REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Charles (1999) has analysed that the astonishing growth in Americans' stock
portfolios in the 1990s has been a major force behind the growth of consumer
spending. This article reviews the relationship between stock market movements
and
consumer
satisfaction.
Using
various
econometric
techniques
and
specifications, the authors find that the propensity to consume out of aggregate
household wealth has exhibited instability over the postwar period. They also show
that the dynamic response of consumption growth to an unexpected change in
wealth is extremely short-lived, implying that forecasts of consumption growth one
or more quarters ahead are not typically improved by accounting for changes in
existing wealth.
Ranganathan (2003), has stated the investor behavior from the marketing world
and financial economics has brought together to the surface an exciting area for
study and research: behavioral finance. The realization that this is a serious subject
is, however, barely dawning. Analysts seem to treat financial markets as an
aggregate of statistical observations, technical and fundamental analysis. A rich
Dijk (2007) has conducted 25 years of research on the size effect in international
equity returns. Since Banz's (1981) original study, numerous papers have appeared
on the empirical regularity that small firms have higher risk-adjusted stock returns
than large firms. A quarter of a century after its discovery, the outlook for the size
effect seems bleak. Yet, empirical asset pricing models that incorporate a factor
portfolio mimicking underlying economic risks proxied by firm size are
increasingly used by both academics and practitioners. Applications range from
event studies and mutual fund performance measurement to computing the cost of
equity capital. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the size effect
and synthesize the extensive debate on the validity and persistence of the size
effect as an empirical phenomenon as well as the theoretical explanations for the
effect. We discuss the implications for academic research and corporate finance
and suggest a number of avenues for further research.
Vasudev (2007) analysed the developments in the capital markets and corporate
governance in India since the early 1990s when the government of India adopted
the economic liberalization programme. The legislative changes significantly
altered the theme of Indian Companies Act 1956, which is based on the Companies
Act 1948 (UK). The amendments, such as the permission for nonvoting shares and
buybacks, carried the statute away from the earlier business model and towards
the 'financial model' of the Delaware variety. Simultaneously, the government
established the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), patterned on the
Securities and Exchange Commission of US. Through a number of other policy
measures, the government steered greater investments in the stock market and
promoted the stock market as a central institution in the society. The article points
out that the reform effort was inspired, at least in part, by the governments reliance
on foreign portfolio inflows into the Indian stock market to fund the countrys trade
and current account deficits.
Johnson (2008) has stated that Product quality is probably under-valued by firms
because there is little consensus about appropriate measures and methods to
research quality. The authors suggest that published ratings of a product's quality
are a valid source of quality information with important strategic and financial
impact. The authors test this thesis by an event analysis of abnormal returns to
stock prices of firms whose new products are evaluated in the Wall Street Journal.
Quality has a strong immediate effect on abnormal returns, which is substantially
higher than that for other marketing events assessed in prior studies. In dollar
terms, these returns translate into an average gain of $500 million for firms that got
good reviews and an average loss of $200 million for firms that got bad reviews.
Moreover, there are some important asymmetries. Rewards to small firms with
good reviews of quality are greater than those to large firms with good reviews. On
the other hand, large firms are penalized more by poor reviews of quality than they
are rewarded for good reviews. The authors discuss the research, managerial,
investing, and policy implications.
external finance the need for an increase in the multilateral financial institutions.
India being a transition economy is changing from a centrally planned economy to
a free market. It is undergoing economic liberalization, macroeconomic
stabilization where immediate high inflation is brought under control, and
restructuring and privatization in order to create a financial sector and move from
public to private ownership of resources. These changes often may lead to
increased inequality of incomes and wealth, dramatic inflation and a fall of GDP.
Mayank (2009) has analysed the role of two important forces - the regulator and
the capital market as determinant of external finance in transition economies
analyses the changing pattern and future prospectus of external finance to India
and reviews the role of external finance. Under this framework, the study evaluates
current Indian corporate governance practices in light of external finance.
Rajeshwari and Moorthy (---) has conducted the study and analysed that Mutual
Fund is a retail product designed to target small investors, salaried people and
others who are intimidated by the mysteries of stock market but, nevertheless, like
to reap the benefits of stock market investing. At the retail level, investors are
unique and are a highly heterogeneous group. Hence, their fund/scheme selection
also widely differs. Investors demand inter-temporal wealth shifting as he or she
progresses through the life cycle. This necessitates the Asset Management
Companies (AMCs) to understand the fund/scheme
selection/switching behaviour of the investors to design suitable products to meet
the changing financial needs of the investors. With this background a survey was
conducted among 350 Mutual Fund Investors in 10 Urban and Semi Urban centers
From the above reviews it can be concluded that many researches had been
conducted before relating to the customer patterns and the few researchers studied
the literature only on the basis of returns. Analysts treated financial markets as an
aggregate of statistical observations, technical and fundamental analysis but no
researches had been conducted on Impact of global factors on Indian Economy.
This gap had been identified so that in this respect present study had been
conducted.
Introduction
The customer satisfaction is the relationship between the customer expectations
and the products perceived performance. If the product matches the expectations,
the customer is satisfied, if it exceeds, the customer is highly satisfied. Customer
satisfaction has become increasingly important, as more firms look at whether all
attempts to improve quality, price, and service of the product and generate
sufficient sales and profit.
Company should examine the Customer expectation and preferences, how well the
firm is meeting those expectations. For measuring the customer satisfaction,
company should use the tools like suggestion and findings systems, Survey,
customer analysis, Precaution in measuring customer satisfaction and Ghost
Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offer's performance in
relation to the buyer expectations. Customer satisfaction is a customer's feelings of
pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing of product's perceived
performance in relation to his or her expectations. if the performance fall short of
expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the
expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations,
the customer is highly satisfied or delighted. Customer satisfaction levels can be
measured using survey techniques and questionnaires.
