1.1 INTRODUCTION:

Meaning of Consumer Buying behaviour:

Consumer buying behaviour is the sum total of a consumer's attitudes, preferences,

intentions, and decisions regarding the consumer's behaviour in the marketplace when

purchasing a product or service. The study of consumer behaviour draws upon social science

disciplines of anthropology, psychology, sociology, and economics.

About Coca-Cola:Coca-Cola, the product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta,

Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Coca-Cola Company is the world’s leading manufacturer, marketer

1920s. Now operating in more than 200 countries and producing nearly 400 brands, the Coca-

Cola system has successfully applied a simple formula on a global scale: “Provide a moment

The Coca-Cola Company and its network of bottlers comprise the most sophisticated and

pervasive production and distribution system in the world. More than anything, that system is

dedicated to people working long and hard to sell the products manufactured by the

CONSUMER PREFERENCES:

The consumer market amounts to a total of 6.3 billion people, and thus there is great demand

for an enormous variety of goods and services, especially as consumers differ from one

another in that of age, gender, income, education level, and tastes. Moreover, the

relationships between different consumers, as well as their contact with other elements of the

world surroundings, affect their choice of products, services, and companies.

The reason why consumers buy what they do is often deeply rooted in their minds,

consequently consumers do not truly know what affects their purchases as “ninety-

fivepercent of the thought, emotion, and learning [that drive our purchases] occur in

theunconscious mind- that is without our awareness. Consumers’ purchase process is affected

by a number of different factors, some of which marketers cannot control, such as cultural,

social, personal, and psychological factors.

CULTURAL FACTORS:

Culture is “the set of basic values, perceptions, wants and behaviors learned by a member of

society from family and other important institutions”, and is the primary reasonbehind a

person’s wants and behavior. Although different societal groups have their ownculture that

affects consumers’ buying behavior, the extent to which it influences thebehavior might vary

from country to country. Each cultural group can be divided into groupsconsisting of people

with common life experiences and situations, also known as subcultures, such as nationality,

racial groups, religion, and geographical areas. Thethird cultural factor is social class, which

is constituted upon among other variables:occupation, income, education, and wealth.

NARSEE MONJEE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE &ECONOMICS 6

A STUDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS PEPSI & COCA COLA

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

SOCIAL FACTORS:

The second classification of factors affecting consumer behavior is social grouping, which is

composed of small groups, social roles and status, and family that affect all individuals to

some extent. Some of these groups have a direct influence on a person, i.e. membership

groups, groups that a person can belong to, and reference groups which “serve as direct (face-

to-face) or indirect points of comparison or reference in forming aperson’s attitudes or

beliefs”. However, some people are affected by groups in which they do not belong to; these

reference groups include aspirational groups, groups that a person desires to belong to and a

fan’s admiration for an idol, etc. Finally, a wife, husband or a child have strong influences on

a consumer and thus the family is the most vital consumer buying organization in society.

PERSONAL FACTORS:

Consumers’ personal characteristics, like for instance age and life-cycle stage, occupation,

economic situation, lifestyle, as well as personality and self-concept influence consumers’

buying behavior. Moreover, depending on a person’s occupation and financial situation, as

well as the stage in life a person is in, his/her demands for products shift. A person’s lifestyle

forms his/her world and the way he/she decides to act, thus a person’s activities, interests,

andopinions constitute their lifestyle, as well as affecting the choice of products.

Moreover, all people are individual; hence have a unique personality of different

characteristics, which is often portrayed with traits, such as self-confidence, dominance,

sociability, autonomy, defensiveness, adaptability, and aggressiveness.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS:

Four objects constitute this group of factors, namely motivation, perception, learning, and

beliefs & attitudes. When a person is motivated, he/she acts accordingly and the actions taken

are affected by the person’s perception of the situation. Perception is the individual selection,

organization and interpretation of the information which flows through people’s senses, and

consequently a meaningful picture of the world is formed. When people experience new

things, changes take place in their behavior, i.e. they learn new things when they take action.

As a result, beliefs and attitudes are acquired and hence affect the buying behavior.

CHAPTER 2

RESEACH METHODOLOGY

NARSEE MONJEE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE &ECONOMICS 8

A STUDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS PEPSI & COCA COLA

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

A. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Methodology is the systematic analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It

comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with the

branch of knowledge.

A methodology does not set out to provide solutions. Therefore, it is not the same thing

methods. Instead, it offers the theoretical base for understanding which method, set of

methods or so called “best practices” can be applied to specific case.

