ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
A project is never the sole product of a person whose name has appeared on the cover.
Even the best effort may not prove successful without proper guidance. For a good
project one needs proper time, energy, efforts, patience, and knowledge. But without any
guidance it remains unsuccessful. I have done this project with the best of my ability and
hope that it will serve its purpose.
First of all I wish to express my indebtness to Mr. Alok Sharma (Sales Officer) for his
valuable suggestions and guidance throughout the project.
It was really a great learning experience and I am really thankful to
__________________ who not only helped me in the successful completion of this
report but also spread his precious and valuable time in expanding my knowledge base.
After the completion of this Project I feel myself as a well aware person about the
Research Procedure and the complexities that can arose during the process. Also I get
an insight of the advertising industry and its effectiveness in promoting sales. Finally, I am
also grateful to all those personalities who have helped me directly or indirectly in bringing
up this project report.

PREFACE
As a student of MBA (MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION) one of
the most reputed professional courses, I have to undergo for the summer internship in the
end of the first year. The attractive feature of the MBA DEGREE is that along with theory
we also get to have the exposure of the practical environment.
The topic for my summer project is:-
“A Study on the Change in Buying Behavior & Customer
Perception towards Vodafone vs Airtel”
The Project Report revolves around the changes occurred in buying behaviour of
tiles companies and their effectiveness in getting change in consumer perception about
the brand. The objectives are predefined and the task is to accomplish them.
The study was confined geographically to selected areas of Delhi. The potential
respondents are the home base consumers and the industrial consumers, who have
commercial use for the product. The whole process during the report is well planned, the
primary data collection is done from the respondents.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
"Telecommunications is the backbone of our future economy. International
competitiveness increasingly depends on the development of a
telecommunications infrastructure that is compatible with international standards"
The cellular industry all over the world has been witnessing very high growth rates in
subscriber base in recent years. For developing countries in particular, cellular services
are becoming a very significant proportion of the overall telecom infrastructure. The
mechanics of competition within this market involve complex feedback effects between
individual service providers and with their operating environment, and these forces play
an important role in governing the growth of this industry.
In a country like India which is not yet telephone-saturated and the ongoing changes in
related areas are resulting in a rapidly changing profile of users, providers and their
respective needs, continuous revision of the telecom policy is imperative. Given the
999999999999
emerging new technologies and the integrating economies there must be fairness among
competitors.
The tele-density in India is about four per hundred people in respect of the fixed
telephones and a little less than one in respect of the mobile telephony. The low densities
are not because there is no need for a telephone but because of its high cost that many
cannot afford that one. The situation here is nothing but holding true of the “law of
demand”. Isn’t it?
The cost for the companies can come down if the revenue share imposed on them as a
condition of license is abolished or drastically reduced. Today every telephone company
is bound to pay a share out of its revenue to the exchequer. These costs are, however,
not to be scheduled to take a step further in the development of the telecom. In addition
when we go through the telephone bill there is a 5 to 8% service charge. This amount
also does not go for the telecom development. If these external cost are removed there
can be seen a spurt in demand of not less then 40% as expected.
While taking the side of suppliers a lot of new companies are coming into the battlefield
resulting in reduction of prices and hence a little less burdensome on to the customer.
The cost of interconnection with the incumbent is proving to be contributory to the high
cost of services provided by the competitors.
The delay in the interconnection disregards the quality of service and high cost will
detract from affordability. This is an area in which no consumer body can knowledgeably
contribute unless it has the assistant of experts or economists who alone can discover all
the relevant fact of all the contesting companies. It indicates the pre-eminent domain of
TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India).
As the driven down of the prices for long distance including international services reduces
the amount available for subsidizing the local service, the rental for local services are
being increased. Considering that about 90% of the long distance calls are made by less
than 20% of customers, 80% of customers are having to pay higher rental this depresses
101010101010101010101010
the demand for telephones and affordability. The urban business subscribers will be
bearing the bond of the subsidies to be given to the rural private consumers.
1.1 History of Cellular Telephony in India:
The technology that gives a person the power to communicate anytime, anywhere - has
spawned an entire industry in mobile telecommunication. Mobile telephones have
become an integral part of the growth, success and efficiency of any business / economy.
The most prevalent wireless standard in the world today, is GSM. The GSM Association
(Global System for Mobile Communications) was instituted in 1987 to promote and
expedite the adoption, development and deployment and evolution of the GSM standard
for digital wireless communications.
The GSM Association was formed as a result of a European Community agreement on
the need to adopt common standards suitable for cross border European mobile
communications. Starting off primarily as a European standard, the Groupe Speciale
Mobile as it was then called, soon came to represent the Global System for Mobile
Communications as it achieved the status of a world-wide standard. GSM is today, the
world's leading digital standard accounting for 68.5% of the global digital wireless market.
The Indian Government when considering the introduction of cellular services into the
country, made a landmark decision to introduce the GSM standard, leapfrogging
obsolescent technologies / standards. Although cellular licenses were made technology
neutral in September 1999, all the private operators are presently offering only GSM
based mobile services. The new licensees for the 4th cellular licenses that were awarded
in July 2001 too, have opted for GSM technology to offer their mobile services.
1.2 Cellular Industry in India
The Government of India recognizes that the provision of a world-class
telecommunications infrastructure and information is the key to rapid economic and social
development of the country. It is critical not only for the development of the Information
Technology industry, but also has widespread ramifications on the entire economy of the
country. It is also anticipated that going forward, a major part of the GDP of the country
would be contributed by this sector. Accordingly, it is of vital importance to the country that
111111111111111111111111
there be a comprehensive and forward looking telecommunications policy which creates
an enabling framework for development of this industry.
1.3 Cellular Market Structure in India
As in other countries, in India, the Cellular Mobile Service Providers (CMSPs) are
licensed to operate in designated geographical operating areas. The service areas
include four metro areas and 18 circles categorized as A, B and C. (The categorization is
based on the revenue Proceedings of the 36th Hawaii International Conference on
System Sciences).
The potential with category C circles in the lower end of the scale. For example the
metros account for 40% of the subscriber population, with Category-A, B and C
accounting for 33%, 23% and 4% respectively. The CMSPs had to pay an entry fee and
subsequently annual license fee as a percentage of their revenue to the Department of
Telecommunications.
The entry and license fees varied according to the service area, highest for metros and
lowest for Category-C circles. Some of the CMSPs could not fulfill their licensing
obligations and their licenses were revoked leading to a monopoly situation in certain
areas. Apart from these charges, each CMSP has to share the revenue with the long
distance operators for carrying inter-service area calls.
In profitable metros and circles, the competition is severe and the market is split between
the two operators. In a price-cap regulated market, the operators use appropriate pricing
strategy to win customers and win market share.
In highly price-elastic markets, such as in India, as the service provider reduces the price,
the subscriber base increases considerably, and so is the network traffic. The increased
network traffic decreases the performance and the quality of service, inviting customers to
switch. Being a new entrant in a metro area, the government operator reduced the airtime
charges to such an extent that the subscriber base increased suddenly leading to poor
network performance. The operator did not have enough network capacity to handle calls
121212121212121212121212
leading to blocking of calls, with frustrated customers switching over immediately to
competitors.
The operators also have to resort to non-pricing competition strategies to win customers.
In India, CMSPs offer a variety of service plans as a means to attract new customers.
Different service plans include: pre-paid calling card schemes, discounted airtime rates
for evening and night time calls, discounted roaming charges, no or minimum activation
fees, and reduced mobile to mobile long distance call rates.
The service providers incur additional advertising and infrastructure cost for implementing
these plans. Short Message Service (SMS) and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
service are fast catching up. For example, in India, about 500,000 SMS messages are
being carried by a service provider in one metro area alone. When the sector moves over
to an oligopoly market, the operators have to provide improved quality of service and
value added services in order to survive and gain market share.
Larger operators who have experience and infrastructure may be able to provide a higher
quality of service and other value-added service at a lower price. They also have access
to larger project financing for enlarging their networks and services. For example, a single
large operator now has license to operate in 14 service areas in the country with the
largest footprint to cover most of the areas of the country. Mergers and acquisitions are
commonplace as the operators are consolidating their revenues to survive in the market
places.
Cellular subscribers and those with a propensity to go mobile in Delhi have never had it
so good. They now have four service providers to choose from, each offering an array of
both pre- and post-paid schemes. More importantly, average tariffs across plans have, by
some reckoning, dropped by at least 50 per cent in the last six months. The entry of
Vodafone saw a further drop in tariffs and the operators have come out with new
schemes to retain their subscribers and attract fresh ones.
What does this mean for subscribers and for the cellular industry in Delhi? All the four
operators Essar Mobile Services Ltd., Bharti Celluar Ltd, MTNL and Idea Cellular services
are convinced that the market will only expand and the subscribers will benefit even
more. Their reasoning is that cellular penetration in Delhi, which traditionally occupies the
131313131313131313131313
third position in other areas, is less than fifty per cent. Therefore, entry of new players will
only increase awareness about the facility, the companies say.
Moreover, the state-owned MTNL has also been playing with its cellular service for quite
some time. that, with the imminent launch of limited mobility using CDMA (code division
multiple access) technology by companies like Tata Tele Services will only add to the
subscriber base, probably result in further reduction of tariffs, and an even greater
widening of the cellular market, according to officials in four cellular companies now
servicing Delhi.
However, the companies also sound a note of caution — any further drop in tariffs will be
harmful to the companies, points out one of the officials taking care of the — Sales &
Marketing division of the, Essar Mobile Services Ltd, average tariffs in Delhi across
different plans have fallen by 30 per cent since December with launching of the CDMA
services.
Besides the fall in tariffs, what has really happened with the entry of CDMA is a
heightened awareness in the market. Mobile penetration in Delhi and its suburbs is
estimated to be less than twenty-five percent of the population and the cellular operators
believe that this number should definitely go up.
It is here that Vodafone decided to target the customers with what it believes are unique
products and features. Its emphasis has been on value proposition and brand building.
Mobility is not only about carrying voice, as per the reports from the marketing
department and adds that the unified messaging system for the post-paid customers of
(now Vodafone) is one such unique product.
Accordingly, Vodafone signed in its subscribers in lakhs from the year onwards it has
been launched in Delhi. Industry analysts say that a majority of them will be pre-paid
customers, whose loyalty to a particular brand is always in doubt. However, pre-paid for
the cellular is nothing but the engine for growth and there is always a possibility that most
of them will shift to post-paid once they are convinced of the quality of service provided.
On the other hand the entry of a new operator lends more visibility to the service and
there is also increased trade activity — that is the number of dealers will increase and
more people will be on the road trying to sell the service and product. There is also
141414141414141414141414
greater consumer awareness of what cellular service can deliver and expectations go up
in terms of pricing or service standards or network availability.
1.4 The Churn in the Cellular Industry:
As like the other products Cellular industry has not been left untouched from the Churn
(switching over). During the survey this fact comes to the fore. According to the cellular
operators, there is a normal seven to eight percent churn in the customers, especially in
the pre-paid category. Among the post-paid customers, the Churn is much lower about
two-three percent.
They say that one significant change that has happened in the last few months, more so
since lowering of the tariffs, is that the bias in favour of incoming calls as far as call
charges are concerned — incoming calls has been set free while they are charging
reasonably only for the outgoing ones — has changed. A tariff re-balancing has definitely
taken place.
This means that the cellular operators are encouraging their subscribers to not just
receive calls, but also make calls — increasing the usage of the service. With falling
tariffs, cellular operators are convinced that increasing usage is one way to ensure that
average revenue per user (ARPU) does not fall very low. The industry figure for ARPU is
believed to be about Rs.1,100 while it may vary from operator to operator. The operators
are also concentrating on introducing more value added services to the customers. Value-
added services have not really taken off. Only the SMS (short messaging service) has
really caught on, but operators like Bharti are bringing in services like music messaging
and concierge facility for its subscribers.

