INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY
The automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world which has
increased at the rate of 8.68 per cent over the past year i.e. with an annual
production of 23.37 million vehicles in FY 2014-15.In country’s gross domestic
product(GDP), this industry contributes about 7.1 per cent. Because of growing
middle class society and a young population, the Two Wheelers segment, becomes
the leader of the Indian Automobile market. Moreover, the growing interest of
companies in exploring the rural markets further aided the growth of the sector.
India is a significant auto exporter and in future it will become vast in the world by
its increasing auto export growth.By last year till now auto export rate has been
increased upto 15 per cent. Moreover government has been taking many initiatives
for the betterment of auto export rates.Soon India will emerged as a leader.
HISTORY
First car in india was purchased in 1897 in Calcutta.Then in the following year
Jamshedji Tata and parsis in Bombay purchased one car and three cars
respectively.That same year, the first pneumatic tyres arrived in Bombay, with
Dunlop opening an office in the city.
Madras, it would appear, lagged behind, though it is related that a car was seen on
Mount Road on a brief outing in 1894. If that unconfirmed appearance is ignored,
the first recorded date of a car being in regular use in Madras is 1901. The car was
owned by A J Yorke, a director of Parry & Co. He drove it daily from Ben’s
Gardens, Adyar, to Parry’s in ‘Black Town’. The South’s first registered car, MC-1,
belonged to Francis Spring, at that time Secretary of the Madras Railway Board
and, in 1904, to become the Chairman of the Madras Port Trust and ‘father’ of the
Madras Harbour.
The first Indian-owned car in Madras, MC-3, was building contractor T
Namberumal Chetty’s.
India’s first steam car was built by Samuel John Green of Simpson & Co in 1903.
The Madras Mail hailed its appearance as the beginning of “a new industry for
Madras.” Two years later, Simpson’s built the first steam bus which ran between
Bezwada (Vijayawada) and Masulipatam (Machilipatnam) .It was possibly the
first motor bus service in the country.
When TVS commenced operations in 1912, motor transport received a fillip in
South India. The firm was founded by T V Sundram Iyengar to operate a bus
service. T V Sundram Iyengar and Sons Ltd (now Sundaram Motors) became a
vehicle dealer in 1922 after the lifting of Government restrictions on imported
vehicles of all types had been put in place during the Great War (1914-18). By
1920, the number of imported vehicles of all types had grown to nearly 13,500 and
two international automobile manufacturers, Ford and General Motors, sensing the
potential, set up local companies that year to sell
anservicetheirmotorcarsandtrucks.
In 1928, General Motors India Ltd commenced assembling trucks and cars in its
factory in Bombay.On December 4th the first car assembled in India. After Two
years, Ford Motor Co of India Ltd commenced assembly of automobiles in
Madras, and the next year in Bombay and Calcutta. And in 1936, Addison & Co
Ltd commenced assembly of cars and trucks in Madras.
Hindustan Motors Ltd, Calcutta, and Premier Automobiles Ltd, Bombay, were
established in 1942 and 1944 respectively to progressively manufacture complete
automobiles. Hindustan Motors, a Birla group company, began manufacturing
operations in 1948 by assembling Morris Oxford cars and Bedford trucks,
gradually indigenising the components. In 1957, the Morris Oxford, substantially
indigenised, was re-introduced as the Hindustan Ambassador.
Common materials used to make car
The car industries don’t make up cars with only engines,HVAC systems,and so
on.The car industries use various materials to build cars which are as follows:-
iron
aluminum
plastic steel
glass
rubber
petroleum products
copper
These parts are used to create everything from those small things we don't think
about, such as dashboard needles and wiring, to the big stuff, such as the engine
block or the transmission gears.
EXPORT
India's automobile exports have grown consistently and reached $4.5 billion in
2009, with the United Kingdom being India's largest export market, followed by
Italy, Germany, Netherlands, and South Africa.
India's have strong engineering base which result low - cost, fuel-efficient cars has
resulted in the expansion of manufacturing facilities of several automobile
companies like Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Maruti Suzuki.
In 2008, Hyundai Motors alone exported 240,000 cars made in India in South
Korean . In 2011 Nissan Motors plans to export 250,000 vehicles manufactured in
its India. Similarly, US automobile company, General Motors announced its plans
to export about 50,000 cars manufactured in India in 2011.
In July 2010, PSA Peugeot Citroën was planning to re-enter the Indian market and
open a production plant in Andhra Pradesh that would have an annual capacity of
100,000 vehicles, investing € 700M in the operation. PSA's intention to utilise this
production facility for export purposes .
