 MARKETING MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION:-
Production and marketing of goods and services are the essence of economic life in any
society. All organizations perform these two basic functions to satisfy their commitments to
their stakeholders – the owners, the customers and the society, at large. They create a benefit
that economists call utility which is the want-satisfying power of a good or service. There are
four basic kinds of utility – form, time, place and ownership utility. Form utility is created
when the firm converts raw materials and component inputs into finished goods and services.
Although marketing provides important inputs that specify consumer preference, the
organization’s production function is responsible for the actual creation of form utility.
Marketing function creates time, place and ownership utilities. Time and place utility occur
when consumers find goods and services available when and where they want to purchase
them. Online retailers with 24*7 format emphasize time utility. Vending machines focus on
providing place utility for people buying snacks and soft drinks. The transfer of title to goods
or services at the time of purchase creates ownership utility.

Define marketing?
The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the
customer. It includes the coordination of four elements
4 P's of marketing:
(1) identification, selection and development of a product,
(2) determination of its price,
(3) selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and
(4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy.

Definition: - Kotler had defined the marketing as “the social process by which individuals
and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and
value with others”.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) has given the definition for marketing as
“marketing is the management process that identifies, anticipates and satisfies customer
requirements profitably.”
 OBJECTIVES OF MARKETING MANAGEMENT:-
 Marketing focuses on the satisfaction of customer needs, wants and requirements.
 The philosophy of marketing needs to be owned by everyone from within the
organization.
 Future needs have to be identified and anticipated.
 There is normally a focus upon profitability, especially in the corporate sector.
However, as public sector organizations and not-for-profit organizations adopt the concept of
marketing, this need not always be the case.
 In this context, I selected the title “A DELIBERATION ON HOW DISCOUT
RATES EFFECT EMPTOR’S BUYING COMPORTMENT” as my DELIBERATION in
order to get the practical knowledge regarding marketing concept. In addition to understand
the ground reality of any business irrespective of the field the practical knowledge of
marketing is essential. The study is all about hoe customer buying behavior affected by the
discount rates.
Today customer is the foundation of the business. Without customer, the businesses cannot survive in
the market. If a business man fails to satisfy the customer, simply he is thrown away by the customer
from the market.

Scope of the marketing management

1. Setting Marketing Goals:

The prime task of marketing manager is to set marketing goals and objectives. Clearly and

precisely defined objective can help marketing manager to direct marketing efforts

effectively. The goals and objective (whether strategic and operating, or short-term and long-

term) must be suitably communicated with the employees concern. As far as possible,

objectives should be expressed in the quantifiable terms.

2. Selecting Target Market:

Segmenting the total market and selecting the target market is a fundamental task of

marketing management. Modern marketing practice is based on the target market, and not on

the total market. Marketing manager cannot satisfy the needs and wants of entire market. He

must concentrate his efforts only on well-defined specific groups of customers, known as the

target market. All the marketing functions are directed to cater needs and wants of the target

market only. Based on company’s overall capacity, the target market should be selected.
3. Formulating Suitable Marketing Organisation:

To implement marketing plan, a suitable organisation structure is essential. On the basis of

analysis of type of products, type of market, geographical concentration of market, and many

other relevant factors, appropriate organisation must be designed. Various alternative

structures are available, such as product organisation, geographic organisation, functional

organisation, matrix organisation, etc. Based upon requirements, the appropriate structure

should be prepared and modified as per needs.

4. Maintaining Healthy Relations with other Departments:

Marketing department needs cooperation from other departments of organisation, including

financial department, personnel department, and production department, to satisfy customers

effectively. Their support is considered to be important to satisfy consumers. Thus, for

integrated efforts, marketing manager should try to establish good relations with them.

Likewise, within marketing department, he must establish coordination among various

personnel.
5. Establishing and Maintaining Profitable Relations with Outside Parties:

Alike internal support, the external relations are also extremely necessary. Marketer, in order

to carry out marketing activities effectively, must establish and maintain healthy relations

with various parties, such as suppliers, service providers, government agencies, dealers,
consultants, and so forth. Without their support, marketing manager cannot carry out

functions successfully. Due to important role of external relations, contemporary marketing

practices can be said as relationship marketing.