171717171717171717171717
CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR
2. Consumer Buying Behaviour
Buying Behavior is the decision processes and acts of people involved in buying and
using products.
Need to understand:
 Why consumers make the purchases that they make?
 What factors influence consumer purchases?
 The changing factors in our society.
Consumer Buying Behavior refers to the buying behavior of the ultimate consumer. A firm
needs to analyze buying behavior for:
 Buyers reactions to a firms marketing strategy has a great impact on the firms
success.
 The marketing concept stresses that a firm should create a Marketing Mix (MM)
that satisfies (gives utility to) customers, therefore need to analyze the what,
where, when and how consumers buy.
 Marketers can better predict how consumers will respond to marketing strategies.
2.1 STAGES OF THE CONSUMER BUYING PROCESS
Six Stages to the Consumer Buying Decision Process (For complex decisions). Actual
purchasing is only one stage of the process. Not all decision processes lead to a
purchase. All consumer decisions do not always include all 6 stages, determined by the
degree of complexity...discussed next.
THE 6 STAGES ARE:
1. Problem Recognition (awareness of need)--difference between the desired state
and the actual condition. Deficit in assortment of products. Hunger--Food. Hunger
stimulates your need to eat.
Can be stimulated by the marketer through product information--did not know you
were deficient? I.E., see a commercial for a new pair of shoes, stimulates your
recognition that you need a new pair of shoes.
2. Information search--
181818181818181818181818
o Internal search, memory.
o External search if you need more information. Friends and relatives (word of
mouth). Marketer dominated sources; comparison shopping; public sources
etc.
A successful information search leaves a buyer with possible alternatives, the
evoked set.
Hungry, want to go out and eat, evoked set is
o chinese food
o indian food
o burger king
o klondike kates etc
3. Evaluation of Alternatives--need to establish criteria for evaluation, features the
buyer wants or does not want. Rank/weight alternatives or resume search. May
decide that you want to eat something spicy, Indian gets highest rank etc.
If not satisfied with your choice then return to the search phase. Can you think of
another restaurant? Look in the yellow pages etc. Information from different
sources may be treated differently. Marketers try to influence by "framing"
alternatives.
4. Purchase decision--Choose buying alternative, includes product, package, store,
method of purchase etc.
5. Purchase--May differ from decision, time lapse between 4 & 5, product availability.
6. Post-Purchase Evaluation--outcome: Satisfaction or Dissatisfaction.
Cognitive Dissonance, have you made the right decision. This can be reduced by
warranties, after sales communication etc.
After eating an Indian meal, may think that really you wanted a Chinese meal instead.
2.2 TYPES OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR
Types of consumer buying behavior are determined by:
191919191919191919191919
 Level of Involvement in purchase decision. Importance and intensity of interest in a
product in a particular situation.
 Buyers level of involvement determines why he/she is motivated to seek
information about a certain products and brands but virtually ignores others.
High involvement purchases--Honda Motorbike, high priced goods, products visible to
others, and the higher the risk the higher the involvement. Types of risk:
 Personal risk
 Social risk
 Economic risk
The four type of consumer buying behavior are:
 Routine Response/Programmed Behavior--buying low involvement frequently
purchased low cost items; need very little search and decision effort; purchased
almost automatically. Examples include soft drinks, snack foods, milk etc.
 Limited Decision Making--buying product occasionally. When you need to obtain
information about unfamiliar brand in a familiar product category, perhaps.
Requires a moderate amount of time for information gathering. Examples include
Clothes--know product class but not the brand.
 Extensive Decision Making/Complex high involvement, unfamiliar, expensive
and/or infrequently bought products. High degree of
economic/performance/psychological risk. Examples include cars, homes,
computers, education. Spend alot of time seeking information and deciding.
Information from the companies MM; friends and relatives, store personnel etc. Go
through all six stages of the buying process.
 Impulse buying, no conscious planning.
The purchase of the same product does not always elicit the same Buying Behavior.
Product can shift from one category to the next.
For example:
Going out for dinner for one person may be extensive decision making (for someone that
does not go out often at all), but limited decision making for someone else. The reason for
the dinner, whether it is an anniversary celebration, or a meal with a couple of friends will
also determine the extent of the decision making.
202020202020202020202020
2.3 CATEGORIES THAT EFFECT THE CONSUMER BUYING DECISION PROCESS
A consumer, making a purchase decision will be affected by the following three factors:
1. Personal
2. Psychological
3. Social
The marketer must be aware of these factors in order to develop an appropriate MM for
its target market.
Personal
Unique to a particular person. Demographic Factors. Sex, Race, Age etc.
Who in the family is responsible for the decision making?
Young people purchase things for different reasons than older people.
Highlights the differences between male and female shoppers in the supermarket.
Psychological factors
Psychological factors include:
 Motives--
A motive is an internal energizing force that orients a person's activities toward
satisfying a need or achieving a goal.
Actions are effected by a set of motives, not just one. If marketers can identify
motives then they can better develop a marketing mix.
MASLOW hierarchy of needs!!
o Physiological
o Safety
o Love and Belonging
o Esteem
o Self Actualization
212121212121212121212121
Need to determine what level of the hierarchy the consumers are at to determine
what motivates their purchases.
Nutrament, a product marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb originally was targeted at
consumers that needed to receive additional energy from their drinks after exercise
etc., a fitness drink. It was therefore targeted at consumers whose needs were for
either love and Belonging or esteem. The product was not selling well, and was
almost terminated. Upon extensive research it was determined that the product did
sell well in inner-city convenience stores. It was determined that the consumers for
the product were actually drug addicts who couldn't not digest a regular meal. They
would purchase Nutrament as a substitute for a meal. Their motivation to purchase
was completely different to the motivation that B-MS had originally thought. These
consumers were at the Physiological level of the hierarchy. BM-S therefore had to
redesign its MM to better meet the needs of this target market.
Motives often operate at a subconscious level therefore are difficult to measure.
Perception--
What do you see?? Perception is the process of selecting, organizing and
interpreting information inputs to produce meaning. IE we chose what info we pay
attention to, organize it and interpret it.
Information inputs are the sensations received through sight, taste, hearing, smell
and touch.
Selective Exposure-select inputs to be exposed to our awareness. More likely if it
is linked to an event, satisfies current needs, intensity of input changes (sharp
price drop).
Selective Distortion-Changing/twisting current received information, inconsistent
with beliefs.
Advertisers that use comparative advertisements (pitching one product against
another), have to be very careful that consumers do not distort the facts and
perceive that the advertisement was for the competitor. A current example...MCI
and AT&T...do you ever get confused?
Selective Retention-Remember inputs that support beliefs, forgets those that don't.
Average supermarket shopper is exposed to 17,000 products in a shopping visit
lasting 30 minutes-60% of purchases are unplanned. Exposed to 1,500
advertisement per day. Can't be expected to be aware of all these inputs, and
certainly will not retain many.
222222222222222222222222
Interpreting information is based on what is already familiar, on knowledge that is
stored in the memory.
Problems marketing wine from South Africa. Consumers have strong perceptions
of the country, and hence its products.
 Ability and Knowledge--
Need to understand individuals capacity to learn. Learning, changes in a person's
behavior caused by information and experience. Therefore to change consumers'
behavior about your product, need to give them new information re: product...free
sample etc.
South Africa...open bottle of wine and pour it!! Also educate american consumers
about changes in SA. Need to sell a whole new country.
When making buying decisions, buyers must process information.
Knowledge is the familiarity with the product and expertise.
Inexperience buyers often use prices as an indicator of quality more than those
who have knowledge of a product.
Non-alcoholic Beer example: consumers chose the most expensive six-pack,
because they assume that the greater price indicates greater quality.
Learning is the process through which a relatively permanent change in behavior
results from the consequences of past behavior.
 Attitudes--
Knowledge and positive and negative feelings about an object or activity-maybe
tangible or intangible, living or non- living.....Drive perceptions
Individual learns attitudes through experience and interaction with other people.
Consumer attitudes toward a firm and its products greatly influence the success or
failure of the firm's marketing strategy.
Honda "You meet the nicest people on a Honda", dispel the unsavory image of a
motorbike rider, late 1950s. Changing market of the 1990s, baby boomers aging,
Hondas market returning to hard core. To change this they have a new slogan
"Come ride with us".
Attitudes and attitude change are influenced by consumers personality and
lifestyle.
232323232323232323232323
Consumers screen information that conflicts with their attitudes. Distort information
to make it consistent and selectively retain information that reinforces our attitudes.
IE brand loyalty.
There is a difference between attitude and intention to buy (ability to buy).
 Personality--
All the internal traits and behaviors that make a person unique, uniqueness arrives
from a person's heredity and personal experience. Examples include:
o Workaholism
o Compulsiveness
o Self confidence
o Friendliness
o Adaptability
o Ambitiousness
o Dogmatism
o Authoritarianism
o Introversion
o Extroversion
o Aggressiveness
o Competitiveness.
Traits effect the way people behave. Marketers try to match the store image to the
perceived image of their customers.
There is a weak association between personality and Buying Behavior, this may be
due to unreliable measures. Nike ads. Consumers buy products that are consistent
with their self concept.
Lifestyles--
Recent US trends in lifestyles are a shift towards personal independence and
individualism and a preference for a healthy, natural lifestyle.
Lifestyles are the consistent patterns people follow in their lives.
242424242424242424242424
EXAMPLE healthy foods for a healthy lifestyle. Sun tan not considered fashionable
in US until 1920's. Now an assault by the American Academy of Dermatology.
Social Factors
Consumer wants, learning, motives etc. are influenced by opinion leaders, person's
family, reference groups, social class and culture.
 Opinion leaders--
Spokespeople etc. Marketers try to attract opinion leaders...they actually use (pay)
spokespeople to market their products. Michael Jordon (Nike, McDonalds,
Gatorade etc.)
Can be risky...Michael Jackson...OJ Simpson...Chevy Chase
 Roles and Family Influences--
Role...things you should do based on the expectations of you from your position
within a group.
People have many roles.
Husband, father, employer/ee. Individuals role are continuing to change therefore
marketers must continue to update information.
Family is the most basic group a person belongs to. Marketers must understand:
o that many family decisions are made by the family unit
o consumer behavior starts in the family unit
o family roles and preferences are the model for children's future family (can
reject/alter/etc)
o family buying decisions are a mixture of family interactions and individual
decision making
o family acts an interpreter of social and cultural values for the individual.
The Family life cycle: families go through stages, each stage creates different
consumer demands:
o bachelor stage...most
o newly married, young, no children...me
o full nest I, youngest child under 6
o full nest II, youngest child 6 or over
252525252525252525252525
o full nest III, older married couples with dependent children
o empty nest I, older married couples with no children living with them, head
in labor force
o empty nest II, older married couples, no children living at home, head retired
o solitary survivor, in labor force
o solitary survivor, retired
o Modernized life cycle includes divorced and no children.
Because 2 income families are becoming more common, the decision maker within
the family unit is changing...also, family has less time for children, and therefore
tends to let them influence purchase decisions in order to alleviate some of the
guilt. (Children influence about $130 billion of goods in a year) Children also have
more money to spend themselves.
Reference Groups--
Individual identifies with the group to the extent that he takes on many of the
values, attitudes or behaviors of the group members.
Families, friends, sororities, civic and professional organizations.
Any group that has a positive or negative influence on a persons attitude and
behavior.
Membership groups (belong to)
Affinity marketing is focused on the desires of consumers that belong to reference
groups. Marketers get the groups to approve the product and communicate that
approval to its members. Credit Cards etc.!!
Aspiration groups (want to belong to)
Disassociate groups (do not want to belong to)
Honda, tries to disassociate from the "biker" group.
The degree to which a reference group will affect a purchase decision depends on
an individuals susceptibility to reference group influence and the strength of his/her
involvement with the group.
262626262626262626262626
 Social Class--
an open group of individuals who have similar social rank. US is not a classless
society. US criteria; occupation, education, income, wealth, race, ethnic groups
and possessions.
Social class influences many aspects of our lives. IE upper middle class Americans
prefer luxury cars Mercedes.
o Upper Americans-upper-upper class, .3%, inherited wealth, aristocratic
names.
o Lower-upper class, 1.2%, newer social elite, from current professionals and
corporate elite
o Upper-middle class, 12.5%, college graduates, managers and professionals
o Middle Americans-middle class, 32%, average pay white collar workers and
blue collar friends
o Working class, 38%, average pay blue collar workers
o Lower Americans-lower class, 9%, working, not on welfare
o Lower-lower class, 7%, on welfare
Social class determines to some extent, the types, quality, quantity of products that
a person buys or uses.
Lower class people tend to stay close to home when shopping, do not engage in
much prepurchase information gathering.
Stores project definite class images.
Family, reference groups and social classes are all social influences on consumer
behavior. All operate within a larger culture.
 Culture and Sub-culture--
Culture refers to the set of values, ideas, and attitudes that are accepted by a
homogenous group of people and transmitted to the next generation.
Culture also determines what is acceptable with product advertising. Culture
determines what people wear, eat, reside and travel. Cultural values in the US are
good health, education, individualism and freedom. In American culture time
scarcity is a growing problem. IE change in meals. Big impact on international
marketing.

