INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE SURVEY

1.2 PRODUCT-AN OVERVIEW

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY

BACK GROUND OF THE SURVEY
The Indian two-wheeler sector is the largest in terms of volumes among the
entire segment in Automobiles Industry. The Indian two-wheeler market has a
size of over Rs 100 billion with sales of more than 3.7 million units in 2000-
2001 and has been growing at 7% rate over 1887-2001.

Five players mainly dominate the two-wheeler segment. All these companies
have foreign collaboration mainly with well known Japanese firms. All these
players have been expanding capacity and widening their product base which
confirm to Euro Environment norms.

Indian is one of the lowest cost production bases for two-wheelers. In the last
four to five yrs, the two wheeler market has witnessed a marked shift towards
motorcycles at the expense of scoters. In the process the share of motorcycle
segment has grown from 48% to 58%.

The urban customers are aspiring to possess the latest in terms of looks,
technology, energy efficient and sleeker looking models that replaced the staid
ones in the market. In rural areas, consumers have come to prefer sturdier
bikes to withstand the bad road conditions.

Marketing is a dynamic field. In past few years, many important and dynamic
changes have taken place in marketing field as a result of rapid technological
changes, globalization as well as unemployment and stagnation, etc. The
marketing executives have been forced to assume wide range of
responsibilities. The companies have been more market driven in their
strategic decision-making.

To cater this need of decision-making, a formalized means of acquiring

information is necessary. This is need is by “Market Research”. The American
Marketing Association Defines Market Research as “The systematic gathering,

10
recording and analyzing of data about problem relating to marketing of goods
and services.” The subjects to which companies apply their marketing research
are markets, products, sales force problems, distribution channel, advertising
and other problems broader than marketing such as Business and short-term
for

YAMAHA MOTOR INDIA (YMI)

 1.2 PRODUCT – OVERVIEW
Yamaha R15

The R Concept:
The YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 are equipped with under cowls that are based on the
image of a diffuser, to give them the best form for aero-management. These are
not cowls for simply enclosing the engine, but forms composed of blade
surfaces that actively control airflow. This spirit has been directly inherited by
the YZF-R15.

“Harmony between rider and machine.” YAMAHA's Human Technology

involves studying the form of the motorcycle actually in motion with the rider
on it. The R series is the embodiment of

1) A wide frontal space that protects the rider,

2) An easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and
allows them to steer effectively,

3) The glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of
airflow behind the rider, and

12
4) A sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a
harmonious package. These characteristics have been splendidly reproduced in
the YZF-R15.Additionally; the designs were developed in the same modelling
room where YZF-R1 designers worked. Information was shared, ensuring that
the R lineage would be transmitted. In addition, the model also incorporates a
multitude of adjustments for the Indian market including seat shape that allows
for tandem riding (integrated with the main seat).

Yamaha Enticer

The bike on test with me is the base version without disc brakes or self start,
costing Rs.55, 185/-. If you add Rs.9,000/- to it for disc brake and self start, it
still is only Rs.64,000/-, which is still Rs.25,000/- less than the Eliminator
which comes with self start and disc as standard.

While the Enticer entices aspirants with its price, the Eliminator eliminates most
aspirants with its price.

So, what is it like? Looks it has in plenty. Raised handlebar. Long wheel-base.
Easy rider seating geometry. Foot boards instead of foot pegs. Fat rear tyre.
Single pod instruct. Chromed RV mirrors. And currently available in three
colours: Gold (light yellow), Burgundy (reddish) and Black.

Motive power comes from the same square, 54 mm x 54 mm bore x stroke,

123.7cc pot that powers the Yamaha YBX. While max. Torque of 1.06 KgM at
6500 rpm is identical to the YBX, the 11 bhp (PS) of power in the Enticer
engine comes at a slower 8000 rpm while in the YBX it comes at a higher 8500
rpm. Compression ratio of the Enticer is 10:1.