Merriam-Webster dictionary provide two definition on research methodology are as follow:

1.”the analysis of the principles of methods, rule, and postulates employed by a

discipline”

2.”the systematic study of, methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a

discipline”

FEATURES OF RESEACH METHODOLOGY:

Systematic process

Purpose of research methodology

Reliance on empirical evidence

Commitment to objectivity

Verifiability

Ethical neutrality

Development of principles and theories

Multipurpose activity

Use of induction and deduction methods

NARSEE MONJEE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE &ECONOMICS 9

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

B. TYPE OF THE RESEARCH:The research activity can be classified into different categories.Some of the main types of

research are as follow:

1. Basic research

2. Applied research

3. Descriptive research

4. Analytical research

5. Empirical research

6. qualitative research

7. quantitative research

8. other types of research

I have used descriptive research in this project the term descriptive research refers to provides

data about the population or universe being studied. But its only describe the “who, what,

when, where and how” of a situation. It does not describe what caused a particular situation.

The two most commonly types of descriptive research methods include observation method

and survey method. I am using survey method in this project.

C. OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH:The target of this research is to identify and discussthe two global companies, Coca Cola and

Pepsi Cola, which succeed to be the most known soft drinks companies in the world. And

also to know the consumer behaviour towards Pepsi and coca cola.

D.HYPOTHESIS:The formulation of hypothesis is an important step in the formulation of research problem.

The hypothesis is a tentative proposition formulated to determine its validity. The hypothesis

may prove to be correct or incorrect. In any event, it lead to an empirical test. Whatever the

outcome, the hypothesis is a question put in such a way that an answer of some kind can be

forthcoming.

According to me Pepsi is more popular brand then the coca cola and many people prefer

Pepsi more than the coca cola.

E. DATA SOURCES:

There are two methods for collection of data

1. primary data

2. secondary data

The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time, and therefore it

happens to be original in character.

The secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and which

have been passed through the statical process

And I have used the both the methods to collect the data majority of the data is collected from

primary source. Secondary data collected from coca cola and Pepsi official websites.

F. SAMPLE SIZE:Sampling size refers to a part of the universe is selected for obtaining information. Therefore,

sampling offers several advantages to the researcher.

The sample for this study consisted of 30 respondents. The selected respondents in the age

group of 25-55 years belonged to varied employment, gender and income groups. Convenient

sampling technique was applied in selecting respondents as sample.

G. LIMITATION OF STUDY:

Due to the time constraint and the limitation in the number of people whoconduct the field

sampling, this research study is limiting field sampling to three locations only.

of health consciousness among consumers and parents. They believe that these drinks provide

superior nutrition because of their status & high beverage cost.

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

A. SUMMARY:

The soft drinks and beverages can be said to be as old as a civilization of man. Soft drinks are

known as refresher and man need to refresh himself in the time of his thirst, fatigue and

dullness.

The conventional Indian soft drink pattern includes lemon juice, butter milk, lassi etc. with

entry of British India got westernized and synthetic soft drinks which were part of the

dominant life style of the western world came floating to India.

Research is done through personal survey with questionnaire for customers and found that

Pepsi has good market potential as compared to coca cola and consumer prefer this brand

because of taste and refreshing and they expect some more improved advertisement so that it

can compete more with Pepsi.

NARSEE MONJEE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE &ECONOMICS 31

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

B. FINDING:

Majority of the consumers prefer Pepsidue to its Brand Image, Taste &

Quality.

Most of the consumers of a Coca-Cola brand are not sosatisfied and

consumers of Pepsi are satisfied with theoffers provided by the company.

From the survey it has been observed thatadvertisements have shown a greater

impact onpurchase decision.

Pepsi has got a greater market share compared tothe coca cola because of its

product line & product range.

From the survey I observe that 100% of the respondent are not aware about

what the coca cola sponsor.

My hypothesis is proven because majority of the respondent prefer Pepsi then

coca cola and the advertisement of Pepsi is more attractive to the customer.

NARSEE MONJEE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE &ECONOMICS 32

MCOM(II) BANKING & FINANCE

C. RECOMMENDATION:

The Pepsi Company should maintain its consistencyand should introduce new models

according to thechanging needs in the market.

Both companies should concentrate on consumer offers to retain the existing

consumers as well as to attract the new customers.

The companies have to pay a greater attention on its distribution activities to satisfy

the needs of all types of consumers.

The companies should redesign the packing models of the products to meet the

expectations of consumers.

The companies should come up with timely and updated advertisements, which

include sponsorships to different social responsibility campaigns

To influence the consumers buying behavior, both the companies should maintain good quality, availability and create awareness; brand image towards their products in the mind set of consumers,