No...but that is my opinion!!...Tea is a part of the British culture, hot with milk.
Different society, different levels of needs, different cultural values.
Culture can be divided into subcultures:
o geographic regions
o human characteristics such as age and ethnic background.
Culture effects what people buy, how they buy and when they buy.

Airtel & Visual Identity
For a brand to be successful, it must build enduring relationships with its different
audiences. Integral to this relationship is the visual image of the brand the consumer
carries in his/her mind. The Airtel brand image is created through the consistent
application of a carefully developed visual identity, which helps Airtel distinguish itself in a
cluttered market. Airtel's visual identity helps create instant brand recall and strengthens
the relationships that its audiences have with it.
The Airtel visual identity has different elements that work together to create a strong and
consistent identity for the brand. The most important of these are:
The Airtel Logo
The Airtel logo is a strong, contemporary and confident symbol for a brand that is always
ahead of the rest. It is a specially drawn world mark.
303030303030303030303030
The Airtel Image style
It incorporates two solid, red rectangular forms whose counter form creates an open
doorway.
The Airtel Typographical style
The title case lettering with its capital 'A' was deliberately chosen to reinforce the brand's
leadership position. The red dot on the letterform 'I' cues Airtel's focus on innovation.. The
words 'Express Yourself' are very much part of the brand identity.
The Airtel Colour Palette
The lettering is grey so that the pure black of Airtel is visually unharmed.

