    1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

    Buying attitude

    Human beings, in general, are complex creatures who often do not seem even to know

    their own minds. It is seldom easy, and sometimes impossible, to generalize about human

    behaviour. Each individual is a unique product of heredity, environment and experience.

    Predicting such a strange behaviour of people is a difficult and complicated task, filled

    with uncertainties, risks, and surprises. Accurate predictions can yield vast fortunes and

    inaccurate predictions can result in the loss of millions of rupees. Today, business aroundthe world recognizes that the consumer is the king.Knowing why and how people

    consume products helps marketers to understand how to improve existing products, what

    types of products are needed in the market place, or how to attract consumers to buy their

    products. The era of liberalization, privatization and globalization has brought changes in

    society and lifestyle of people.

    Marketers can justify their existence only when they are able to understand consumer

    wants and satisfy them. The modern marketing concept for successful management of a

    firm requires marketers to consider the consumer as the focal point of their business

    activity. Although it is important for the firm to understand the buyer and accordingly

    evolve its marketing strategy, the buyer or consumer continues to be an enigma -

    sometimes responding the way the marketer wants and on other occasions just refusing to

    buy the product from the same marketer. For this reason, the buyers mind has been termed

    as a black box, which should be opened by the seller to be a successful marketer. The study

    of consumer behaviour also includes an analysis of factors that influence purchase

    decisions and product use. Understanding how consumers make purchase decisions can

    help marketing managers in several ways. For example, if a manager knows through

    research that fuel mileage is the most important attribute for a certain target market, the

    manufacturer can redesign the product to meet that criterion. If the firm cannot change the

    design in the short run, it can use promotion in an effort to change consumers decision

    making criteria. For example, an automobile manufacturer can advertise a cars

    maintenance-free features while downplaying fuel mileage.

    their original homeland borders. So, companies must rethink their marketing

    strategies instead of continuing with their existing strategy.

    1.4 INDUSTRY PROFILE

    1. History of world Automobile Industry

    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 sample starting

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

    automobile in the U.S.

    A Scotsman, Robert Anderson, was the first to invent an electric carriage

    between 1832 and 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.

    Charles Ketterings invention of the electric starter in 1912 turned the

    process of starting automobiles faster and easier at the same time, doing away with

    the hand tools. Crude oil being discovered in Texas, the automobiles driven by

    engines that ran on gasoline became even through a constant rise, in spite of the fact

    that these were less efficient than the gasoline automobiles.

    Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir was the first to invent an internal combustion

    engine that ran on petroleum and attached in to a three-wheeled carriage, and success

    fully traversed a distance of fifty miles in 1863.

    Karl Benz manufactured the first automobile (a three-wheeled car) that was

    affordable and compatible for travelling over long distances for its internal

    combustion engine that ran on gas, in 1886. Later in 1887, Gottlieb Daimler was thefirst to invent the predecessor of the modern automobile with an engine that had a

  • 7/29/2019 next page 1.docx

    5/39

    5

    vertical cylinder in addition to a gasoline driven carburetor. First building a two-

    wheeled automobile (Reitwagen), Daimler was again the first to build a four-

    wheeled automobile in 1886. The engines manufactured by Daimler were improved

    upon and these portable and fast engines made automobiles the way we see them

    today. The advanced engines turned the slow, expensive automobiles of the

    yesteryears, a thing of the past, and cars became more affordable as both the prices of

    gasoline and petroleum as well as the manufacturing costs reduced through their

    mass manufacture at the assembly lines of factories.

    Penhard and Levassor in 1889, and Peugeot in 1991 became the earliest mass

    manufacturers of the modern automobiles.

    2. World auto industry is turned to developing markets

    With developed markets almost saturated, world auto industry is now

    focused on developing markets of South America and Asia, and Eastern Europe

    with special emphasis on BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China)

    As per reports of International Organization of Motor Vehicle

    Manufacturers or OICA(the association of the companies involved in World auto

    Industry), for fiscal end in 2006, auto manufacturers in U.S. have been overtaken

    by those in Japan, in terms of total volume of auto units manufactured worldwide.

    However, struggling General Motors of U.S. still remain worldwide leaders

    of world auto industry, ahead of rapidly growing Toyota Motor Corporation of

    Japan, by a substantial margin.

    3. Measures to be Adopted by Global Leaders of World Auto Industry

    Several significant economic measures are being considered by major

    players of world auto industry in order to make a smooth entry into markets of

    developing countries, and to make a name for themselves. Effective measures

    include

    Reducing selling prices of cars manufactured in their factories

  • 7/29/2019 next page 1.docx

    6/39

    Improving levels of after-sales services to keep Respondentss satisfied

    Opening manufacturing factories in developing nation, to reduce effective costs of

    production as well as saving shipping charges, and enhancing prompt delivery of

    auto units.

    4. Auto Industry Trends

    In keeping with auto industry trends, leading automobile manufacturers are

    turning to Asian markets that appear set to grow immensely over next decade. Auto

    markets in U.S., Europe and Japan have almost matured as a result of saturation

    and appear set to decline through next decade. In contrast, auto markets spread overentire Asian continent (with exception of Japan) are constantly increasing in size

    and will be destination for most of globally leading auto manufacturers.

    Auto industry trends reveal that emerging markets of developing nations of

    Asia especially China, and India are backed by their huge population growth rate,

    to add to growth national economy of these two nations.

