban AreasThe economic

boom witnessed in the country and the increased migration to urbanareas have

increased the traffic congestion in Indian cities and worsened the

existinginfrastructure bottlenecks. Inadequate urban planning has meant that

transport systemshave not kept pace with the economic boom and the growing

urban population. This hasincreased the dependence on personal modes of

transport and the two wheelers markethas benefited from this infrastructure

gap.FACTORS AFFECTING THE MARKETPost 1991, the Indian two-wheeler

industry comprising of motorcycles, scooters andscooterettes opened up

tremendously. The Indian motorcycle industry has expanded ata 24% CAGR over

the last five years, It Captured almost 80% of the market primarily atthe cost of the

scooter and Moped segment. The scooter segment though has witnesseda revival

with the launch of scooterettes aimed at young women and adolescents.


15. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe two wheeler market can be segmented into

three categories on the basis of price –Entry segment (<35000), Executive

segment (between 35000 and 45000) Deluxe(between 45000 and 65000) and

Premium segment (above 65000).Motorcycles are now sold as a passion,

experience rather than a product. New productsare being introduced at a rapid

pace and brands are gaining prominence. Thus there isan increased focus on the

premium segment which has an increased scope fordifferentiation.Purchasing

Power is relatively high with buyers becoming more discriminating. Reliabilityand

economy have become more of a hygiene factor. Buyers now demand two-

wheelersthat fit their personality thus increasing the scope for differentiation and

branding.Provision of financing through EMI’s has provided a means to satisfy the

need ofpossess a convenient and stylish mode of transport in the form of a two

wheeler. Thishas resulted in higher growth in the 125-150cc segmentWith the

introduction of Government policies such as reduction in excise duty from 16%to

12% and allowing for 100% FDI Barriers to entry has reduced. However,

theinvestment required for setting up large distribution channels and service

stations can bea major entry barrier. Another significant entry barrier is the brand

building required.Thus, initially foreign players set up Joint Ventures with

indigenous companies. Afterestablishing their brand they have launched their own

line of products. E.g. Honda withHero Group and Yamaha with Escorts.Threat from

Substitutes such as the Tata 1 Lakh car looms large over the two-wheelerindustry.

For the first time, a car has been positioned at a price point that fills the

vacuumbetween a motorcycle and a low-end car such as the Maruti 800.

Previously, the price ofeven a low end car (2.5 – 3 Lakhs) was too high to attract

the customers from the entryand executive two wheeler segment. Since brand

loyalty is lower for these segments vis-à-vis the premium segment, these segments

may be threatened by the Tata car. Theirbuyers will consider the convenience and

status associated with owning a car, which isreasonably priced and therefore a

viable substitute.Rising Customer Expectations Projectsformba.blogspot.com

16. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe growth witnessed by the Indian two wheeler

industry has attracted a number of newentrants to the market and it is expected

that the Indian industry will become morecompetitive in the future. The excess of

products introduced in the past has also raisedcustomer expectations with respect

to reliability, styling, performance and economy.Inflation is a big factor that may

play a part in moving the loyalties and aspirations ofpeople away from the four to

the much cheaper and economical two wheeler segment.Moreover, the constantly

increasing prices of oil and increasing interest rates on financeare not helping the

cause either.Environmental Concerns are also quite big on the agenda these days

and do play a partin the preference of consumer’s choices. The rising global

temperatures along with dailysnippets in the national and international media about

the thinning of ozone andimminent environmental disaster have all contributed to

the making of a present dayenvironmentally conscious consumer.Environmental

and Safety ConcernsThe increasing demand for two wheelers will need to be

managed to address issuesrelating to overcrowding of roads. Another problem is

the insufficient infrastructure forinspection to ensure adherence to emission norms.

As the industry grows, it is importantto regulate the sale of used two wheelers in a

more organised manner for which amechanism needs to be evolved. Unregulated

sale of two wheelers, especially in therural areas, are likely to create issues related

to emissions and safety of vehicles.Creation of Distribution InfrastructureLeading

companies need to ensure that on one hand they build adequate infrastructurein

terms of dealerships and servicing stations in the urban areas and on the other

ensurethat their distribution infrastructure also reaches the rural areasCurrent

Competition has intensified thus requiring greater branding and marketing. Alsodue

