In this era of cut throat competition, no company can even survive in the market
place without knowing its and its products strengths and weaknesses. It has to fortify
itself against threats from the environment and exploit its strengths or increase profits.
And in order to do so, the company has to conduct regular surveys to know the
customer’s opinions, needs, and preferences. This helps the company to manufacture the
product like wise for each customer’s expectations.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
PROFILE OF THE STUDY
In this era of cut throat competition, no company can survive in the market place without
knowing its product’s strengths and weaknesses. It has to fortify (Strengthen) itself
against threats from the environment and exploit its strengths for increasing profits. In
order to do so, the company has to conduct regular surveys to know the customer’s
opinions, needs, and preferences. This helps the company to manufacture the product
according to customer’s expectations. It has now become more important for the
customer confidence and higher positioning of buyer perception. Thus, Surveys becomes
genuine key to success.
The Bike segment is Dominated by 4 major players viz. HERO HONDA ,
BAJAJ, TVS, ROYAL ENFIELD .Besides these, there are players like –
HONDA(Alone) , LML, KINETIC, SUZUKI.
The expanding Indian market, the growing size of the middle class and the rise
in aspirations of the youth along with opening up of the Indian economy have collectively
influenced the steady growth of the two wheeler market in India. With leading foreign
brands in collaborations with Indian manufacturers entering the Indian market, the
customer could not have asked for more. In fact, the Indian bike market has grown
immensely and the preference for variety looks, design has brought in a number of
models in the market. In the last 3 to 4 years, the craze for motorcycle over the scooters
has picked up and one can find today even girls crazy for a motorbike not only in the
Metros but in small towns and cities also.
Trying to catch up with these, manufacturers are busy working out on customer
profiles. With the increase in competition one can find a think of discounts including:
cash rebates and free accessories to push sales of the commuter bikes. Certain changes
are also visible as far as customer preferences are concerned. The basic 100cc bike
market is suddenly experiencing a slow down in the growth. This Commuter bike was a
favorite till the other day, commanding up to 90% of the total bike sales. The shift
towards 150 cc bikes is suddenly discernable and the segment is expected to grow in near
future. Manufacturers are now rushing in to introduce bikes in this segment. Bajaj has
launched Pulsar-Dtsi 150cc higher on the power ladder, Honda has come up with
Unicorn and TVS has recently launched Apache.
MILESTONES
MILESTONES
• India’s first 2 seater 50cc Moped TVS 50, launched in Aug 1980.
• In 1982 SCL established Joint Venture with Suzuki Motor
Corporation.
• In 1994 the company entered the market segment of scooters with introduction of
Scooty 2S, which was totally an indigenous design.
• Introduced India's first catalytic converter enabled motorcycle, the 110cc Shogun
in Dec 1996.
• Launched India's first 5-speed motorcycle, the Shaolin in Oct 1997.
• Launched TVS Victor, 4-stroke 110 cc motorcycles, in August 2001; India’s first
fully indigenously designed and manufactured motorcycle.
• In 2000 the first 4 stroke motorcycle was launched called Fiero
• Launched TVS Star in Sept 2004, a 100 cc motorcycle which is ideal for rough
terrain
• Launched TVS Apache in Nov 2005. It finally went on to be the Bike of the
Year for 2006, winning 6 prestigious awards
TVS Apache
TVS Apache with its shapely streamlined tank and engine design is really an eye
-stopper. Its smooth and flawless finish makes this bike desirable to the market. Its
tough but light 6 spoke black alloy wheels are really supportive for better control and
excellent riding of this two wheeler. Its uniquely designed head lamp has become one
of the best head turner in the market of two wheelers.
Its 240 mm disc brake is helpful in stopping one in any sudden situation to
avoid accident. Its all gear start and low friction engine with RCF technology are the
key factor of better efficiency of this bike. It is further equipped with various
upgraded technology like monotube inverted gas filled shocks, IDI lean burn, iE
surge (intake and exhaust resonator), synchro stiff chassis etc. for the proper safety
and security of the persons seating on the bike.