    Rapid growths of national economy of BRIC countries (including Brazil,

    Russia, India, and China) have enabled a growing section of population of these

    countries to purchase cars. Global surveys conducted recently reveal that within

    next ten years, these emerging auto markets will account for nearly a whopping 90

    percent of global auto sales growth. As a result of this, leading auto manufacturers

    of world are setting up factories in emerging markets, in order to serve potential

    consumers better as well as reduce manufacturing and shipping costs. In addition,

    these arrangements are enabling leading global auto manufacturers to compete withlocal auto manufacturers that were flourishing in absence of quality competition.

    Prosperity of national economy is reflected in rising per capita income of

    developing nations. Therefore, increasing gross domestic product and per capita

    income have raised purchasing ability of population that constitutes these emerging

    markets.

    As a growing percentage of population in developed nations age rapidly, in

    comparison to rest of world, these aging numbers necessitate cars to fit

    physiological change of world population.

    5. Indian Automobile Industry

    Automobile Industry in India has witnessed a tremendous growth in recent

    years and is all set to carry on the momentum in the foreseeable future. Indian

    automobile industry has come a long way since the first car ran on the streets of

    Bombay in 1898. Today, automobile sector in India is one of the key sectors of the

    economy in terms of the employment. Directly and indirectly it employs more than

    10 million people and if we add the number of people employed in the auto-

    component and auto ancillary industry then the number goes even higher.

    The automobile industry comprises of heavy vehicles (trucks, buses,

    tempos, tractors); passenger cars; and two-wheelers. Heavy vehicles section is

    dominated by Tata-Telco, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra,

    and Bajaj. The major car manufacturers in India are Hindustan Motors, Maruti

    Udyog, Fiat India Private Ltd., Ford India Ltd., General Motors India Pvt. Ltd.,

    Honda Siel Cars India Ltd., Hyundai Motors India Ltd., and Skoda India Private

    Ltd., Toyota Motors, Tata Motors etc. The dominant players in the two-wheeler

    sector are Here Honda, Bajaj, TVS, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (Pvt.) Ltd.,

    and Yamaha etc.

    In the initial years after independence Indian automobile industry was

    plagued by unfavorable government policies. All it had to offer in the passenger car

    segment was a 1940s Morris model called the Ambassador and a 1960s Suzuki-

    derived model called the Maruti 800. The automobile sector in India underwent a

    metamorphosis as a result of the liberalization policies initiated in the 1991.

    Measures such as relaxation of the foreign exchange and equity regulations,

    reduction of tariffs on imports, and refining the banking policies played a vital role

    in turning around the Indian automobile industry. Until the mid 1990s, the Indian

    auto sector consisted of just a handful of local companies. However, after the sector

    opened to foreign direct investment in 1996, global majors moved in. Automobile

    industry in India also received an unintended boost from stringent government auto

    emission regulations over the past few years. This ensured that vehicles produced

    in India conformed to the standards of the developed world.

    Indian automobile industry has matured in last few years and offers

    differentiated products for different segments of the society. It is currently making

    inroads into the rural middle class market after its inroads into the urban markets

    and rural rich. In the recent years Indian automobile sector has witnessed a slew of

    investments. India is on every major global automobile players radar. Indian

    automobile industry in also fast becomes an outsourcing hub for automobile

    companies worldwide, as indicated by the zooming automobile exports from thecountry. Today, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford and Mitsubishi have set up

    their manufacturing bases in India. Due to rapid economic growth and higher

    disposable income it is believed that the success story of the Indian automobile

    industry is not going to end soon.

    Some of the major characteristics of Indian automobile sector are:

    Second largest two-wheeler market in the world.

    Fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world.

    11th

    largest passenger car market in the world

    Expected to become the worlds third largest automobile market by

    2030, behind only China and the US.

    2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    The attitudes of consumers can have a significant effect on buying behavior. Noel (2009,

    98) defines attitudes as general, durable evaluations of attitude objects. An attitude object

    can be a person, object, advertisement or an issue that a consumer has strong feelings

    towards. Kotler and Keller (2009, 210) define attitude as a lasting favorable or unfavorablefeeling, emotion, evaluation or action tendency toward an object or idea. Attitudes can be

    extremely difficult to change because of their enduring and emotional nature.

    According to Noel (2009, 98) as well as Evans et al. (1996, 206) and Evans et al. (2006,

    68) an attitude consists of three components which are a cognitive, affective and co native

    component. Evans et al. (1996, 206) discuss that cognitive component includes things that

    a consumer knows 18 and believes about a certain topic. Noel (2009, 98) agrees that

    cognitive component is about a consumers thoughts and beliefs; it is what the consumer

    thinks about a certain topic.

    Affective component of attitudes is related to the feelings that a consumer has toward a

    certain attitude object. The feelings and emotions in the affective component emerge from

    what is known about the topic, that is, the cognitive component. (Evans et al. 1996, 206.)

    According to Noel (2009, 98) affective component is the feeling part of attitudes and it

    captures the either positive or negative overall assessment that a consumer has of a certaintopic.

    Similar to Evans et al. (1996, 206), Noel (2009, 98) states that the co native component

    includes the actions and behavioral intentions that a consumer has. Evans et al. (1996, 206)

    note that the co native component is a result of the two previous, cognitive and affective

    components.

    Kotler and Keller (2009, 210) discuss that attitudes are formed through experience and

    learning and that attitudes influence buying behavior. Noel (2009, 99) notes that some

  • 7/29/2019 next page 1.docx

    13/39

    13

    attitudes may also be formed based on research; a consumer may read reviews about an

    interesting product and discuss it with his or her friends and form an attitude based on the

    acquired information. Attitudes may also be formed through feelings. Consumers might

    form an attitude toward a product by experiencing it.
