INTRODUCTION

Marketing comprises an integrated system of business activities in order to plan, price,

promote and distribute goods and services to melt consumer needs within the limits of society.

We can evolve a planned system of action dealing with the problem of moving large volume of

products, by looking to ultimate customers and backward to suppliers and by linking customers

and suppliers together in a sequence of proper steps. Marketing is recognized as the most

significant activity in our entire economic life, a wide range of marketing activities

continuously affects our life styles. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the housing that

shelter us the comforts and amenities we enjoy in our home and at work places, the health and

welfare activities which give us peace of mind all these are profoundly affected each day by the

marketing system. Marketing alone can put goods and service we want and need at our

doorsteps, and satisfy and varied and innumerable needs and wants. Our entire economic life

shall be simply paralyzed if marketing system fails to shoulder its main responsibility, viz.,

discovering and servicing the market demand.

Marketing has achieved social importance because it is entrusted with task of creation and

delivery of standard of lignin to society. Marketing studies continuously consumer demand,

which is, varied and dynamic. On the basis of up-to date knowledge of nature, character and

magnitude of market demand, the firm produces wanted goods and services which are offered

to consumers at fair prices through distribution channels.

Marketing is the vital connecting link between producers (production) and consumers

(Consumption). It is primarily responsible to keep the wheels production and consumption

constantly moving or running at their optimum speed. Optimum production and optimum

consumption can secure optimum standard of living in an economy. Marketing is directly

responsible to maintain the equilibrium between mass production and ass consumption. Then

only we will have economic stability.

Industrial revolution offered mass production in the 19th century. Marketing revolution is called

upon to provide mass distribution machinery in the 20th century for effective distribution in

every expanding Markets. We have get to evolve a smoothly operating system of physical

distribution. Consumer oriented marketers can and must play an important role in mass

distribution. Better marketing can raise living standards of all people in any country.

Marketing system plays a unique role in transforming the benefits of mass production in terms

of rising living standards and life styles all people through the best systems of physical

distribution. The number one problems in economic marketing has tremendous importance to

solve this burning problem of mass distribution. The problem of marketing today is greater

than the problem of the production.

Marketing must divide a comprehensive marketing system, which would deliver (at profitable

prices) all the goods we could produce or manufactured goods would raise substantially. We

live in dynamic economy and equilibrium between supply and demand in such an economy. If

the two flows viz., goods flow(representing supply) and the money flow (representing demand)

balance each other, we have of national output, employment and income. This is an ideal and

desirable state of national economy.

CHAPTER-2

Automobile Industry History

In the year 1769, a French engineer by the name of Nicolas J. Cugnot invented the first

automobile to run on roads. This automobile, in fact, was a self-powered, three-wheeled, military

tractor that made the use of a steam engine. The range of the automobile, however, was very

brief and at the most, it could only run at a stretch for fifteen minutes. In addition, these

automobiles were not fit for the roads as the steam engines made them very heavy and large, and

required ample starting time. Oliver Evans was the first to design a steam engine driven

automobile in the U.S.

A Scotsman, Robert Anderson, was the first to invent an electric carriage between 1832 to 1839.

However, Thomas Davenport of the U.S.A. and Scotsman Robert Davidson were amongst the

first to invent more applicable automobiles, making use of non-rechargeable electric batteries in

1842. Development of roads made travelling comfortable and as a result, the short ranged,

electric battery driven automobiles were no more the best option for travelling over longer

distances.

The Automobile Industry finally came of age with Henry Ford in 1914 for the bulk production of

cars. This lead to the development of the automobile industry and it first begun in the assembly

lines of his car factory. The several methods adopted by Ford, made the new invention (that is,

the car) popular amongst the rich as well as the masses.

According the History of Automobile Industry US, dominated the automobile markets around

the globe with no notable competitors. However, after the end of the Second World War in

1945, the Automobile Industry of other technologically advanced nations such as Japan and

certain European nations gained momentum and within a very short period, beginning in the

early 1980s, the U.S Automobile Industry was flooded with foreign automobile companies,

especially those of Japan and Germany.