Its symbol, the Wings, represents the company's unwavering dedication in achieving
goals that are unique and above all, conforming to international norms. These wings
are now in India as Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Company Ltd., Japan. In September 2004, Honda
Motorcycle and Scooters India Limited (HMSI), the wholly owned subsidiary of the
Japan-based Honda Motor Company Limited (HMCL), launched its first 150cc
motorcycle named 'Unicorn.' Priced at Rs. 50,043 (ex-showroom price, Delhi),
Unicorn had a four stroke 13.3 bhp engine with five gears. The new bike was
available in five colours and was designed to achieve a speed of 0 to 60 kmph in five
seconds. Unicorn was promoted with the caption "Be a wing rider." (Refer Exhibit I
for a visual of Unicorn). Targeted at youth, Unicorn looked sportier than all the
existing motorcycles in the premium segment and was pitted against Bajaj Pulsar, the
leader with 75 percent market share in that segment.
Honda Unicorn
This bike with powerful 4 stroke 150 cc engine delivering output of 13.3 bhp engine
clubbed with many other high end equipments like Constant Volume (CV)
Carburetor, pulse exhaust system, offset crank and 2 way air jacket. Its multi mapping
CDI, roller rocker arm, 5 speed gears, tumble free combustion etc. determine the
performance as well as its aesthetic value. Its aerodynamic body lining, sporty and
sleek design, appealing tail lamp and excellent body graphics etc are enhancing its
style statement day by day. Unique shock absorbing mono suspension prevents
discomfort due to the sudden jerk caused by uneven road. Its flexible seating
arrangement, ample foot space gives the total comfort of journey. Fully equipped with
various cutting edge technologies, this bike comes with hole plugging mechanism,
tuff up tube, easy primary kick etc.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Before getting into details of Consumer Behaviour, one must go through certain basic
terminologies. In general terms both ‘Consumer’ and ‘Customer’ are considered the
same but they are quite different.
The term ‘Customer’ is some what different from the term ‘consumer’. The term
customer is used to refer to someone who purchases goods and services from a particular
store or company. Thus a customer is defined in terms of a specific term while a
consumer is not
‘Consumer’ may be referred to any one engaged in evaluating, acquiring, using or
disposing of goods and services which he expects will satisfy his
needs.
So ultimately Consumers are that individual who consumes or uses a product,
which may or may not be purchased by him.
So after getting into these terms we need to get into the details of “Consumer
Behaviour”.
Consumer Behaviour – Consumer behaviour refers to how a consumer behaves or acts
or reacts in making a purchase of goods and services of his choice in different situations
The term consumer Behaviour can be defined as, “The behaviour that consumers
display in searching for purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products, services
and ideas which they expect will satisfy their needs.”
- Leon G. Schiffman and Leslie Lazar Kanuk.
The study of consumer behaviour not only focuses on how and why consumers make
buying decisions, but also focuses on the uses which consumers make of the goods they
buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. If the goods after use don’t satisfy the
consumers, they my feel dissatisfied perhaps because post- purchase services are not up
to their satisfaction, and thus, this may influence their purchase of the goods and it may
also influence the buying decision of many others who might come in contact with them.
The detailed study of Consumer Behaviour or Consumer Preferences focuses
on-
Who Buys products or services?
How do they buy products or services?
Where do they buy them?
How often do they buy them?
When do they buy them?
Why do they buy them?
How often do they use them?
These questions will help in understanding the factors that influence the decision making
process of the consumers. The buyer’s decision making process includes the following:-
1. Problem recognition
2. Information search
3. Evaluation of alternatives
4. Purchase decision
1. Problem recognition: - First and the foremost step is to identify the problem i.e.
what actually one wants with regard to the product.
2. Information Search: - Second step is to search the relevant information
regarding the Product which one wants.