Overview
Bharti Tele-Ventures vision for its mobile business is “To make mobile communications
a way of life and be the customers first choice”.
The mission is to meet the mobile communication needs of the customer through 1) error
free service 2) Innovative products and services and 3) cost efficiency. The Company’s
strategic objective is to consolidate its leadership position amongst the mobile service
providers in India.
333333333333333333333333
The Indian mobile market, according to the COAI, has increased from approximately 3.6
million subscribers as of March 31, 2005 to approximately 51.03 million subscribers as of
March 31, 2008.
Despite this rapid growth, the mobile penetration rate in India, at approximately 6.9% as
of March 31, 2008, is significantly lower than the average mobile penetration rate in other
Asian and international markets.
The number of mobile subscribers in India is expected to show rapid growth over the next
four years. By 2012 it is projected at 60 million by COAI and 52 million by Gartner.
Bharti Tele-Ventures believes that the demand for mobile services in India will continue to
grow rapidly as a result of the following factors:
 Lower tariffs and handset prices over time;
 Growth in pre-paid customer category;
 Greater economic growth & continued development of India's
economy;
 Higher quality mobile networks and services; and
 Greater variety and usage of value added services.
Bharti Tele-Ventures, through its subsidiary has the licenses to provide GSM services in
all the twenty-three telecom circles in India. It proposes to consolidate all its subsidiaries
providing mobile services under Bharti Cellular Limited.
As of March 31, 2008, 100% of India's total mobile subscriber market resided in the
Company's twenty three mobile circles, which collectively 100% of India's land mass.
Recent Achievements of Bharti Cellular Limited
With the Indian economy showing signs of a continued and robust growth in the coming
years, telecom cannot have a different outlook. Recent developments in the Indian
telecom sector have brought the world focus on what is being pronounced as the fastest
growing telecom market in the world. While crossing the landmark 200 mn subscribers
has indeed brought Indian telecom sector in the big league telecom markets, the best
ever rate of growth that we see is the added silver lining. No wonder the world focus is on
343434343434343434343434
India, which in all modesty is bound to become the second largest telecom sector in the
world, after China. The telecom story unfolding in India has enough spice for any
aggressive player because the market is just growing and will continue to see more
action!
Bharti Airtel Ltd announced that it has crossed the 25-million customer base mark. In a
statement issued here, the company said, "The 25 million customer base covers mobile,
landline as well as broadband customers."
This customer base was achieved in just over 10 years, making Bharti Airtel one of the
youngest companies in the category, the company claimed. Mr Manoj Kohli, President,
Bharti Airtel said, "It is indeed a remarkable achievement not only for us at Airtel, but also
for the country as it clearly underlines the coming of age of the Indian telecom sector.
Bharti Airtel's exponential growth highlights the undisputed position of India as the
telecom hotspot of the world as the economic development of a country is very clearly
linked with telecom penetration."
Strong focus on external as well as internal customers, strategic business alliances and a
scalable business model have together helped Bharti Airtel to achieve leadership position,
he added. The achievement comes shortly after Bharti Airtel was ranked among the top
10 best performing companies in the world in the globally renowned Business Week IT
100 list.
Strong Signs of growth
The set target of reaching around half a billion customers by 2010 and a teledensity of
around 45% seems achievable. What gives the industry the confidence of achieving
these numbers is the investor-friendly government policies, a consistently strong GDP
growth, the exploding young population and the Indian business model of being profitable
despite having the lowest tariff in the world. A case in reference can be the Indian market
currently re-attracting foreign players, who had abandoned the market for lucrative
propositions. The resurgent India story can be attributed to the phenomenal growth in the
BPO sector, growth in industrial production, housing sector, agricultural, fresh demands
from the burgeoning middle class population, investments in infrastructure, and finally
exports that strengthen our 'made in India' tag. On top of flexing muscles in the home turf,
Indian operators/players have become more aggressive by spreading their wings abroad
by aquiring new licenses and existing companies.

Innovative technologies
In the wake of the western markets promising sluggish growth in the wireless, broadband
and fixed line segments, and investors turning heat on telecom giants being forced to
exist saturated markets, any action in India will be worth watching. I see substantial
telecom growth happening in the next two to four years with a slight slowdown in
investments later. The intensification of growth will be primarily driven by the wireless
market especially the 2.5G, 3G and WiMax in that order. With wireless users being
around 55% of the current population, there is vast scope for expansion of the 2.5G
network to provide the basic voice connectivity to the masses. Every operator intends to
seize the opportunity to grab the land and plans major investments in the area. Despite
almost a simultaneous deployment of 3G and WiMax in India, 3G is likely to have a
scorching growth depending on the availability of the spectrum. The current 2.5G
scenario in major cities shall add to the compulsion of operators to deploy 3G networks to
take advantage of the capacity and the device savvy Indian urban population. The Indian
urban market is as demanding as any other developed nations which has been proved by
the success of applications launched by service providers like CRBT and music
downloads. 3G brings in a broadband pipe to the wireless device thereby enabling launch
of bandwidth intensive services such as video streaming and mobile TV. Value added
services such as video on demand, video streaming, etc would be on customers' most
favored list when India embraces 3G.
With the government focus on broadband penetration and initiatives like e-Governance
and m-commerce, 3G and WiMax shall complement each other to drive the broadband
penetration from the current dismal levels of 1.8 mn to a target of 20 mn by 2010 which
may seem overambitious to somebody who is new to the Indian telecom sector. While
markets for these innovative technologies would be large cities and metros, rural India is
thriving to get their pie.

Scope
The given project is to analyze the overall satisfaction of subscribers with
their mobile service provider. The scope for the research is not very big.
The area of study of the researcher was Delhi region. Marketing is
innovative field. Here nothing can be assumed. Whatever ideas we
generate, we have to test them and they must be supported by proved
results. For this, marketing research is very important. Comparative study
is one such aspect that is very difficult to measure by guesswork.
Anything you say about it, it must be based on reliable research. I am
going to do a “ASSESSMENT AND COMPARISON OF CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION LEVEL BETWEEN AIRTEL Vodafone”.
To justify the customer satisfaction level by services from service
providers I have undertaken small survey. This survey throws light on
many things like what are the various services with which they are
satisfied and dissatisfied, what are the expectations of customers from
service provider. To facilitate our purpose, I have formed a questionnaire
and asked 200 respondents (100 Airtel and 100 Vodafone users) to fill it.

Research Methodology
5 Research Methodology
5.1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework
of evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and
concepts used during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also
dealt with and lead to a logical deduction towards the analysis and results.
5.2. RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers propose to first conduct a intensive secondary research to
understand the full impact and implication of the industry, to review and critique the
industry norms and reports, on which certain issues shall be selected, which the
researchers feel remain unanswered or liable to change , this shall be further taken
up in the next stage of exploratory research. This stage shall help the researchers to
restrict and select only the important question and issue, which inhabit growth and
segmentation in the industry. These set of questions are then proposed to be studied
under a descriptive research setting finally leading to formation of hypotheses and
testing under causal research.A research design is purely and simply the framework
or plan for a study that guides the collection and analysis of data. The survey
research was used in this project, because consumer’s feedback was necessary for
obtaining the data.
535353535353535353535353
5.3. Data Sources
New data gathered to help solve the problem at hand. As compared to secondary
data which is previously gathered data. An example is information gathered by a
questionnaire. Qualitative or quantitative data that are newly collected in the
course of research. Consists of original information that comes from people and
includes information gathered from surveys, independent observations and test
results.. Data gathered by the researcher in the act of conducting research. This is
contrasted to secondary data which entails the use of data gathered by someone other
than the researcher information that is obtained directly from first-hand sources by
means of surveys, observation.
Primary data was collected by the questionnaire based market survey. In this survey
100 AIRTEL and 100 VODAFONE mobile users were surveyed.
Secondary data was obtained from journals, magazines, newspapers, books and of
course the Internet. Information that already exists somewhere, having been
collected for another purpose. Sources include magazines, various web sites, and
subscription services. Data that have already been collected and published for
another research project (other than the one at hand). There are two types of
secondary data: internal and external secondary data. Information compiled inside or
outside the organisation for some purpose other than the current investigation. Data
that have already been collected for some purpose other than the current study.
Researching information which has already been published. Market information
compiled for purposes other than the current research effort; it can be internal data,
such as existing sales-tracking information, or it can be research conducted by
someone else, such as a market research company.
Secondary source of data used consists of books and websites

5.5. LIMITATIONS:
 Observations of a particular case cannot be universally applied to all instances
Universally.
 Data made available by interviews and existing documents may be biased.
 For the sake of convenience the sample size taken is very small so as to be a true
Representative of the entire population.
555555555555555555555555
 Many factors like predetermined company strategy, hierarchy etc. make a
company’s framework pretty different from others thus, there are many
assumptions inherent in the nature of the case itself.
 Parameters taken in the questionnaire might be insufficient to represent al the
issues.