The current trends of the Global Automobile Industry reveal that in the developed countries the

Automobile Industries are stagnating as a result of the dropping car markets, whereas the

Automobile Industry in the developing nations, such as, India and Brazil, have been consistently

registering higher growth rates every passing year for their flourishing domestic automobile

markets.

The World Automobile Industry is turned to the developing markets.

With the developed markets almost saturated, the World Automobile Industry is now focused on

the developing markets of South America and Asia, and Eastern Europe with special emphasis

on BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China).

As per the reports of the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers or

OICA(the association of the companies involved in World Automobile Industry), for the fiscal

end in 2006, the automobile manufacturers in the U.S. have been overtaken by those in Japan, in

terms of the total volume of automobile units manufactured worldwide. However, the struggling

General Motors of the U.S. still remain the worldwide leaders of the World Automobile Industry,

ahead of the rapidly growing Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, by a substantial margin.

Automobile industry in India

Since the first car rolled out on the streets of Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1898, the Automobile

Industry of India has come a long way. With HM establishing the first automobile factory way

back in 1948, the Indian passenger vehicle industry was for long dominated by Ambassadors and

the Premier Padmini’s. Then in the year 1985, following the liberalization and various tax reliefs,

the Government of India in collaboration with Suzuki motor corporation of Japan formed Maruti

Suzuki ; a powerful alliance which changed the face of the Indian roads. The only car with the

latest technology then was the Maruti 800. It became very popular because of the low price, high

fuel efficiency and good reliability. Since then the market has grown with over 20 manufacturers

and hundreds of models and variants.

Page 5: Avinash Excat Full Project

The Indian automobile industry has matured over the years and is now highly competitive with

major Japanese, Korean, American, European and Indian companies all holding significant

market shares. Indian auto industry has become a hot destination for global auto players like

Volvo, General Motors, Daimler-Chrysler, Volkswagen, Toyota and Ford. Global players have

either entered or are eyeing India as a strategic target for future development

A well developed transportation system plays a key role in the development of an economy, and

India is no exception to it. With the growth of transportation system the Automotive Industry of

India is also growing at rapid speed, occupying an important place on the 'canvas' of Indian

economy.

Today Indian automotive industry is fully capable of producing various kinds of vehicles and can

be divided into 3 broad categories: Two-wheelers, Four-wheelers (Cars) and Heavy vehicles.

Segments of the Indian Auto market

The market for any product is normally made up of several segments. A ‘market’ after all is the

aggregate of consumers of a given product. And, consumer (the end user), who makes a market,

are of varying characteristics and buying behaviour. There are different factors contributing for

varying mind set of consumers. It is thus natural that many differing segments occur within a

market. In order to capture this heterogeneous market for any product, marketers usually divide

or disintegrate the market into a number of sub-markets/segments. This report attempts to

analyse and understands how Indian carmaker have successfully segmented the market and how

they are leveraging these segmentation to introduce new product and grow their market share.

With proper segmentation carmakers could look at the differences among the customer groups

and decide on appropriate strategies/offers for each group. These strategies then helped them in

dividing the markets for conquering them. Every buyer has individual needs, preferences,

resources and behaviours. Since it is virtually impossible to cater for every customer’s individual

characteristics, carmakers grouped customers to market segments by variables they have in

common. These common characteristics allowed developing a standardized marketing mix for all

customers in that segment.

Page 6: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

6 New Horizon College

This segmentation helped the carmaker to increase their profit by tapping the market through

adapting the offer to that segment. They brought the necessary changes in the product to suit to

the particular segment.

Consumer market segmentation

1. Geographic Segmentation.

2. Demographic Segmentation.

3. Psychographic Segmentation.

4. Behaviouristic Segmentation.

1) Geographic Segmentation

Potential customers are in a local, state, regional or national marketplace segment. Geographic

location is a major factor in segmenting target markets for automakers since their customer needs

are varied for different region.