3. Evaluation of alternatives: - Third step is to evaluate the collected information
i.e. analyze the information.
4. Purchase decision: - In forth step the product is actually purchased.
5. Post purchase behaviour: - In fifth step the consumer actually reacts against the
quality, quantity etc received after the purchasing the product i.e. in this stage he
reacts on the basis of his getting satisfied after the purchase of the product.
The buyer’s decisions include the following:-
Product choice
Brand choice
Dealer choice
Purchase timing
Purchase amount.
Consumer perception
How do Buyers form their preference? Their preferences are influenced by their
past buying experience, friend’s and associate’s advice, and the marketer’s and
competitor’s information and promises. Though customer preference is a very qualitative
term and it is very difficult to measure. In this study an effort has been made to measure
the customer preference level.
Customer Satisfaction
“Satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from
comparing a product’s perceived performance in relation to his or her expectation”
To know about the customer preference and decision process with regard to 150cc
bike.

• Schiffman. G. Leon and kanuk lazare Leslie 1
- Study of the customer
behaviour is the study of how individuals make decisions to spend their available
resources (Time, Money and Efforts) on consumption related items. It includes
the study what they buy, whey they buy it, when they buy it, where they buy it,
how often they buy it and how often they use it. The primary purpose for the
study consumer behaviour as apart of marketing curriculum is to understand how
and how customers make their purchase decisions. There insights enable
marketers to design more effective marketing strategies.
• Gupta.C .B and Dr. Nair. N.Rajan 2 - A business is based on understanding the
customer and providing the kind of products that the customer wants.
• Mamoria C.B. and Mamoria Satish 3
- Consumer behaviour is the process
where by individuals decide what, when, where, how and from whom to purchase
goods and services. Buying behaviour may be viewed as an orderly process here
by individual interacts with his environment for the purpose of making market
decision on products and services.
• Nair Suja. R.4 - The success of the firm will be determined by how effective it
has been in meeting the diverse customer needs and wants by treating each
customer as unique and offering products and services to suit his/her needs.
• Bennett Peter.D. And Kassarjian Haroldh 5 - A great deal of research activity
in marketing is design to shed light on the customer decision process.
• Kothari C.R.6 For data analysis different statistical techniques are being used
such as scaling techniques, correlation, hypothesis testing.

METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem, which is a
science of study how research is done scientifically. Thus research methodology
encompasses the research methods or techniques; the research is capable of being
evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others.
⇒ SAMPLING
Sampling may be defined as the selection of some parts of an agreement or
totality for the purpose of study. All the items in any field of inquiry constitute a
universe or population, a complete enumeration of all the items in the population
is known as Census inquiry. But when the field of inquiry is large this method
becomes difficult to adopt because of the limited no. of resources involved in the
case sample survey method is chosen under which units are selected in such a way
that they represent the entire universe.
SAMPLING DESIGN
• CENSUS METHOD: - All the items in any field of inquiry constitute a
‘Universe’ or ‘Population’. A complete enumeration of all the items in the
‘Population’ is known as a Census inquiry. It can be presumed that in such an
inquiry, when all items are covered, no element of chance is left and highest
accuracy is obtained. But in practical it is not true in all cases. This type of inquiry
involves a great deal of time, money and energy. Therefore, when the field of
inquiry is large, this method becomes difficult to adopt because of the resources
involved.
I. Type of universe: - First and the foremost step is to clearly define the
universe to be studied. As I have taken the area of Yamuna Nagar City
(Haryana), so for me here the universe is Yamuna Nagar area. No
doubt it is a finite universe but the area is very big and can’t be
covered easily due to shortage of time.
When the representation function simply respects the relative order of the observations,
one speaks about ordinal MDS or non-metric MDS. When the dissimilarities are
transformed into disparities using a specific parametric function, one speaks about metric
MDS. The following models are available in the current version of XLSTAT:
Metric MDS
· Absolute MDS: each dissimilarity dij must exactly match the distance between
points i and j in the representation space.