to the presence of relatively undifferentiated products, advertising and

promotionshave gained importance. The product has moved from a commodity to a

branded Projectsformba.blogspot.com

17. Projectsformba.blogspot.comproduct. However, there is still tremendous growth

potential especially in the ruralmarkets due to the under developed road

infrastructure for which motorcycles are highlysuitable. Segment wise market

consumers – individualsand households who buy goods and services for personal

consumption.’ (Philip Kotler)‘To understand the buyer, and to create a customer out

of him, through thisunderstanding, is the purpose of buyer behavior.’ (Ramaswamy

and Namakumari)It needs to be specified at the outset that there is no unified,

tested and universallyestablished theory of buyer behavior. What is available today,

are certain ideas of buyerbehavior.FACTORS INFLUENCING BUYER

BEHAVIOURA number of factors influence buyer behavior. They can be grouped

under three broadcategories. 1. Factors that are part of buyer as an individual. 2.

Buyer’s social environment (group influence). 3. Information from a variety of

sources.1. Factors that are part of the Buyer as an individualAn individual’s religion

and cultural background, his personality traits, self concept, hisgeneral

endowments, his upbringing – in short, his overall biodata – play a crucial role in

can be grouped broadly into threecategories: i. Personal factors ii. Cultural factors

iii. Psychological factorsI. Personal Factors – Age, Education, Economic Position,

Self conceptAn individual’s age, level of education, his occupation, overall

economic position andlifestyle all influence his role as a buyer. They decide what

products he will buy andconsume. A person’s self concept and his concern about

his about status also influencehis buying decisions. In fact today people are very

concerned about their image andstatus in society. It’s a direct outcome of their

material prosperity. Status is announcedthrough various symbols like dress,

ornaments, possessions and general lifestyle. Thedesire for self expression and

self advancement is closely linked with social status. Forseveral people, status is a

major motive force guiding and shaping their life. Theirconcept of status decides

what material possessions they should have. Even if a productthat constitutes a

status symbol is beyond their immediate reach, their aspiration topossess it will

influence their decision making process.ii. Cultural Factors – Religion, Language

etc.Every culture, every language and every religion group dictates its own unique

patternsof social conduct. Within each religion, there may be several sects and sub

sects; theremay be orthodox groups and cosmopolitan groups. In dress, food habits

or marriage – inalmost all matters of individual life – religion and culture exercise an

influence on theindividual, though the intensity may vary from society to society.

The do’s and don’tslisted out by religion and culture impacts the individual’s lifestyle

and buying behavior.iii.Psychological Factors – Beliefs, Attitudes, Motivation,

PerceptionJust like the economic and social conditions, a man’s disposition too has

a close bearingon his purchase decisions. Individuals coming under the same

economic and social Projectsformba.blogspot.com

57. Projectsformba.blogspot.comgroups can be vastly different when it comes to

certain personal beliefs, faith andattitudes. One may be timid and plain, while

another may be outgoing and aggressive.One may be traditional in the overall view

of life, while another may be modern. Onemay be east innovative, while another

may welcome anything new. In fact, the maximumvariations are seen here and in

the matter of analysis and assessment too, this areaposes maximum problem to

the marketer.2. Buyer’s Social Environment (group influence)The buyer living in a

society is influenced by it and is in turn influencing its course ofdevelopment. He is

a member of several organizations and groups, both formal andinformal. He

belongs to a family, he works for a certain firm, he may be a member of

aprofessional forum, he may belong to a particular political group, or a cultural

body.There is constant interaction between the individual and the groups to which

he belongs.And all these interactions leave some imprint on him, which influences

him in his day today life and consequently, his buying behavior.There are two broad

types of group influences: i. Influence of intimate group. ii. Influence of the broad

social class.I. Influence of Intimate GroupExamples of intimate groups are family,

friends, close colleagues and closely knitorganizations. These groups exercise a

strong influence on the lifestyles and the buyingbehavior of its members. Among

these groups the most influential and primary groupsare the family and peer

groups. The peer groups are closely knit groups composed ofindividuals, who have

a common social background and who normally belong to thesame age group. The

peer group has the greatest influence on the individual member asa stabilizer of

styles and behavior patterns.In any intimate group, there is likely to be an informal

group leader. Te group respectshim and looks up to him. Though the leader may

not directly influence every member inhis day to day purchases, his judgment on

men and matters, and facts and fashion isrespected by the group; and his views

and lifestyle influences their buying decisions. Heis normally the innovator in the

group, who first tries new products and new ideas, andthen, he becomes the

propagator of those products and ideas. These opinion leaders orinfluencers play a

key role in marketing. Marketers often try to reach these leaders first


58. Projectsformba.blogspot.comthrough advertisements and other means of

communication. And if the leaders areconvinced, their groups are likely to follow