CONCLUSION
6.16.1.1.1.1.1. Conclusion
With the steep fall in the cost of providing cellular services, and increasing deregulation
and competition, developing countries are witnessing rapid growth in cellular subscriber
base. Indian cellular industry has been witnessing a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of
about 105.2%. It is a $5 billion industry today, and the cellular subscriber base in the
country has increased to 6.4 million from a mere 28,550 in 2004. According to reports,
Indian mobile subscriber base is expected to grow to 19.48 million in the current year, i.e.;
2008. However, the penetration rate of cellular services is very poor in developing
countries. In India, the cellular density is 0.56 per 100 population compared to 77.84 in
Finland.
777777777777777777777777
Economic conditions, market structure, policies regarding tariffs and interconnect
agreements, and customer characteristics are some of the significant forces affecting the
growth of cellular services. Since it takes about 3-4 years for cellular operators to attain
financial payback on their projects, estimates of market size can be useful for network
and investment planning. Qualitative narratives and descriptive
statistics of the cellular sector for many countries are available from a variety of industry
sources. However, rigorous empirically based studies of cellular market growth are much
more limited in number.
Moreover, these studies do not provide much insight into the mechanics of growth in
cellular markets. Such insights can inform policymakers about the process by which
growth occurs and help develop policies that can improve cellular penetration in
developing countries. They are also useful to service providers in planning their network
rollouts and services in the face of market competition.
With the introduction of new providers, the incumbents face erosion of their subscriber
base. They can take preemptive measures to improve the quality of their services
offerings, reduce prices and increase the breadth of their service offerings. The new
operators have to battle against the advantages of the incumbents such as existing
subscriber base, economies of network operations, network infrastructure and their
financial strength.
There are other idiosyncrasies that may also need to be considered. In case of India for
instance, some of the entities that have received licenses to operate as the fourth
operator in metro areas, have prior cellular network provisioning experience in selected
parts of the country. They can reduce the roaming charges when the subscriber roams in
the operator's other areas. Further, the government owned third operator, was erstwhile
monopoly operator in basic and domestic long distance services. This operator has
extensive long distance network and a sound financial base that will enable them to
cross-subsidize the cellular service and reduce prices.

7. Recommendations
 Sim card activation should not take more than 24 hrs.
 More talktime should be given on recharge coupon.
 Rent should be brought down to minimum Rs.100 to attract students who forms
majority of mobile phone users.
 Calling line(CLIP) charges should be abolished as this is the necessity of mobile
users to know the number of calling party.
 Satisfaction levels of Vodafone customers are comparatively lower than Airtel
customers. They should introduce reward-based schemes for its customers.
 Network signal should reach underground basement with voice clarity. Vodafone
need to focus on it.
 Local SMS charges should brought down to less than 50 paisa as compared to
Rs.1.50. SMS is the need of students and easy way to stay in touch and have fun.
 Roaming charges should be minimized.
 Airtel must provide GPRS facility on prepaid as Vodafone does. This service is
now in very much demand as accessing e-mail,
 internet becomes easier by GPRS. Vodafone is a winner in this.
 MMS is now in demand having sound and video messages. This should be
provided at low cost.
 Billing complaints should be resolved within 24 hrs. Airtel should look into this
matter as they have more billing related issues.
818181818181818181818181
 Customer care should not take so long to provide feedback to customers.
 Call pulse rate should be reduced to 15 seconds as most call end up less than this
time. This will save money of customers.
 Customers should be given rewards or discounts for showing loyalty to service.
 Rewards to customers recommending others.
 Free unlimited call to 1 or 2 nos. on same network without any charges.(A tribute to
LOVEBIRDS)
 Free calling within the group at low monthly rental.
 Internet access on PC/LAPTOP through mobile be made cheaper.

  • 3. DECLARATION I __________________ a student of MBA of __________________ respectively hereby declare that the Project Report on “A Study on the Change in Buying Behavior & Customer Perception towards Vodafone vs Airtel” is the outcome of my own work and the same has not been submitted to any other University/Institute for the award of any degree or any Professional diploma. __________________ 333333333333
  • 4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT A project is never the sole product of a person whose name has appeared on the cover. Even the best effort may not prove successful without proper guidance. For a good project one needs proper time, energy, efforts, patience, and knowledge. But without any guidance it remains unsuccessful.

