INTRODUCTION
Retailing includes all the activities involved in selling goods and services directly to the
consumer for personal or non personal use. In other words, retailing is the sale of goods and
services to the ultimate consumer for personal, family or household use. Thus, retailing involves
more than selling tangible products. It includes every sale of goods and services to the final
consumers.
At the heart of the Indian growth story is its population, the generators of wealth both as
producers and consumers. With the largest young population in the world, retail formats such as
departmental stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty stores etc. are flourishing.
As customers taste and preferences are changing the market scenario is also changing from time
to time. It is the changing taste and preferences of the customers which has brought a change in
the market. Income level of the people has changed. Today we can see a new era in retail market
with the opening of many hyper markets, shoppers stop, malls, branded retail outlets and
specialty stores.
This study is based on the survey on customers of a hyper market named I! A"AAR. ig
a#aar came into e$istence in India since %&&'. It is a kind of market where various types of
products are available under one roof. This study is on determining the customers perceptiontowards the services offered inside the store and the satisfaction level of customers in ig a#aar
(ervice is the )sum of acts and elements that allow consumers to receive what they need or
desire from your retail establishment.) It is important for a sales associate to greet the customer
and make himself available to help the customer find whatever he needs. When a customer enters
the store, it is important that the sales associate does everything in his power to make the
customer feel welcomed, important, and make sure he leaves the store satisfied. !iving the
customer full, undivided attention and helping him find what he is looking for will contribute tothe customer*s satisfaction. +or retail store owners, it is e$tremely important to train yourself and
your staff to provide e$cellent customer service skills. y providing e$cellent customer service,

Need for the studyAt the macro level, India spends nearly %- percent of its !/ on logistics, as
compared to an average of %0 percent in developing economies. Transportation and
inventory costs constitute over 10 percent of the value added in India. Worldwide, the
logistics costs have decreased from %2.2 percent in %&&2 to %%.3 percent as a result of
better supply chain management. This is definitely scope for improvement in India for
reducing costs through a better supply chain design, inventory management operations.
With globali#ation and shortened product life cycles, the Indian industry is focusing to
reengineer their supply chain and logistics activities to achieve the competitive edge.
Indian companies are increasingly integrating their supply chains and outsourcing their
logistics and supply chain management re4uirements.
At the micro level, after decades of continuous development ,leading companies across
industries now closely match one another in most of aspects of production,
manufacturing, sales and marketing. With a lot of work already done in the areas, only a
gigantic innovation can bring about a significant change

sophistication, e$perience, business >udgment, and imagination for which there can be no
mechanical substitutes.

collection and analysis of the data. There are two types of research designs, they are
@$ploratory research design
escriptive research design
"% E&p'or"tory Rese"rch desi#$(
@$ploratory research studies are also termed as formulate research studies. The main purpose of
such studies in that of formulating a problem for more precise investigation or of developing the
working hypothesis forms an operational point of view.
b% Descriptive Rese"rch desi#$(
escriptive research is one that concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular
individual, or of a group. It is concerned with determining fre4uency with which something
occurs or how two variables vary together. 6ere the problems are defined and the solutions are
defined and the solutions are provided.

S")p'e Si+e(
A sample was re4uired for the study because the number of customers at the big ba#aar
was over -0,000 in the period of pro>ect. It is very difficult to consider the whole universeD
therefore, a representative sample si#e was selected %00 only. Although it looks to be a small
sample, keeping in view the large number of employees, it was to be limited due to time
constraint.

ata is collected from various customers through personal interaction. (pecific
4uestionnaire is prepared for collecting data. ata is collected with mere interaction and formal
discussion with different respondents. (ome other relevant information collected through
secondary data .Ade4uate and relevant data is essential for any meaningful research. It forms
the basis of the study by supporting the analysis. ata collection is of two types namely=
E%F /rimary data
E2F (econdary data.