suit.ii. Influence of the Broad Social ClassStructurally, the social class is a larger

group than the intimate groups. The constitutionof a social class is decided by the

income, occupation, place of residence, etc. of theindividual members. The

members of a social class enjoy more or less the same statusor prestige in the

community. They share a common lifestyle and behaviour pattern. Andthey

normally select a product or brand that caters to their class norms. Often they

evendo their shopping in the same shopping are and patronize selected shops,

which befittheir class image. This does not mean that all the members of a given

social class willbuy the same products and the same brands or conform to the

same style, amounting toa sort of regimentation. Differential liking may exist among

the members. But, in a buyingsituation in which objective standard are not available

to guide them, they may conformto the ‘class norms’. Studies have shown that the

extent of influence the social class hason its members will depend on the extent of

attractiveness of the group holds out tothem. The greater the attractiveness, the

larger is the behavioral conformity.Study of group influence on the individual buying

behaviour will help the marketers todevelop right strategies for different customer

segments. It is not feasible for them toappeal to the fancies of every individual

buyer. They can find ’commonalities’ or ‘pattern’among specific groups of buyers

and work on them.iii. Information from various sourcesThe buyer today is exposed

to a veritable flood of information, unleashed on him fromdifferent sources. These

sources inform him about new products and services, improvedversions of existing

products, new uses for existing products and so on. The informationsources that

persuade people to try a product include: advertising, samples and trials,display in

shops and salesmen’s suggestions.Each of these sources provides some

information to the buyer about the products. Whenthe buyer sees an advertisement

for a product, he is informed about the existence of theproducts. Later on, he may

develop a positive or negative attitude towards the product orhe may remain

neutral. In any case, a piece of information about the product is madeavailable to

him and it has some influence on his buying behavior.


59. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe availability of the product in the shop itself

acts as an information source to te buyer.The buyer may evince an interest in the

product and may inquire about it. The productadvertises itself.Often salesmen

serve as a source of information to buyers. The salesmen may informthe prospects

about a product, explain its advantages and may even suggest a trialpurchase. In

cases where a rapport has already been established between the buyerand the

salesman, the latter’s suggestions are normally taken as reliable. THE BUYING

PROCESS1. Problem Recognition Projectsformba.blogspot.com

60. Projectsformba.blogspot.com The process of buying normally starts with the

recognition of a need by the consumer. He recognizes a problem and develops a

perception of the problem. Then he seeks information for solving his problem.2.

Awareness The customer turns to his environment /world of information around

him. It makes him aware of the existence of the product that would solve his

problem.3. Comprehension (Evaluation) Comprehension comes out of his ability to

reason with the information. The awareness and comprehension stages represent

the information processing stage. These two stages constitute the cognitive field of

the purchase process.4. Attitude It is the sum total of the individual’s faith and

feelings towards a product. As a result of his awareness and comprehension, the

consumer develops an attitude – favorable or unfavorable – towards the product.

The purchase process will continue only if he develops a favorable attitude or a

liking for the product.5. Legitimization The buyer must be convinces that the

purchase of the product is he legitimate course of action. This stage often stands

as a barrier between a favorable attitude towards the product and actual purchase.

Only if the buyer is convinced about the correctness of the purchase decision, will

he proceed. At this stage, he may seek further information regarding the product, or

attempt to assess the information already available. Attitude and legitimization

constitute the attitude field of he purchase process.6. Trial Conviction leads the

consumer to try the product on a small scale ; he may buy a sample. He tries to

evaluate the product from his own experience.7. Adoption A successful trial leads

him to buy/adopt the product. Trial and Adoption constitute the behavioral field in

the buying process.8. Post-Purchase Behavior The purchase leads to a specific

post purchase behavior. Usually, it creates some restless ness in the mind of the

individual. He is not sure about the product. He may feel that ‘the other brand’

would have been better. He may even feel that the Projectsformba.blogspot.com

61. Projectsformba.blogspot.com salesman has taken him for a ride. As this

dissonance is uncomfortable, the individual, by himself will seek all means to

recover his conviction and poise. He well seed reassuring advertisements of the

products or he may deliberately avoid positive stories about the competing brand.

THE YAMAHA STRATEGY IN INDIAYamaha has shifted its focus from the lower

end segments to the premium segment ofbikes. It aims to provide its customers the

full range of its engineering marvels that makeYamaha the company that it is.

