CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of
the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to
product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and
physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and
recommend rate.
The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the customer may
have and other products against which the customer can compare the organizations
products. Customer satisfaction is defined as the number of customers or percentage of
total customers whose reported experience with a firm its products or its services exceeds
specified satisfaction goals.
The customer satisfaction as a state of mind in which the customer’s needs, wants
and expectation throughout the product of service life haven been met or exceeded,
resulting in future repurchase and loyalty.
Some researchers support the idea that satisfaction can be measured from a
perspective of performance evaluations, making the inclusion of the disconfirmation
process needless. Furthermore, satisfaction is not only consists of cognitive element but
has to include emotional element in determining customer satisfaction.
Definition:
Satisfaction is a person’s feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a
product’s perceived performance in relation to his experience.

Meaning:
The definition of customer satisfaction has been widely debated as organizations
increasingly attempt to measure it. Customer satisfaction can be experienced in a variety of
situations and connected to both goods and services. It is a highly personal assessment that
is greatly affected by customer expectations. Satisfaction also is based on the customer’s
experience of both contact with the organization (the “moment of truth” as it is called in
business literature) and personal outcomes. Some researchers define satisfied customer
within the private sector as “one who receives significant added value” to his/her bottom
line—a definition that may apply just as well to public services.
Customer satisfaction differs depending on the situation and the product or service.
A customer may be satisfied with a product or service, an experience, a purchase decision, a
salesperson, store, service provider, or an attribute or any of these.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION:

SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
The era of post independence from the 50's to 70's saw the emergence of the two-wheeler
industry. There were a handful of players like Bajaj Auto, YEZDI, Royal Enfield, though with
limited production. Manufacturing was licensed, expansion restricted and locations for
setting up plants decided by the government. Two wheeler productions were under a LAKH
during the 70's and iconic brands like Royal Enfield's bullet and Bajaj Auto's CHETAK won the
hearts of Indian customers."There was dowry and CHETAK. Dowry was bad and CHETAK is
good,” says RAHUL Bajaj, chairman, Bajaj Auto
After almost decades of a monopoly for Bajaj Auto, things began to change. The 70's and
80's saw new manufacturers like LML Scooters India and Kinetic emerge. This decade got
manufacturers the best margins and two wheeler productions went up to almost 4 and half
LAKH units
“Growth rate has not been what it was in 80s, the early 90s shift over period of scooters to
motorcycles” adds Bajaj.
But the 80's proved to be the transformational decade. A slew of global alliances were
struck. Hero tied up with Honda, TVS with Suzuki and Escorts with Yamaha. It was hero
Honda that moved the Indian market from scooters to bikes with the promise of fuel
economy, better technology and a stylish product. Market leader Bajaj was caught off guard
but managed to fight back. The ones who failed to make the transition continue to struggle.
Post liberalization the focus was on technology, pollution control, emission norms,
increased competition and segmentation. Two wheelers production grew to almost 38 LAKH
units. This period incidentally saw global alliances like Kinetic Honda, TVS Suzuki, and
Yamaha Escorts come apart with the foreign partners going it alone.
The last 7 years have seen an increase in exports, capacity expansion, more investments and
almost a dozen vehicle manufacturers. But global big boys like BMW, Harley Davidson,
Triumph, and DUCATI continue to give India the cold shoulder. While high-end bikes may
not make strategic sense yet is it the need of the road for the 100 cc bike.
And with small cars with a sub 1000 cc engine market and a price tag of a LAKH hitting the
Indian market, the two-wheeler makers may find the going tough.

SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,

The two-wheeler industry in India has grown rapidly in the country since the
announcement of the process of liberalization in 1991 by the then finance minister Dr.
MANMOHAN SINGH, Prime Minister of India. Previously, there were only a handful of two-
wheeler models available in the country. Currently, India is the second largest producer of
two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and Japan in terms of the number of
two-wheelers produced and the sales of two-wheelers respectively. The trend of owning
two-wheelers is due to a variety of facts peculiar to India. One of the chief factors is poor
public transport in many parts of India. Additionally, two-wheelers offer a great deal of
convenience and mobility for the Indian family. Bajaj auto began trading in imported VESPA
Scooters in 1948. Meanwhile Automobile Products of India (API) commenced production of
scooters in the country in the early 50‟s. Until 1958, API and Enfield were the only
producers of two-wheelers in India. However, Bajaj signed a technical collaboration in 1960
with PIAGGIO of Italy to produce Bajaj Scooters. This deal expired in 1971. The condition of
motorcycle manufacturers was no different. Until the mid 80‟s, there were only three major
motorcycle manufacturers in India namely RAJDOOT, Escorts, and Enfield.
The two-wheeler market was opened to foreign manufacturers in the mid 80‟s. The
industry, which had seen a smooth ride before, faced fierce foreign competition. Motorcycle
companies like the Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki, set up shop in India in collaboration with
various Indian two-wheeler companies. Companies like Escorts, RAJDOOT and faced
immense competition from smaller 100 cc Japanese technology motorbikes. Bikes
manufactured by Hero Honda, the only company manufacturing four-stroke bikes at that
time, gained massive popularity. In the mid 80‟s, Kinetic introduced a VARIOMATIC gearless
scooter in collaboration with Honda. This scooter became instantly popular with the
5
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
younger generation, especially people who found it difficult to use geared scooters. The
introduction of scooters created another segment for people such as women and teenagers
who could not get used to driving either motorcycles or gearless scooters. Many companies
such as KINETC, TVS, and Hero also started manufacturing mopeds that proved immensely
popular with people who wanted a simple riding machine. The change in the government’s
policy owning to pollution control norms and the Kyoto agreement saw the phasing out of
two stroke two-wheelers from production. Currently there are around two-wheeler
manufacturers in the country, they being Bajaj, Hero, Hero Honda, Honda, Indus, Kinetic,
Royal Enfield, Suzuki, TVS, and Yamaha. The latest trend in the two-wheeler market is the
introduction of electrically operated vehicles from a range of manufacturers such as Indus
and Hero. These can be recharged from convenient household electrical points. The only
disadvantage is speed, which is restricted to around 25 miles per hour.
The feeling of freedom and being one with the Nature comes only from riding a two
wheeler. Indians prefer the two wheelers because of their small manageable size, low
maintenance, PRICING and easy loan repayments. Indian streets are full of people of all age
groups riding a two wheeler. Motorized two wheelers are seen as a symbol of status by the
populace. Thus, in India, we would see swanky four wheels jostling with our ever reliable
and sturdy steed the two wheeler.

Some common AUTOMOBILE product categories include food and dairy products,
glassware, paper products, pharmaceuticals, customer electronics, packaged food products,
plastic goods, printing and stationery, household products, photography, drinks etc. and
some of the examples of AUTOMOBILE products are coffee, tea, dry cells, greeting cards,
gifts, detergents, tobacco and cigarettes, watches, soaps etc.
Some of the merits of AUTOMOBILE industry, which made this industry as a potential
one are low operational cost, strong distribution networks, and presence of renowned
AUTOMOBILE companies. Population growth is another factor which is responsible behind
the success of this industry.
Some of the well known AUTOMOBILE companies are MARUTI SUZUKI, HYUNDAI,