  • 9. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION "Telecommunications is the backbone of our future economy. International competitiveness increasingly depends on the development of a telecommunications infrastructure that is compatible with international standards" The cellular industry all over the world has been witnessing very high growth rates in subscriber base in recent years. For developing countries in particular, cellular services are becoming a very significant proportion of the overall telecom infrastructure. The mechanics of competition within this market involve complex feedback effects between individual service providers and with their operating environment, and these forces play an important role in governing the growth of this industry. In a country like India which is not yet telephone-saturated and the ongoing changes in related areas are resulting in a rapidly changing profile of users, providers and their respective needs, continuous revision of the telecom policy is imperative. Given the 999999999999
  • 10. emerging new technologies and the integrating economies there must be fairness among competitors. The tele-density in India is about four per hundred people in respect of the fixed telephones and a little less than one in respect of the mobile telephony. The low densities are not because there is no need for a telephone but because of its high cost that many cannot afford that one. The situation here is nothing but holding true of the “law of demand”. Isn’t it? The cost for the companies can come down if the revenue share imposed on them as a condition of license is abolished or drastically reduced. Today every telephone company is bound to pay a share out of its revenue to the exchequer. These costs are, however, not to be scheduled to take a step further in the development of the telecom. In addition when we go through the telephone bill there is a 5 to 8% service charge. This amount also does not go for the telecom development. If these external cost are removed there can be seen a spurt in demand of not less then 40% as expected. While taking the side of suppliers a lot of new companies are coming into the battlefield resulting in reduction of prices and hence a little less burdensome on to the customer. The cost of interconnection with the incumbent is proving to be contributory to the high cost of services provided by the competitors. The delay in the interconnection disregards the quality of service and high cost will detract from affordability. This is an area in which no consumer body can knowledgeably contribute unless it has the assistant of experts or economists who alone can discover all the relevant fact of all the contesting companies. It indicates the pre-eminent domain of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India). As the driven down of the prices for long distance including international services reduces the amount available for subsidizing the local service, the rental for local services are being increased. Considering that about 90% of the long distance calls are made by less than 20% of customers, 80% of customers are having to pay higher rental this depresses 101010101010101010101010
  • 11. the demand for telephones and affordability. The urban business subscribers will be bearing the bond of the subsidies to be given to the rural private consumers. 1.1 History of Cellular Telephony in India: The technology that gives a person the power to communicate anytime, anywhere - has spawned an entire industry in mobile telecommunication. Mobile telephones have become an integral part of the growth, success and efficiency of any business / economy. The most prevalent wireless standard in the world today, is GSM. The GSM Association (Global System for Mobile Communications) was instituted in 1987 to promote and expedite the adoption, development and deployment and evolution of the GSM standard for digital wireless communications. The GSM Association was formed as a result of a European Community agreement on the need to adopt common standards suitable for cross border European mobile communications. Starting off primarily as a European standard, the Groupe Speciale Mobile as it was then called, soon came to represent the Global System for Mobile Communications as it achieved the status of a world-wide standard. GSM is today, the world's leading digital standard accounting for 68.5% of the global digital wireless market. The Indian Government when considering the introduction of cellular services into the country, made a landmark decision to introduce the GSM standard, leapfrogging obsolescent technologies / standards. Although cellular licenses were made technology neutral in September 1999, all the private operators are presently offering only GSM based mobile services. The new licensees for the 4th cellular licenses that were awarded in July 2001 too, have opted for GSM technology to offer their mobile services. 1.2 Cellular Industry in India The Government of India recognizes that the provision of a world-class telecommunications infrastructure and information is the key to rapid economic and social development of the country. It is critical not only for the development of the Information Technology industry, but also has widespread ramifications on the entire economy of the country. It is also anticipated that going forward, a major part of the GDP of the country would be contributed by this sector. Accordingly, it is of vital importance to the country that 111111111111111111111111
  • 12. there be a comprehensive and forward looking telecommunications policy which creates an enabling framework for development of this industry. 1.3 Cellular Market Structure in India As in other countries, in India, the Cellular Mobile Service Providers (CMSPs) are licensed to operate in designated geographical operating areas. The service areas include four metro areas and 18 circles categorized as A, B and C. (The categorization is based on the revenue Proceedings of the 36th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences). The potential with category C circles in the lower end of the scale. For example the metros account for 40% of the subscriber population, with Category-A, B and C accounting for 33%, 23% and 4% respectively. The CMSPs had to pay an entry fee and subsequently annual license fee as a percentage of their revenue to the Department of Telecommunications. The entry and license fees varied according to the service area, highest for metros and lowest for Category-C circles. Some of the CMSPs could not fulfill their licensing obligations and their licenses were revoked leading to a monopoly situation in certain areas. Apart from these charges, each CMSP has to share the revenue with the long distance operators for carrying inter-service area calls. In profitable metros and circles, the competition is severe and the market is split between the two operators. In a price-cap regulated market, the operators use appropriate pricing strategy to win customers and win market share. In highly price-elastic markets, such as in India, as the service provider reduces the price, the subscriber base increases considerably, and so is the network traffic. The increased network traffic decreases the performance and the quality of service, inviting customers to switch. Being a new entrant in a metro area, the government operator reduced the airtime charges to such an extent that the subscriber base increased suddenly leading to poor network performance. The operator did not have enough network capacity to handle calls 121212121212121212121212
  • 13. leading to blocking of calls, with frustrated customers switching over immediately to competitors. The operators also have to resort to non-pricing competition strategies to win customers. In India, CMSPs offer a variety of service plans as a means to attract new customers. Different service plans include: pre-paid calling card schemes, discounted airtime rates for evening and night time calls, discounted roaming charges, no or minimum activation fees, and reduced mobile to mobile long distance call rates. The service providers incur additional advertising and infrastructure cost for implementing these plans. Short Message Service (SMS) and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) service are fast catching up. For example, in India, about 500,000 SMS messages are being carried by a service provider in one metro area alone. When the sector moves over to an oligopoly market, the operators have to provide improved quality of service and value added services in order to survive and gain market share. Larger operators who have experience and infrastructure may be able to provide a higher quality of service and other value-added service at a lower price. They also have access to larger project financing for enlarging their networks and services. For example, a single large operator now has license to operate in 14 service areas in the country with the largest footprint to cover most of the areas of the country. Mergers and acquisitions are commonplace as the operators are consolidating their revenues to survive in the market places. Cellular subscribers and those with a propensity to go mobile in Delhi have never had it so good. They now have four service providers to choose from, each offering an array of both pre- and post-paid schemes. More importantly, average tariffs across plans have, by some reckoning, dropped by at least 50 per cent in the last six months. The entry of Vodafone saw a further drop in tariffs and the operators have come out with new schemes to retain their subscribers and attract fresh ones. What does this mean for subscribers and for the cellular industry in Delhi? All the four operators Essar Mobile Services Ltd., Bharti Celluar Ltd, MTNL and Idea Cellular services are convinced that the market will only expand and the subscribers will benefit even more. Their reasoning is that cellular penetration in Delhi, which traditionally occupies the 131313131313131313131313
  • 14. third position in other areas, is less than fifty per cent. Therefore, entry of new players will only increase awareness about the facility, the companies say. Moreover, the state-owned MTNL has also been playing with its cellular service for quite some time. that, with the imminent launch of limited mobility using CDMA (code division multiple access) technology by companies like Tata Tele Services will only add to the subscriber base, probably result in further reduction of tariffs, and an even greater widening of the cellular market, according to officials in four cellular companies now servicing Delhi. However, the companies also sound a note of caution — any further drop in tariffs will be harmful to the companies, points out one of the officials taking care of the — Sales & Marketing division of the, Essar Mobile Services Ltd, average tariffs in Delhi across different plans have fallen by 30 per cent since December with launching of the CDMA services. Besides the fall in tariffs, what has really happened with the entry of CDMA is a heightened awareness in the market. Mobile penetration in Delhi and its suburbs is estimated to be less than twenty-five percent of the population and the cellular operators believe that this number should definitely go up. It is here that Vodafone decided to target the customers with what it believes are unique products and features. Its emphasis has been on value proposition and brand building. Mobility is not only about carrying voice, as per the reports from the marketing department and adds that the unified messaging system for the post-paid customers of (now Vodafone) is one such unique product. Accordingly, Vodafone signed in its subscribers in lakhs from the year onwards it has been launched in Delhi. Industry analysts say that a majority of them will be pre-paid customers, whose loyalty to a particular brand is always in doubt. However, pre-paid for the cellular is nothing but the engine for growth and there is always a possibility that most of them will shift to post-paid once they are convinced of the quality of service provided. On the other hand the entry of a new operator lends more visibility to the service and there is also increased trade activity — that is the number of dealers will increase and more people will be on the road trying to sell the service and product. There is also 141414141414141414141414
  • 15. greater consumer awareness of what cellular service can deliver and expectations go up in terms of pricing or service standards or network availability. 1.4 The Churn in the Cellular Industry: As like the other products Cellular industry has not been left untouched from the Churn (switching over). During the survey this fact comes to the fore. According to the cellular operators, there is a normal seven to eight percent churn in the customers, especially in the pre-paid category. Among the post-paid customers, the Churn is much lower about two-three percent. They say that one significant change that has happened in the last few months, more so since lowering of the tariffs, is that the bias in favour of incoming calls as far as call charges are concerned — incoming calls has been set free while they are charging reasonably only for the outgoing ones — has changed. A tariff re-balancing has definitely taken place. This means that the cellular operators are encouraging their subscribers to not just receive calls, but also make calls — increasing the usage of the service. With falling tariffs, cellular operators are convinced that increasing usage is one way to ensure that average revenue per user (ARPU) does not fall very low. The industry figure for ARPU is believed to be about Rs.1,100 while it may vary from operator to operator. The operators are also concentrating on introducing more value added services to the customers. Value- added services have not really taken off. Only the SMS (short messaging service) has really caught on, but operators like Bharti are bringing in services like music messaging and concierge facility for its subscribers. 151515151515151515151515
  • 18. CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR 2. Consumer Buying Behaviour Buying Behavior is the decision processes and acts of people involved in buying and using products. Need to understand:  Why consumers make the purchases that they make?  What factors influence consumer purchases?  The changing factors in our society. Consumer Buying Behavior refers to the buying behavior of the ultimate consumer. A firm needs to analyze buying behavior for:  Buyers reactions to a firms marketing strategy has a great impact on the firms success.  The marketing concept stresses that a firm should create a Marketing Mix (MM) that satisfies (gives utility to) customers, therefore need to analyze the what, where, when and how consumers buy.  Marketers can better predict how consumers will respond to marketing strategies. 2.1 STAGES OF THE CONSUMER BUYING PROCESS Six Stages to the Consumer Buying Decision Process (For complex decisions). Actual purchasing is only one stage of the process. Not all decision processes lead to a purchase. All consumer decisions do not always include all 6 stages, determined by the degree of complexity...discussed next. THE 6 STAGES ARE: 1. Problem Recognition (awareness of need)--difference between the desired state and the actual condition. Deficit in assortment of products. Hunger--Food. Hunger stimulates your need to eat. Can be stimulated by the marketer through product information--did not know you were deficient? I.E., see a commercial for a new pair of shoes, stimulates your recognition that you need a new pair of shoes. 2. Information search-- 181818181818181818181818
  • 19. o Internal search, memory. o External search if you need more information. Friends and relatives (word of mouth). Marketer dominated sources; comparison shopping; public sources etc. A successful information search leaves a buyer with possible alternatives, the evoked set. Hungry, want to go out and eat, evoked set is o chinese food o indian food o burger king o klondike kates etc 3. Evaluation of Alternatives--need to establish criteria for evaluation, features the buyer wants or does not want. Rank/weight alternatives or resume search. May decide that you want to eat something spicy, Indian gets highest rank etc. If not satisfied with your choice then return to the search phase. Can you think of another restaurant? Look in the yellow pages etc. Information from different sources may be treated differently. Marketers try to influence by "framing" alternatives. 4. Purchase decision--Choose buying alternative, includes product, package, store, method of purchase etc. 5. Purchase--May differ from decision, time lapse between 4 & 5, product availability. 6. Post-Purchase Evaluation--outcome: Satisfaction or Dissatisfaction. Cognitive Dissonance, have you made the right decision. This can be reduced by warranties, after sales communication etc. After eating an Indian meal, may think that really you wanted a Chinese meal instead. 2.2 TYPES OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR Types of consumer buying behavior are determined by: 191919191919191919191919
  • 20.  Level of Involvement in purchase decision. Importance and intensity of interest in a product in a particular situation.  Buyers level of involvement determines why he/she is motivated to seek information about a certain products and brands but virtually ignores others. High involvement purchases--Honda Motorbike, high priced goods, products visible to others, and the higher the risk the higher the involvement. Types of risk:  Personal risk  Social risk  Economic risk The four type of consumer buying behavior are:  Routine Response/Programmed Behavior--buying low involvement frequently purchased low cost items; need very little search and decision effort; purchased almost automatically. Examples include soft drinks, snack foods, milk etc.  Limited Decision Making--buying product occasionally. When you need to obtain information about unfamiliar brand in a familiar product category, perhaps. Requires a moderate amount of time for information gathering. Examples include Clothes--know product class but not the brand.  Extensive Decision Making/Complex high involvement, unfamiliar, expensive and/or infrequently bought products. High degree of economic/performance/psychological risk. Examples include cars, homes, computers, education. Spend alot of time seeking information and deciding. Information from the companies MM; friends and relatives, store personnel etc. Go through all six stages of the buying process.  Impulse buying, no conscious planning. The purchase of the same product does not always elicit the same Buying Behavior. Product can shift from one category to the next. For example: Going out for dinner for one person may be extensive decision making (for someone that does not go out often at all), but limited decision making for someone else. The reason for the dinner, whether it is an anniversary celebration, or a meal with a couple of friends will also determine the extent of the decision making. 202020202020202020202020
  • 21. 2.3 CATEGORIES THAT EFFECT THE CONSUMER BUYING DECISION PROCESS A consumer, making a purchase decision will be affected by the following three factors: 1. Personal 2. Psychological 3. Social The marketer must be aware of these factors in order to develop an appropriate MM for its target market. Personal Unique to a particular person. Demographic Factors. Sex, Race, Age etc. Who in the family is responsible for the decision making? Young people purchase things for different reasons than older people. Highlights the differences between male and female shoppers in the supermarket. Psychological factors Psychological factors include:  Motives-- A motive is an internal energizing force that orients a person's activities toward satisfying a need or achieving a goal. Actions are effected by a set of motives, not just one. If marketers can identify motives then they can better develop a marketing mix. MASLOW hierarchy of needs!! o Physiological o Safety o Love and Belonging o Esteem o Self Actualization 212121212121212121212121
  • 22. Need to determine what level of the hierarchy the consumers are at to determine what motivates their purchases. Nutrament, a product marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb originally was targeted at consumers that needed to receive additional energy from their drinks after exercise etc., a fitness drink. It was therefore targeted at consumers whose needs were for either love and Belonging or esteem. The product was not selling well, and was almost terminated. Upon extensive research it was determined that the product did sell well in inner-city convenience stores. It was determined that the consumers for the product were actually drug addicts who couldn't not digest a regular meal. They would purchase Nutrament as a substitute for a meal. Their motivation to purchase was completely different to the motivation that B-MS had originally thought. These consumers were at the Physiological level of the hierarchy. BM-S therefore had to redesign its MM to better meet the needs of this target market. Motives often operate at a subconscious level therefore are difficult to measure. Perception-- What do you see?? Perception is the process of selecting, organizing and interpreting information inputs to produce meaning. IE we chose what info we pay attention to, organize it and interpret it. Information inputs are the sensations received through sight, taste, hearing, smell and touch. Selective Exposure-select inputs to be exposed to our awareness. More likely if it is linked to an event, satisfies current needs, intensity of input changes (sharp price drop). Selective Distortion-Changing/twisting current received information, inconsistent with beliefs. Advertisers that use comparative advertisements (pitching one product against another), have to be very careful that consumers do not distort the facts and perceive that the advertisement was for the competitor. A current example...MCI and AT&T...do you ever get confused? Selective Retention-Remember inputs that support beliefs, forgets those that don't. Average supermarket shopper is exposed to 17,000 products in a shopping visit lasting 30 minutes-60% of purchases are unplanned. Exposed to 1,500 advertisement per day. Can't be expected to be aware of all these inputs, and certainly will not retain many. 222222222222222222222222
  • 23. Interpreting information is based on what is already familiar, on knowledge that is stored in the memory. Problems marketing wine from South Africa. Consumers have strong perceptions of the country, and hence its products.  Ability and Knowledge-- Need to understand individuals capacity to learn. Learning, changes in a person's behavior caused by information and experience. Therefore to change consumers' behavior about your product, need to give them new information re: product...free sample etc. South Africa...open bottle of wine and pour it!! Also educate american consumers about changes in SA. Need to sell a whole new country. When making buying decisions, buyers must process information. Knowledge is the familiarity with the product and expertise. Inexperience buyers often use prices as an indicator of quality more than those who have knowledge of a product. Non-alcoholic Beer example: consumers chose the most expensive six-pack, because they assume that the greater price indicates greater quality. Learning is the process through which a relatively permanent change in behavior results from the consequences of past behavior.  Attitudes-- Knowledge and positive and negative feelings about an object or activity-maybe tangible or intangible, living or non- living.....Drive perceptions Individual learns attitudes through experience and interaction with other people. Consumer attitudes toward a firm and its products greatly influence the success or failure of the firm's marketing strategy. Honda "You meet the nicest people on a Honda", dispel the unsavory image of a motorbike rider, late 1950s. Changing market of the 1990s, baby boomers aging, Hondas market returning to hard core. To change this they have a new slogan "Come ride with us". Attitudes and attitude change are influenced by consumers personality and lifestyle. 232323232323232323232323
  • 24. Consumers screen information that conflicts with their attitudes. Distort information to make it consistent and selectively retain information that reinforces our attitudes. IE brand loyalty. There is a difference between attitude and intention to buy (ability to buy).  Personality-- All the internal traits and behaviors that make a person unique, uniqueness arrives from a person's heredity and personal experience. Examples include: o Workaholism o Compulsiveness o Self confidence o Friendliness o Adaptability o Ambitiousness o Dogmatism o Authoritarianism o Introversion o Extroversion o Aggressiveness o Competitiveness. Traits effect the way people behave. Marketers try to match the store image to the perceived image of their customers. There is a weak association between personality and Buying Behavior, this may be due to unreliable measures. Nike ads. Consumers buy products that are consistent with their self concept. Lifestyles-- Recent US trends in lifestyles are a shift towards personal independence and individualism and a preference for a healthy, natural lifestyle. Lifestyles are the consistent patterns people follow in their lives. 242424242424242424242424
  • 25. EXAMPLE healthy foods for a healthy lifestyle. Sun tan not considered fashionable in US until 1920's. Now an assault by the American Academy of Dermatology. Social Factors Consumer wants, learning, motives etc. are influenced by opinion leaders, person's family, reference groups, social class and culture.  Opinion leaders-- Spokespeople etc. Marketers try to attract opinion leaders...they actually use (pay) spokespeople to market their products. Michael Jordon (Nike, McDonalds, Gatorade etc.) Can be risky...Michael Jackson...OJ Simpson...Chevy Chase  Roles and Family Influences-- Role...things you should do based on the expectations of you from your position within a group. People have many roles. Husband, father, employer/ee. Individuals role are continuing to change therefore marketers must continue to update information. Family is the most basic group a person belongs to. Marketers must understand: o that many family decisions are made by the family unit o consumer behavior starts in the family unit o family roles and preferences are the model for children's future family (can reject/alter/etc) o family buying decisions are a mixture of family interactions and individual decision making o family acts an interpreter of social and cultural values for the individual. The Family life cycle: families go through stages, each stage creates different consumer demands: o bachelor stage...most o newly married, young, no children...me o full nest I, youngest child under 6 o full nest II, youngest child 6 or over 252525252525252525252525
  • 26. o full nest III, older married couples with dependent children o empty nest I, older married couples with no children living with them, head in labor force o empty nest II, older married couples, no children living at home, head retired o solitary survivor, in labor force o solitary survivor, retired o Modernized life cycle includes divorced and no children. Because 2 income families are becoming more common, the decision maker within the family unit is changing...also, family has less time for children, and therefore tends to let them influence purchase decisions in order to alleviate some of the guilt. (Children influence about $130 billion of goods in a year) Children also have more money to spend themselves. Reference Groups-- Individual identifies with the group to the extent that he takes on many of the values, attitudes or behaviors of the group members. Families, friends, sororities, civic and professional organizations. Any group that has a positive or negative influence on a persons attitude and behavior. Membership groups (belong to) Affinity marketing is focused on the desires of consumers that belong to reference groups. Marketers get the groups to approve the product and communicate that approval to its members. Credit Cards etc.!! Aspiration groups (want to belong to) Disassociate groups (do not want to belong to) Honda, tries to disassociate from the "biker" group. The degree to which a reference group will affect a purchase decision depends on an individuals susceptibility to reference group influence and the strength of his/her involvement with the group. 262626262626262626262626
  • 27.  Social Class-- an open group of individuals who have similar social rank. US is not a classless society. US criteria; occupation, education, income, wealth, race, ethnic groups and possessions. Social class influences many aspects of our lives. IE upper middle class Americans prefer luxury cars Mercedes. o Upper Americans-upper-upper class, .3%, inherited wealth, aristocratic names. o Lower-upper class, 1.2%, newer social elite, from current professionals and corporate elite o Upper-middle class, 12.5%, college graduates, managers and professionals o Middle Americans-middle class, 32%, average pay white collar workers and blue collar friends o Working class, 38%, average pay blue collar workers o Lower Americans-lower class, 9%, working, not on welfare o Lower-lower class, 7%, on welfare Social class determines to some extent, the types, quality, quantity of products that a person buys or uses. Lower class people tend to stay close to home when shopping, do not engage in much prepurchase information gathering. Stores project definite class images. Family, reference groups and social classes are all social influences on consumer behavior. All operate within a larger culture.  Culture and Sub-culture-- Culture refers to the set of values, ideas, and attitudes that are accepted by a homogenous group of people and transmitted to the next generation. Culture also determines what is acceptable with product advertising. Culture determines what people wear, eat, reside and travel. Cultural values in the US are good health, education, individualism and freedom. In American culture time scarcity is a growing problem. IE change in meals. Big impact on international marketing. 272727272727272727272727
  • 28. No...but that is my opinion!!...Tea is a part of the British culture, hot with milk. Different society, different levels of needs, different cultural values. Culture can be divided into subcultures: o geographic regions o human characteristics such as age and ethnic background. Culture effects what people buy, how they buy and when they buy. 282828282828282828282828