17
Wheelbase is 1375 mm with a claimed ground clearance of 140 mm. Kerb
weight (with oil and full petrol tank) is 125 kg while dry weight is 116 kg. Fuel
tank capacity is 13 litres with a reserve of 2.4 litres. The VM20SS, Ucal /
Mikuni carburettor breathes thru a wet type air cleaner. Fuel is ignited by an
NGK spark plug, model CR7HSA with ideal plug gap being 0.65 mm. Ignition
is CDI.

acid battery. Headlight power is 12v-35w. Front tyre is a 4-ply rating 2.75 x 18
(Zapper FS pattern), while at the rear is a 6-ply rating 120/80 x 16, Y-pattern
Zapper.

Engine oil specified is Yam lube 4-stroke motor oil (20W40 type SF) or
equivalent. Yamaha also warns NOT to use oils that contain anti-friction
modifiers or car oils (often referred to as Energy conserving oils) that contain
anti-friction additives, since this will cause clutch slippage and will in turn
reduce life of components and cause drop in engine performance. While total
quantity of engine oil is 1.2 litres, top up quantity is a convenient one litre.

 Yamaha RXG 135
Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

The present models of Yamaha are cashing in on the popularity gained by the
Yamaha RX100. Yamaha decided to launch upgraded models after the earlier
model could not conform to the emission standards. The first was the RXG 135.
It made up for the power loss due to improvement in the engine to tackle
emission norms. However, it could not match the performance and the
expectation that people had developed about Yamaha because of the RX 100.
Then came the YEIS 135. There is a considerable difference in performance due
to changed gear ratio and tuning. The styling has also been adapted to reflect a
more contemporary ethos. This is finally a bike that Yamaha lovers love to call
their own.

27
Escorts Ace
Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

A product of contemporary technology, it has a happy blend of hi-power hi-pick

up 175cc, 10bhp engine with ecolube and alfine cylinder for better cooling and
longer engine life-ideal for tropical climate. Its aerodynamic, modern styling
reflects right from the front fairing to the rear trims with integrated lights. Its
longer wheel base, wide tyres, better ground clearance and bigger brake drums
make it a safe bike for the Indian roads.

Yamaha RXZ
Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

This is an entirely new look Yamaha, achieved with the help of the side panel,
matching headlight cover, engine guard and fuel tank has enhanced the sale and
the look of the bike. To go with the new style is the 135cc engine that the
Yamaha introduced with the RX 135. The engine along with its styling changes
brought the spirit of the RX 100 back into the Yamaha RXZ. The addition of a
tachometer to the Speedo consloe looks a bit incomplete but has made up for the
lack of instrumentation in the earlier models. An addition is the headlight,
which improves the styling, and also the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

 Research Methodology:

2.1 Research Design:

Research Design is a arrangement of conditions and analysis of data in a

manner that companies relevance of data to be collected. The sample to be
selected in a manner in which the data so collected is to be organized. It
constitutes the main body of the research design. The present study conducted
through a survey method using a well-formed and framed questionnaire.

The research design is the conceptual structure within which research is

conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and
analysis of data. As such the design includes an outline of what the researcher
will do from writing the Hypothesis and its operational implications to the final
analysis of data.

The research deign used for this project was exploratory in nature as there was
no hypothesis to test. The project provides some general information about
Insurance industry of Pune city and about customer’s preferences among the
alternatives. So these can be general information but not any specific result. It
provides information about the actual facts related to the target segment.

32
2.2 Types of Data:

2.2.1 Primary Data:

Primary Data were collected by survey of customers in pune. Primary Data

were collected through personal interview with structure questionnaire. In all
the methods,

Personal interview method was most suitable for the market survey.

2.2.2 Secondary Data:

The Secondary Data are, on the other hand, are those which have already
been collected by someone else and which have already been passed through
statistical process.

Secondary Data were collected through Internet and Library.

2.3 Sources of Data:

The primary source was used in the research. The information gathered for
this project is differing from person to person as there is differences in each
human being. So the observation and the survey of the people are the primary
sources of data from this project. As such there is no secondary data available
for the information required for a particular matter. So the primary source of
data collection can only give the real and detailed information required for the
project.

33
2.4 Sample Plan:

Sample Plan may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate

or totality on the basis of which a judgment or inference about the aggregate or
totality is made. In other words, it is the process of obtaining information about
an entire population by examining only a part of it.

2.4.1 Universe:

From a statistical point of view, the term „universe‟ refers to the total of the
items or units in any field of inquiry or to the total of items about which
information is desired.

