INTRODUCTION

Understanding how consumers shop for vehicles, what leads them to buy, and how

to acquire and maintain their loyalty is increasingly important in today’s complex

environment.

Buying a car used to be a pretty simple process: A consumer would check out some

ads, talk to a few friends and head into the dealer for more information. Today that

process has grown more complex, as consumers increasingly rely on new tools such as

the Internet, blog sites, Web forums and online social networks. This increased

sophistication has resulted in changing buying patterns as well as a shift of power in

favour of the consumer. Keeping up with the pace of change isn’t easy for many vehicle

manufacturers and dealers. Understanding how consumers shop for vehicles, what leads

them to buy, and how to acquire and maintain their loyalty is increasingly important in

this complex environment. Without this knowledge—or with insufficient or inaccurate

knowledge—companies and dealers will find it difficult to improve the customer

experience as well as their own business performance.

Consumers are increasingly driven by their hearts, as well as their heads: although

rational factors such as safety, price and reliability play a role in consumers’ decision-

making process, more emotional aspects often trump them. For example, when

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.4

Page 5: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

consumers were asked why they switched to a different brand, responses such as “fits my

needs,” wanted to try something new” and “enjoyment of the vehicle” scored higher than

fuel economy and safety. And when it comes to the factors that lead buyers to repurchase

from the same dealer, greater importance is placed on trustworthiness and friendliness

these days than on factors such as the degree of knowledge possessed by the sales staff.

This poses a challenge for manufacturers and dealers since it requires that they appeal to

both the rational and emotional aspects of buying a car.

Customer loyalty is fleeting: With so much riding on the relationship and emotional

factors, consumer trust and loyalty can be easily broken. Consumers are ever more

demanding and are prepared to walk at any time, even within a month of purchase, and

often they won’t give a company a second chance. If that response isn’t fast enough,

many consumers will look for a new dealer, a new manufacturer or both.

Loyalty doesn’t end with the sale: Vehicle ownership is a long-term, complex

relationship among the consumer, the manufacturer and the dealer. Post-sale

communications and after sales services are essential to keep the relationship alive. For

example, consumers indicated that they appreciate or greatly appreciate dealer contact

such as having the service manager phone following vehicle servicing, receiving regular

service reminders or having a sales consultant phone following delivery of a vehicle. It’s

also clear that personalized communication is key to maintaining the relationship. Among

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.5

Page 6: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

the types of contact that consumers said would be more likely to lead them to purchase

their next vehicle from the same dealer or manufacturer were a personalized repurchase

offer via post and personalized communication after a complaint.

Further collaboration between the manufacturer and dealer is key to driving

growth: Consumers don’t always make the distinction between vehicle manufacturer and

dealer. For instance, if either party fails to respond quickly enough to an inquiry,

consumers will switch both brand and dealer. These points are the importance of retail

integration in the battle of customers and sustainable profits. Together, both

manufacturers and dealers are better positioned to respond faster and more effectively to

consumers’ needs, wants and preferences.

The project report was carried on to know the influential factors to buy cars at RNS

though Bellad Motors selling the same, provided by the company will help to enhance the

company’s sales. To know the satisfaction level of existing consumers this will help to

maintain loyalty of the costumer. The project report entitled “A Study on Impact of

consumer buying behavior on sales” provided by Bellad Motors (Maruti Suzuki) Unkal

cross, Hubli. Is fulfillment of requirement of MBA 4th semester in Belgaum institute of

Management studies (MBA), Belgaum.

