2. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
Till the 1980s, players like Godrej, Kelvinator, Alwen and Voltas controlled almost 90% of the
market. Earlier, the white goods sector was categorized as a luxury goods industry and was
subject to oppressive taxation and licensing. The situation changed after the liberalization of the
Indian economy in the early 1990s. The government removed all restrictions, and now there is no
restriction on foreign investment, and licenses are no longer required. Post-liberalization, a
number of foreign companies entered the market and many domestic players also diversified into
refrigerators. BPL and Videocon, who already had a presence in the consumer electronics
market, leveraged their strengths to enter the durables sector.
In India, refrigerators have the highest inspirational value of all consumer durables, with the
exception of televisions. This accounts for the high growth rate of the refrigerator market. The
refrigerator market has been growing at a rate of about 15% per year, while the consumer
durables industry as a whole has grown at almost 8%. The size of the refrigerator market is
estimated to be 3.5- 4 million units approximately, valued at Rs 50 billion. The domestic
penetration rate of refrigerators is about 9%. The penetration of refrigerators is considerably
higher in urban areas, which account for 75% of the demand, with rural areas constituting the
other 25%. The demand is also higher in the northern and western parts of the country than in the
east. The south also has high demand as the warmer weather of the south requires a refrigerator
running throughout the year.

CHAPTER-3 LITERATURE REVIEW
Scope of market research in view of modern global business:
Research methods provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to solve the problems and meet
the challenges of a fast-paced decision-making environment. Business research courses are recognition
that students in business, not-for-profit, and public organizations – in all functional areas – need
training in the scientific method and its application to decision making. Two factors stimulate an
interest in more scientific decision making: (1) the manager’s increased need for more and better
information and (2) the availability of improved techniques and tools to meet this need.
During the last two decades, we have witnessed dramatic changes in the business environment.
Emerging from a historically economic role, the business organization has evolved in response to the
social and political mandates of national public policy, explosive technology growth, and continuing
innovations in global communications. These changes have created new knowledge needs for the
manager. Other knowledge demands have arisen from problems with mergers, trade policies, protected
markets, technology transfers, and macroeconomic savings – investment issues.
The trend toward complexity has increased the risks associated with business decisions, making it
more important to have a sound information base. Increased complexity means there are more
variables to consider. The competition is more vigorous, with much business downsizing to make
competitive gains. Workers, shareholders, customers, and the public are better informed and more
sensitive to their self-interest. Government continues to show concern with all aspects of society. Each
of these factors demands that managers have more and better information upon which to base
decisions. To do well in such an environment, you will need to be equipped with an understanding of
scientific methods and a means of incorporating them into decision making. You will need to know
how to identify good research and how to conduct it. This book addresses these needs.
As the complexity of the business environment has increased, there has been acommensurate, increase
in the number and power of the tools to conduct research. Theories vastly more knowledge in all fields
of management. We have begun to build better theories. The computer has given us a quantum leap in
the ability to deal with problems. New techniques of quantitative analysis take advantage of this
power. Communication and measurement techniques have also been enhanced. These trends reinforce
each other and are having a massive impact on business management.
Sources of collection of primary and secondary data for market research.
21. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
Internal Sources
Internal sources of organizational data are so varied that it is difficult to provide generalizations about
their use. Accounting and management information systems create and store much of the internal data.
Research and development, planning, and marketing functions also contribute. Examples are
departmental reports, production summaries, financial and accounting reports, and marketing and sales
studies. The collection methods used are unique to the specific situation, and collection success
depends on knowing just where and how to look. Sometimes the information may exist in central files
(i.e., at headquarters), in computer database, or in departmental chronological files.
In other organizations, a central library keeps all relevant information. Systematic searches should be
made through exploratory interviews with everyone who handles the information. Often company
librarians, MIS. PR/communications or departmental secretaries can help in pinpointing critical data
sources. Internal data sources may be the only source of information for many studies.
External Sources
External sources are created outside the organization and are more varied than internal sources. There
are also better defined methods for finding them. This discussion is restricted to published sources,
although other sources of information may be useful.
Published sources of data can be classified into five categories. The newest and fastest growing one is
computerized database. They are composed of interrelated data files. The files are sets of records
grouped to get her for storage on some medium. Access may be through online search or CD-ROM.
Online databases are often specialized and focus on information about a particular field.
Major source of published information consists of diverse materials from special
collections. Within this category there are many reference books, each a compendium of range of
information. A second group includes university publications, of which there are master’s theses,
doctoral dissertations, and research records. A third group includes company publications such as
financial reports, company policy statements, and speeches by prominent executives, sales literature,
product specifications, and many others. There are miscellaneous information sources consisting of the
productions of various trade, professional and other associations. These organizations often publish
statistical compilation, research report, and proceeding of meeting miscellaneous information sources
consisting of the productions of various trade, professional and other associations. These organizations
often publish statistical compilation, research report, and proceeding of meeting.

CHAPTER-5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
What is research?
It is a systematic process of collecting & analyzing information in order to increase our
understanding of the phenomenon about which are concerned or interested.
The research is basically an exploratory research. We will do by way of extensive literature
review of books to find out the scope and basic background, journals and other published data
related to the focus of the study, as also concerned websites, was carried out to gather
background information about the general nature of the research problem.
Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project. Without a proper well-organized
research plan, it is impossible to complete the project and reach to any conclusion. The project
was based on the survey plan. The main objective of survey waste collect appropriate data, which
work as a base for drawing conclusion and getting result.
Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem.
Research methodology not only talks of the methods but also logic behind the methods used in
the context of a research study and it explains why a particular method has been used in the
preference of the other methods.
Research design
Research design is important primarily because of the increased complexity in the markets well
as marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the evolution of
successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an important tool to study buyer’s
behavior, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A research design
specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study. According to Kerlinger,
“Research Design is a plan, conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation conceived as to
obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.
Research design specifies methods and procedures for study. In this study the company was
interested to know the demand of different consumer durable product, about competitors, and
potential for company procedures to be used for the study among retailers/dealer.

CHAPTER-8 LIMITATIONS OF PROJECT
Although I tried my best in preparation of this project, but this study has some limitation:
The period of the project was not sufficient to study all the factors in deep.
Visiting various places for the study consumed a lot of time.
I cannot say that what the consumer have revealed will be right for each and every
Situation because their perception is influenced by many factors.
Many customers showed less interest in providing information and haven’t cooperated.
34. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY

CHAPTER-9 RECOMMENDATIONS
The study is not complete without suggestions. Some suggestion is as follows.
The organization is required to pay attention on customer relationship and sales & services.
The company should try to make various types of the refrigeration & different types of
shades.
The company should introduce various promotion schemes for brand building.
According to my view, IC ICE MAKE REFRIGERATION PVT. LTD. should advertise
more in local news paper like a Gujarat Samachar and Sandesh, then magazine because
majority of persons read local newspaper & magazine.
