A STUDY ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT NISARGA MEGHA MART,
GAJENDRAGAD

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

This study deals with the evaluation of customer satisfaction and service quality in Nisrga megha mart.
The concept of customer satisfaction has drawn the interest of academics and practitioners for more
than four years in the light of the fact that customers are the primary source of most firms’ revenue
without the emergence of consensual definition of the concept. Conventional traditional wisdom holds
the attending to customer satisfaction makes good business sense for at least two reasons:

a) Satisfied customers are likely to continue to buy from and/or continue to do business with a
company, while dissatisfied customers are likely to take their business elsewhere.

b) Satisfied customers tell others about their positive experiences, while dissatisfied customers tell even
more people about their negative experiences.

In today’s world of globalization, the provision of infrastructures of which megha marts plays an
important role, is essential to enhance the nation’s competitiveness and maintain an edge over its
competitors.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:

Customer satisfaction and quality has become watchword for virtually all business, domestic and
foreign, because of increasing competition and more demanding customers. Customer satisfaction is
determined by defining customer perceptions of quality, expectations and preference (Barsky, 1992).
To attain true customer satisfaction companies need to achieve quality not only by eliminating the
causes for direct complains but need to provide their products or services with excellent, attractive
quality – provide the delight to the customer. So research on customer satisfaction is often closely
associated with the measurement of service quality (Cronin and Taylor, 1992; Bitner and Hubbert,
1994).

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

In this Chapter, the researcher has made an attempt to study and understand the complex concepts of
Customer Satisfaction. This attempt includes, understanding the basic concepts of Customer
satisfaction, analyzing research studies made by earlier researchers in respect of Customer Satisfaction
in megha mart Industry, various Customer Satisfaction Models and various Methods of Measurement
of Customer Satisfaction. For this, the researcher has used various books, research Journals and
websites. The detailed list is further elaborated in the Bibliography. Through this Literature Survey
researcher wants to find out which are the important parameters of Customer Satisfaction in respect of
Nisarga megha mart in Gajendragad City. Gajendragad presently is one of the most modern cities of
Karnataka.

For the survey of existing literature, the research papers published in Journals, Reference books,
Magazine, internet, government report etc were referred. The observation and findings presented in this
section are based on this literature review.
Feinberg, Sheffler, Meoli and Rummel (1989)considered the social stimulation provided by malls,
finding that the mall served as an outlet for social behavior. Further examination of this issue was made
by Lotz, Eastlick and Shim (2000),
who studied the similarities and differences between mall entertainment seekers and mall shoppers.
Their results supported hypotheses that there are different motivations for individuals who visit a mall
for entertainment activities versus those who visit for shopping purposes.

Roy (1994)in his study considered several characteristics of shoppers -such as functional shopping
motivation, deal proneness, recreational shopping motivation, age, income and family size, to be a
significant influence on mall shopping
frequency.
Burns and Warren (1995) opined that since the store mix and product offerings of many regional
shopping malls are very similar, often the primary discriminator between many of these centers is
merely location. Making the choice to shop at a regional shopping mall other than the one nearest to
one‟s place of residence, therefore, does not appear to be a logical choice in many instances. Such
behaviour, however, appears to be relatively common. It would appear; therefore, that regional
shopping mall choice may not always be based solely on the offerings and location of the available
shopping alternatives

Jackson (1996) in his study observed that malls have become the place where senior citizens walk in
comfort and security, where parents lead their young to Santa Clauses, where singles court, where
teenagers socialize and where everybody consumes. Indeed a new term, “Mall Rats” has been coined to
describe the legions of young people who spend their free time cruising indoor corridors. This
proliferation of uses and of customers has led to the frequent observation that regional malls are the
new downtowns, the centers of informal social interactions, the successors to the traditional
marketplace.
An early conceptual article, Kotler, (1973) develops a systematic exposition of “atmosphere” as a
buying influence. Kotler explores the notion that one of the most significant features of the total
product is the place where it is bought or consumed. “The atmosphere of the place is more influential
than the product itself in the purchase decision" Kotler, (1973, p. 48). The term atmospherics is defined
in Kotler, (1973) as the effort to design buying environments to produce specific emotional effects in
the buyer that enhance his/her purchase probability. Atmosphere is experienced through the senses,
primarily sight, sound, scent, and touch. Bitner used the term servicescapes to describe the idea of
“atmospherics” in a service setting. Servicescapes also adds the notion of the service personnel to
physical setting (Bitner, 1992). Bitner elaborates on the neglect of the servicescape as follows: “The
effect of the atmospherics, or physical design and décor elements, on customers and workers is
recognised by managers and mentioned in virtually all marketing, retailing, and organisational
behaviour texts. Yet, particularly in marketing, there is a surprising lack of empirical research or
theoretically based frameworks addressing the role of physical surroundings in consumption settings.
The service scape is describe as covering such elements as physical layout of the service facility,
ambience, background music and that the service scape can also affect customer’s impressions of and
satisfaction with service” (Lovelock, Patterson and Walker, 2001). Service quality or desired
expectations are defined as a blend of what the customer believes can be and should be (Zeithaml and
Bitner 1996). Service quality can be measured by the level of discrepancy between consumer
expectations or desire and their perceptions of what they received as described by the SERQUAL scale
(Bebko 2000). Customer satisfaction occurs when the value and customer service provided through a
retailing experience meet or exceed consumer expectations. If the expectations of value and customer
service are not met, the consumer will be dissatisfied. Unfortunately for retailers, most consumers do
not complain when dissatisfied, they just shop elsewhere (Jackson, 1999). Retailers should always keep
in mind that customer expectations move continuously upward and that only satisfied customers are
likely to remain loyal in the long run.

The concept of super market, Shopping mall is very new in Gajendragad people, their attitude towards
such malls is big showrooms, trolleys, wide variety of products means- high costs with high quality.
But this attitude should be changed. Such a challenge is taken y Nisarga Megha Mart and they have
changed the attitude to a very extent but still they have to work hard to bring the drastic change in
whole Gajendragad..

I am sure that Nisarga Megha Mart has a bright future, and has number of opportunities to expand its
business. So it has spread- out over the Chinnayyanamath with number of branches.