Yamaha has a very strong focus on the technicaldepartment, the result of which

can be seen with Yamaha comfortably leading theconstructor’s championship in the

Superbikes racing with Valentino Rossi and ColinEdwards as their riders.Yamaha

has aimed to become the No.1 in customer satisfaction and is looking forwardto

providing the customer with an ‘experience’ with its products.The target market of

India Yamaha Motors is the young and enthusiastic 18-25 yr. oldswho are willing to

try taking the not so much treaded path of buying the ‘sports bike’rather than a

‘utility two wheeler’. These young guns are very conscious of the stylequotient and

look forward to their ride being a personality statement.With the increasing

dispensable income in India and growing middle and upper middleclass segment

Yamaha is sure to find many prospective customers. With news of Indiabecoming

the breeding ground for millionaires Yamaha has certainly identified anopportunity

and has grabbed it hands down.THE 4 P’S FOR INDIA YAMAHA

MOTORSProduct: India Yamaha Motors has recently launched its sports bike R15

and FZS in the150cc. The bikes in the premium segment include MT01 and YZF

R1. Yamaha isbringing its latest technologies to India and aims to come up with a

new product for theIndian market every quarter. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

62. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe reliability and riding quality of a Yamaha have

already been established through itsearlier products.Price: The Yamaha range of

products has been very competitively priced and the pricesof its premium segment

bikes MT01 and YZF R1 are priced much below any present orprospective

competitor in the segment at Rs.10.5 lacs.Its other products like the R15 has also

been priced optimally looking at thespecifications of the bike. The bike despite

being only 150 cc provides around 22 BHP ofpower, more than any other bike in

the 150-220cc. bracket. The bike has also broughtthe liquid cooled engine

technology to India and other features like the styling etc. arealso quite new for the

Indian market and hence considering what it gives you it is abargain at

Rs.97,500.Promotion: Yamaha has been constantly loosing market share over the

last few yearsand has thus decided to change its brand image with change in its

market strategy. Thecompany now wants to be known for its style and speed. It

looks to be known as asports bike manufacturer and not as an economy bike

segment player.Taking these factors into consideration the company has started a

complete makeoverof its image. The recent R15 and FZS ads on numerous

channels on TV and other adson both electronic and print media vindicate the

point.The company has also opened ‘Yamaha bike stations’ which are company

ownedshowrooms and completely symbolize the brand image that Yamaha wants

to achieve inIndia.Place: India Yamaha Motors has adopted a two tier marketing

channel consisting of thePrimary dealers at tier1 and the secondary dealers or

retailers at tier2. In addition tothese two tiers there are also the ‘company owned

showrooms’ and the multibrandoutlets. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

75. Projectsformba.blogspot.com Chapter 7.0 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS7.1

RESULTS OF CUSTOMER SURVEY7.2 HYPOTHESES TESTS 7.1 RESULTS OF

THE CUSTOMER SURVEY Projectsformba.blogspot.com

76. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.1: The Age distribution in the

sample.ANALYSIS: 7.1.1: Following points can be referred from the above pie

chart • The above pie chart is showing that the customers of FZS are mainly

coming from the age group of 16-25 that is around 69%, as Yamaha claims that

they generally target their customers who are between the age group of 18 to 25,

because that people of this age group are passionate and are style freaks, • So we

can say that Popularity of Yamaha is available in the age of 26-30 (around 20%)

also because of its reputation in the world market. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

77. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.2: The Marital status distribution in the

sample. Analysis: 7.1.2: In this pie chart it is very much clear that 76% of the

Yamaha’scustomer is mainly the youth who are single, so Yamaha’s new launch

FZS is mostlybeing accepted by the singles instead of family oriented people.


78. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.3: The Occupation distribution in the

sample.Analysis: 7.1.3: Once again we found that Yamaha’s major customers are

the students ofcolleges and schools which consists 43%, as they want something

special, new, stylish,masculine and attractive and Yamaha is providing that in the

form of FZS. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

79. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.4: The Income groups distribution in the

sample.Analysis: 7.1.4: In the income group distribution we can analyze that

customers of FZSare coming from the Middle income group people which is around

73% by including10001-40000 slab of income group. It shows that Yamaha is

placing their products in theappropriate price range. As the people of this income

bracket can easily afford this Bike. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

80. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.5: The Way of purchasing distribution in the

sample.Analysis: 7.1.5: Here again we can prove that the products of Yamaha are

in theacceptable price range, as we can see that purchasing way of the customers

are leading inthe CASH sector. Customers are easily affording the price of FZS;

they are not feelingmuch problem with the amount of FZS.Today’s customers are

ready to pay for betterfacilities and technology and they feel that FZS deserves that

price which YAMAHA isoffering. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

81. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.6: The Financing distribution in the sample.