It was an opportunity to learn the practical aspects of industries. Selected this topic

concerned to their (industry) requirement as the Bellad Motors (P) Ltd. (Maruti Suzuki) is

newly opened exclusive showroom for Maruti Suzuki Cars and now they want to know

why the most of the customers prefer to purchase Maruti Cars at RNS. So they need to

know what are the influential factors, Why customers preferring RNS Motors. The

needed information collected by a structured questionnaire that included all the

LITERATURE REVIEW

Consumer buying behaviour

Possibly the most challenging concept in marketing deals with understanding why buyers

do what do (or do not do). But such knowledge is critical for markets since having a

strong understanding of buyer behaviour will help shed light on what is important to the

customer and also suggest the important influence on customer decision making. Using

this information, marketers can create marketing programs that they believe will be of

interest to customers. As we might guess, factors affecting how customer makes

decisions are extremely complex. Buyers’ behaviour is deeply rooted in psychology with

dashes of sociology thrown in just to make things more interesting. Since every person in

the world is different, it is impossible to have simple rules that explain how buying

decisions are made. But who have spent many years and analyzing customer activity have

presented us with useful “guidelines” in how someone decides whether or not to make a

purchase.

Types of Purchase Decisions

Consumers are faced with purchase decisions nearly every day. But not all decisions are

treated the same. Some decisions are more complex than others and thus require more

effort by the consumer. Other decisions are fairly routine and require little effort. In

general, consumers face four types of purchase decisions:

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.8

Page 9: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

Minor New Purchase: These purchases represent something new to a consumer but in

the customer’s mind is not a very important purchase in terms of need, money or other

reason (e.g., status within a group).

Minor Re-purchase: these are the most routine of all purchases and often the consumer

returns to purchase the same product without giving much thought to other product

options (e.g., consumer is brand loyalty).

Major New Purchase: These purchases are the most difficult of all purchases because

these are important to the consumer but the consumer has little or no previous experience

making the purchase and is important. This type of decision often (but not always)

requires the consumer to engage in an extensive decision-making process.

Major Re-Purchase: These purchase decisions are also important to the customer but

the customer feels more confident in making the decision since they have experienced

purchasing the product in past. For marketers it is important to understand how customers

treat the purchase decisions they face. If a company is targeting customers who feel a

purchase decision is difficult (i.e., Major New purchase), their marketing strategy may

vary greatly from a company targeting customers who view the purchase decision as

routine. In fact the same company may face both situations at the same time, for some of

the product is new, while other customers see the purchase as routine. The implication of

buying behaviour for marketers is that different buying situations require different

marketing efforts.

Consumer Behaviour.

The decision process and physical activity individuals engage in when evaluating,

acquiring, using, or disposing of the goods and services.

OR

The mental, emotional, and physical activities that people engage in when selecting,

purchasing, using and disposing of products and services so as to satisfy needs and

desires.

1. Decision Making as Problem Solving

a) To make purchases, consumers, go through a buying decision process that can be

thought of as solving a problem.

b) This process has six stages:

(1) Need Recognition

(2) Choice of an involvement level

(3) Identification of alternatives

(4) Evaluation of alternatives

(5) Decisions

(6) Post-purchase behaviour

c) There are number of factors that may affect this model of decision making.

i) The buyer can withdraw at any stage prior to the actual purchase.

ii)Some stages in this model may be skipped, depending upon the buying situation.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.10

Page 11: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

iii) The stages are not all of the same length. For example a need may be recognized

in an instant but the identification of alternatives to satisfy the need may take

hours, days, or weeks.

iv) Not all stages will be performed consciously for all purchases.

d) Recognition of an unsatisfied need, or need recognition, creates tension or

discomfort for the consumer.

i) This need may arise internally, such as feeling hungry or thirsty, or

ii) It may arise because of external stimulation through such things as:

1) An ad for a product,

2) The sight of the product itself

iii) Needs may also be stimulated through dissatisfaction with the consumer is

currently using.

iv) Recognition of a need will often cause conflict for the consumer.

1. The consumer has decided how to allocate his/her resources of time and

money between completing needs.

2. If this conflict is not resolved the buying process stops.

e) The choice of an involvement level is when the consumers decide how much effort

in satisfying a need. The more effort exerted, the higher the involvement.

i) Involvement tends to be greater under any of the following

(1) The consumer lacks information about the purchase

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.11

Page 12: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

(2) The product is viewed as important

(3) The risk of making a bad decision is previewed as high

(4) The product has considerable social importance

(5) The product is seen as having a potential for providing significant benefits.

ii)Most buying decisions for relatively low priced products with close substitutes are

low involvement. This would include most products sold in supermarkets, and

variety stores.

iii) It is important to remember that involvement is consumer related and not product

related. This means that a low involvement product foe one person may be a high

involvement product for another person.

