Executive Summary
Management ideas without any action based on them mean nothing. That is why
practical experience is vital for any management studies. Theoretical studies in
the class room are not sufficient to understand the functioning climate and the
real problems coming in the way of management. So, practical exposures are
indispensable to such courses. Thus, practical experience acts as a supplement
to the classroom studies.
This report deals with Consumer Behavior and Satisfaction
Regarding various brands of 21 flat colour television at jagadhri
Customer satisfaction, a business term , is a measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. In a
competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key
element of business strategy.
The individual consumer has a set of preferences and values whose
determinations are outside the realm of economics. They are no doubt
dependent upon culture, education, and individual tastes, among a plethora of other factors. The measure of these values in this model for a particular good is
in terms of the real opportunity cost to the consumer who purchases and
consumes the good.
In this era of cut throat competition, no company can even survive in the market
place without knowing its and its products strengths and weaknesses. It has to
fortify itself against threats from the environment and exploit its strengths or
increase profits. And in order to do so, the company has to conduct regular
surveys to know the customers opinions, needs, and preferences. This helps the
company to manufacture the product like wise for each customers expectations.

INTRODUCTION OF TV INDUSTRIES
Television in India has been in existence for three decades. For the first 17
years, it spread haltingly and transmission was mainly in black and white. The
thinkers and policy makers of the country, which had just been liberated from
centuries of colonial rule, frowned upon television, looking on at it as a luxuryIndians could do without. In 1955 a Cabinet decision was taken disallowing any
foreign investments in print media, which has since been followed religiously for
nearly 45 years. Sales of TV sets, as reflected by licenses issued to buyers were
just 7,36,615 until 1977.
Television has come to the forefront only in the past 15 years and more so in the
past seven. There have been two ignition points: the first in the eighties when
State-owned broadcaster Doordarshan (DD) introduced color TV during the 1982
Asian Games. It then proceeded to install transmitters nationwide rapidly for
terrestrial broadcasting. In this period no private enterprise was allowed to set up
TV stations or to transmit TV signals.
The second spark came in the early nineties with the broad cast of satellite TV by
foreign programmers like CNN followed by Star TV and a little later by domestic
channels such as Zee TV and Sun TV into Indian homes. Prior to this, Indianviewers had to make do with DD's chosen fare, which was dull, non-commercial
in nature, directed towards only education and socio-economic development.
Entertainment programs were few and far between. And when the solitary few
serials like Hum Log (1984), and mythological dramas: Ramayana ((1987-88)
8/7/2019 irshad 6849611-dissertation-report-of-vikas-sudan
10/73
Mahabharata (1988-89) were televised, millions of viewers stayed glued to their
sets.
When, urban Indians learnt that it was possible to watch the Gulf War on
television, they rushed out and bought dishes for their homes. Others turned
entrepreneurs and started offering the signal to their neighbors by flinging cable
over treetops and verandahs. From the large metros satellite TV delivered via
cable moved into smaller towns, spurring the purchase of TV sets and even the
up gradation from black and white to colour TVs.
DD responded to this satellite TV invasion by launching an entertainment and
commercially driven channel and introduced entertainment programming on itsterrestrial network. This again fuelled the purchase of sets in the hinterlands
where cable TV was not available.
The initial success of the channels had a snowball effect: more foreign
programmers and Indian entrepreneurs flagged off their own versions. From two
channels prior to 1991, Indian viewers were exposed to more than 50 channels
by 1996. Software producers emerged to cater to the programming boom almost
overnight. Some talent came from the film industry, some from advertising and
some from journalism.
More and more people set up networks until there was a time DD responded to
this satellite TV invasion by launching an entertainment and commercial driven
channel and introduced entertainment programming on its terrestrial network.
This again fuelled the purchase of sets in the hinterlands where cable TV was not
available. From two channels prior to 1991, Indian viewers were exposed to more
than 50 channels by 1996.