Analysis: 7.1.6: In this pie chart a very important thing can be referred thatIndian

Youths are not so much independent in the financial matters, still they depends

onthe family, as Yamaha claims that they target the people of 18-25 age group, but

here wecan say that they should promote such kind of advertisements where the

Yamahaproducts can link to the family. Ultimately family is paying the amount so

Yamahashould target according to family also, so that the view of the children and

familyshouldn’t clash. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

82. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.7: Compared brands with FZS. Analysis:

7.1.7: Majority of people is not comparing Yamaha FZS to any otherproduct and the

number of such people is around 39%,But the second view which we have found

that FZS is getting a very tough competitionFr BAJAJ & HERO HONDA. BAJAJ has

launched their new edition of Pulsar 220 at avery low price (around 70000 ex

showroom price), which is the reason for the toughcompetition giving by BAJAJ. On

the other hand HERO HONDA HUNK is also givingdirect fight to the FZS because

of its MILEAGE only. There are some more competitorswhich are stable at their

market share in automobile industry. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

83. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.8: The choice of Feature which is most

important in a bike.Analysis: 7.1.8: If we see the trend of Two wheeler industry we

found that earlier peoplewere looking mainly towards the mileage of the vehicle but

now In our research wecollected data and found that now customer’s perception

has changed and they areshifting towards the style, design & riding comfort of the

vehicle,54% customers have purchased FZS because of its Style & Design and

only 2% peopleare looking for the mileage. So in a way we can say they Yamaha

exactly changed the perception of Indiancustomers. They are trying to attract

customers with new style, design or look of the bikeand creating passion in the

customers for the speed and power. So through this we have proved our First

hypothesis which was regarding the Yamaha’snew launch of FZ & FZS that has

changed the customer’s perception regarding choice ofbikes.


84. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.9: 1st Information sources and their shares

Analysis: 7.1.9: As we can see here the major promotional tool which isinfluencing

the customers is TVCF which stands for Television Commercial, which isaround

45%, after that the major source of awareness among customers, isFamily/Friends.

Magazine and newspaper consists only 9% in our research, but if welook them at a

very good sample size then it is around 2% only. So here we can say that Yamaha

should produce better advertisements like FZSand they should link their ads with

the emotions of the customers so that the brandrecognition by the customers will

be for long time. The customers can still recall thepunch lines of Bajaj and Hero

Honda such as HAMARA BAJAJ or HERO HONDADESH KI DHADKAN. YAMAHA

should also use such kind of heart loving lines. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

85. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.10: Customer Perception regarding Yamaha

Image after FZSAnalysis: 6.1.10: This is a good result for Yamaha that once again

they are creating placein the heart of the customers, after the discontinue of RX100

Yamaha has lost very bigamount of customers in the last 10 years, but after the

launching of FZS, Yamaha hasimproved their image among the customers.Our

data is showing that 98% people are admitting that Yamaha has improved

theirimage after the FZS and R15 launch, feedback which we have got from the

customerswere like that Yamaha has produced something new this time and very

stylish and welldesigned product..With Yamahas continued thrust on technology,

quality and manufacturing excellenceand introduction of Global Yamaha standards

in its operations, the customers haveexperienced the real Yamaha and have come

closer to the brand.By this we are again proving our second HYPOTHESIS that

YAMAHA has regained itsimage after the launch of FZ & FZS.


86. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 7.1.11: Comments for FZS by Potential

Customers.Analysis: 7.1.11: This year Yamaha FZS has got the BIKE OF THE

YEAR AWARDwhich shows its popularity among the customers. It has fulfilled the

desire and demand ofthe current customers, there are very few people who still

need some improvements in theFZS but Yamaha is taking care of those customers

also. As our data is showing that 78%people are giving good comments or

responses for Yamaha, they are feeling that FZS isthe most stylish and trendy bike

in these days, 2% people are feels that spare parts ofYamaha FZS are very costly

and 16% people are complaining for the mileage of the bike,therefore Yamaha

should work on these loopholes of the bike so that they can attractsome more

customers. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

RECOMMENDATION Projectsformba.blogspot.com

109. Projectsformba.blogspot.com 8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS• SHOULD

IMPROVE THE AFTER SALE SERVICES: During the survey we found that

Yamaha is not satisfying their customers in after sales services, employees at

dealership sometimes use harsh words and become rude to the customers, parts of

the bike are not easily available in the market. This is the major drawback in

capturing the market share so Yamaha should take some better steps to satisfy

and retain their customers.• WEAK FOLLOW UP FROM DEALERSHIPS: We

observed during the course of our studies that Yamaha was quite weak in following

up with prospective customers. There was no communication from Yamaha

showrooms asking the customers if and when they are willing to buy their bikes.