· Ratio MDS: the ratio of all distance pairs in the representation space must
correspond to the ratio of the corresponding dissimilarities.
Interval MDS: the ratio of all differences between distances in the representation
space must correspond to the ratio of the differences of the corresponding dissimilarities.
Note: the current version of XLSTAT does not support negative disparities that may
occur if you use the "interval" model. If an error message is displayed on this subject, you
must use another model to process your data.
Nonmetric MDS
· ordinal (1): the order of the distances in the representation space must correspond
to the order of the corresponding dissimilarities. If there are two dissimilarities of the
same rank, then there are no restrictions on the corresponding distances.
· ordinal (2): identical to the previous model, but if dissimilarities exist in the same
rank, the corresponding distances must be equal.
The stress measures the quality of the representation for a given number of dimensions.
The lower it is, the better the representation. Various formulas have been proposed by
different authors. Although the minimization is always based on the normalized stress,
XLSTAT allows to show the results using the four formulas defined below:
· Raw stress: it gives the quality of the representation based on the squared errors of
the representation compared with the disparities. The formula gives:
Where Dij is the disparity between individuals i and j, and dij is the Euclidean distance
on the representation for the same individuals. wij is the weight of the ij proximity (value
is 1 by default).
· Normalized Stress: it gives the quality of the representation based on the squared
errors of the representation compared with the disparities, divided by the sum of the
squared disparities. The formula gives:
· Kruskal's stress 1: it gives the quality of the representation based on the square
root of the squared errors of the representation compared with the disparities, divided by
the sum of the squared distances on the representation. The formula gives:
· Kruskal's stress 2: it gives the quality of the representation based on the square
root of the squared errors of the representation compared with the disparities, divided by
the sum of the squared centered distances on the representation. The formula gives:
where is the average of the distances on the representation. This formula usually results
in a stress value that is approximately twice the value obtained for Kruskal's stress 1.
In order to know if the representation quality is good enough, some rules exist, mostly
based on the Kruskal's stress 1. However, the Shepard diagram that allows to compare the
dissimilarities with the distances and to observe some ruptures in the ordination of the
values is a empirical but reliable method. The more the chart looks linear, the better the
representation. The way the stress evolves when the number of dimensions decreases is
also interesting to detect if a significant amount of information is being lost in the
selected representation.
MDS Interpretation
The factors shown below in the table are selected are the basis of the study and are
used to apply MDS (Multi Dimensional scaling) and the analyses are as follows (See
Annexure 1). MDS (Multi Dimensional scaling) has been used because there are
multiple factors and no other scaling technique could be used to show the analyses
authenticated.

Correlation
One of the Statistical tool which I am going to apply in my project is correlation.
Correlation is their when change in the value of one variable influences the change in the
value of other variable.
“The statistical tool with the help of which relationship between two or more than
two variables are studied is called correlation”
It refers to the techniques used in measuring the closeness of the relationship between the
variables.
“Correlation analysis deals with the association between two or more variables.”
Correlation
Let us take the hypothesis as:-
H0 = Let there is no correlation between various factors like Price, Brand
H1 = Let there is correlation between various factors like Price, Brand name,

⇒ Data Collection
The task of data collection begins after the research program has been
defined and research design plan has been checked out. The data collected is
important part of research.
o QUESTIONNAIRE
The method of data collection is quite popular. I prepared a questionnaire after
knowing the different objectives of the study and considering all the things that
are required for studying the dissertation topic.
⇒ Hypothesis Testing(By applying Chi-Square)
Chi-square test is used when the set of observed frequencies obtained after

Various hindrances occurred while carrying out the research. They have acted as
limitation of the study and a few of them are:-
1. Short time period: The time period for carrying out the research was
short as a result of which many facts have been left unexplored.
2. Small area for research: The area for study was Yamuna Nagar
which is quite a small area to judge out the consumer preferences for
the various brands of television.