The primary data was obtained by original information gathered for specific purpose ;guided
by 4uestionnaire to collect information from customers. The research instruments used for
collecting the primary data is through the 4uestionnaire. The 4uestionnaire was carefully
developed tested and debugged before they were administered on a large scale. The
4uestionnaire had a mi$ type of open ended, closed ended and multiple choice 4uestions. These
methods were adopted since the data which is re4uired is highly focused on
customer satisfaction.
/- Seco$d"ry d"t"((econdary sources are the other important sources through which the data
was collected. These are the readily available sources of the data where one had need not put
much effort to collected, because it is already been collected and part in an elderly manner by
some researcher, e$perts and special. The secondary data are collected through various sources

I$dustry profi'e
Ret"i'i$#0the selling of merchandise and certain services to the consumer. It ordinarily
involves the selling of individual units or small lots to large numbers of customers by a business
set up for that specific purpose. In the broadest sense, retailing can be said to have begun the first
8

time one item of value was bartered for another. In the more restricted sense of a speciali#ed,
full?time commercial activity, retailing began several thousand years ago when peddlers first
began hawking their wares and when the first marketplaces were formed. As with most other
business activities, retailing is e$tremely competitive, and the mortality rate of retail
establishments is relatively high. The basic competition is price competition, but this is
moderated somewhat by such non?price forms of competition as convenience of location,
selection and display of merchandise, attractiveness of the retail establishment itself, and
intangible factors such as reputation in the community. Bompetition for sales has led to a
blurring of traditional product lines in retailing, and many establishments offer a much wider
variety of merchandise than their basic classification would indicate Ee.g.,drugstores may carry
food, clothing, office supplies, hardware, etc.F.
The diversity of retailing is evident in the many forms this commercial activity now takes,
including vending machines, door?to?door sales, telephonesales, mail?order houses, specialty
stores, department stores, supermarkets, discount houses, and consumer cooperatives. Whatever
form it takes, however, the essence of good retailing remains the same= attractive, appropriate
merchandise offered for sale in an attractive, eye?catching manner at a reasonable price at a
convenient location.
E1OLUTION O2 RETAILIN INDUSTR! IN 3ORLD3IDE
The history of retail has included countless ways in which retailers have attempted to get their
products in front of the consumer. ut it seems that the businesses that have provided their
customers with the most convenience have generally proven to be the most successful.
+or centuries, most retail sales were made by the street vendor or the small family
owned shop, which provided their customers with the convenience of not having to grow their
own food or make their own clothes. y the mid nineteenth century, most of the goods that wefind in today*s superstores were supplied by craftsmen or local manufacturers who dealt directly
with their customers. 8eeded, not to mention that they probably had to travel all over town to get
their shopping done.

3?J is e$pected in the industry of retail in India by growth in consumerism in urban areas,
rising incomes, and a steep rise in rural consumption. (hopping in India has witnessed a
revolution with the change in the consumer buying behaviour and the whole format of
shopping also altering. Industry of retail in India which has become modern can be seen from
the fact that there are multi? stored malls, huge shopping centers, and sprawling comple$es
which offer food, shopping, and entertainment all under the same roof.
India retail industry is e$panding itself most aggressivelyD as a result a great
demand for real estate is being created. Indian retailers preferred means of e$pansion is to
e$pand to other regions and to increase the number of their outlets in a city. It is e$pected that
by 20%0, India may have L00 new shopping centers.
In the Indian retailing industry, food is the most dominating sector and is growing at
a rate of &J annually. The branded food industry is trying to enter the India retail industry and
convert Indian consumers to branded food. (ince at present L0J of the Indian grocery basket
consists of non?branded items.
India retail industry is progressing well and for this to continue retailers as
well as the Indian government will have to make a combined effort.
!lobal retail giants are also entering the retail industry in India and this is also one
of the factors in the growth of the organi#ed retail sector in India.

