Introduction of Consumer Buying Behaviour

Consumer behaviour has been always of great interest to marketers. The knowledge of

consumer behavior helps the marketer to understand how consumers think, feel and select from

alternatives like products, brands and the like and how the consumers are influenced by their

environment, the reference groups, family, and salespersons and so on. A consumer buying

behavior is influenced by cultural, social, personal and psychological factors. Most of these

factors are uncontrollable and beyond the hands of marketers but they have to be considered

while trying to understand the complex behavior of the consumers. Consumer is the study “of the

processes involved when individuals or groups select, purchase, use, or dispose of products,

services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy needs and desires” (Solomon 1995, 7). In the marketing

context, the term „consumer ‟ refers not only to the act of purchase itself, but also to patterns of

aggregate buying which include pre-purchase and post-purchase activities. Pre-purchase activity

might consist of the growing awareness of a need or want, and a search for and evaluation of

information about the products and brands that might satisfy it. Post-purchase activities include

the evaluation of the purchased item in use and the reduction of any anxiety which accompanies

the purchase of expensive and infrequently-bought items. Each of these has implications for

purchase and repurchase and they are amenable in differing degrees to marketer influence

(Foxall 1987). Engel, et al. (1986, 5) define consumer behaviour as “those acts of individuals

directly involved in obtaining, using, and disposing of economic goods and services, including

the decision processes that precede and determine these acts”. Simple observation provides

limited insight into the complex nature of consumer choice and researchers have increasingly

sought the more sophisticated concepts and methods of investigation provided by behavioural

sciences in order to understand, predict, and possibly control consumer behaviour more

effectively.

Introduction of After Sales Service

The importance of after sales service has been recognized by durable goods manufacturers.

Firms offering durable goods are necessarily offering after sales services. In developed countries

more emphasize placed on after sales services, because after sales service not only proving

competitive advantage and helps in brand positioning but also contributes significantly in profit

generation. Customers are very sensitive in their purchase decision, especially in durable goods.

Due to growing complexities in business-to-business products, the relationship between a seller

and a buyer usually never ends after the purchase transaction. Customers buy augmented

products, expecting bundle of values that come with the product which will satisfy the buyer.

Thus, integrating services into the core offerings in industries has taken crucial importance.

Especially, after-sales service is considered a tool for enhancing a valuable advantage for the

customer as well as it is a business opportunity for the company.

After-sales services have proven to be of importance, and a strategic after-sales framework is

necessary. Three major activities that play a crucial role within the after-sales services in the

industry are field technical assistance, spare parts distribution and customer care. However,

intensive studies regarding after-sales in a specific industry are lacking. This thesis focuses on

the Swedish heavy equipment machinery industry organizations of different sizes and thus, the

purpose of this study is to investigate the major activities of after-sales service focusing on

customer relationship among three classified sizes of after-sales service providers.

Introduction of Electronic Goods

Electronic Goods are electronic equipment intended for everyday use, most often

in entertainment, communications and office productivity.

The Electronics Industry in India took off around 1965 with an orientation towards space and

defence technologies. This was rigidly controlled and initiated by the government. This was

followed by developments in consumer electronics mainly with transistor radios, Black & White

TV, Calculators and other audio products. Colour Televisions soon followed. In 1982-a

significant year in the history of television in India - the government allowed thousands of colour

TV sets to be imported into the country to coincide with the broadcast of Asian Games in New

Delhi. 1985 saw the advent of Computers and Telephone exchanges, which were succeeded by

Digital Exchanges in 1988. The period between 1984 and 1990 was the golden period for

electronics during which the industry witnessed continuous and rapid growth.

The output of the Electronic Industry in India is worth Rs. 340 Billion at present.

India is also an exporter of a vast range of electronic components and products for the following

segments

• Display technologies

• Entertainment electronics

• Optical Storage devices

• Passive components

• Electromechanical components

• Telecom equipment

• Transmission & Signaling equipment

• Semiconductor designing

• Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS)

CHAPTER-IIILITERATURE REVIEW

Page 14: 4th Semester Project

Literature Review

Hawkins, Best, Coney and Mokherjee in their study they have discussed various factors

affecting consumer behaviour for buying such as demographic and social influences (family and

household), group influence, impact of advertising and internal influences (learning, perception,

attitude etc.). They have also made clear the topics such as types of consumer decisions,

purchase involvement and product involvement. They have given emphasized on information

search process and various ways for providing relevant information to the consumers are

recommended in their study.

Leslie Lazar and Schiffman in their study authors suggested consumer behaviour as individual

differs as from group. The family decision for a purchase decision is entirely different from

individual decision making. The authors discussed various variables that affect consumer

purchase decision. The authors focused on family life cycle and various needs of consumer

during different life stages. The family decision making process as a group decision making is

elaborated and it is recommended to segment the market according to family need hierarchy.

Bitta and Della in their study they have proposed that consumer behaviour studies play an

important role in deciding marketing segments and marketing strategies. The authors

recommended that consumer is often studied because certain discussions are significantly

affected by their behaviour or expected actions.

Karunik and Schiffman in their study they have proposed dynamic business environment is

turbulent as never before and the service industry as promising as never before. In this era of

intense competition companies understand the customer is the king in the market and success

depends a lot on the efficiency of the managers in delivering the promised product or services.

The responsibility lies on the organisations to develop a culture, ethics, responsibility, value and

quality services should be offered to achieve higher level of customer satisfaction. Dynamic

consumer behaviour is required to analyse various factors affecting consumer purchase decision

directly or indirectly.