In recent years, India has emerged as a leading center for the manufacture of small
cars. Hyundai, the biggest exporter from the country, now ships more than 250,000
cars annually from India. Apart from Maruti Exports' shipments to Suzuki's other
markets, Maruti Suzuki also manufactures small cars for Nissan, which sells them
in Europe. Nissan will also export small cars from its new Indian assembly line.
Tata Motors exports its passenger vehicles to Asian and African markets, and is
preparing to sell electric cars in Europe in 2010. The firm is planning to sell an
electric version of its low-cost car the Tata Nano in Europe and in the U.S.
Mahindra & Mahindra is preparing to introduce its pickup trucks and small SUV
models in the U.S. market. Bajaj Auto is designing a low-cost car for Renault
Nissan Automotive India, which will market the product worldwide. Renault
Nissan may also join domestic commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland in
another small car project. While the possibilities for the Indian automobile industry
are impressive, there are challenges that could thwart future growth. Since the
demand for automobiles in recent years is directly linked to overall economic
expansion and rising personal incomes, industry growth will slow if the economy
weakens

1. The auto industry currently contributes 18% to the country's total excise
revenue.
Strengths
Weaknesses
1. Cars recalled : the company recalled the vehicles with having some
technical dis-functionality or non-abidance to govt. led rules is becoming
very common.
2. Bargaining of consumers : Over the last 3-4 decades the automobile
market has shifted from demand to supply market. Availability of large
number of vehicals , and competition between them, and there are so many
of alternatives which car I brought,so there are so many power of consumer
to bargaining
3. Growth rate of Automobile industry :is the in the hands of the government
due to regulations like excise duty, no entry of outside vehicles in the state,
decreasing number of validity of registration period & volatility in the fuel
prices. These factors always affect the growth of the industry.

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
Consumer Behavior (or Buyer Behavior) is broadly defined by various scholars &
researchers as:
A consumer behaviour while buying any particular product depends upon various
factors. The beginning point of the decision process is provided by the company’s
marketing stimuli in the shape of product, promotion, and price and distribution
strategy. Mostly consumer purchase any product by viewing a specific brand name.
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. Consumer behaviour accounts the
decisions of the customer resources which they have to spend to buy a patricular
product. 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:
SOCIAL FACTORS:
References Groups: A persons reference groups consist of all the groups that have
a direct (face to face) are indirect influence on the person’s altitude or behavior.
This group to which the person, belongs and interacts.
Personal Factors: A consumer decision also influenced by his/her personal traits
and their way of living.Their way of thinking,way of doing things,salary influences
a customer in purchasing any product.
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, try stand
discomfort.
Perception: Perception is defined as the process by which an individual selects,
organizes, intercepts, information, inputs to create a meaningful picture of the
world.
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
HYUNDAI.
To find out how the consumers spent their incomes, time on the purchasing
of the products.
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
INFORMATION SEARCH
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE
Similarly the increased desire for leisure time has resulted in increased demand for
convenience product and service such as microwave ovens, ready meals and direct
marketing service businesses such as telephone banking and insurance.
Each culture contains sub-cultures´ groups of people with shared values. Sub-
cultures can include nationalities, religions, racial groups, or group of people
sharing the same geographical location. Sometimes a sub-culture will create a
substantial and distinctive market segment of its own.
Initiator: the people who first suggest or think the idea of buying a
particular product or service.
Influence: a person whose view or advice influences the buying decision.
Decide: 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.
INDIVIDUAL FACTORS THAT SHAPE BUYER BEHAVIOUR PROCESS
HIGH INVOLVEMENT Extensive problem-solving (EPS)
LOW INVOLVEMENT Limited problem solving (LPS)
Reutilized response behavior (RRB)
CULTURAL FACTORS
Cultural factors exert a broad and deep influence on consumer behavior. The
marketer needs to understand the role played by the buyer’s culture, subculture,
and social class.
Culture
The set of basic values, perceptions, wants, and behaviors learned by a member of
society from family and other important institutions,
Subculture
A group of people with shared value systems based on common life experiences
and situations.
Social classes
Relatively permanent and ordered divisions in society whose members share
similar values, interests, and behaviors.
SOCIAL FACTORS
A consumer’s behavior also is influenced by social factors, such as the consumer’s
small groups, family, and social roles and status.
Groups
Two or more people who interact or accomplish individual or mutual goals.
