CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
1.1 Introduction: -
Satisfaction is important to the customer because satisfaction depends upon the
customer's needs and wants. Thus, customer satisfaction is defined as the fulfillment of
needs and wants as per the expectation of customers. Satisfaction is a person's feelings
or disappointments resulting from comparing a product are perceived performance in
relation to his expectation. If the performance falls shots of expectations, the customer
is in dissatisfaction. If the performance matches expectations the customer is satisfied.
If the performance exceeds expectations, the customers become highly satisfied. Now
a day's there is marvellous competition in the market regarding two-wheeler bikes.
There is a decrease in the sales of two-wheelers Honda bikes in Satara city because
customers are not fully satisfied. In search of the performance of Honda two-wheelers’
bikes and customer satisfaction-related aspects, this study is conducted.
A highly satisfied customer generally stays loyal longer, buyers more and more
products or services introduced also speak well about the company by which customer
is very likely to repurchase and even spread good word of mouth about the company.
High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional bond with the brand or company not
just a rational preference. According to Harold E Edmondson "Customer Satisfaction"
seems to appear in print more frequently than any other catchphrase used to describe
new found magic for industrial success. Before we proceed into the study of the
dynamics of Customer Satisfaction it is important to know, who a customer is and what
satisfaction really means. Customers are satisfied when the value meets or exceeds
expectations. If their expectations of value are not met, there is no chance of satisfying
them. Figuring out what the customers want however difficult and complex process is.
To be able to create and deliver customer value is important to understand its
components. On the most basic level, the value from a customer's perspective is the
ratio of benefits to the risks being taken while buying the product.

Organizational Profile of Kanse Honda
2.1 Introduction:
Honda is a Japanese manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, and power equipment.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, it has been the world’s largest motorcycle
manufacturer since 1959, reaching a production of 400 million annually by the end of
2019. Honda is also the world’s largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines,
producing more than 14 million each year. In 2015, Honda was the eighth largest
automobile manufacturer globally.
Honda is a global multinational with shares traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and
the New York Stock Exchange, as well as exchanges in Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo,
Kyoto, Fukuoka, London, Paris, and Switzerland.
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, Private Limited (HMSI) is the wholly owned
Indian subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Limited, Japan. Founded in 1999, it was
the fourth Honda automotive venture in India, after Kinetic Honda Motor Ltd (1984
1998), Hero Honda (1984-2011), and Honda Siel Cars India (1995-2012). HMSI was
established in 1999 at Manesar, District Gurgaon, and Haryana.
Currently, HMSI has four manufacturing locations at Manesar in Haryana, Tapukara in
Rajasthan, Narsapura, Kolar in Karnataka, and Vithalpur, NW of Ahmedabad.
Scooter -exclusive plant in Gujarat. Its facility in Narsapura is the largest amongst its
four locations and has a capacity of 6,600 vehicles per day, Honda India sales
skyrocketed up to 4.28 million motorcycles and scooters backed by scooterization of
India via bestselling scooter Activa over 350,000 scooter sales in September 2017.
Honda scooter Activa sales record expected 3.5million scooters in 2017/18. Honda
motorcycle & scooter started independent operation since 2010s after separation from
Hero Honda motors J/V since 1984, 6 million production capacity establishment within
7 year’s record in India, Top world motorcycle market.
2.2 Historical Background:
Honda is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Japan and has been since it started
production in 1955. At its peak in 1982, Honda manufactured almost three million
motorcycles annually.
By 2006 this figure had reduced to around 550,000 but was still higher than its three
domestic competitors.
In 2017, India became the largest motorcycle market of Honda. In India, Honda is
leading in the scooters segment, with 59 percent market share.
During the 1960s, when it was a small manufacturer, Honda broke out of the Japanese
motorcycle market and began exporting to the US. Working with the advertising agency
Grey Advertising. Honda created an innovative marketing campaign, using the slogan
"You meet the nicest people on a Honda in contrast to the prevailing negative
stereotypes of motorcyclists in America as tough, antisocial rebels, this campaign
15. K.B.P.I.M.S.R., SATARA M.B.A. PROJECT
SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR 6
suggested that Honda motorcycles were made for the everyman The campaign was
hugely successful, the ads ran for three years, and by the end of 1963 alone, Honda had
sold 90,000 motorcycles:
Taking Honda's story as an archetype of the smaller manufacturer entering a new
market already occupied by highly dominant competitors, the story of their market
entry, and their subsequent huge success in the U.S. and around the world, has been the
subject of some academic controversy. Competing explanations have been advanced to
explain Honda's strategy and the reasons for their success. The first of these
explanations was put forward when, in 1975, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) was
commissioned by the UK government to write a report explaining why and how the
British motorcycle industry had been out-competed by its Japanese competitors
The report concluded that the Japanese firms, including Honda, had sought a very high
scale of production (they had made a large number of motorbikes) in order to benefit
from economies of scale and learning curve effects
It blamed the decline of the British motorcycle industry on the failure of British
managers to invest enough in their businesses to profit from economies of scale and
scope