6. Marketing Research Activities:

Marketing research is one of the important functions of modern marketing. Marketing

research involves systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data on any problem

related to marketing. It provides the manager with valuable information on which marketing

decisions can be taken. Marketing research is essential to know adequately about consumers

and market situation. It is a basic function to satisfy consumers. Marketing efforts are based

on the marketing research information.

7. Sales Management:

Sales management is one of the important functions of marketing management. Sales

management concerns with planning, implementation, and controlling selling efforts. It

performs all the activities directly related to execution of sales.

Sales department carry out selling functions. Sales department formulates sales policies,

ensures adequate quantity of products, maintains sales records, formulates structures for sales
department, manages sales force (salesmen), and controls selling efforts.
Definition of Mobile phone:-
The cellular telephone (commonly “mobile phone” or “cell phone” or “hand phone’) is a long
range portable electronic device used for mobile communication. In addition to the standard
voice function of a telephone, current m o b i l e p h o n e s c a n s u p p o r t m a n y
a d d i t i o n a l services such a s sessor text  messaging, email, switching for a c c e s s t o
t h e Internet, & MMS for  sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile
phones connect to a Cellular network of  base stations, which is in turn interconnected to the
p u b l i c s w i t c h e d t e l e p h o n e n e t w o r k s   phones. Cellular telephone is also
defined as a type of short-wave analogue digital  telecommunication in which a subscriber
has a wireless connection from a mobile telephone to a relatively nearby transmitter. The
transmitter's span of coverage is called a cell. Generally, cellular telephone service is
available in urban areas and along major highways. As the cellular telephone user moves
from one cell or area of coverage to another telephone is effectively passed on to the local
cell transmitter. A cellular telephone is not be confused with a codeless telephones.
 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

The subject matter for this research Project is to study the consumer
behaviour towards the NOKIA & SAMSUNG mobiles. This project consists of
different objectives. They are as follows:-

 To know about the consumer preference level associated with NOKIA & SAMSUNG mobiles.
 To find out the customer satisfaction towards NOKIA & SAMSUNG
 To know which advertisement media puts more impact on the buying decision of
customer.
 Determining the consumer behaviour towards NOKIA & SAMSUNG.
 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the research is based on the telecom industry and it throws light on the brand
preference of mobile phones with respect to Samsung and Nokia.

Significance of the study:

My research will help the telecom industry to know the current scenario of customers
with respect to brand preference of mobile phones, with respect to Samsung and Nokia.

Significance for the researcher:

 Wide exposure to the telecom industry.
 Studying about the brand preference of Samsung and Nokia mobile phones through
the respondents.
 NEED FOR THE STUDY

 This study mainly focuses on the awareness among the society about mobile phones.

 There is also need to analysis on the basis of age group of users, maximum number of
products purchased.

 To know the number of users of Samsung and nokia

 To know the purchase method of payment, which is more i.e., like credit card, debit card, net
banking, online payment, wallet, cash on delivery etc..,
 METHODOLOGY
Research is the systematic and objective search for the analysis of the information relevant to
the identification and solution of any problem in the field of channel development. The
objective behind this project was to get a deep insight into the answers to the questions
“what are the general problem faced by the subscribers and what they expect from
mobile handsets providers and study of current mobile market”. The object of the survey was
the mobile users of various mobile companies.
The essence of research conducted by us is to analyse the present market position of
Nokia & Samsung mobiles among its competitors and the problem which are being faced by
customer, wholesaler, and retailers. The eventual objectives are to suggest some
recommendation to the company so as to enable them to increase their market share.
Only in analysing my sample follows no conventional method. The total analyse is
based on the internees the question put on before our sample size. A research of this can’t be
done all once through large area in limited time so NABHA has been selected for research.
 LIMITATIONS

Every study, no matter how well it is conducted, has some limitations. 