The customers can be segmented based on:

a. Region

b. Size

c. Population density

d. Climate

2) Demographic Segmentation

In this type of segmentation, the customers are segmented based on the following factors.

a. Age (dominant factor)

b. Income & Purchasing power (dominant factor)

Page 7: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

7 New Horizon College

• Budget car segment

• Compact car segment

• Family car segment

• Premium car segment

• Super luxury segment

c. Occupation.

d. Gender (dominant factor).

e. Family Size.

f. Family life cycle.

g. Nationality.

h. Religion.

i. Education.

3) Psychographic Segmentation

Psychographic Segmentation groups customers according to their life-style and buying

psychology. Many businesses offer products based on the attitudes, beliefs and emotions of their

target market. The desire for status, enhanced appearance and more money are examples of

psychographic variables. They are the factors that influence the customers' purchasing decision.

A seller of luxury items would appeal to an individual's desire for status symbols.

Psychographic Segmentation includes variables such as:-

a. Activities

b. Interests

c. Opinions

Page 8: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

8 New Horizon College

d. Attitudes

e. Values

Activities, Interests, and Opinions surveys are one tool of measuring lifestyle.

4) Behavioral Segmentation

The primary idea in buyer behaviour segmentation is that different customer groups expect

different benefits from the same product and accordingly, they will be different in their motives

in owing it and their behaviour in buying it. Variables of buyer behaviour are:-

a. Benefit sought: - Quality / economy / service / look etc of the product.

b. Usage rate: - Heavy user / moderate user / light user of a product.

c. User status: - Regular / potential / first time user / irregular /occasional.

d. Brand Loyalty: - Hard core loyal / split loyal / shifting / switches.

e. Readiness to buy:-brand/money/need.

f. Occasion: - Holidays and occasion stimulate customer to purchase products.

g. Attitude toward offering: - Enthusiastic

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Customer satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of how products and services supplied by a

company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within

business and is part of the four of a Balanced Scorecard.

In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer satisfaction is

seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy.

However, the importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased

bargaining power.

Page 10: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

10 New Horizon College

Measuring customer satisfaction

Organizations need to retain existing customers.Measuring customer satisfaction provides an

indication of how successful the organization is at providing products and services to the

marketplace.

Measuring customer satisfaction is a relatively new concept to many companies that have been

focused exclusively on income statements and balance sheets. Companies now recognize that the

new global economy has changed things forever. Increased competition, crowded markets with

little product differentiation and years of continual sales growth followed by two decades of

flattened sales curves have indicated to today's sharp competitors that their focus must change.

The competitors who will be successful recognize that customer satisfaction is a critical strategic

weapon that can bring increased market share and increased profits.

It's no surprise to find that market leaders differ from the rest of the industry in that they're

designed to hear the voice of the customer and achieve customer satisfaction.

To be successful, companies need a customer satisfaction surveying system that meets the

following criteria:

The system must be relatively easy to design and understand.

It must be credible enough that employee performance and compensation can be attached to

the final results.

Defining customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their

expectations have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. The

Page 11: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

11 New Horizon College

achievement of customer satisfaction leads to company loyalty and product repurchase. There

are some important implications of this definition:

Because customer satisfaction is a subjective, non-quantitative state, measurement won't be

exact and will require sampling and statistical analysis.

Customer satisfaction measurement must be undertaken with an understanding of the gap

between customer expectations and attribute performance perceptions.

"Satisfaction" itself can refer to a number of different facts of the relationship with a

customer. For example, it can refer to any or all of the following:

Satisfaction with the quality of a particular product or service

Satisfaction with an ongoing business relationship

Satisfaction with the price-performance ratio of a product or service

Satisfaction because a product/service met or exceeded the customer's expectations

Each industry could add to this list according to the nature of the business and the specific

relationship with the customer. Customer satisfaction measurement variables will differ

depending on what type of satisfaction is being researched. For example, manufacturers typically

desire on-time delivery and adherence to specifications, so measures of satisfaction taken by

suppliers should include these critical variables.