CHAPTER 3
A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK - CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
3.1. Introduction:
Customer satisfaction means meeting and exceeding the expectation your customers
have about the experience they are going to receive when visiting your business. The
level of satisfaction achieved depends on the extent to which expectations are fulfilled
your customer's expectations come from a Varity of sources, and can vary dramatically
from one customer to the next. Customer's expectations are created by your marketing
messages and material what they have heard about your business from friends and
relatives the price they are going to pay for the experience their own experience with
similar types of businesses, both in nova Scotia and elsewhere their previous experience
with your business their own personal opinions, age, income level, etc. Customer
satisfaction is a continuous process which does not begin or end with purchase. It covers
the entire ownership experience from selecting product to purchase through aftercare
to repeal purchase whatever the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offer’s
performance in relation to the buyer's expectation
3.2. The Definition of customer satisfaction:
The degree to which their match the customer's expectations of the product and the
actual performance of the product. Satisfaction is a person's feeling of pleasure of
disappointment result from comparing a product’s perceived performance (outcome to
their expectation. If the performance falls short of expectation, the customer is
dissatisfied. If the performance matches expectation, the customer is satisfied. It is very
important to any organization to measure the customer Satisfaction and share penning
its factors. A company would be wise to measure customer satisfaction regularly
because are key to customer retention is customer satisfaction. A highly satisfied
customer generally stays loyal longer, buyers more and more products or services
introduced also speaks well about the company by which customer is very likely to
repurchase and even spread good words of mouth about the company. High satisfaction
or delight creates an emotional bond with brand or company not just a rational
preference.
According to Harold E Edmondson "Customer Satisfaction" seems to appear in print
more frequently than any other catch phrases used to describe a new found magic for
industrial success. Before we proceed in to the study of the dynamics of Customer
Satisfaction it is important to know about, who a customer is and what satisfaction
really means,
Customers are satisfied, when value meets or exceeds expectations. If their expectations
of value are not met, there is no chance of satisfied them. Figuring out what the
customers want however difficult and complex process is. To be able to create and
deliver customer value is important to understand its components. On the most basic
level, value from a customer's perspective is the ratio of benefits to the risks being taken
while buying the product.
23. K.B.P.I.M.S.R., SATARA M.B.A. PROJECT
SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR 13
Key factors to enhance customer satisfaction:-
Resect the customers
Make Two way communication
Gentle response to customers
Customer service policy
Know the customers’ expectations
Keep your promises
Never forget your customers
Clear to your customers
Unique product offering
Be clear to your customers about
What you offer?
How do you provide?
Quality of offered service .
Duration of the offer.
How much going to charge?
Who really is a customer?
The question of defining who your customers are seems fairly easy particularly if you
have segmented your market properly and understand who you are trying to satisfy.
However, subtlety that frequency goes undetected by many firms that is that customer
set can be divided into two parts, the apparent customer and users. The apparent
customer is the person or group of people who decide what product to buy and basically
have control over the purse strings. The user is a person or group who physically uses
the product or is the direct recipient of service.
What does satisfaction really mean?
As in defining customer above, defining satisfaction also appears simple However as
with customer there is a subtlety that needs addressing Satisfaction by most definitions
simply means the customer's requirement. Customer satisfaction is concept that more
and more companies are putting at the heart of their strategy, but for this to be successful
they're needs to be clarity about what customer satisfaction means and what needs to
happen to drive improvement. Without this, there is a risk that customer satisfaction
becomes little more than good intention. With confused objectives failing to address
the real issues for customer, one helpful way to look at the problem to rephrase the
objectives set the sights on helping the customers meet their goals.
Customer satisfaction can be defined in many different ways. Finding the right way
fora company depends on understanding your customer and on having a clear vision of
the role that customer satisfaction is to play in the strategy for example, a focus on
customer satisfaction can work alongside existing segmentations to support revenue
generation from high value customers or it can be a company-wide objective rooted in
the brand values. For the former, it may be sufficient to focus on improving camera
24. K.B.P.I.M.S.R., SATARA M.B.A. PROJECT
SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR 14
service, but for the letter a broader definition of customer satisfaction is necessary
Closer akin to corporate reputation whatever the strategy for customer satisfaction, it
must at least include getting the basic right. Fatling to achieve this can destroy the
reputation as well as losing valuable customers. Every customer, regardless of their
economic worth to the business. Once the objectives for the customer satisfaction
strategy are defined there are a number of steps, we can take to make sure the focus on
customer satisfaction is effective.
3.3. Measuring Techniques:
A number of methods exist to measure customer satisfaction periodic surveys can trace
customer satisfaction directly and also ask additional question to measure repurchase
intention and the responded likelihood willingness to recommend the brand to other. A
customer satisfaction is depending on customer value, service quality and product
quality.
3.3.1. Customer perceived Value:
Value is compared with the best price the customer has experience with or knowledge
of if prices are higher, negatives must be offset by strong positive features or benefits
value is calculated after sale when product service continues to serve customer well
over time.
The only value your company will creates in the value comes from customers the ones
you will have in the future Customer based on the difference between what customer
get and what he or she gives for different possible choices
3.3.2. Product and Service Quality:
a) Product Quality:
Compared with the best available or the best the customer is familiar with error free
defect free Supplier personnel are subject matter experts and have general systems
knowledge. Customer satisfaction will also depend on product and service quality. The
seller has delivered quality whenever its product or services meets or exceeds the
customer expectation. A company that satisfied most of its customer needs most have
time its called quality. Higher levels of quality result in higher level of customer
satisfaction. This supported higher prices and lower cost. b) Service Quality:
Service organization must meet three key customers to deliver the service excellence
security esteem and justice. Service quality factors those are important for customer
including time lines and convenience personal attention, empathy responsiveness,
assurance availability and tangible such as physical facility and equipment.
3.3.3. Customer Complaint:
Some company thing they are getting sense of customer satisfaction by tallying
customer complaints. But 95% of dissatisfied customers don't complaint just stop
buying. The best thing a company can do is to make it essay for the customer to
complain suggestion.

