CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION

1.1: INTRODUCTION:

The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customer’s needs & wants.
The field of consumer behavior studies how individuals, groups & organisation
select, buy, use and dispose goods services, ideas or experiences to satisfy their
needs and desires.

Understanding consumer behaviors and “Knowing customers” are never


simple. Customers may say one thing but do another. They may not be in touch
with their deeper motivation, they may respond to influences that change their
mind at the last minute.

In the modern marketing, it is absolutely necessary on the part of the producer


to know the value structure of the society and the preferential motives of the
consumer, because profit is the main motive for the producers. Marketers are
the “life blood of business”.

Today, the customer is the king and the life of the modern marketing concept.
To succeed in the modern market, a thorough study of consumer behavior is
essential. The introduction of consumer needs and desires and satisfaction of
the consumers is in fact the real difference between the traditional concept of
marketing and the modern concept of marketing.

Motorcycles have a larger wheelbase and are preferred for their fuel efficiency,
economy and low maintenance. They usually have a four-stroke engine for
better fuel economy and low pollution level, and their by two stroke for power
rides.. Bajaj Auto ,Hero ,Honda,, BAJAJ , Yamaha motorcycles, Royal Enfield
motors are some of the companies which produce motorcycles in India. The
four stroke and two stroke engines of the motorcycles are mainly responsible
for the growth of the segment of two wheelers in the country.

Any industry or unit aims at consumer satisfaction is dependent on consumer


tastes and satisfaction. Studying customer provides clues for developing new
products, product features, prices, channels, messages & other marketing mix
elements.

CHAPTER-2
INDUSTRY PROFILE 
2.1 TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY: 

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, and pricing and easy loan repayments.
Indian streets are full of people of all age groups riding a two-wheeler. The
populace sees motorized two wheelers as a symbol of status. Thus, in India, we
would see swanky four wheels jostling with our ever reliable and sturdy steed:
The two-wheeler. 

Two-wheeler is one of the rare industries, which is capital as well as labor


intensive. The setting up of a green field venture and ancillary network require
enormous capital investment. The assembly operation is highly labor
intensive. 

Two-wheeler production entails an assembly of over 700 components,


including those sourced from vendors / independent service (about 60-70%). In
the engine plant, engine components (cast/ forged parts) are machined and
assembled along-with other components. The engine is then transferred to the
main plant and assembled with the body and bought out components. 
Engine is the heart of an automobile. The function of an automobile engine is
to convert chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, to power the
vehicle. In the engine, petrol and air mixture is burnt from the spark ignited by
a spark plug in a cylinder. The combustion builds up pressure, which pushes
the piston.
The reciprocal movement of the piston (riveted to a crankshaft) is converted in
rotating motion. The power is transmitted from the crankshaft to the wheels by
a mechanism of gears. 

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 6


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

The engines can be broadly classified as two and four stroke engines based on
number of strokes used to produce a single power stoke. In a four-stroke engine
- suction, compression, power and exhaust operations are carried out by four
different strokes of the piston. Therefore four-stroke engine produces one
power stoke out of every four strokes of the piston. In a two-stroke engine one
power stroke is produced out of every two strokes of the piston. 
Scooters originated in Italy and were designed for ladies, particularly nuns. It
has no bar in the front and the engine and wheels are covered for the
convenience of women riders. The scooter engine is shaft driven. 
In India, Bajaj Auto started scooter manufacturing in 1972 in collaboration
with Piaggio, Italy. With the passage of time, scooters have taken considerable
position in domestic transport as they are considered as rugged yet safe family
vehicle. This perception was due to a larger board area, which can be used to
carry groceries and a better carrying capacity, which helps in driving three
adults on the vehicle. But the scooters suffered from poor aesthetics, low fuel
efficiency and difficulty in driving. 

The introduction of ABS body along with variometric transmission by Kinetic


Honda changed the perception leading to a shift in demand from moped users
like youngsters and working women. 

Motorcycle - the name is evolved from motorized cycle. A motorcycle has an


engine, wheels and chain exposed. Moreover, it is chain driven. Two-stroke
motorcycles are positioned as power bikes by making use of their high power
delivery to cater the young generation. Four-stroke motorcycle is positioned as
fuel-efficient and environment friendly vehicle. 

Mopeds - the motorcycle with pedals is the entry-level two-wheeler. Mopeds


are the cheapest category of two wheelers, having low power compared to

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 7


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

scooters and motorcycles. Mopeds are most popular amongst college students,
ladies and low-income households. These vehicles cost in the range of
Rs12,000 and onwards. Mopeds are predominantly used for small distance
transportation. Mopeds are also used as the second vehicle in the family along
with car or scooter/motorcycle. 