(1) The purchase of stereo may be a high involvement purchase for consumers

who is concerned about the cost, but

(2) Be a low involvement purchase for a wealthy consumer who is buying for a

family room.

iv) Impulse buying is an important form of low involvement decision making.

a. These purchase decisions that are made with little or no advance planning.

b. Shoppers have been conditioned to do more impulse buying through self

service, open display retailing.

c. Because of this greater emphasis must be placed in getting shoppers in the store

and making packages and displays more appealing.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.12

Page 13: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

v) Identification of alternatives includes both product and brand alternatives. This

may be simple as a memory scan or an extensive search.

a. The consumer must first identify which of the major product categories might

satisfy the experienced need. For example, a need for transportation may be

satisfied by automobiles, motorcycle, motor scooters, or bicycle.

b. Then the consumer must choose which brands from the selected category to

consider. Using the previous examples, the consumer chooses motorcycle and

not must consider Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Harley-Davidson.

c. The search for alternative will be influenced by:

(1) How much information the consumer already has from past experience and

other sources

(2) The consumer’s confidence in that information

(3) What the time and money costs would be to collect more information.

g) Evaluation of alternative involves establishing criteria with which to evaluate each

alternative before making a decision.

a. This may be a single criterion or several criteria. If there are several criteria, they

normally do not carry equal weight.

b. The criteria that consumers use come from

i. Past experience and feelings toward various brands

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.13

Page 14: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

ii. Opinions of family members and friends.

h) The purchase decisions are a series of related decisions the consumer must make if

they decide to make a purchase.

These decisions may take a long time and include such things as:

i. Special features of the product

ii. Where and when to make the actual purchase

iii. How to take possession

iv. Method of payment.

b. One of the most important of these decisions is which store to purchase the product

from. The reason a person shops at a certain store are called patronage buying

motives and include:

i. Feeling comfortable in the store

ii. Having people like themselves shopping in the store

iii. An environment that reflects their values

c. Successful retailers evaluate their target customer carefully and design their stores

accordingly.

d. It is important to understand customer satisfaction because that is what the

marketing concept is built on.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.14

Page 15: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

i. Customer satisfaction is based upon a comparison between the consumer’s

expectations before using a product and his actual experience with the product.

ii. A consumer is satisfied when the product experience equals or exceeds

expectations.

iii. A consumer is dissatisfied when the experience falls short of expectations.

Marketers can influence consumer’s expectations through advertising claims and

sales presentations.

iv. Marketers can influence the consumer’s experience through the quality of the

product.

i) Post-Purchase Behaviour can influence repeat sales and what the buyers tell other

about the product.

1. In all but the most routine purchases, consumers may experience anxieties the are

explained by the theory of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is any time

there is inconsistency in a person’s cognitions such as knowledge, attitudes, beliefs,

and values.

2. Post purchase dissonance occurs because each of the alternatives considered by the

consumer has both advantages and disadvantages. So even he selected product has

some drawbacks while rejected alternatives have some advantages.

3. Dissonance typically increases as:

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.15

Page 16: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

i ) The dollar value of the purchase increases

ii) The degree of similarity between items selected and items rejected increases

iii) The relative importance of the decision increases.

4. To help reduce post purchase dissonance consumers:

i) Avoid information that is likely to increase dissonance

ii) Seek out information that reinforces the selected product; and

iii) Spend more time in pre-decision evaluations.

5. Marketers can help reduce dissonance through:

ii. Reassuring buyers through their advertising and personal selling

iii. Giving quality post-sales service.

Action steps for bahaviour change

This is circular process. Working through steps 2, 3 and 4 may lead to redefining the

objective in step 1.

1. Define your objective. What is your desired end result? You may begin by thinking

broadly, but narrow your objective so it’s achievable and, if possible, measurable.

How will you know when you’ve achieved your desired result?