The 1990's time period:
The production of TV sets plummeted to 4.5 millions units in 1991 due to higher
taxes and devaluation. The revival began in 1993 when import duties whereslashed on TV components and Sales Tax and excise duties were reduced. This
combined with rise in purchasing power in urban and rural areas, strong
replacement demand and market improvement in TV software provided a fillip to
the industry. The exchange offer and replacement schemes were earlier handled
by traders in small way the took on every attractive hue with manufacturers like
AKAI promoting these in you big way. There have been other reasons too. The
proliferation of satellite channels have also acted as an incentive explains K.S.
raman president of CETMA (Consume Electronics and TV Manufacturers
Association), the association of consumer electronic manufacturers: "These
schemes were helped along by the proliferation of satellite channels which made
even a two year only TV out dated as it did not have the S and HY bands to tune
in to all the channels offered by the cable networks. The replacement schemes
were also saved the consumer the trouble of finding a buyer. For his old TV set
for a decent price. This led to you proponent of purchase mainly this all activities
done though dealers. "The demand has improved since then to touch 7.9 millionunits 1996-97. The period saw entry of MNC's which has altered the equations in
one industry.
BPL, VIDEOCON, SONY, SAMSUNG, LG in the industry has dominated
the scene in an oligopoly - the market in this manner is rarely seen in any other
sector of Indian industry. But now whose market seems to be ablaze with
aggressive marketing maneuvers by MNC hoarding, TV, spats, ads, etc.

Customer satisfaction
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 marketplace where
businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key
differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.
Satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure and disappointment resulting from
comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her
expectations. It is only the customer delight that marketer aims for. Increasing
competition (whether for-profit or nonprofit) 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. See Product/Service Management . Also notice the Related
Info (including customer service) in the library.
Measuring customer satisfaction 4
Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while
targeting non-customers; measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication
of how successful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the
marketplace.
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 to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a
number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate with

18/73
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 ServiceBehaviors, 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. 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
organisation being measured.
Customer Satisfaction a Critical Component of Profitability 4
Exceptional customer service results in greater customer retention , which in 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

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is systematically solving the research problem. It may
be understand as science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it
we study the various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in
studying his research problem along with logic behind them.
Hypothesis
H0 = after sale service and consumer behavior are Correlated.H1= after sale service and consumer behavior are not
Correlated.
Research purpose can be divided into four categories:
Exploratory research
Descriptive research
Diagnostic research Hypothesis research
Exploratory research :
It is also termed as formulate research the main purpose of such research is
to gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights.
Descriptive research:This portrays the particular characteristics of a particular individual situation or
a group.
Diagnostic research:
8/7/2019 irshad 6849611-dissertation-report-of-vikas-sudan
28/73
To determine the frequency something occurred or which associated with
something else.
Hypothesis testing research:
To test hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables.
Sampling and Sampling design
Sampling may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate or totality
on the basis of which a judgment or inference about the aggregate or totality is
made. In simple words, it is the process of obtaining information about the
population by examining only a part of it.
The sampling procedure followed is as follows:
1. Identification of the Universe : The universe to be studied is the whole
population of Orient Craft Ltd from where the information has been sought
.
2 . Defining a Sampling unit : Here the sampling unit is the same population of
the company. Various personnel who gave me information regarding their own.
3. Determining the size of the sample : Taking into consideration the size of the population , the population variance , cost involved and the requirements of
efficiency , representative ness , reliability , flexibility , and the parameters of
interest in the research , the sample size selected was 100.
Analytical Tools
After collection of data another work necessary for any data collector is to
correctly analysis that data. So statistical tolls helps us to correctly analysis the
data .As I am here using the software for analysis of the data XLSTAT. I will use
following statistical tools:
8/7/2019 irshad 6849611-dissertation-report-of-vikas-sudan
29/73
Multi Dimension Scaling :
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a method for analyzing a (similarity or
dissimilarity) proximity matrix based on a set of observations. The purpose of
MDS is to model the proximity of observations in order to represent them as
accurately as possible in a limited number of dimensions (usually 2). There are
different MDS algorithms: XLSTAT uses the SMACOF (Scaling by Major zing a
Convex Function) algorithm that minimizes the "normalized stress" function.Furthermore, there are several MDS models (or representation functions), i.e.
several ways to transform the dissimilarities into disparities. The disparities are
the distances that describe the optimal representation for the observations. The
difference between the disparities and the distances measured on the
representation resulting from the MDS is called the stress: the lower the stress,
the better the representation of the observations.
Hypothesis Testing
Chi-square test is used when the set of observed frequencies obtained after
experimentation have to be supported by hypothesis or theory. The test is
known as X 2- test of goodness of fit and is used to test if the deviation between
observation (experiment) and theory may be attributed to chance (fluctuations of
sampling). 2 also enables us to explain whether or not two attributes are
associated or related to each other.
To test the goodness of fit
The null and alternative hypothesis to be tested is as follows:
8/7/2019 irshad 6849611-dissertation-report-of-vikas-sudan
30/73
Null Hypothesis H o : There is no significant difference between the sample
statistic and the population parameter.
Alternative Hypothesis H 1: There is significant difference between the sample
statistic and the population parameter.
Procedure:
(1) Set up the null hypothesis that there is no significant
difference between the observed and expected value.
(2) We compute the value of CHI- square by using the formula
CHI-square = 2= (( O i- E i)2/E i)O- Observed value
E- Expected value
Degree of freedoms=(R-1)(C-1)
Level of significance=5
LIKERT SCALE :
A Likert scale is a type of psychometric response scale often used in
questionnaires, and is the most widely used scale in survey research.
When responding to a Likert questionnaire item, respondents specify their
level of agreement to a statement. The scale is named after Rensis Likert ,
who published a report describing its use.
A important distinction must be made between a Likert Scale and a Likert item .
The Likert Scale is the sum of responses on several Likert items. Because
Likert items are often accompanied by a visual analog scale (e.g., a horizontalline, on which a subject indicates his or her response by circling or checking tick-
marks), the items are sometimes called scales themselves. This is the source of
much confusion; it is better, therefore, to reserve the word 'Likert scale' to apply
to the summated scale, and 'Likert item' to refer to an individual item.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rensis_Likerthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rensis_Likert8/7/2019 irshad 6849611-dissertation-report-of-vikas-sudan
31/73
A Likert item is a statement. The respondent is asked to indicate his or her
degree of agreement with the statement or any kind of subjective or objective
evaluation of the statement. Often ordered five response levels are used,
however many psychometricians advocate using a seven or nine levels. A recent
empirical study showed that data from 5-level, 7-level and 10-level items showed
very similar characteristics in terms of mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis
after a simple transformation was applied. Example of a five-level Likert item:
1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither agree nor disagree
4. Agree5. Strongly agree
Likert scaling is a bipolar scaling method, measuring either positive or negative
response to a statement. Sometimes a four-point scale is used; this is a
forced choice method since the middle option of "Neither agree nor
disagree" is not available. Likert scales may be subject to distortion from
several causes. Respondents may avoid using extreme response
categories ( central tendency bias ); agree with statements as presented(acquiescence bias ); or try to portray themselves or their organization in a
more favorable light ( social desirability bias ).
Area of Study:
To analyze the consumers preference with regard to 21"flat cokour TV, of theresidents of Yamuna Nagar ,sample survey method has been implemented.
Though other methods important, this method is given prime significance in
modern research because of its extensive use to study the relationship of
different factors, attitudes and practices of society and to explore the
problems that cannot be treated by experiment methods.

