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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