Hero Honda, Bajaj and Honda showrooms were extremely attentive in this regard

and perform maximum follow up on prospective customers.


110. Projectsformba.blogspot.com• MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO

IMPROVE ITS DEALERSHIP: Yamaha which is trying to build a brand new image

of a high tech and stylish brand of sports bikes should take appropriate steps to

show it in their showrooms. Showrooms like Oswal Yamaha, and Shiva Yamaha

were very small in size and do not reflect the quality and scale of Yamaha in the

market. Shiva motors was very dirty ambience and customer will feel that company

is not working good that’s why they are not taking any actions toward their

showrooms and this will definitely hamper the sales, so Yamaha should take care

of these things.• POOR PROMOTIONAL CAMPAGIN: The Yamaha ads seen on

electronic and print media are absolutely out of touch with the Indian culture and

thought process. If we see that Bajaj and Hero Honda has produced a very good

link with the Indian family and customers can easily recall their Ads by well know

punch lines like HAMARA BAJAJ or HERO HONDA DESH KI DHADKAN-DHAK

DHAK. Yamaha is also focusing on this as we can see the AD of YAMAHA ALBA.

An Indian consumer irrespective of their income level has a soft corner for traditions

and culture of India. Hence, all companies including market leaders like Hero

Honda and Bajaj capitalize on this behavior of customers and design their ad

campaigns keeping India in mind.• YOUTH ORIENTED PROMOTION: Yamaha

claims that they target the customers of age group 18-25 but their ad never

represents this so they should make such kind of AD where youth should taken in

as centre of attraction. They should do this earliest to capture the market because

vast majority of people depending on ads and friends as their chief sources of

information about the products.• AGGRESSIVE SELLING: The Company should

follow an aggressive selling concept. A non-aggressive selling concept which is

clearly visible in its advertising campaign which does not hit on the customer rather

aims to provide information in a subtle manner. These days they have hit on the

right target as we can prove through our survey that people who purchased

YAMAHA FZS, 54% people have seen the TVCF of Yamaha before purchasing the

bike. Emotional advertising which is the norm in India and which is very successful

is not followed.• INDIAN BRAND AMBASSADOR: The Company’s brand

ambassador is VALENTINO ROSSY earlier we had JOHN ABRAHAM too but now

YAMAHA does Projectsformba.blogspot.com

111. Projectsformba.blogspot.com not have any Indian brand ambassador as

compared to its competitors like Hero Honda who have Hrithik Roshan doing their

ads and M.S. Dhoni doing the job for TVS. It is necessary for Yamaha to have a

brand ambassador from India to connect with the Indian customer.• VARIETY IS

NEEDED TO BE PROVIDED: Yamaha at the moment has a very weak product

portfolio and its products are not that visible in the market or displays in dealerships

except the Gladiator and now R15. The lack of product range visibility in

dealerships and in the media and advertisements is adversely affecting the brand

of Yamaha. If a customer want to switch from one bike to another Yamaha is not

providing them options so here Yamaha should work to maintain their loyal

customers. Yamaha should maintain and produce the bikes in quarterly or half

yearly so that customers can avail options.• BRAND EXPOSURE SHOULD BE

INCREASED OR TO TAP THE NICHES : There is a large market of unsatisfied

customers in India. This effort would be in the direction to capture the unsatisfied

customers and who are willing to change their brands on bike replacement.•

FOCUSSED ADVERTISEMENT ON PRODUCT USP: The maximum demand

among customers constituting the target market of India Yamaha Motors is for the

power and style features of bikes. Hence, the company should produce products

keeping the above factors in mind. Projectsformba.blogspot.com

(Escort Yamaha Tie The Not)In 1985, Yamaha Motors entered into a technical

support agreement with Escorts, andstarted local production of Yamaha

motorcycles. In 1995, Yamaha and Escorts signedanother contract, establishing

EYML to manufacture and market motorcycles in India.Each company invested

50% of the capital for the original venture EYML produced awide range of

motorcycles for the urban and rural markets at its Faridabad (Haryana)and Surajpur