Data Collection
Data collection is known as the process of taking the views of the different
respondent about the given phenomenon. This is also very difficult to ask as first
of all we have decided that what type of the questions should be included in the
questionnaire so that the respondents are able to give the correct answer to the
researcher. There should not be any linguistic problems in understanding the
meaning of the question in the questionnaire.
Questionnaire:-
Questionnaire is he standard form of he document that is used for the collection
of the data from the respondents. The method includes a set of he questions that
are selected by the panel of the judges and is sent to the respondents for taking
their response. This method is very important the Govt. Project, the Private
company where the company gets the response about their products from the
consumers, So that they can improve the quality of their products by adding or
deleting some of the feature that the required by the consumers.

33/73
LIMITATIONS
The primary limitation was the small size of customer so due to small
samples out of big universe the results may not be completely correct.
Some of the respondent through me as representative of the company,
hence instead of answering my question they put than question to me and
expected me to answer than.
Most of people were at their work they did not have time to give all replies.
Time period was very short.
The chances of personal prejudice and bias are possible at respondent
level.
The people were quite hesitant in inquiring exact data regarding their
income level.
The primary limitation was the limited area of the research so due to small
area out of the country the results may not be completely correct.
The secondary limitation was the small size of customer so due to small
samples out of big universe the results may not be completely correct
The chances of personal prejudice and bias are possible at respondent
level. Also the people were quite hesitant in inquiring exact data regarding
their income level.
Most of people were at their work they did not have time to give all replies.

CONCLUSION
After analysis observed that the main points of consideration buying a CTV are
price and the brand. It is generally the trade off between these two, whichdetermines the purchase.
The entry of foreign companies and the revival by domestic player has provided
the Indian consumer with plethora of opportunities to choose from in addition to
creating clutter. Thus consumers are definitely not brand loyal while purchasing
CTV.
More customers of Indian Market lie in the middle class and hence they prefer
product of competitive price. Consumer generally prefers to buy a brand with
high quality features at less price. The purchase decision of the consumer is
affected by the brand and price of the product.
After sale service, price and quality play in important role in the purchasing
decision of CTV in Yamuna Nagar and promotional schemes like coupon, free
gift, exchange offer, guaranty, play important role in attracting the customer to
purchase new colour Television.