  • 34. The Indian mobile market, according to the COAI, has increased from approximately 3.6 million subscribers as of March 31, 2005 to approximately 51.03 million subscribers as of March 31, 2008. Despite this rapid growth, the mobile penetration rate in India, at approximately 6.9% as of March 31, 2008, is significantly lower than the average mobile penetration rate in other Asian and international markets. The number of mobile subscribers in India is expected to show rapid growth over the next four years. By 2012 it is projected at 60 million by COAI and 52 million by Gartner. Bharti Tele-Ventures believes that the demand for mobile services in India will continue to grow rapidly as a result of the following factors:  Lower tariffs and handset prices over time;  Growth in pre-paid customer category;  Greater economic growth & continued development of India's economy;  Higher quality mobile networks and services; and  Greater variety and usage of value added services. Bharti Tele-Ventures, through its subsidiary has the licenses to provide GSM services in all the twenty-three telecom circles in India. It proposes to consolidate all its subsidiaries providing mobile services under Bharti Cellular Limited. As of March 31, 2008, 100% of India's total mobile subscriber market resided in the Company's twenty three mobile circles, which collectively 100% of India's land mass. Recent Achievements of Bharti Cellular Limited With the Indian economy showing signs of a continued and robust growth in the coming years, telecom cannot have a different outlook. Recent developments in the Indian telecom sector have brought the world focus on what is being pronounced as the fastest growing telecom market in the world. While crossing the landmark 200 mn subscribers has indeed brought Indian telecom sector in the big league telecom markets, the best ever rate of growth that we see is the added silver lining. No wonder the world focus is on 343434343434343434343434
  • 35. India, which in all modesty is bound to become the second largest telecom sector in the world, after China. The telecom story unfolding in India has enough spice for any aggressive player because the market is just growing and will continue to see more action! Bharti Airtel Ltd announced that it has crossed the 25-million customer base mark. In a statement issued here, the company said, "The 25 million customer base covers mobile, landline as well as broadband customers." This customer base was achieved in just over 10 years, making Bharti Airtel one of the youngest companies in the category, the company claimed. Mr Manoj Kohli, President, Bharti Airtel said, "It is indeed a remarkable achievement not only for us at Airtel, but also for the country as it clearly underlines the coming of age of the Indian telecom sector. Bharti Airtel's exponential growth highlights the undisputed position of India as the telecom hotspot of the world as the economic development of a country is very clearly linked with telecom penetration." Strong focus on external as well as internal customers, strategic business alliances and a scalable business model have together helped Bharti Airtel to achieve leadership position, he added. The achievement comes shortly after Bharti Airtel was ranked among the top 10 best performing companies in the world in the globally renowned Business Week IT 100 list. Strong Signs of growth The set target of reaching around half a billion customers by 2010 and a teledensity of around 45% seems achievable. What gives the industry the confidence of achieving these numbers is the investor-friendly government policies, a consistently strong GDP growth, the exploding young population and the Indian business model of being profitable despite having the lowest tariff in the world. A case in reference can be the Indian market currently re-attracting foreign players, who had abandoned the market for lucrative propositions. The resurgent India story can be attributed to the phenomenal growth in the BPO sector, growth in industrial production, housing sector, agricultural, fresh demands from the burgeoning middle class population, investments in infrastructure, and finally exports that strengthen our 'made in India' tag. On top of flexing muscles in the home turf, Indian operators/players have become more aggressive by spreading their wings abroad by aquiring new licenses and existing companies. 353535353535353535353535
  • 36. Innovative technologies In the wake of the western markets promising sluggish growth in the wireless, broadband and fixed line segments, and investors turning heat on telecom giants being forced to exist saturated markets, any action in India will be worth watching. I see substantial telecom growth happening in the next two to four years with a slight slowdown in investments later. The intensification of growth will be primarily driven by the wireless market especially the 2.5G, 3G and WiMax in that order. With wireless users being around 55% of the current population, there is vast scope for expansion of the 2.5G network to provide the basic voice connectivity to the masses. Every operator intends to seize the opportunity to grab the land and plans major investments in the area. Despite almost a simultaneous deployment of 3G and WiMax in India, 3G is likely to have a scorching growth depending on the availability of the spectrum. The current 2.5G scenario in major cities shall add to the compulsion of operators to deploy 3G networks to take advantage of the capacity and the device savvy Indian urban population. The Indian urban market is as demanding as any other developed nations which has been proved by the success of applications launched by service providers like CRBT and music downloads. 3G brings in a broadband pipe to the wireless device thereby enabling launch of bandwidth intensive services such as video streaming and mobile TV. Value added services such as video on demand, video streaming, etc would be on customers' most favored list when India embraces 3G. With the government focus on broadband penetration and initiatives like e-Governance and m-commerce, 3G and WiMax shall complement each other to drive the broadband penetration from the current dismal levels of 1.8 mn to a target of 20 mn by 2010 which may seem overambitious to somebody who is new to the Indian telecom sector. While markets for these innovative technologies would be large cities and metros, rural India is thriving to get their pie.