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:
17
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
PRODUCT SATISFACTION:
Product satisfaction in the common sense means the knowledge and satisfaction of
the customers regarding a particular product, its utility and service.
A person learns about a new idea, product or practice. He has general information
about it e.g. through advertisement. He has, however, limited knowledge about special
qualities, usefulness, performance etc. regarding the innovation. He has mere knowledge of
its excellence.
In this customer durable market, where customers are considered the king, it is
absolutely essential that the marketers try and convey successfully, all aspects about the
product where utility and price seems to govern the market. It is very much relevant the
customer be informed about the products utility and its worth.
In a technology driven market which is highly dynamic the customer’s needs and
perception changes in quick successions. To keep with this change the customers need to
be upgraded regarding all product development and innovation at each stage. Advertising
does not necessarily mean promoting a product to increase the sales. It should also cover
the other dimension of its goal, education the customers and give them the right to
choose. With technology changing life styles within short periods it is a great challenge for
the marketers to follow up product satisfaction campaigns.
Customer electronics being high end durable goods are usually one time
purchases in the Indian market. With all the major players with competitive pricing and
product range, Philips should look at positioning its product in the right market in creating
proper brand and product satisfaction.
Satisfaction:-
After perceiving a need or desire or lacking of something the customer will now look
around seeking information, about products or services, to satisfy his need while examining
his environment. He will become aware of the existence of the product or service to satisfy
his need.
18
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
The marketer must do research to find out how the customer became aware of the
existence of the product or service to meet his need and desires. By gathering information,
the marketer will be able to identify the stimulus that attracts interest in the product
category.
1. Comprehension Stage
While passing through the earlier mentioned stages the customer becomes aware of
the availability or existence of the product or service to satisfy and meet his need. At the
same time he gathers information and knowledge about the product or service, in terms of
its utility to him. That is, he has gained more knowledge about the particular product-its
functions, feature or attributes, how it will perform and what satisfaction will it give him.
The customer is comprehending and reasoning out and verifying information he has
obtained in context of the functional and utility aspect of the product or service to him.
Though the various information gathered the customer will increase his knowledge
about the availability of the various brands of products to meet his need, examine the
functional aspect it has and then decide whether the product will give him satisfaction.
The marketer must design the marketing mix so that the customer will easily be able
to gather information about the products utility aspect and its functions. Due to this the
19
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
particular brand gets automatically registered in the buyers mind and helps him to process
the information received.
Attitude:
HIMMELFARB and Eagle have opined that “the term attitude often is used in a
generic sense to any reports of what people think or feel or the ways in which they intend to
act”. From this point of view, attitude can be said to have an evaluative aspect with an
underlying dimension of favourability-unfavourability. Thus in this stage, we can say that it is
a total sum of the persons feelings, faith and attitude towards the product. Based on the
result of his ‘satisfaction stage and comprehension stage’, the customer develops an
attitude- a favorable or unfavorable- towards the product.
The continuation of the purchase process will depend on the information gathered
by the buyer. If the information gathered by him helps him in developing a favorable
attitude or a positive liking for the product, he will continue with his purchase decision,
otherwise not.
The marketer must use good communication mix to communicate about their
product or services to the target market. The information, thus sought by the customer can
be obtained easily and also enable them to develop either a favorable or unfavorable
attitude towards the product or service.
2. Legitimization Stage
This is the stage when the buyer has to take a legitimate course of action. This is the
stage when the individual after having developed a positive attitude once again decides on
the action to be taken by him. Very often, even after having developed faith and positive
feelings towards the product, the buyer is contemplating on his decision to purchase the
product before going for the actual purchase.
20
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
He is only reaffirming and seeking information regarding the product which will
convince him regarding the correctness of the purchase decision. Only if he is fully
convinced about the appropriateness of the purchase decision will he proceed further. At
this stage, the buyer may also seek further information, regarding the product or service or
try to assess the information already available to him. The individual may seek more
information in terms of matching the product attributes with their utility function to him,
and arrive at a conclusion which will support the positive attitude developed by him towards
the product.
The marketer must give information about the product through various promotional
media which will help the buyer to take a legitimate decision to purchase the product.
3. Trial Stage
The earlier stages of attitude and legitimatization will help the customer to develop
a strong conviction to try the product on a small scale basis. The more information he seeks
in the above stage of legitimatization will able the customer to reaffirm his decision to
purchase the product. However before going for purchase on a full-fledged basis, he will
want to verify the information received, on his own, by trying out the product. In this stage,
he will try to evaluate the product with his own experience.
The marketer could help the customer to evaluate the efficiency of the product with
their own experience by making available ‘small packs’ of the product in the market. This
will also communicate to the customers that the company or firm is keen that the
prospective customer tries the product.
4. Adoption Stage
When the customer experiences a positive feeling after using the product on a trial
basis, he may take the decision to adopt the product. At this stage there may be other
factors which may influence his intention to purchase the product.
21
SRI HARI DEGREE COLLEGE, KADAPA,
A Study on Customer Satisfaction
After having purchased the product, it may be possible, that the buyer may
experience some restlessness in his mind. This may be because he hears of other brands in
the same product category. Then he may feel that the ‘other brand’ would have been
better. He may even feel he was taken for a ride by the salesman. He is unsure as to
whether he made the right choice in his purchase of the product.
At this stage of post purchase dissonance, the individual himself will seek out ways
to reaffirm his conviction. He will look out for ways to get back his conviction. He will look
out for reassuring advertisements of the product or he may deliberately close his ears to the
praise given to competing brands. So by adopting such methods, the customer will try to
overcome the dissonance in his mind.
However it may be noted that though the above buying process signifies a typical
buying process, actual buying or adoption of a product will depend on personality of the
buyer.
An understanding of the buying decision process will enable the marketer to develop
an effective marketing program to support an attractive offer to the target market.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:
The objective of every company would be ensuring customer satisfaction for the customer
satisfaction would create loyal customers. Measuring customer satisfaction is always a challenge, as
customer either would not disclose or sometimes do not assess their satisfaction level clearly. Many
times the customer can not specify the reasons for his satisfaction.
Customers are the key figure in the business world manufacturer and distribution. The
customer came into existence when communications were difficult with the customers and it is
found necessary to have a point of distribution. It helps to find out the position of the company in
the competitive market and the opinion of the customers towards the HAROON BAJAJ
Customer Satisfaction plays the present competitive Markets. In the present situation, the
customer satisfaction will influence customer preferences. I think that there is need to study
regarding the customer satisfaction towards HAROON BAJAJ because these are the main aspects
which should be considered by the company to build its brand name in the market and concentrate
on the aspects which can make the customers to be aware of their brands, to know the factors
influencing their Preferences.