Family
A family is a domestic group of people, or a number of domestic groups linked
through descent (demonstrated or stipulated) from blood relation, marriage or
adoption.
Roles and status
A person belongs to many groups- family, clubs, and organizations. The people’s
position in each group can be defined in terms of both role and status.
PERSONAL FACTORS
A buyer’s decisions also are influenced by personal characteristics such as the
buyer’s age and life cycle stage, Occupation, economic situation, lifestyle, and
personality and self-concept.
Age and life-cycle stage
People change the goods and services they buy over their lifetimes. Tastes and
preferences changes as lift-cycle goes.
Personality and self-concept
A persons’ distinguishing psychological characteristics that lead to relatively
consisting and lasting responses to his or her own environment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
A person’s buying choices are further influenced by four major psychological
factors: motivation, perception, learning, and attitudes.
Motivation
A need that is sufficiently pressing to direct the person to seek satisfaction of the
need.
Perception
The process by which people select, organize, and interpret information to form a
meaningful picture of the world.
Learning
Changes in an individual’s behavior arise from experience.
Beliefs and attitudes
A descriptive thought that a person holds about something is his/her belief. A
person’s consistently favorable or unfavorable evaluations, feeling, and tendencies
toward and object or idea is attitude. The common tools used to conduct data
analysis range from simple cross tabulations and segmentation analysis to more
sophisticated statistical methods such as multivariate and logistic regression
discriminates analysis and cluster analysis. In the last few years, optimization tools
and machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and genetic algorithms
have also been used to perform advanced data analysis. The study of consumers
helps firms and organizations improve their marketing strategies by understanding
issues such as
The psychology of how consumers think, feel, reason, and select between
different alternatives (e.g., brands, products);
The psychology of how the consumer is influenced by his or
her environment (e.g., culture, family, signs, media);
The behavior of consumers while shopping or making other marketing
decisions;
(Kotler, 2012):- Its main objective is to study the customer thinking while
choosing and buying any product and its after results also.Like customer review
about the product and what changes can be made to make it a better product.
(Acebron et al, 2000) The aim of this study is to know people’s reaction about their
previously used product in fruits. In their studies the authors used structural
equation model in order to identify the relationship between the habits and
previous experience on the consumer buying decision.Study revealed that how a
person perception and its experience of previous used product influence to buy a
ny thing. They also found that the image of the product has a crucial impact on the
purchasing decision of the consumer and further recommended that the product
image should continuously be improved in order to encourage the consumers
towards purchasing.
(Lee, 2005) carried out study to learn the five stages of consumer decision making
process in the example of China. The researcher focuses on the facts that affect the
consumer decision making process on purchasing imported health food products,
in particular demographic effects such as gender, education, income and marital
status. The author employed questionnaire method in order to reach the objectives
of the research. Analysis of five stages of consumer decision making process
indicate that impact of family members on the consumer decision making process
of purchasing imported health food products was significant.
The author further explains this by the fact Chinese tradition of taking care of
young and old family members have long been developed and marriage is
considered to be extremely important in Chinese tradition. This reflects in the
findings of the study that the purchase of imported health food products made by a
person for the people outside the family is declined significantly by both male and
female Chinese after they get married.
(Blackwell et al 2006): Five Stages Model of consumer decision making process
has also been studied by a number of other researchers. Although different
researchers offer various tendencies towards the definitions of five stages, all of
them have common views as they describe the stages in similar ways. According to
him, the five stages of consumer decision making process are
followings: problem/need recognition, information search, evaluation of
alternatives, purchase decision made and post-purchase evaluation.
(Neal and Questel, 2006): Each stage is then defined by a number of researchers
varying slightly but leading to a common view about what each stage involves
need recognition occurs when an individual recognizes the difference between
what they have and what they want/need to have. This view is also supported by
stating that need recognition occurs due to several factors and circumstances such
as personal, professional and lifestyle which in turn lead to formation of idea of
purchasing.
(Schiffman and Kanuk, 2007): In the next stage, consumer searches information
related to desired product or service. Information search process can be internal
and external. While internal search refers to the process where consumers rely on
their personal experiences and believes, external search involves wide search of
information which includes addressing the media and advertising or feedbacks
from other people.
(Keller, 2005): Once the relevant information about the product or service is
obtained the next stage involves analyzing the alternatives. Consider this stage as
one of the important stages as the consumer considers all the types and alternatives
taking into account the factors such as size, quality and also price.