RETAIL TRADE 2ORMATS
The Retail Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing
merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of
merchandise. The retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise.Retailers are therefore organi#ed to sell merchandise in small 4uantities to the general public.
This sector comprises two main types of retailers=

8on store retailers
STORE RETAILERS(*
Gperate fi$ed point?of?sale locations, located and designed to attract a high
volume of walk?in customers. In general, retail stores have e$tensive displays of merchandise
and use mass?media advertising to attract customers. They typically sell merchandise to the
general public for personal or household consumption, but some also serve business and
institutional clients. These include establishments such as office supply stores, computer and
software stores, building materials dealers, plumbing supply stores and electrical supply
stores.
Batalog showrooms, gasoline service stations, automotive dealers and mobile
home dealers are treated as store retailers.
In addition to retailing merchandise, some types of store retailers are also engaged
in the provision of after?sales services, such as repair and installation. +or e$ample, new
automobile dealers, electronics and appliance stores, musical instrument and supplies stores
often provide repair services. As a general rule, establishments engaged in retailing
merchandise and providing after?sales services are classified in this sector.
NON STORE RETAILERS(*
8on?store retailers, like store retailers, are organi#ed to serve the general
public, but their retailing methods differ. The establishments of this sub sector reach
customers and market merchandise with methods, such as the broadcasting of Pinfomercials,Q
the broadcasting and publishing of direct?response advertising, the publishing of paper and
electronic catalogs, door?to?door solicitation, in?home demonstration, selling from portable
stalls Estreet vendors, e$cept foodF and distribution through vending machines. @stablishments
engaged in the direct sale Enon?storeF of products, such as home heating oil dealers and home
delivery newspaper routes are included here.
The buying of goods for resale is a characteristic of retail trade
establishments that particularly distinguishes them from establishments in the agriculture,

manufacturing and construction industries. +or e$ample, farms that sell their products at or
from the point of production are not classified in retail, but rather in agriculture. (imilarly,
establishments that both manufacture and sell their products to the general public are not
classified in retail, but rather in manufacturing.

With real estate prices escalating due to increase in demand from the Indian
organi#ed retail sector, it is posing a challenge to its growth. With Indian retailers having to
shell out more for retail space it is affecting their overall profitability in retail.
Trained manpower shortage is a challenge facing the organi#ed retail sector in
India. The Indian retailers have difficulty in finding trained person and also have to pay
more in order to retain them. This again brings down the Indian retailers profit levels.
The Indian government has allowed 1%J foreign direct investment E+IF in
the India retail sector to one?brand shops only. This has made the entry of global retail giants
to organi#ed retail sector in India difficult. This is a challenge being faced by the Indian
organi#ed retail sector.
ut the global retail giants like Tisco, Wal?9art, and 9etro A! are entering
the organi#ed retail sector in India indirectly through franchisee agreement and cash and
carry wholesale trading. 9any Indian companies are also entering the Indian organi#ed retail
sector like Reliance Industries imited, /antaloons, and harti Telecoms. ut they are facing
stiff competition from these global retail giants. As a result disco becoming accepted
practices. This too brings down the profit of the Indian retailers.
(ome of the reasons for this slow growth are=
%. Retail not being recogni#ed as an industry in India.
2. The high costs of real estate
-. 6igh stamp duty.

Indian organi#ed retail sector amounted to (K L.' billion. The opportunities in India
organi#ed retail sector can be >udged from the fact that by 20%0 it is e$pected to rise to (K

The various opportunities in the organi#ed retail sector in India are mainly there for
the Indian consumers behaviour pattern has changed. 8ow the Indian consumer gets more
hefty pay? packages, is younger, a large number of women are working, western influences,
and more disposable income have opened a lot of opportunities in Indian organi#ed retail
sector. The Indian consumer wants to shop, eat and get entertainment in one place and is have
also !iven Indian organi#ed retail sector an opportunity to grow The Indian government in

9arketing is a very important aspect in business since it contributes greatly to the success of the
organi#ation. /roduction and distribution depend largely on marketing. 9any people think that
sales and marketing are basically the same. These two concepts are different in many aspects.
9arketing covers advertising, promotions, public relations, and sales. It is the process of
introducing and promoting the product or service into the market and encourages sales from the
buying public. (ales refer to the act of buying or the actual transaction of customers purchasing
the product or service.

