ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION 8 - 15
One thing that we have in common is that we all are consumers. In fact
everybody in this world is a consumer. Every day of our life we are buying and
consuming an incredible variety of goods and services. However, we all have
different tastes, likes, dislikes, and adopt different behavior patterns while
making purchase decisions.
DEFINITIONS:
The term consumer behavior refers to the behavior that consumer display
in searching for purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products and
services that they expect will satisfy these needs. The study of consumer
behavior in the study of how individuals make decisions to spend their available
resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. It includes the
study of “what they buy”, “why they buy”, “when they buy”, “where they buy”,
“how often they buy” and “how they use”.

CULTURAL FACTORS:
References Groups: A persons reference groups consist of all the groups that

behavior. This group to which the person, belongs and interacts.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS:
Motivation: A person has many needs at any given time. Some needs are
biogenic. They arise from psychological states of tension such as hunger, tryst
and discomfort.
Consumer behavior plays a major role for the growth of the company in
the modern market scenario. The basic idea of this study is to find the consumer
behavior towards Big Bazaar. The needs have to be recognized and necessary
steps have to be taken to make the changes.
India is growing rapidly and changes are dynamic. People are changing,
the preference and the demand is changing. The market also has to change
accordingly.
The purpose of consumer behavior is not only for retaining the customers
but also attracting new customers and increasing the sales also creating and
maintenance of brand awareness.
To identify what type of strategies are suitable for the company to reach
the targeted customers.
To find out the factors which influence the consumption of the products
in Big Bazaar.
To find out how the consumers spent their incomes, time on the
purchasing of the products.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Big Bazaar has 250 above branches in New Delhi. My scope is limitation
to one Branch (LAXMI NAGAR V3S MAL). The scope of the study is to
identify the consumer behavior towards Big Bazaar. It is aimed at enlightening
the company about different steps to be taken up to increase the share of Big
Bazaar with regard other competitors and also to make the company to provide
better customer services.
The scope of the study is only confined to the area covered under V 3S
MALL, and only confined in studying about the consumer behavior towards Big
Bazaar.
LIMITATIONS:
Time has been a major constraint throughout the study as it has been only
for duration of 2 months.
As this survey was restricted to big bazaar V3S mall this cannot be stated
as an in depth research on this subject.
1. Need recognition
5. Purchase
2. Information search
evaluation
Problem recognition – you realize that something is not as it should be. Perhaps,
for example, your car is getting more difficult to start and is not accelerating
well. Information search- what are some alternative ways of solving the
problem? You might buy a new car, buy a used car, take your car in for repair,
ride the bus, ride a taxi, or ride a skateboard to work.
Purchase stage, and sometimes a post-purchase stage (e.g., you return a product
to the store because you did not find it satisfactory), in reality, people may go
back and forth between the stages. For example, a person may resume
alternative identification during while evaluating already known alternatives.
The decision maker(s) have the power to determine issues such as:
What to buy?
When to buy?
Note, however, that the role of the decision maker is separate from that of
the purchaser. From the point of view of the marketer, this introduces some
problems since the purchaser. Can be targeted by point-of-purchase (POP)
marketing an effort that cannot be aimed at the decision maker. Also note that
the distinction between the, purchaser and decision maker be somewhat blurred
the decision maker may have to make a substitution if the desired brand is not in
stock, the purchaser may disregard institutions (by error or deliberately).
BUYER BEHAVIOUR –
SOCIAL FACTORS:
Introduction: A customer’s buying behavior is also influenced by social factor,
such as the group to which the customer belongs and social status. In a group,
several individuals may interact to influence the purchase decision.
Initiator: The people who first suggest or think the idea of buying a particular
product or service.
Decider: The individual with the power and/or financial authority to make the
ultimate choice regarding which product to buy.
User: The person (persons) who actually uses the product or service.