2. Select your audience. Brainstorm the possible audiences you could work with and

choose one. Pick the most likely to get your desired result.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.16

Page 17: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

3. Learn about your audience. What do they need? What do they want? What do they

know? What are their perceptions? Who do they respect? Who do they interact with

(business and social networks)? Define the specific change you want the audience to

make to achieve your overall result.

4. Find out about your audience’s barriers to making the change. Go ask your

audience. Possible barriers include: External: it costs too much, technology isn’t

available, laws are conflicting, etc. Personal: they don’t recognize the problem, don’t

know what to do, don’t consider it a priority, etc.

5. Develop strategies to reach your audience, using the behaviuor change principles

(e.g., commitment, feedback, credibility, role models). Are there communities or

political leaders, associations, retailers innovators, or other specific target groups that

could help you reach your desired end result?

6. Develop a method to measure the effectiveness of your strategies. Refer back to

your objective in step 1.

SUMMARY

Key behaviour change principles

Just providing information has a limited effect on behaviour. There is no clear casual

relationship between providing information and changing behaviour.

a. Learn about your customer or audience. What do they know? Care about? Think

about? Who influence them?

b. Address the barriers to changing behaviuor. Barriers may be external (it costs too

much, technology isn’t available, laws are conflicting) or personal (the person doesn’t

know what to do, doesn’t consider it a priority, thinks it’s too hard).

1. Getting involved is the first step to making a commitment, and making a commitment

makes people more people more likely to act. Small commitments lead to big ones.

Start by getting the shop owner involved in a visit. Then ask them to sign a form

stating changes they will make.

2. Feedback and follow-up are important. Feedback gives people cues about the impacts

of their behaviour changes. Additional contacts are also very important in motivating

people to stick with a task.

3. People will listen first to their friends or relatives, or others they see as credible. What

they hear at a dinner party will have more weight than a comprehensive data

summary.

4. Change agents and role models are important. A few people in a group will typically

adopt innovative ideas and behaviors first, and spread them through the group. Find

these people and help them successfully adopt a new behaviour.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.18

Page 19: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

5. Changing attitudes may not change behaviour. There is no strong, direct or consistent

relationship between attitudes and subsequent action.

6. Incentive may help change short-term. But when the reward is removed, they generally

revert to their original behaviour.

7. If you need to provide information, present it effectively. People are more likely to

pray attention to information that is:

a. Vivid: Use language that conjures up a vivid and memorable image, or provide a

demonstration that will stick in someone’s mind.

b. Personal: Make statistical data personally relevant. Talk about personal

consequences or refer to a group with which the person identifies.

c. Specific and concrete: Tell them how to do the behaviour you want them to do.

d. Stated in terms of loss rather than gain: Focus on showing people or business’s

how much they are losing every month or year by not doing a specific behaviour.

e. Told as a story: Use success stories as a motivating example.

f. Emotional: People tend to be persuaded more by emotional messages than

logical ones.

ORGANIZATION PROFILE

MARUTI UDYOG LIMITED

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:

Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of

Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the

lack of an efficient public transport system.

Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from seven prospective partners worldwide. This

was not only due to their undisputed leadership in small cars but also to their

commitment to actively bring to MUL contemporary technology and Japanese

management practices (which had catapulted Japan over USA to the status of the top auto

manufacturing country in the world).

A license and a Joint Venture agreement were signed between Govt of India and

Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.

The objectives of MUL then were:

1. Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.

2. Production of fuel-efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources.

3. Production of large number of motor vehicles which was necessary for economic

growth.

SOCIAL WELFARE:

Welfare Camps

Every year we organize blood donation camps along with Red Cross, in which

employees donate blood. Eye check-up camps, family planning related camps and other

health camps are also organized periodically.

Medical support & welfare

The employees of Maruti have always donated generously to people affected by natural

calamities. They contributed Rs. 2 million to rehabilitate earthquake victims in Latur.

We also run a creche for the children of construction workers, which provides food

shelter and education for 85 children.