Clearly defining and understanding customer satisfaction can help any company identify

opportunities for product and service innovation and serve as the basis for performance appraisal

and reward systems. It can also serve as the basis for a customer satisfaction surveying program

that can ensure that quality improvement efforts are properly focused on issues that are most

important to the customer.

Page 12: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

12 New Horizon College

Objectives of a customer satisfaction

In addition to a clear statement defining customer satisfaction, any successful surveying

program must have a clear set of objectives that once met will lead to improved performance.

The most basic objectives that should be met by any surveying program include the following:

Understanding the expectations and requirements of all your customers

Determining how well your company and its competitors are satisfying these expectations and

requirements

Developing service and product standards based on your findings

Examining trends over time in order to take action on a timely basis

Establishing priorities and standards to judge how well you've met these goals

Following India's growing openness, the arrival of new and existing models, easy availability of

finance at relatively low rate of interest and price discounts offered by the dealers and

manufacturers all have stirred the demand for vehicles and a strong growth of the Indian

automobile industry.

The data obtained from ministry of commerce and industry, shows high growth obtained since

2012- 13 in automobile production continuing in the first three quarters of the 2011-12. Annual

growth was 16.0 per cent in April-December, 2011; the growth rate in 2012-13 was 15.1 per cent

Theautomobile industry grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 per cent

between 1992 and 1997.

With investment exceeding Rs. 50,000 crore, the turnover of the automobile industry exceeded

Rs. 59,518 crore in 2005-06. Including turnover of the auto-component sector, the automotive

industry's turnover, which was above Rs. 84,000 crore in 2011-12, is estimated to have exceeded

Rs.1,00,000 crore( USD 22. 74 billion) in 2012-13.

Automobile Dealers Network in India

In terms of Car dealer networks and authorized service stations, Maruti leads the pack

with Dealer networks and workshops across the country. The other leading automobile

manufacturers are also trying to cope up and are opening their service stations and dealer

workshops in all the metros and major cities of the country. Dealers offer varying kind of

discount of finances who in turn pass it on to the customers in the form of reduced

interest rates.

Major Manufacturers in Automobile Industry

• Hyundai motors Ltd.

• General Motors India

• Ford India Ltd.

• Eicher Motors

• Bajaj Auto

• Daewoo Motors India

• Hero Motors

• Hindustan Motors

• Hyundai Motor India Ltd.

• Royal Enfield Motors

• Telco

• TVS Motors

• DC Designs

• Swaraj Mazda Ltd

Government has liberalized the norms for foreign investment and import of

technology and that appears to have benefited the automobile sector. The production

of total vehicles increased from 4.2 million in 1998- 99 to 9.7 million in 2011-12. It is

Page 14: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

14 New Horizon College

likely that the production of such vehicles will exceed 10 million in the next couple of

years.

The industry has adopted the global standards and this was manifested in the increasing

exports of the sector. After a temporary slump during 1998- 99 and 1999-00, such exports

registered robust growth rates of well over 50 per cent in 2011-12 and 2012-13 each to

exceed two and- a-half times the export figure for 2013-14

THE KEY FACTORS BEHIND THIS UPSWING

Sales incentives, introduction of new models as well as variants coupled with easy availability of

low cost finance with comfortable repayment options continued to drive demand and sales of

automobiles during the first two quarters of the current year. The risk of an increase in the

Page 15: Avinash Excat Full Project

Customer satisfaction of Hyundai

15 New Horizon College

interest rates, the impact of delayed monsoons on rural demand, and increase in the costs of

inputs such as steel are the key concerns for the players in the industry.

As the players continue to introduce new models and variants, the competition may intensify

further. The ability of the players to contain costs and focus on exports will be critical for the

performance of their respective companies.

The auto component sector has also posted significant growth of 36per cent in 2010-11, to

achieve a sales turnover of Rs.42,640crore . Further, there is a potential for higher growth due to

outsourcing activities by global automobiles giants. Today, this sector has emerged as another

sunrise sector. .

loyalty is through customer satisfaction. A satisfied customer will act as a spokesperson of the

company’s product, and bring in more buyers. So marketers have to ensure customers value