3.4. Building a company around Customer Satisfaction:
Who the increase in customers' demands and competition it has become a lot more
important base the entire company on customer service. When doing this one must first
realize that every member of an organization plays an active role in customer service.
This includes both external customers and internal customers within a company.
Customer focused organizations focus both on customer satisfaction and profit.
Achieving customer satisfaction generates the profit. In these organizations top
management has frequent contacts with external customers. The top management uses.
Consultative, participative, and supportive management styles to get through to the
customer. The staff focuses all of its attention on satisfying the customer's needs.
However, the management's job is to provide the staff with support necessary to achieve
these goals. The other department and staff in the organization that do not have direct
contact with the external customers deal exclusively with internal customer satisfaction.
3.5. The Influence of the Salesperson in Customer Satisfaction:
In an article titled, "The influence of salesperson selling behaviour on customer
satisfaction with products," Brent Goff and James Sables examine the effects of non-
product related construct on customer satisfaction with major retail purchases such as
automobiles. The article states that salesperson's selling orientation-customer
orientation (SOCO) will affect not only consumer satisfaction with the salesperson and
dealer, but also indirectly, satisfaction with the product or manufacturer. In the
perspectives of both the retailer and the manufacturer customer satisfaction represents
an important issue because it relates to several desirable outcomes.
Customer satisfaction leads to future purchases, and repeated purchases of the same
product from the same source. In other words, it helps a firm retain its present customers
and build loyalty. By helping a buyer obtain Product information and providing
guidelines about what should be expected during the buying process and use of a
product, a salesperson tailors to the needs of each individual customer. By being
customer-oriented, a salesperson is likely to identify with needs of the customer,
enabling the salesperson to match his or her presentation to those requirements of the
customer.
3.6. Internal Marketing-How it affects Customer Satisfaction:
Successful companies make every effort to ensure satisfaction to their customer by
focusing organizational efforts of the company on providing superior customer service.
By doing this these companies hope to retain their existing customers and attract new
ones
Only angle of customer satisfaction commonly overlooked is the internal aspect. The
internal customer or employee plays a vital role in achieving customer satisfaction and
loyalty. Some firms do not understand that the treatment of internal customers becomes
the external customer's perception of the company. A firm's employees or other
departments within the organization make up its internal customers. Their job
performance affects the firm's ability to deliver superior product and customer service
26. K.B.P.I.M.S.R., SATARA M.B.A. PROJECT
SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR 16
(Boone and Kurtz, 1999). When a firm's employees are happy at work, their overall
attitude and performance towards the customer enhances tremendously. Internal
marketing helps members or employees of an organization understand and fulfil their
roles in implementing is marketing strategy. Internal marketing not only keeps
employees happy; it also shows them how their actions affect the firm's ability to
achieve customer satisfaction.
3.7. Factors Influencing Customer Satisfaction:
Product quality
3.8. Customer Satisfaction as part of Service Profit Chain:

growth and increase profitability. The article describes the ways in which service

3.8. Need for measuring customer satisfaction:
"Customers are too good to lose--Let's keep them happy!"
"Customer is the king"
"Marketing starts with the customer and ends the customer-Peter Ducker
So, no organization, small or big ignores the customers
"Earth is not the Center of universe but revolves around the Sun" - Copernicus
Similarly, we have come to believe that business firm is not the Center of economic
universe but revolves around the customer.
"Build customer and not only products".
Building customers is not a single step exercise but a process
3.9. Important of Customer Satisfaction:
1. You can and must quantify the expected payback from service and/or quality
improvements.
2. It costs between five and six times more to attract a new customer than to keep an
existing one so existing customer must be kept satisfied.
3. Customer problems can cost you not only an immediate lost sale, but also future
purchases by that customer and by other customers as a result of negative word of
mouth behaviour.
4. Organization can boost profits anywhere from an increase of 5% in customer
retention which would leads to increase profit by 25% to 95%.
5. Only one out of 25 dissatisfied customers will express dissatisfaction hence it is
necessary to measure customer satisfaction.
6. Happy customers tell 4 to 5 others of their positive experience; dissatisfied customer
tells 9 to 12 how bad it was.