14

Page 15: 4th Semester Project

Batra & Kazmi in their study they have suggested consumer decision making process, buyers

black box and importance of consumer behaviour studies for marketers in order to understand

what satisfy the ultimate consumer. Young buyers, women and children considered as uprising

consumer groups as a part of competitive market situations.

Armistead and Clark investigate the after sales support strategy relation with customer

satisfaction. They studied five consumer and capital goods manufacturers. Results show that

there are strong links between production, design, and after sales service strategy. After sales

service is an important means for differentiating brands rather it increases customer loyalty and

retention. It is suggested that firms should evaluate the significance and the strategic role that

after sales services can play in differentiating and developing market competitive positions.

Ehinlanwo and Zairi examine the best practices of after sales service in four major automobile

firms of Germany that are Ford, Toyota, Nissan, and Fiat. They sent open ended and close ended

questionnaires in these four companies. It is concluded that the after sales service represents a

source of profit, customer satisfaction and is a source of product differentiation. They

recommended that car producers must re-engineer their process in providing after sales service

by making truly changes in their policies.

Rosen and Surprenant study whether after sales service is enough for the long term relationship

with the customers. They selected two different industries, one was providing sophisticated

equipment to business customers and the other one was a large consumer electronic manufacture

in AmericaResults show that companies are focusing more towards providing the additional

services to gain competitive advantage with good communication and flexibility. It is suggested

that there is a need firms should understand to retain long term and satisfying relationship with

the customers, that besides providing quality after sales services, communication with the

customers, flexibility in the relation and planning is also important.

15

Page 16: 4th Semester Project

Saccani, Songini, and Gaiardelli empirically investigates the role of after sales service in the

consumer electronics, IT, house hold appliances, and automobile industry. They studied 48 firms

in these industries located in Italy as their sample. The technique used is exploratory in which

they went through detailed and less detailed case studies and interviews with the mangers to

identify cross firm and cross industry differences. Analysis was done with the help of a detailed

questionnaire. Results show that after sales service provides a base for improving company

image, customer satisfaction and retention. They suggested that companies should develop a

strategic approach in delivering after sales services, moreover cross-functional and cross

organizational feedback systems should be develop to respond adequately to competitive

challenges.

Rigopoulou examine the consequences of after sales service on customer satisfaction such as

repurchase intention and how products promotes through word of mouth if they are content with

the company’s brand in the electronic market of Greece. Data was collected though close ended

questionnaire which were administered through telephone interviews from 420 respondents in

Greece. They considered installation, delivery, customer satisfaction, re-purchase intention and

word of mouth as variables. They used path analysis to draw results, which show that after sales

service has significant and positive impact on customer satisfaction which in turn positively

impacts buying behavior of the consumers. They suggest that services marketing managers

should understand the impact of after sales service on customer satisfaction and behavioral

intentions.

Shaharudin examined the factors of after sales service which affects customer satisfaction in the

electronic market of Malaysia. It is recommended that companies should focus on improving

after sales service management, moreover there should be sophisticated software, and enough

back up inventory, response time should be reduced, staff should be trained and continuous

improvements in functional activities to produce high quality products to keep the customer

satisfied.

CHAPTER- IVRESEARCH METHODOLOGY

17

Page 18: 4th Semester Project

Research Methodology

Methodology is defined as, “the systematic, objective and exhaustive search for the study of facts

relevant to any problem of any field". Methodology may be described as a method of getting

facts to be used by executive in formulation of policies and plans. It can also be defined as the

systematic gathering. It is a systematic search for the information. It involves data collection, its

analysis and interpretation. Research cannot draw decision, but it helps the researcher in the task

of decision making. A successful researcher will never depend upon guesswork. He looks for

more accurate information through research methodology.

THE SCOPE OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The main idea behind the every marketing research is to know more about the consumers,

dealers and the product. As the business grows the distance between the manufacturers and the

consumers also widens. The management depends upon marketing research as a tool in solving

the marketing problems. It helps in taking a fruitful and efficient decision as to the flow of goods

and services in the hands of the consumers.

Marketing research has steadily expended their activities and techniques. Marketing research

activities and the percentage companies carrying on each activity. These activities have benefited

from increasingly sophisticated techniques may research techniques such as a questionnaires

construction and area sampling come along early and more and quickly and widely applied by

marketing researcher; others such as motivation research and mathematical method came in with

prolonged and heated debated among practitioners over their practical usefulness. But they too

settled in the corpus of marketing research methodology.

18

Page 19: 4th Semester Project

RESEARCH DESIGN

The problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the prepared of the

research project, are popularly known as "Research Design".

In order to draw various information like how much, what, when, which, why arrangement of

condition are done for collection and analysis of data in systematic manner to combine relevant

information to research purpose with economy is producer. Just as for better economical and

attractive construction of a house wended a blue print prepared by all expert architect. Similarly

we need are search design/plan in advance of dated collection and analysis of project.

The research design includes many relevant questions such as:

1) What is the study about?

2) Why is the study being made?

3) Where will the study be carried out?

4) Conclusions and suggestion!

5) What type of data is required?

Classification of Research Methods

Research methods are broadly classified into 3 types, namely, quantitative method, qualitative

method and mixed method. As per the requirements of the research, suitable method can be used.

Quantitative Research Method

This method takes into account the earlier experiences about the facts from authors and scholars

and it has a theoretical approach of study. Books, journals, articles, book reviews, web pages are

the different resources that are available for data collection in this method.

Qualitative Research Method

This method requires actual interference of humans in order to capture the required data or

information. They opine, this method is based on the actions and behavioral patterns of humans

and as stated earlier, this method needs surveys, interviews and questionnaires in order to collect

the needed information.
