CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 HISTORY OF STUDY
The Britannica Encyclopedia describes a motorcycle as a bicycle or tricycle
propelled by an internal-combustion engine (or, less often, by an electric engine).
The motors on minibikes, scooters, and mopeds, or motorized velocipedes, are
usually air-cooled and range from 25 to 250 cubic cm (1.5 to 15 cubic inches) in
displacement; the multiple-cylinder motorcycles have displacements of more than 1,300
cubic cm.
The automobile was the reply to the 19th-century dream of self-propelling the
horse-drawn carriage. Similarly, the invention of the motorcycle created the self-propelled
bicycle. The first commercial design was a three-wheeler built by Edward Butler in Great
Britain in 1884. This employed a horizontal single-cylinder gasoline engine mounted
between two steer able front wheels and connected by a drive chain to the rear wheel.
The 1900s saw the conversion of many bicycles, or pedal cycles by adding small,
centrally mounted spark ignition engines. There was then felt the need for reliable
constructions. This led to road trial tests and competition between manufacturers. Tourist
Trophy (TT) races were held on the Isle of Man in 1907 as reliability or endurance races.
Such were the proving ground for many new ideas from early two-stroke-cycle designs to
supercharged, multivalve engines mounted on aerodynamics, carbon-fiber reinforced body
work.

In this present scenario the usage of vehicles particularly in two-wheeler on roads
by the people is increasing day by day. For the past four years the two-wheeler industry
had seen a tremendous growth in Indian market, this indicates its increasing usage. Due toincrease in usage the companies have to fulfill the needs of their customers, so they
introduce new models in the market.
Due to growth and competition among the two-wheeler companies like TVS,
HEROHONDA, YAMAHA, HONDA, ENFIELD, KINETIC they have to promote their
products to their customers. In order to do that they introduce new vehicles in the market
with new features and pricing.
The customers expectations here should be satisfied by the two-wheeler in order to
win the race. To do so they have to introduce new brand into the market to retain their old
customers and also to attract new customers from the other brand. This is possible only if
the customer expectations are met. For that they have to provide various features like,
pricing, style, mileage, additional features etc to gain the customers.
The competition is not only in the company level, it also prevails among the various
dealers in the particular city to achieve their sales target. For this they adopt various
measures to increase the sales of their vehicles, so they announces various new schemes to
customers like EXCHANGE MELA, LOAN MELA, FESTIVAL OFFER etc.. this will
help them to increase their sales volume and also provide various offers like ROAD TAX
FREE, INSURANCE FREE, FREE PETROL, GOLD COIN OFFER, ZERO PERCENT

8/2/2019 Lathish Final Copy
10/53
This study is confined to a particular area. So the strategies formulated or the result
yielded from this study is subjected to the variations in the geographical preferences.
Since the customer survey is only a sort of feedback, the sample size is confined to
200 only. This small drop is taken as the representative of the ocean.
The suggestions formulated were on the basis of the segment who has purchased
TVS vehicles only. So this may vary or overlap with other vehicles segment.
Only the important questions are dealt with the respondents, due to shortage of time.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive Research Design
The research design adopted for this study is exploratory descriptive design. This
project is designed to identify the factors which influence the customers and the ways
through which they choose to buy their vehicle and about the exchanged vehicle in
exchange mela organized by the TVS dealer S.J AGENCIES, coonoor.
DESCRIPTIVE STUDY
The objective of a descriptive study is to learn the who, what, when, where and how
of the topic. The study may be simple or complex ; it may be done in many settings. The
simplest descriptive study concerns a univariate question or hypothesis in which we ask
about, or state something about , the size, form, distribution, or existence of variable.
Descriptive studies may involve the collection of data and the creation of a
distribution of the number of times the researcher observes a single event or characteristics
or they may involve relating the interaction of two or more variables. Descriptive studies
may or may not have the potential for drawing powerful inferences. The descriptive study
is popular in business research because of its versatility across disciplines.
3.2 SAMPLING DESIGN
11
-
8/2/2019 Lathish Final Copy
12/53
SAMPLING UNIT
It deals with the peoples to be surveyed. The researcher must define the target
population for their survey among the customers of S.J AGENCIES who exchanged theirvehicle in exchange mela are considered for this study.
SAMPLE SIZE
200 respondents were selected from the population who exchanged their vehicle in
exchange mela conducted by S.J AGENCIES from the past three years.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE
Simple random sampling technique is employed for selection of 200 respondents
from the total population pool.
SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
The unrestricted, simple random sampling is the simplest form of probability
sampling. Since all the probability samples must provide a known nonzero chance of
selection for each population element, the simple random sampling is considered a special
case in which each population element has a known and equal chance of selection. In this
section, we use the simple random sample to build a foundation for understanding sampling
procedures and choosing probability samples.
Simple random sampling is often impractical. It requires a population list that is
often not available. The design may also be wasteful because it fails to use all the
information about a population. In addition, simple random design may be expensive in
time and money.
Selecting a random sample is accomplished with the aid of computer software, the
table of random numbers, or a calculator with a random number generator. Drawing slips

out of a hat or ping-pong balls from a drum serves as alternative if every element in the
sampling frame has an equal chance of selection.
3.3 DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The data collected in two ways :
Primary data
Secondary data
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The datas for the primary data is collected through questionnaire and from the
workplace and internet for the secondary data.
The questionnaire is a structured questionnaire. The question is designed using 5
point likert scale and the ranking sale were used to rank the factors.
The following are the ratings for 5 - points scale
Excellent = 5
Verygood = 4
Good = 3
Average = 2
Poor = 1