(trategically, the business must be centered on the customers more than the products. Although
good and 4uality products are also essential, the buying public still has their personal
preferences. If you target more of their needs, they will come back again and again and even
bring along recruits. If you push more on the product and disregard their wants and the benefits
they can get, you will lose your customers in no time. The sad thing is that getting them back is
the hardest part.
A company must invest in marketing so as not to miss the opportunity of being discovered. If
e$pense is to be considered, there are cost?effective marketing techni4ues a company can embark
on such as pay?per?click ads and blogging.

In order to con4uer the general market, marketers aim to create a brand name recognition or
product recall. This is a techni4ue for the consumers to easily associate the brand name with the
images, logo, or caption that they hear and see in the advertisements.
+or e$ample, 9conalds is known for its arch design which attracts people and identifies the
image as 9conalds. +or some companies, building a reputation to the public may take time but
there are those who easily attract the people. With an established name in the industry, a business
continues to grow and e$pand because more and more customers will purchase the products or
take advantage of the services from a reputable company

9arketing plays a very essential role in the success of a company. It educates people on the latest
market trends, helps boost a companyust be wasting on e$penses and time on a failed marketing approach.
2our .7s of M"r>eti$#
.roduct? A product is seen as an item that satisfies what a consumer needs or wants. It is a
tangible good or an intangible service. Intangible products are service based like the tourism
industry, the hotel industryand the financial industry. Tangible products are those that have an
independent physical e$istence. Typical e$amples of mass?produced, tangible ob>ects are the
motor carand the disposable ra#or. A less obvious but ubi4uitous mass produced service is a
computer operating system.
@very product is sub>ect to a life?cycleincluding a growth phase followed by a maturity phase
and finally an eventual period of decline as sales falls. 9arketers must do careful research on
how long the life cycle of the product they are marketing is likely to be and focus their attention
on different challenges that arise as the product moves through each stage.
The marketer must also consider theproduct mi$. 9arketers can e$pand the current product mi$
by increasing a certain product line*s depth or by increasing the number of product lines.
9arketers should consider how to position the product, how to e$ploit the brand, how to e$ploit

the other. The marketer must also consider product development strategies.
.rice The price is the amount a customer pays for the product. The price is very important as it
determines the company*s profit and hence, survival. Ad>usting the price has a profound impact
on the marketing strategy, and depending on theprice elasticityof the product, often it will affect
the demand and sales as well. The marketer should set a price that complements the other
elements of the marketing mi$.
When setting a price, the marketer must be aware of the customer perceived value for the
product. Three basic pricing strategies are= market skimmingpricing, marketpenetration pricing
and neutral pricing. The *reference value* Ewhere the consumer refers to the prices of competing
productsF and the *differential value* Ethe consumer*s view of this product*s attributes versus the
attributes of other productsF must be taken into account.
.ro)otio$? represents all of the methods of communication that a marketer may use to provide
information to different parties about the product. /romotion comprises elements such as=
advertising,public relations,personal sellingandsales promotion.
Advertising covers any communication that is paid for, from cinema commercials, radio and
Internet advertisements through print media and billboards. /ublic relations is where the
communication is not directly paid for and includes press releases, sponsorship deals,
e$hibitions, conferences, seminars or trade fairs and events. Word?of?mouthis any apparently
informal communication about the product by ordinary individuals, satisfied customers or people
specifically engaged to create word of mouth momentum. (ales staff often plays an important
role in word of mouth and public relations Esee *product* aboveF.
.'"ce? refers to providing the product at a place which is convenient for consumers to
access. /lace is synonymous with distribution.5arious strategies such as intensive distribution,
selective distribution, e$clusive distribution and franchising can be used by the marketer to
complement the other aspects of the marketing mi$