(Backhaus et al, 2007): suggested that purchase decision is one of the important
stages as this stage refers to occurrence of transaction. In other words, once the
consumer recognized the need, searched for relevant information and considered
the alternatives he/she makes decision whether or not to make the decision.
Purchasing decision can further be divided into planned purchase, partially
purchase or impulse purchase.
(Perugini and Bagozzi, 2001): It is important to note that The Five Stage Model is
not the only model related to consumer decision-making, and there are also a range
of competing models that include Stimulus-Organism-Response Model of Decision
Making developed by Hebb in 1950’s, Prescriptive Cognitive Models, The Theory
of Trying, Model of Goal Directed Behavior and others.
Research methodology.
Meaning of Research
The process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making
business decisions. The methodology may include publication research, interviews,
surveys and other research techniques, and could include both present and
historical information.
3.1.1 Research process:-

Formulating the research problem
Research proposal
CHARACTERISTIC OF RESEARCH
Controlled- In real life there will be many factors which will effect the ratio
between two quantities.So to be controlled is one of the characteristic of
research.To not to effected by other factors happening around the surroundings.
Reliability- is a subjective term which cannot be measured precisely but today
there are instruments which can estimate the reliability of any research.
Reliability is the repeatability of any research, research instruments, tool or
procedure. If any research yields similar results each time it is undertaken with
similar population and with similar procedures, it is called to be a research.
Valid and verifiable- This explains that the research work that you have done
is truly correct and it can be verified by others.
Empirical- This means that any conclusion drawn are based upon hard
evidence gathered from information collected from real life experience or
observations.
The study is related to the consumer behavior of the Hyundai. To know about to
increase the sales of product by effective promotion, the changes required in
marketing area, and to know about the what types of tools is available for sales
promotion. The problem here is precisely defined as “Consumer Buying
Behavior”.
Justification of Study:
As we know, in organization the publicity and marketing is one of the main
aspects. It is very important for any organization to have a deep analysis of their
perspective customers and creating awareness regarding their products. The
importance of publicity and marketing also appreciates with the growing
competition in the economy. So I have selected 'CONSUMER BUYING
BEHAVIOR' used by hyundai as my topic.
Main objective
“Analyze the situation of the market to make the strategies of effective marketing”.
Research Design
A research design is a framework for the study and is used as a guide in collecting
and analyzing the data. It is a strategy specifying which approach will be used for
gathering and analyzing the data.
The data can be collected from primary and secondary sources. The basic premises
of my study are supplemented with the secondary data.
Primary Data: The Data, which are collected directly by the researchers and
according to his/her requirement. These types of data are collected through
interviews, observations, discussion etc.
Interviews
Personal Investigation
Observation Method
Information from correspondents
Information from superiors of the organization
Secondary Data: The secondary data is the data, which is not directly collected by
the researchers but is already prepared by the other people.
The sample size for survey was 100. In addition, Primary data has been collected
through Structured Questionnaires, Personal Interviews & Discussion with the
employees. Secondary data has been given by the Company executives in the form
of previous records and I have taken other data from the company website &
internet.
Sampling Area:-
The sample of 100 has been chosen randomly from area around kundli, the people
residing in an area around kundli are considered as the population for the study.
Sampling Size:-
The sample size of 100 is selected randomly. The study requires a depth
survey and keen observation in collecting data regarding the marketing strategies
of HYUNDAI.
Sampling Technique:-
Pie charts: Pie charts are a type of graph that represent data as slices of
circle; pie charts are a way to graphically data so that they can be analyzed
quickly and easily.
Bar graphs: A bar graph is a chart that uses either horizontal or vertical bars
to show comparisons among categories. One axis of the chart shows the
specific categories being compared and the other axis represents a concrete
value.
Even though every effort has been done to minimize the variations and present a
factual picture with the help of statistical method.
But no study is free from limitations, which are caused by constraints of time,
money, knowledge base and similar factors. An attempt was made to broad base
the study as far as possible, however it is but natural that this study also suffers
from some limitations, which are mentioned below:
Lack of experience: I was new on the topic which was assigned to me. So
lack of experience in getting information from respondents came in to the
way of collecting the relevant data.
Time Constraints: Time was a bit short to fathom into the depth of the
study. But still all efforts to the best possible extent have been made to
collect the data.
Busy Employees: Employees are not available as are busy in their work
INFERENCE: from the above table.8% of person belong to age grp of 18to25
years, 28% of person belong to age grp of 25to35,10% of person belong to age grp