This is why it does not seem reasonable to use the words "Prove" and "Disprove" with
respect to research findings.  It is always possible that future research may cast doubt on the
validity of any hypothesis or the conclusions from a study. 

The research was subjected to following limitations:-

 The survey can’t be termed 100% accurate due to lack of time.
 The lack of candidates of respondent towards answering the Questionnaire in few cases may
have reduced the accuracy of survey to some extent.
 There is more measure to check out whether the information provided by the consumer is
correct or not.

 NOKIA’S INDUSTRY PROFILE
Nokia Corporation (Finnish: Nokia Oyj, Finnish pronunciation: [ˈnokiɑ], UK, stylised
as NOKIA, is a Finnish multinational communications and information technology company,
founded in 1865. Nokia is headquartered in Espoo, Uusimaa, in the
greater Helsinki metropolitan area. In 2014, Nokia employed 61,656 people across 120
countries, did business in more than 150 countries and reported annual revenues of around
€12.73 billion. Nokia is a public limited company listed on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange and New York Stock Exchange. It is the world's 274th-largest company measured
by 2013 revenues according to the Fortune Global 500 and is a component of the Euro Stoxx
50 stock market index.
The company has had various industries in its 151-year history. It was founded as a pulp mill,
and now focuses on large-scale telecommunications infrastructures, and technology
development and licensing. Nokia is also a major contributor to the mobile
telephony industry, having assisted in development of the GSM and LTE standards, and was,
for a period, the largest vendor of mobile phones in the world. Nokia's dominance also
extended into the smartphone industry through its Symbian platform, but was eventually
overshadowed by competitors. Nokia eventually entered into a pact with Microsoft in 2011 to
exclusively use Microsoft's Windows Phone platform on future smartphones. Its mobile
phone business was eventually bought by Microsoft in an overall deal totalling $7.17
billion. Stephen Elop, Nokia's former CEO, and several other executives joined the
new Microsoft Mobile subsidiary of Microsoft as part of the deal, which was completed on
25 April 2014.
After the sale of its mobile phone business, Nokia began to focus more extensively on its
telecommunications infrastructure business, marked by the divestiture of its Here
Maps division, its foray in virtual reality, and the acquisitions of French telecommunications
company Alcatel-Lucent and digital health maker Withings in 2016, whilst the Nokia name
will return to the mobile phone market through HMD Global.

First mobile phone:-

The Mobira City man 150, Nokia's NMT-900 mobile phone from 1989 (left), compared to
the Nokia 1100 from 2003. The Mobira City man line was launched in 1987.
The technologies that preceded modern cellular mobile telephony systems were the various
"0G" pre-cellular mobile radio telephony standards. Nokia had been producing commercial
and some military mobile radio communications technology since the 1960s, although this
part of the company was sold some time before the later company rationalization. Since 1964,
Nokia had developed VHF radio simultaneously with Salora Oy. In 1966, Nokia and Salora
started developing the ARP standard (which stands for Autoradiopuhelin or car radio phone
in English), a car-based mobile radio telephony system and the first commercially operated
public mobile phone network in Finland. It went online in 1971 and offered 100% coverage
in 1978.
In 1979, the merger of Nokia and Salora resulted in the establishment of Mobira Oy. Mobira
began developing mobile phones for the NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) network standard,
the first-generation, first fully automatic cellular phone system that went online in 1981.[37] In
1982, Mobira introduced its first car phone, the Mobira Senator for NMT-450 networks.[37]
Nokia bought Salora Oy in 1984 and now owning 100% of the company, changed the
company's telecommunications branch name to Nokia-Mobira Oy. The Mobira Talk man,
launched in 1984, was one of the world's first transportable phones. In 1987, Nokia
introduced one of the world's first handheld phones, the Mobira City man 900 for NMT-900
networks (which, compared to NMT-450, offered a better signal, yet a shorter roam). While
the Mobira Senator of 1982 had weighed 9.8 kg (22 lb) and the Talk man just less than 5 kg
(11 lb), the Mobira City man weighed only 800 g (28 oz.) with the battery and had a price tag
of 24,000 Finnish marks (approximately €4,560). Despite the high price, the first phones
were almost snatched from the sales assistants' hands. Initially, the mobile phone was a
"yuppie" product and a status symbol.
Nokia's mobile phones got a big publicity boost in 1987, when Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev was pictured using a Mobira City man to make a call from Helsinki to his
communications minister in Moscow. This led to the phone's nickname of the "Gorba".
In 1988, Jorma Nieminen, resigning from the post of CEO of the mobile phone unit, along
with two other employees from the unit, started a notable mobile phone company of their
own, Benefon Oy (since renamed to Geosentric). One year later, Nokia-Mobira Oy became
Nokia Mobile Phones.