Education to underprivileged

DPS Maruti Shiksha Kendra, an education programme for the underprivileged, was

inaugurated at DPS, Maruti Kunj recently. The objective of his project is to educate the

children of below poverty line (BPL) families from the nearby villages of Gurgaon

district. 120 students in the age group of 5-8 years have already enrolled. DPS Maruti

Kunj is providing books, writing material and uniforms, refreshment and transport

facilities to these children.

Education Programme for mothers

'Chetna', an education programme for mothers - is an another endeavour to provide

basic education to mothers of the students of DPS Maruti Kunj and surrounding villages.

Majority of students at the school is first generation learners. Therefore, the concept of

starting a movement of learning 'Chetna' for mothers has been promoted. The response

has been encouraging and about 130 mothers are attending it regularly.

ENVIRONMENT CONCERN

Our environment Policy:

Prevent pollution.

Promote energy reduction and use of alternative energy.

Manage/ reduce those materials that put stress on environment.

Promote the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

Promote "Green" procurement.

Provide our employees with environmental education to

increase their awareness.

Since the commencement of operations in 1981 we've been committed to the protection

of the environment and conservation of non-renewable .energy sources. Our proactive

approach depends not only upon meeting the expectations of the regulatory authorities

but achieving the high standards that we've set as a responsible corporate citizen.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.36

Page 37: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

This philosophy of trying to make a difference to the environment penetrates through

our employees to the process of manufacture and finally into our products.

Pollution Control Camps

Our elaborate system of Free Pollution Check-Up Camps which run at regular intervals,

is designed at making the cars already on the road operate more efficiently. It also

inculcates awareness for environmental protection among the many car users of India.

MPFI

We have introduced Euro II compliant MPFI engines in all our models. Along with

our vendors, we've made investments of over Rs. 60 million for introducing MPFI

technology compliant cars.

CNG

Maruti is a strong advocate of CNG, a more eco-friendly fuel alternative to diesel and

petrol. In our endeavour to provide a cleaner and greener option to the customer, we are

in the process of equipping an extensive dealer network to assist Maruti owners in fitting

CNG kits.

Rain Water Harvesting

To recharge the aquifer, measures were taken to harvest the rain water through soak

pits, recharging shafts and water lagoons. These measures are capable of charging nearly

50% of the average annual rainfall at Maruti, into the Earth.

MARUTI CULTURE:

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.37

Page 38: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

Our employees are our greatest strength and asset. It is this underlying philosophy that

has molded our workforce into a team with common goals and objectives. Our

Employee-

Management relationship is therefore characterized by:

Participative Management.

Teamwork & Kaizen.

Communication and information sharing.

To implement this philosophy, we have taken several measures like a flat organizational

structure. There are only three levels of responsibilities ranging from the Board Of

Directors, Division Heads to Department Heads. Other visible features of this philosophy

are an open office, common uniforms (at all levels), and a common canteen for all.

This structure ensures better communication and speedy decision-making processes. It

also creates an environment that builds trust, transparency and a sense of belonging

amongst employees.

THE MAJOR PLAYERS IN SMALL CAR SEGMENT

Hyundai Motors India Ltd

Telco

Fiat India Ltd

The battle royal in the India car market has entered the next phase. One old assumption

has been vindicated – that over 80% of the Indian car market is still confined to the small,

sub – Rs 4 lakh models. And that mod-size and digger models can only provide the icing

on the cake, not the cake itself to any manufacturer.

Quite apart from these specific lessons that each man learnt, there were several surprises

that the car market threw up. First world-class technology and quality were considered a

given now. Second, the Indian buyer had begun to expect model and engine upgrades as

frequently as his US or European counterparts. The Indica had to upgrade their engines in

less than one year after launch, the power steering option barely a year after it hit the

market.

And finally, while the manufacturers could continue to refer to it as the ‘Indian small car

segment ’, the buyer characteristics were anything but homogeneous. There were distinct

group with distinct preferences. And the days of one model becoming the undisputed

heavyweight champion were over for good.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.39

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR PLAYERS

Hyundai : Hyundai has become the undisputed number two in the Indian auto market,

and the only one-even rivals admit- with the capability of giving leader Maruti a run for

its money in the total volume stakes though Hyundai in India currently sells just about a

quarter of the numbers that Maruti does.

