COMPUTER INDUSTRY – AN INTRODUCTION

 

INTRODUCTION — COMPUTER INDUSTRY

 

Every one knows the time of manual working and now we have different set of

machines for the different work, it makes our work very easy and fast. In these

machines computer is Wonderful invention of the men among the different

machines and result is that today this machine is ready to beat the man mind, but

before this computer was not as it looks and works today. In the age of 1940

computer was invented by Americans for the purpose made easy the chemical

equation, which were used later on in Second World War as atom bomb, for which

equations were firstly made on computers. That time size was very big and

requires a one room space for this machine, but time to time technology

advancement and its necessity in different fields increase it utility and on the other

hand decrease in its size. Today computer is portable that we can wear it on wrist

as wristwatch. That is possible due to of the changes in the IC technology and

result is that today computer is emerged as big industry of the world. Computer

ranked as industry in the age of 1970 in USA and after that in other countries of

world, because it creates the lots of business, employment, business resource,

foreign exchange etc.

REVIEW OF EXISTING LITERATURE

To study the buying behavior it necessary to aware with the market change in few

years, because day by day the awareness of the computers is growing bind along

with that the entry of new players in the market grow rapidly. That has drastically

hits the traditional processors market and makes the many changes in the few

years. As to in the processor market the change is not only due to of competition

but along with the change of technology. To see the market changes in few years

we have to go through with the existing literature of processor market. In the

computer studies as to not of such of studies are done only of few studies were

done regarding computers and their perspectives by foreign as well as by the

foreign writers. So some of the content can be used for this study, the few studies

are used they are: -

 

     DR. S.P Joseph, “Computer and Human — Relation of IC and Blood”,

A.M.K. University, South Africa, 1998.

     Louis. E. Frenzel, “Computers — Futures Man By Man”, Parsons

Electronics, USA, 2001.

Page 19: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx

     Dr. A.K. Shiva “Computer Impact over Human lives”, Banglore

University, India, 1998.

     Mr. Arun Jain, “Customer Satisfaction Level of Intel Products”, Trainee at

INTEL, G.G.S. University, 2002.

 

The some of useful and meaningful point of existing literature for this study

are: --

                 Customers of the processors are not only interested to the price but they

pay more stress towards the advancement of technology for easy and

speedy work.

                 Computer has made greater impact over human lives rather than the other

technology invention and advancement.

                 Computer is another name of change, with that in each one or two years in

computers technology changes is not a big and new thing.

                 Initially computers only provide the limited range of services but today we

can not think any service without computers.

                 Till 1960 computers have the presence only in 5 countries around the

globe but today approx. each and every country of world have computers.

Page 20: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx

So these are the extract of the computer literature that is useful towards the

solution of buying behavior.

 

FOCUS OF STUDY

Satisfaction is a person felling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her

expectations. So this study mainly focuses on: -

                 The satisfaction level of customers the study based on the feedback

collected from the filled questionnaire.

                 Whether the customer is satisfied with the supplied product and not.

                 If customer is satisfied up to what extent and if is not satisfied why. What

is the reason behind this?

                 Factors that affect the buying behavior as well as the customer satisfaction.

                 How customer taste and preferences affects the company marketing

strategy.

Page 21: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx

                 How company is able to cater the demand and need of different target

groups.

 

FUTURE SCOPE OF STUDY

This study report has scope of understanding the different aspects of buying and

this can be used in future for further study for: --

                 To understand the future demand of consumer and dealer

                 To understand the future processor market characteristics.

                 For making of better competition strategy in changing environment.

                 Future marketing war and promotional plans decisions.

                 For the study of future buying behavior affecting factor prediction.

                 To check the customer satisfaction and brand awareness.

                 Suggestions and complaints can be considered for future products.

So, those are the points of the future scope this study, in which this study can be

used.

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY 

Page 31: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx

Though every effort was put in to make this report authentic in every sense, yet

there were few factors, which might have their influence on the final report.

Hence limitations of the study are: -

                 This study is based on the primary data and observations; hence the

probability of personal bias cannot be over rule.

                 Limited time is also a limitation due to much of the dealer and target

consumers are not to be surveyed.

                 This study is conducted only in some part of Delhi due to of limited time

constraints, so that results are confined to that area only.

                 Data could not be collected correctly as sometimes respondents did not

respond seriously to the questions an d their response may not reflect the

real picture.

                 Some times the dealers does not respond correctly due to of business time

and due to of ill mood for conversation but tries to make possible and

unbiased. Respondents, no matter, how honest they, normally do not

exhibit their attribute and this kind of study retains such limitations.

Page 32: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx

                 In-co-operation of few dealers and consumers is another limitations of the

study.

                 Major limitations number of respondent was very small which may not be

true representative of population.

CONCLUSION

                 In Delhi near about all dealers and retailer of computer hardware deals in

Intel Processor.

                 Latest Technology and speed are the first attribute of choice of consumer

and dealers.

                 All companies divides its buying behavior consumer and business buyers

in SMB unlike other competitors for facilitating the quality products and

services.

                 Dealer says if promotional activities and advertisements are to be

increased then sale can be increased.

                 Discount schemes and gifts should be introduced for big Dealers.

                 Credit period should be allowed.

Page 33: PROJECT REPORT ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR COMPUTER INDUSTRY.docx