Autorickshaw, as the name BAJAJ KING ZX indicates is a motorised cycle


rikshaw, a three-wheeler. The shortage of personal and mass commute
transport in the country, easy maneuverability on narrow and crowded roads
and low operation costs gave rise to exponential growth for three-wheeler
industry in the country. Three-wheelers are also used as goods transport
vehicles for small distance transportation within the city limits. 

The Indian three-wheeler industry is dominated with petrol and new cng engine
vehicles. But the dominance was threatened to an extent with the introduction
of diesel engines from Crompton Greaves, which provides a benefit of low
operating cost. But higher vibration and maintenance cost lead to drop in sales
of diesel engine three-wheelers. 

Two-wheelers emit harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and


hydrocarbons. The emission norms are becoming stringent the world over. In
India, the norms are being implemented in two phases. While the first phase
Euro 1 norms have become applicable since April 1996, even more stringent
norms Euro 2 will come into effect from April 1, 2000.
The details about emission norms. 

For the two-wheelers new emission norm for year 2000 will be an acid test as

none of the present models except four stroke vehicles confirm to the norms.

To full-fill emission norms the manufacturers have three options: to switch to

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 8


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

four-stroke engines, to fit catalytic converters for the existing models, to

improve upon the existing two-stroke engine.

Two decades of Bajaj Pulsar: History, Journey & Evolution of India’s


favourite ‘sportsbike’!
Bajaj Pulsar is certainly India's darling sportsbike for almost two decades now.
Over the years, the Pulsar range saw the addition of numerous models and even
more interesting have been the timely updates that have kept the brand going
strong, even today. Here's a glimpse at Bajaj Pulsar's amazing journey!

2.3 PRODUCT PROFILE

the Indian two-wheeler market is on the verge of completing 20 glorious years.
Almost two decades back, Bajaj Auto took a bold attempt and launched the

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 14


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

muscular-looking Pulsar that stood nothing less than a dream bike for millions
of youngsters across the nation. Multiple models in the Pulsar range came
along with multiple features that even Indians had seen for the first time.  That
said, more than a style statement, the Pulsar became a motorcycle icon for the
youth and within no time, it started setting the sales charts on fire. Fast forward
to today, after 18 years of its inception, the Pulsar range is still going strong
which in itself shows how much the Indians are in love with the
brand. Currently, the Pulsar line up comprises of as many as 9 models with
engine displacements ranging from 125cc to 220cc. In over 18 years of its
journey in India, the Pulsar brand has seen a total of 1.25 crore buyers across
the globe. A significant portion of this figure comprises of exports as well.
While 97.1 lakh Pulsars were sold in India during these years, 28.3 lakh units
saw new homes abroad.
Bajaj Pulsars have been highly popular in almost every state of India.
However, coming to region-specific data, Tamil Nadu tops the list of the
biggest markets for the Pulsar brand in the country.  Also, Pulsar 150 has been
the highest-selling variant over the years and is still selling like hotcakes. One
of the prime reasons behind is the timely updates given to what people used to
call a ‘sports bike’ initially. Yes, that was the impact! First launched in India in
October 2001, Bajaj Pulsar is currently sold in over 65+ countries across the
world. Talking of the overwhelming sales performance in India, the company
claims that the Pulsar brand currently commands a market share of 42 percent
in the sports motorcycle segment. Now, as a tribute to this iconic brand, let’s
take a look at the journey of Bajaj Pulsar and see here India’s highly loved bike
has evolved over the years.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Lutz (1981): In this study a perspective into consumer behavior is motivated


by a desire to understand the relationship between attitude and behavior. His

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 37


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

research paper is aimed to determine the customer’s perception towards the


YAMAHA SZ-X motorbike. The study has been conducted in Burdwan, a
district town of West Bengal, India. In total 100 respondents filled the
questionnaire. The respondents were distributed on the, basis of their age and
income group. The degree of satisfaction of the customers for Yamaha SZ-X
motor bike has been measured on the basis of scale (excellent, good, average,
moderate, low, very poor etc.). Results reveal that consumers are very satisfied
after using the product. Further results show that there is a significant relation
between the brand name and the preference of customers. Hence, it has been
recommended that the company should focus on fuel economy, servicing cost
of the bike inside the show room and spare parts prices of the bike.