Hyundai got everything right because it got the value-price–technology equation almost

perfectly right from day one. The Santro was an instant winner from the day it was

introduced in the Indian market because it offered the optimum mix of space and

technology in the small car market, at a highly competitive price.And with easy consumer

financing available in the market, Hyundai did not have to work too hard to persuade

even entry-level car buyers to go for the Santro instead of the Maruti 800.

And when it launched mid-size Accent some time later, Hyundai proved that it could get

its value-price equation consistently right across different segments.

But despite its great start, Hyundai made two mistakes and by Maruti it is also one under

the most pressure because after zooming to the number two spot, it cannot afford to skid

in the race. But Telco’s Indica is snapping at its heels. And Maruti's backlash is

expected to target the Santro more than any other model.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.40

Page 41: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

The two miscalculations that Hyundai made? First, while Hyundai Santro was harping on

the fact that it was a new generation car, it hadn't brought its latest engine technology to

India, it was a mistake that rival Matiz capitalised on once Euro-II pollution norms were

announced for the motors. Daewoo most of the fact that every Matiz was Euro-II

complaint –while Hyundai could offer an Euro-II version only at a higher price. Though the

latter moved quickly in a damage-control exercise, the Santro did lose a bit of its sheen.

But worse for Hyundai, it-miscalculated demand for its cars. The result: when demand

peaked for the Santro, it was in no position to offer the car off-the-shelf like its rivals.

Buyers had to wait for three months to get a Santro after booking it.

Hyundai is moving fast to sort out its capacity problem. Work will soon start on the

second phase of its Sriperumbudur car project, one year ahead of what was initially

planned. An additional investment of $400 million will help expand capacity from 1.2

lakh cars to 2 lakh cars per annum.

That apart, the big worry for Hyundai is that other than the Santro (the Atos in Korea), it

doesn't 'have any other small car in its armoury. Unlike Suzuki which is primarily a small

car specialist, Hyundai can only introduce bigger cars in the Indian market either from its

own product range, or those of Kia Motors, which it took over last year.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.41

Page 42: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

And the car maker is planning to do precisely that. Over the next two years, It plans to

offer the Sonata, priced at around Rs "12 lakh, m the segment above the Astra/Lancer/City

category. 'The Sonata is a niche product. We hope to sell about 250 cars a month," says

Gandhi. Also, Hyundai will be launching a sports utility vehicle (SUV), currently under

development in Korea.

Hyundai is looking a bit vulnerable now because globally it is a minnow in the car

market. St lacks the sheer money power and product muscle to keep fighting the Fords and

Telco in any market. And if Ford does take over Daewoo Motors, Hyundai's number two

position in India could be seriously under threat.

TELCO: THE HOME-GROWN CHALLENGER

When it first announced its plans,' scepticism abounded. With dozens of global carmakers

hitting the Indian market with new products, few people would have given Telco much of a

chance with an indigenously-developed car. Especially since Telco did not boast a great

reputation for developing even world-class commercial vehicles, forget passenger cars.

When the Indica hit the market, the consensus opinion was that Telco had goofed up again.

It had got its car and engine developed abroad - but all that was marred by the production

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.42

Page 43: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

quality of the cars when they rolled out of the Telco plant in Pune. The Indica was riddled

with quality problems. A year down the line, almost everyone grudgingly admits that the

Indica has been a success. The Telco formula of pushing the biggest small car with a

rugged diesel engine has been a major hit in the semi-urban and rural markets.

Rajesv Dube, general manager, commercial (passenger cars), Telco, points out the

company's biggest advantage: low costs, fin other words, Telco can recover the costs of

introducing a new car at a much lower volume of sales than its rivals can. But the flip side

is that all global giants can amortise the costs of development by selling the same car

across different world markets, Telco can't.

At the moment though, the Telco strategy is to tap the niches first. The Indica, with the

diesel engines being pushed hard, was clearly aimed at a segment none of the rivals was

addressing. Similarly, the new car Magna it is planning to launch is again expected to be

a niche car addressing a particular need \n the Rs 12-16 lakh car segment. And in the SUV

market, Telco has already introduced the premium Safari, which again focuses on a

small niche.