(Uttar Pradesh) plants. The joint venture manufactured Rajdootmotorcycles at

Faridabad and the RX and four-stroke YBX series at Surajpur... From 1995 to early

2000, EYML took several steps to become the number one player inIndias two-

wheeler market. However, in mid 2000, Escorts divested 24% equity toYamaha

Motors and as a result, Yamaha Motors became a majority stakeholder in

theventure (74:26). In May 2001, Escorts sold its remaining 26% equity, thus,

exiting fromthe joint venture.Role of Escorts Group In the Joint VentureThe role of

the Escorts group was always minuscule since Yamaha has been graduallyhiking

its stake in the joint venture. The Nandas of the Escorts were only promoters inthe

JV They were just on the drivers seat & Yamaha’s Technology was not the part

oftheir expertise .Reason For Break up : Projectsformba.blogspot.com

131. Projectsformba.blogspot.comThe macro cause for the change was Escorts

Yamaha’s sliding share in the MotorcycleMarket. In the light of growing competition,

both parties deemed it fit to part ways.Hari prashad Nanda of Escort Group then

identified four thrust areas for Escorts-agri-business, telecom, software and

healthcare. The idea behind giving Yamaha Motors themajority stake in the joint

venture was to focus more on the four thrust areas. AsYamaha’s technology was

not their area of specialization.With the change in the equity pattern, Yamaha

Motors would control the management ofthe joint venture. Yamaha Motors would

now hold 100% stake in the company.Commenting on Escorts exit from the joint

venture, an official said, "We would like to getout of businesses where we are not in

the drivers seat and in the case of Yamahatechnology it was not a part of our

expertise." He said Escorts would now concentrate onagri-business, telecom and

healthcare..The first ever Press release made by Y.M.I was as follows :“An

agreement has recently been reached between Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (YMC)

andits joint venture partner in India, Escorts Limited (Chairman and Managing

Director: Mr.Rajan Nanda. Location: Faridabad, suburbs of New Delhi) under which

YMC will acquireall of the 26% of the stock presently held by Escorts Limited in the

two companiesmotorcycle manufacturing and marketing joint venture, Yamaha

Motor Escorts Ltd.(YMEL).The aims of this move to make Yamaha Motor Escorts a

100% YMC subsidiary are toincrease the overall speed of managerial and business

decisions, to improve productdevelopment capabilities and production efficiency,

while also strengthening themarketing organization. Plans call for the change in the

companys name and otherprocedures to be completed by the end of June.In

addition to YMC acquiring Escorts 26% of YMEL stock, the companys name will

bechanged to Yamaha Motor India Private Limited (YMI) and concerted efforts will

bemade to heighten its competitiveness in the Indian market and promote the

spread of theYamaha brand with target themes of developing products with greater

appeal and adistribution network that can respond more quickly to user needs.”End

Of Honey Moon After the Failure of a Joint Venture The next logical progression for

Yamaha wasobviously assuming full control of Indian operationsAs a company ,

YMI is only 7 years old in the Indian Motorcycle market . HoweverYamaha has had

a presence in this sector for over 21 years ever since it entered into atechnical

collaboration with Escorts motors in 1985 .Ever since the establishment of the first

technical assistance agreement between thetwo companies in 1985, YMC and

Escorts Limited have built a cooperative relationshipdedicated to the manufacture

and sales of Yamaha brand motorcycles in anenvironment of growing motorcycle

demand in the Indian market. In November of 1995,the two companies established

the joint venture company Escorts Yamaha MotorLimited, based on a 50-50 capital

investment. In June of 2000, that investment ratio waschanged to 74% for YMC

and 26% for Escorts Limited . Projectsformba.blogspot.com

132. Projectsformba.blogspot.comFormation of “Yamaha Motor India Private

Limited” (YMI)After the separation from Escorts Yamaha undertook a lot of

measures to consolidateitself in to Indian market YMC assumed managerial control

of the company with the name being changed toYMEL and undertook numerous

measures to build the companys motorcyclemanufacturing and marketing

operations.Various Strategic Measures Undertaken to consolidate in toIndian

MarketAfter Escorts hugely successful motorcycle brand, Rajdoot, the group had

not been ableto replicate the success with the offerings under the Yamaha brand.