Rajmani Singh and AS Yasso (2001): He also pointed out that a major part of
growth in the two-wheeler industry has come from motor cycles, which are
considered fuel efficient, reliable and its suitability on rough roads. As per his
study, TVSSuzuki, Hero: Honda, Bajaj dominates the two wheeler scene. The
study also says that due to stiff competition from automobile major Bajaj
which is a largest producer of scooters the LML is facing considerably stiff
competition. However, dominance of this category has been declining because
of shift in customer preference towards motor bikes.

Siddhartha and S Mukherjee (2002): The Study reveals. That, the two-
wheelers in India are used for variety of work such as visiting people, carrying
loads, outdoor jobs like selling and buying. In rural areas it helps people to
travel more frequently to nearby towns to their daily needs. The two-wheeler
has become a valuable support for increasing productivity and in turn the
profit, besides helping as a personal mode of transportation.

Mr. Subhadip Roy(2006) SR Mohnot (2002): In his study of two and three
wheelers he out from the standpoint of means of personal transportation. The
two-wheeler has become anexpression of the owners' personality. The
(customer in making his choice does evaluate the product in terms of utility,

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 38


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

fuel economy, reliability, maintenance, affordability, performance, good after-


sales service at reasonable cost, availability of spare parts at :economical
prices, looks, safety and comfort

Madern, Maull, Smart & Baker, 2005: There are number of imperial studies
on specific relationship of employees satisfaction. Often the quality of the
relationship is called satisfaction mirror which gives an idea that success of
business is from satisfaction of employee which is reflected in term of the
customer satisfaction. Service quality is derived from employee satisfaction for
example if employees are satisfied it has direct effect on both customer
satisfaction and service quality.

M Abdul Haneef, M Edwin Gnanadhas, Mr. BA Abdul Karim,Mr. Vikas


Singhal (2006): In his study of automobile Industy sector he has mentioned
that the two- wheeler segment has recorded significant change in the past 4-5
years. The market for motorcycles is growing and its sale rose by 27 percent
annually during the last four years. He pointed out that while the market for
motorcycles is growing that for mopeds and geared scooters is shrinking. This
change in the taste of the consumers is possibly due to the technological
change. Also most of the manufacturers like Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS had
reduced the prices of their entry level motorcycles in order to capture a bigger
share of the market.

Hanif, Hafez & Riaz 2010: Customer satisfaction is an evaluation of


difference between prior expectations about product and its actual
performance. Customer satisfaction is how customers judge the satisfaction
level

Hemant C R, 2011”emphasized the need of continuous market research. He


suggested that there is a genuine need of continuous sales analysis so as to
sustain the market share.”

Duggani Yuvaraju and Durga Rao (2014) have made a study on, “Customer
Satisfaction towards Honda Two Wheelers: A Case Study in Tirupati”. The
study has aimed to analyze the customer satisfaction of two wheelers. The
study has found that 60 per cent of the respondents have come to know Honda
Bikes through Advertisement media, 90 per cent of the respondents were
completely satisfied with the mileage and performance of the bike.

3.2 INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING

“Marketing is so basic that it cannot be considered a separate function. It


is the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result i.e., from
the customer point of view. Business success is not determined by the producer
but by the customer” as defined by Peter Drucker. There are other scholars who
define marketing as the criteria & delivery of a standard of living. Therefore,
marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals & groups
obtain what they need & want through creating, offering and exchanging
products of value cost and satisfaction exchange, transaction and relationships,
markets and marketing and marketers.

A human need is a stat felt deprivation of some basic satisfaction. Needs


are not created by their society or by marketer, they exist in the very texture of
human biology and the human condition.

Wants and desire for specific satisfiers of these deeper needs. Human
needs are continually shaped by social forces and instantaneous peoples needs
are few their wants are many.

Demands are wants for specific products that are backed by an ability
and willingness to buy them. Wants become demands when supported by
purchasing power.

The concept of value, cost and satisfaction are crucial in the final
product choice, the several alternatives of the customer constitute his product
choice set, the additional needs associated with the product is called the need
set. Customer ranks the products from need satisfying to the last need
GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 40
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

satisfying value is the consumers estimate of the products overall capacity to


satisfy his or her needs. The value of each actual product would depend on how
close it comes to the ideal product.

Marketing management is the process of planning and executing the


conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of goods, services and ideas to
create exchange with target groups that satisfy customer market is formally
carried out by the combined efforts of sales market is formally carried out by
the combined efforts of sales manager, sales people, advertising, promotion
manager, product and brand manager, market and industry managers and the
marketing vice president.

3.3 MARKETING

Marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and


groups obtain what they need and want through offerings and exchanging
products of value with others.