SAMSUNG’S INDUSTRY PROFILE

Samsung Group is a South Korean multinational conglomerate headquartered in Samsung
Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous affiliated businesses; most of them united under
the Samsung brand, and is the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate).
Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading company. Over the next three
decades, the group diversified into areas including food processing, textiles, insurance,
securities and retail. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the
construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would drive its
subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was separated into four business
groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group. Since 1990,
Samsung has increasingly globalised its activities and electronics; in particular, its mobile
phones and semiconductors have become its most important source of income.
Notable Samsung industrial affiliates include Samsung Electronics (the world's 2nd largest
information technology company measured by 2015 revenues, and 5th in market
value), Samsung Heavy Industries (the world's 2nd largest shipbuilder measured by 2010
revenues), and Samsung Engineering and Samsung C&T (respectively the world's 13th and
36th largest construction companies). Other notable subsidiaries include Samsung Life
Insurance (the world's 14th largest life insurance company), Samsung Everland (operator of
Everland Resort, the oldest theme park in South Korea) and Cheil Worldwide (the world's
15th largest advertising agency measured by 2012 revenues).
Samsung has a powerful influence on South Korea's economic development, politics, media
and culture and has been a major driving force behind the "Miracle on the Han River". Its
affiliate companies produce around a fifth of South Korea's total exports. Samsung's revenue
was equal to 17% of South Korea's $1,082 billion GDP.
On 17 February 2017, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was arrested for bribery, embezzlement,
hiding assets overseas and perjury.

HISTORY
Unlike other electronic companies Samsung origins were not involving electronics but other
products.
In 1938 the Samsung's founder Byung-Chull Lee set up a trade export company in Korea,
selling fish, vegetables, and fruit to China. Within a decade Samsung had flour mills and
confectionary machines and became a co-operation in 1951humble beginnings.
From 1958 onwards Samsung began to expand into other industries such as financial, media,
chemicals and ship building throughout the 1970's. In 1969, Samsung Electronics was
established producing what Samsung is most famous for, Televisions, Mobile Phones
(throughout 90's), Radio's, Computer components and other electronics devices.
1987 founder and chairman, Byung-Chull Lee passed away and Kun-Hee Lee took over as
chairman. In the 1990's Samsung began to expand globally building factories in the US,
Britain, Germany, Thailand, Mexico, Spain and China until 1997.
In 1997 nearly all Korean businesses shrunk in size and Samsung was no exception. They
sold businesses to relieve debt and cut employees down lowering personnel by 50,000. But
thanks to the electronic industry they managed to curb this and continue to grow.
The history of Samsung and mobile phones stretches back to over 10 years. In 1993 Samsung
developed the 'lightest' mobile phone of its era. The SCH-800 and it was available on CDMA
networks.
Samsung has made steady growth in the mobile industry and are currently second but
competitor Nokia is ahead with more than 100% increase in shares.