For the purpose of this study the universe has been defined as “The set
consisting of all the customer of Insurance in Pune city (Sinhgad institute and
sinhgad road)

2.4.2 Sample Size:

Sample Size means how many people should be surveyed. Large sample
size gives more reliable results than small one. Sampling is the method and
selecting sample for studying the position of universe in total.

As here, we selected 50 people for survey.

34
2.5 Methods of Data collection:

Methods by which data are collected. The type of data collection begins
after a research problem has been defined and research design chalked out.

Here the data were collected through two methods.

1) Personal Interview Method.

2) Telephone Interview Method.

2.5.1 Questionnaire:

A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a

definite order on a form or set of forms. A questionnaire is sent to the persons
concerned with request to answer the question and return the questionnaire. The
questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand
the questions and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose in the
questionnaire itself. The respondents have to answer the questions on their own.

In this project questionnaire were given to the 50 customer and information

collected form those questionnaires were used for data processing and analysis.

2.5.2 Formation of Questionnaire:

Formation of questionnaire could be structured or un-structured

questionnaire. Structured questionnaire are those questionnaire in which there
are definite, concrete and pre-determined questions. The form of the question
may be either closed ended questions (giving option such as yes or no) and

35
open ended questions(inviting free response) but this should be stated in
advance and not during questioning. When this characteristics are not present in
a questionnaire it can be term as un-structured questionnaire.

In this project structured questionnaire were used with closed and open ended
questions in it. As this form of questionnaire reduces the difficulty of the
respondent while answering the questions?

2.6 Field Work:

Field work is defined as the place where you have conducted your survey and
with whose help you have taken.

Field work for this project was performed by me without the help of any
people. My Field work consists of questionnaire which I have circulated among
50 customers so that I can get information that was required for the project.

2.7 Data Analysis Technique:

The data after collection has to be processed and analyzed in a accordance

with the outline laid down for the purpose at the tine of developing the
research plan. By Analysis we mean the computation of certain indices or
measures along with searching for patterns of relationship that exist among
the data groups.

36
For this project percentage method is used for the analysis of the available
data. With the help of percentage method the data has been converted into
percentage and has been represented with the help of graph.

2.8 Limitations:

1) The recommendations are based on the respondents, which may include an

element of bias.

2) Respondents are the representatives of others but opinion of these few

respondents may differ from a group of thousand people.

3) Span of time was very short.

4) More time require for completing a single interview through a structured

questionnaire.

5) Complete dependence of decision making on the outcome of the research.

2.9 Presentation of report:

Presentation of reports starts with declaration which declares that the

following survey is done by me. Then guide certificate is attached which certify
that this project has been carried out by the student of S.Y B.B.A of Sinhgad
college of science for the fulfillment of BBA degree. Then list of table and graph
has been provided which enables the reader to know the number of table and

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

54
 SUGGESTIONS

After looking into the finding of the survey! I would like to give some
suggestion to the company. So that Yamaha India Pvt. Ltd. can increase its
share in the two wheeler automobile market. It has been found in the survey that
Yamaha bikes are facing problems due to its features of motorcycle. The
customers are basically complaining about the mileage, which is the major
problem the bike is facing. Apart from the survey, what I feel is that the reason
of motorcycle sale not picking up in the market as compared to other brands is
the lack of aggressive marketing

I would like to give 40% of the reasons of not picking up sales of bike to its
product and 60% to the improper marketing strategy which is the main reasons
as to why the company is not able to increase its share in the market.

Company must focus its attention on the marketing aspects of motorcycle

segment because I found to that there is still lack of awareness of the product in
the market which is a matter that has to be carefully looked upon strategically
and move forward to strive for excellence in the market.

In the end, I would say that the customer satisfaction should be the main target
and mission of the company of the company to create the brand loyalty among
the customer.

55
 CONCLUSION

 The Yamaha bikes are perceived as power bike in the market.

 There is need to reposition Yamaha bikes as mileage is the most attractive

factor in the Indian Customer‟s mind.

 The company needs aggressive marketing efforts.

 The customer satisfaction level is up to the mark.

 The company has about 10% market share in the two-wheeler segment of
automobile industry.