Market

A market consists of all potential customers sharing a particular need or


want who might be willing and able to engage in exchange to satisfy the need
or want.

Market Segmentation

The task of breaking the total market into segments that share common
properties is market segmentation. It is the process of identifying a group
consumer with similar needs and producing a product that will meet those
needs at a profit.

Market segmentation will facilitate the firm to identity and find out the
additional benefit desired by the people to pay benefits and source from where
they would like to buy it.

3.4 MARKETING MIX

Meaning and definition:


GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 41
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

“Marketing mix is a set of controllable marketing variable that the firm


tends to produce to generate the response it wants in the market” – Philip
Kotler

Marketing mix evolves with the development of four areas namely


product, price, place and promotion.

The above four elements of marketing mix must be coordinated and


balanced in order to achieve an optimum marketing mix. The above four
elements of marketing mix are interdependent and essential for a successful
marketing campaign, marketing mix acts as an integrated marketing system and
four elements constitute the marketing strategy

Customer Satisfaction

Increasing competition (whether for-profit or no-profit) is forcing


businesses to pay much more attention to satisfying customers. (It may help the
reader to notice the role of customer satisfaction in the overall context of
product or service development and management.

Customer satisfaction
A business term is a measure of how products and services supplied by a
company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key
performance indicator within business and is part of the four perspectives of a
balanced scorecard.

In a competitive market place where businesses compete for customers,


customers satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has
become a key element of business strategy.

Customer Expectations
Customer is defined as anyone who receives that which is produced by
the individual or organization that has value. Customer expectations are
continuously increasing. Brand loyalty is a thing of the past. Customers seek
out products and producers that are best able to satisfy their requirements. A

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 42


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

product does not need to be rated highest by customers on all dimensions, only
on those they think are important.

Measuring customer satisfaction

Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers


while targeting non-customers; measuring.

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, 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 organization’s products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in
the effort of quantitative measurement, although a large quantity of research in
this area has recently been developed. Work done by Berry, Brodeur between
1990 and 1998 defined ten ‘Quality Values’ which influence satisfaction
behavior, further expanded by Berry in 2002 and known as the ten domains of
satisfaction. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value,
Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental
Teamwork Front line service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and
Innovation. These factors are emphasized for continuous improvement and
organizational change measurement and are most often utilized to develop the
architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model. Work done
by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry between 1985 and 1988 provides the
basis for the measurement of customer satisfaction with a service by using the
gap between the customer’s expectation of performance and their perceived
experience of performance. This provides the measurer with a satisfaction
“gap” which is objective and quantitative in nature. Work done by Cronin and
Taylor propose the “Confirmation/disconfirmation” theory of combining the

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 43


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

“gap” described by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry as two different measures


(Perception and expectation of performance) into a single measurement of
performance according to expectation. According to Garbrand, Customer
satisfaction equals perception of performance divided by expectation of
performance.

The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set


of statements using a Likert Technique or scale. The customer is asked to
evaluate each statement and in term of their perception and expectation the of
the performance of the organization being measured.

Customer Satisfaction – a Critical Component of Profitability

Exceptional customer service results in greater customer retention which


n turn results in higher profitability. Customer loyalty is a major contributor to
sustainable profit growth. To achieve success, you must make superior service
second nature of your organization. A seamless integration of all components
in the service-profit chain-employee satisfaction, value creation, customer
satisfaction, customer loyalty, and profit and growth-links all the critical
dynamics of top customer service.

Sadly, mature companies often forget or forsake the thing that made
them successful in the first place: a customer-centric business model. They
lose focus on the customer and start focusing on the bottom line and quarterly
results. They look for ways to cut costs or increase revenues, often at the
expense of the customer.

They forget that satisfying customer needs and continuous value


innovation is the only path to sustainable growth. This creates opportunities
for new, smaller companies to emulate and improve upon what made their
bigger competitors successful in the first place and steal their customers.

Factors Affecting Consumer Behavior

GOVT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS), CHITRADURGA. Page 44


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS BAJAJ PULSAR -220

A consumer buying behavior is influenced by several factors or forces.


They are:

1. Internal or psychological factors.


2. Socio-cultural factors.
3. Economic factors.
4. Personal factors.
5. Other factors.

3.5CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Satisfaction is the level of a person’s felt state resulting from comparing
a product’s perceived performance in relation to a person’s expectation. The
satisfaction level is a function of the difference between perceived performance
and expectations. A customer could experience one of three broad levels of
satisfaction. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is
dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is
satisfied.