SAMSUNG TELE-COMMUNICATIONS
Samsung Telecommunications is one of five business units within Samsung Electronics,
belonging to the Samsung Group, and consists of the Mobile Communications Division,
Telecommunication Systems Division, Computer Division, MP3 Business Team, Mobile
Solution Centre and Telecommunication R&D Centre. Telecommunication Business
produces a full spectrum of products from mobiles and other mobile devices such as MP3
players and laptop computers to telecommunication network infrastructure. Headquarters is
located in Suwon, South Korea.
In 2007 Samsung Telecommunication Business reported over 40% growth and became the
second largest mobile device manufacturer in the world. Its market share was 14% in Q4
2007, growing up from 11.3% in Q4 2006. At the end of November 2011, Samsung sold
more than 300 million mobile devices and set still in second after Nokia with 300.6 million
mobile devices sold in the first three quarter of 2011.
On 19 August 2016, Samsung officially released its Samsung Galaxy Note 7. As of 2
September 2016, Samsung announced a voluntary recall and attached to the new exchange
program, after numerous of report showed that the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 burst and
explode. On 10 October 2016, in response to the new incidents, Samsung announced that it
would once again suspend sales of the Galaxy Note 7 and recall all devices worldwide. The
next day, Samsung also announced that it would permanently discontinue the Galaxy Note 7
and cease its production.

SAMSUNG VISION
Samsung India's Vision entails helping people improve the quality of their lives by
providing them with superior quality, state-of-the- art technology products at the right
time and the right price. But b e y o n d i t s r o l e a s a p u r v e y o r o f q u a l i t y p r o d u c t s
i n I n d i a , Samsung seeks to contribute to the economic growth of the country though its
export commitments and large scale production facilities generating secured employment for
hundreds of Indian people. At Samsung, we strive to contribute to the development of the
electronics a n d c o m p o n e n t s i n d u s t r y i n I n d i a b y e n h a n c i n g t h e k n o w l e d g e
l e v e l s o f o u r w o r k f o r c e through the introduction of our advanced management
systems and production know-how i n o u r m a n u f a c t u r i n g facilities by introducing our

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK

The second step of marketing research process calls for developing the most efficient plan for
gathering the need information. While designing a research plan we have to take decisions
regarding data sources, search approached, search instruments, sampling etc. there are two
plan contact which are as follows:-
1. DATA SOURCE
There are two type of data source:
 Primary data
 Secondary data

Primary data:
Personal interviews are conducted which enable collection of oral verbal response. This is
fact to face contracted with structured or sometime even unstructured patterns. This helps in
obtaining indent information.

Secondary data:
Secondary data can be obtained from different magazines and annual reports, financial
documents referred.

2. RESEARCH APPROACH
SURVEY METHOD:-
Survey are best suited for descriptive research companies which undertake surveys to learn
about people’s knowledge, preferences, satisfaction etc. to measure these magnitude in
general population. While observation and tours are best suited for exploratory research
which is not the case of our study.

3. INSTRUMENT
Questionnaire: A Questionnaire is prepared and uses to collect the information. The
majority of questions are close ended. Questionnaire is distributed to people to know about
their preferences, quality, demand etc. this is one of the easiest method of collecting
information.
4. SAMPLING PLAN
 After deciding on the research approach and instrument, we must design a sampling plan.
This plan calls for three decisions.
a) Sampling unit: - Here we define what is to be surveyed i.e. the target population that will be
sampled. In our case the journal public in cities & towns come under the sampling unit.
b) Sample size: - Large sample give more reliable results. In our study 100 customers were
surveyed in NABHA.
c) Sampling Procedure: - area sampling is using because it is not practically possible to visit
all places of India therefore NABHA chosen for survey.
5. CONTACT METHOD
In this decision is taken that how the object should be contacted i.e. whether by mail
questionnaires, telephone, interviews. In our research personal interview is the most
convenient and reliable method.
6. COLLECTION OF THE INFORMATION
The data collection phase of the marketing research is most expensive and most error prone
process. There can be error some respondent can give biased or dishonest answer from
collection of information. The researcher personally goes to customer to collect the reliable
data. Here all knowledge of the researcher about that field comes to test the ingenuity of the
research.
Here we got the experience of working professionally and independently on the road which
gives some taste of practical marketing. We also got a lot exposure about the market. The
present study undertake is descriptive in nature and in this study questioning people with
regular expertise in that are being used.