While the YamahaRX 100 model, which before being withdrawn due to new

emission norms, seemed toachieve considerable success, the other models

including the Yamaha YBX, its first four-stroke bike, have only received lukewarm

response from the marketYamaha believed that operating on an individual basis

would help in building its separateBrand Name. A strategy was formulated in order

to facilitate new product launches and the entireMarketing policy was

overhauled.As part of the strategy, Yamaha Motors also planned to convert its India

operations intoa sourcing base for parts and fully-built two-wheelers.In essence the

decision to separate was on grounds of mutual consent by both parties. Itmade

business sense to part ways now and the timing could not have been better in

thelight of prevailing competitive environment.Introduction of Japanese culture on

Indian soilYAMAHA Motor Company of Japan renamed its wholly-owned Indian

subsidiary(Yamaha Motor India Pvt Ltd), after buying out the entire equity holding

of the Escortsgroup in the erstwhile joint venture Yamaha Motor Escorts

Ltd.Following are the main 8 changes which have been implemented after Yamaha

Partedits way from Escorts 1. Administrative changes: Each department now has a

Japanese representative called Deputy General Manager. As far as hierarchy in the

top brass is concerned, the C.E.O, President, Vice President and Associate Vice

President are all now Japanese. The first Indian involvement in the top

management begins at General Manager Level of individual departments. 2.

Eliminating Indian Culture: As long as Escorts had a say in the organization,

atypical Indian Culture prevailed Employees used to work in the office at their own

will , used to walking in at 9:15 for a shift which starts at 9:00.But After the


133. Projectsformba.blogspot.com separation from Escorts full Japanese culture

was implemented in the organization in Place of Indian culture .Every employee

has to Remember: • Switch off A.Cs, fans and lights. • Keep the gangway clear of

any hindrances. • Put yours tools in appropriate closet. • Keep your work

surroundings clean and hygienic. • Call each other by using the word “SAN” which

is a word used to give the respect to each other , each employee of the

organization call each other by using the word SAN which means “JI” in Japanese

3. Japanese work ethos – They are built around a single minded devotion to

discipline.No employee is offered preferential treatment and some rules apply for

everybody. Ifyour Japanese manager walks in at 8:45 for a 9’o clock shift, imagine

the example it setsfor subordinates. That’s exactly what happened at Yamaha

Motors India strict financialpenalties were put in place for those who reported late at

work.4. Developing Team Spirit - every employee was given the same uniform.

Regardless ofthe fact that whether you are a Foreman or Chief General manager,

everyone isexpected to turn up in the same uniform. The obvious benefits are an

increased sense ofcamaraderie and team spirit.5. Life Time Involvement with the

Employee : Japanese Companies believe in life timeinvolvement with it’s

employees. In return, they expect their employees to treat theorganization as their

own family6. Japanese work on the premise- “ A happy Employee is a productive

employee” Thestandards for employees safety and general sanitation are same in

India as in Japan.After Yamaha took over, an entire new department was created,

just to look aftergeneral7. Quality Conscious: Japanese are a quality conscious

breed who has traditionallybelieved that a technologically superior product will sell

itself against any competition.After Yamaha took over, every six months, a batch of

4-5 employees is selected to betrained at the Yamaha production plant in Japan. .

They also get a first hand experienceof Japanese work culture and discipline.8.

Quality Circles: A concept, originally pioneered by the Japanese, was

successfullyimplemented at Yamaha Motors IndiaQuality control, or quality

assurance as they like to call it, is something Japanese areobsessed with. Quality

assurance became a key performance area only after Yamahatook over. During the

era of Escorts when Yamaha was just a technical collaborator,professionals from

Japan visited only to collect date regarding rejection rate, efficiency,


134. Projectsformba.blogspot.comvolumes per hour etc. Now, realizing that profit

levels, quality assurance is given it’s dueshare of importance.So the above 8 points

are showing how an organization has to cope up with thechanging conditions, as a

lot of changes are required when such an event takes place inan organization, and

Yamaha is a perfect example in understanding the strategies anorganization has to

form in order to survive in the odd circumstances.The culture change which came

as a shock two years ago has now become a norm.Discipline has become a way of

life. The professional approach which Yamahaintroduced is no more imposed on

the workers. It has become a part of their socialconditioning at the

workplace.Yamaha is still to turn the corner in the highly competitive motorcycle

market. However,Yamaha has recognized the enormous potential of the market

and it’s penchant toswitch brands according to latest trends and technology. The

profits are showing anupward trend recently. The progress made is painstakingly

slow but sure Employees atall levels showcase a deep rooted belief that their

company can once again repeat thesuccess stories of mid 1990s.Various Recent

Strategic Moves Adopted By theOrganization To Break Through The Competition &