It is a smart strategy as it avoids taking any of the big guns head on. But in the long run,

Telco knows it has to take on its rivals in the mainstream markets as well. It is ramping up

capacity to 160,000 from the current 120,000 cars anticipating that it will get the demand.

But Telco is also the weakest player in the small car market - and unless it keeps

springing surprises,it could be the first casualty in this round of the car battles.

FIAT INDIA LTD:

Fiat the Auto Titan was established in 1899 by Giovanni Agnelli. The company first set

its foot on the Indian Turf in the year 1905, with the appointment of Mumbay Motor Cars

Agency as its Sales Agent. The relationship with India was further strengthened when it

signed a licence and servicing contract with Premier Automobiles Limited (PAL), paving

the way for manufacturing and selling of 1100 and 1100D Fiat, Padmini, Uno and the

latest offering being the cars from the project "178 World Car" range which includes

Siena, Siena Weekend and the Palio.

The company’s pivotal interest remains automobiles. It has the most admired and sought

after models worldwide to boast of which includes Fiat Lancia, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa

Romeo etc., Siena being the latest offering to the Indian consumers.

Fiat is the only automobile manufacturer to have won the most coveted "EUROPEAN

CAR OF THE YEAR" award for a record nine times, more than any other car

manufacturer. These awards have not made the group complacent as it strives to achieve

the best in all aspects, which include the people, environment, technology and energy.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum.44

Page 45: Bellad Motors Project

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

This is seen in the company’s endure towards Environmental issues and co-operation

with all environmental organizations.

Fiat has ambitious plans for making India its operational hub and plans to invest one

billion US dollars in the coming years.

Later the company introduced the Uno — Europe’s favourite car for the last two decades

into India. The Fiat 178 World Car Project has been developed specifically to expand

production in overseas markets. This project includes international-class cars like the

Siena sedan, the Siena Weekend station wagon and the Palio hatchback.

Fiat has achieved a high level of localization for all its cars, and is making world-class

cars available in India at even more competitive and affordable prices. Fiat Automobiles

SpA owns the most-admired and sought-after models worldwide, including the Fiat

Lancia, the Ferrari, the Maserati and the Alfa Romeo.

Fiat is the only automobile manufacturer in the world that has won the coveted European

Car of the Year award nine times. It is also the only company in the world that

manufacturers recyclable cars.

In the pipeline are ambitious plans to make India its operational hub in Asia in the future

and invest US $1 billion here in the coming years.

SUGGESTIONS

1. Newspaper advertisements is very effective so enhance news paper

advertisements and provide good service for existing customers which can help to

increase positive word of mouth.

2. Delivery of car should be made at promised time.

3. In service station recruit the well experienced staff which will increase efficiency

and performance of staff and improve the quality of service.

4. Most influential factors are trust, color choosing, extra offers and discounts and

price variations between the dealers. Hence allow cash discounts on cash

payments and provide offers in the form of 1 year free insurance, free accessories,

increased number of free services, and technical support & guidelines.

5. Provide all committed offers at the time of delivery of the car, which can reduce

the cognitive dissonance of the customer.

6. Instead of spending heavily for prospective customers, satisfy the existing

customers which will increase positive word of mouth, and enhance the sales by

their recommendations.

7. To reach the excellent stage of performance it has to overcome from commitment

problem, service station problem, quality spares and accessories and should

recruit the experienced service staff.

CONCLUSION

Winning the hearts and minds of today’s sophisticated vehicle buyers will require

collaboration, commitment and communication on the part of both manufacturers

and dealers.

This study provides an overview of consumers’ automotive buying behaviour—how they

shop, why they buy, what keeps them coming back. The findings make it clear that

automotive manufacturers and dealers must focus on better collaboration, stronger

commitment to developing a long-term relationship with the customer, and increased

communication throughout the vehicle lifecycle if they hope to improve customer loyalty

as well as business performance.