INTRODUCTION This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework of evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and concepts used during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also dealt with and lead to a logical deduction towards the analysis and results. 5.2. RESEARCH DESIGN The researchers propose to first conduct a intensive secondary research to understand the full impact and implication of the industry, to review and critique the industry norms and reports, on which certain issues shall be selected, which the researchers feel remain unanswered or liable to change , this shall be further taken up in the next stage of exploratory research. This stage shall help the researchers to restrict and select only the important question and issue, which inhabit growth and segmentation in the industry. These set of questions are then proposed to be studied under a descriptive research setting finally leading to formation of hypotheses and testing under causal research.A research design is purely and simply the framework or plan for a study that guides the collection and analysis of data. The survey research was used in this project, because consumer’s feedback was necessary for obtaining the data. 535353535353535353535353

  • 77. CONCLUSION 6.16.1.1.1.1.1. Conclusion With the steep fall in the cost of providing cellular services, and increasing deregulation and competition, developing countries are witnessing rapid growth in cellular subscriber base. Indian cellular industry has been witnessing a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of about 105.2%. It is a $5 billion industry today, and the cellular subscriber base in the country has increased to 6.4 million from a mere 28,550 in 2004. According to reports, Indian mobile subscriber base is expected to grow to 19.48 million in the current year, i.e.; 2008. However, the penetration rate of cellular services is very poor in developing countries. In India, the cellular density is 0.56 per 100 population compared to 77.84 in Finland. 777777777777777777777777
  • 78. Economic conditions, market structure, policies regarding tariffs and interconnect agreements, and customer characteristics are some of the significant forces affecting the growth of cellular services. Since it takes about 3-4 years for cellular operators to attain financial payback on their projects, estimates of market size can be useful for network and investment planning. Qualitative narratives and descriptive statistics of the cellular sector for many countries are available from a variety of industry sources. However, rigorous empirically based studies of cellular market growth are much more limited in number. Moreover, these studies do not provide much insight into the mechanics of growth in cellular markets. Such insights can inform policymakers about the process by which growth occurs and help develop policies that can improve cellular penetration in developing countries. They are also useful to service providers in planning their network rollouts and services in the face of market competition. With the introduction of new providers, the incumbents face erosion of their subscriber base. They can take preemptive measures to improve the quality of their services offerings, reduce prices and increase the breadth of their service offerings. The new operators have to battle against the advantages of the incumbents such as existing subscriber base, economies of network operations, network infrastructure and their financial strength. There are other idiosyncrasies that may also need to be considered. In case of India for instance, some of the entities that have received licenses to operate as the fourth operator in metro areas, have prior cellular network provisioning experience in selected parts of the country. They can reduce the roaming charges when the subscriber roams in the operator's other areas. Further, the government owned third operator, was erstwhile monopoly operator in basic and domestic long distance services. This operator has extensive long distance network and a sound financial base that will enable them to cross-subsidize the cellular service and reduce prices. 787878787878787878787878

RECOMMENDATIONS 797979797979797979797979
  • 81. 7. Recommendations  Sim card activation should not take more than 24 hrs.  More talktime should be given on recharge coupon.  Rent should be brought down to minimum Rs.100 to attract students who forms majority of mobile phone users.  Calling line(CLIP) charges should be abolished as this is the necessity of mobile users to know the number of calling party.  Satisfaction levels of Vodafone customers are comparatively lower than Airtel customers. They should introduce reward-based schemes for its customers.  Network signal should reach underground basement with voice clarity. Vodafone need to focus on it.  Local SMS charges should brought down to less than 50 paisa as compared to Rs.1.50. SMS is the need of students and easy way to stay in touch and have fun.  Roaming charges should be minimized.  Airtel must provide GPRS facility on prepaid as Vodafone does. This service is now in very much demand as accessing e-mail,  internet becomes easier by GPRS. Vodafone is a winner in this.  MMS is now in demand having sound and video messages. This should be provided at low cost.  Billing complaints should be resolved within 24 hrs. Airtel should look into this matter as they have more billing related issues. 818181818181818181818181
  • 82.  Customer care should not take so long to provide feedback to customers.  Call pulse rate should be reduced to 15 seconds as most call end up less than this time. This will save money of customers.  Customers should be given rewards or discounts for showing loyalty to service.  Rewards to customers recommending others.  Free unlimited call to 1 or 2 nos. on same network without any charges.(A tribute to LOVEBIRDS)  Free calling within the group at low monthly rental.  Internet access on PC/LAPTOP through mobile be made cheaper. 828282828282828282828282