The research agenda on retail store e$ecution straddles three e$isting areas of
literature= %F empirical studies of retail store e$ecution, 2F literature on the relationship between
customer satisfaction and financial performance in the retail industry and -F empirical studies of
e$ecution in other industries such as retail operation and adherence of various policies in the
retail operations.
Retail store e$ecution strategies have attracted the attention of researchers in
operations management only recently, but this stream of work is most closely related to our
paper. /erhaps the first reference on retail store e$ecution is (almon E%&&F who argued that
e$ecution in retailing has become more important than other aspects of retail business Ee.g.,
merchandisingF.
e6oratius and Raman E200LF analy#e the relationship between incentives provided
to store managers and monthly sales and shrinkage across a chain of stores. They control for
store fi$ed effects, inventory, and advertising e$penditures and, as in our work, find a positive
and significant relationship between inventory and sales at the store level.
The literature on missing inventory and inventory record inaccuracy in retailing Esee
Raman et al. 200%a, 200%bF found empirically that, because of e$ecution failures, customers
often do not find the product they seek, even if these products are within the store. Raman et al.
E200%a, 200%bF report that over L1J of the inventory records at retailer !amma were inaccurate
at the store?(7 level, and that over %LJ of the inventory at retailer eta was missing from the
shelf.
Their studies report that such issues arise mainly due to store and distribution center
replenishment processes, merchandising, inventory management and employee turnover.
e6oratius and Raman E200-F outline three approaches to the inaccurate inventory problem=
prevention and elimination of root causes Eusing methods similar to the Ishikawa process of SIT
principlesF, correction and identification of errors through inspection policies, and lastly software
solutions that integrate the source of errors into the inventory management system.
In a follow?up study, Ton and Raman E200'F find that higher product variety and
inventories lead to a higher incidence of phantom stock outs Esuch that inventory is in the back
room but does not reach the shelfF and lost sales. Ton and 6uckman E2001F study the impact of
employee turnover on process conformance within retail stores and find that the negative effect

stores and supermarkets. abakus et al. E200'F link customer satisfaction to product and service
4uality within retail stores and find that product 4uality has a significant impact on store?level
profits.
To summari#e, research on customer satisfaction views employees as facilitators of
the sales process who are critical to improving the conversion ratio, by providing information to
the customers on prices, brands, and product features and by helping customers to navigate store
aisles, finding the product and even cross?selling other products.
The uni4ue feature of the retail store e$ecution problem is that it combines the factory
and the sales components, but this stream of literature focuses only on the latter. @mpirical
studies of e$ecution span other industries as well. +or e$ample, retail banking is dominated by
the sales functionD +rei and 6awker E%&&&F 4uantify the inefficiencies in process e$ecution due to
process design using ata @nvelopment Analysis. +rei et al. E%&&&F study the impact of the
aggregate process performance and process variation on the financial outcome using a sample of
%-1 bank branches. They report that process variation negatively affects financial performance.
Another prominent focus on e$ecution which takes the factory viewpoint is found in
the automotive industry. In this conte$t the role of process design and conformance has long
been debated, and the virtues of the Toyota /roduction (ystem are well documented. Womack et
al. E%&&%F show that Toyota

Recently, however, a few pioneering papers ERaman et al. 200%a, 200%b, e6oratius and Raman
200-, Ton and Raman 200', Borsten and !ruen 200-, Ton and 6uckman 2001, 5an onselaar et
al. 200LF have provided evidence of deficiencies in retail store e$ecution, suggesting that
optimi#ed plans might be severely blunted by less than perfect e$ecution.
Although these papers have focused mostly on missing inventory, inventory
record inaccuracy and inventory replenishment, it is reasonable to suspect that, given the high
level of problems with inventories, other aspects of retail e$ecution are imperfect also.
Interestingly, for many years, retailers have been administering surveys to their customers to
measure both their overall level of satisfaction and their opinion of various details of their store
e$perience.
9any of the detailed 4uestions relate to store e$ecution. +or e$ample, id you
find what you were looking for< is a commonly asked 4uestion directly related to the missing
inventory issue noted above. It is thus natural to consider using this data to better understand
issues related to store e$ecution, including what factors influence the 4uality of e$ecution and
what is the impact of e$ecution on output variables of interest to the retailer, such as sales and
overall customer satisfaction.
This paper reports a effort to do this using proprietary data
obtained from a large retail chain with over 100 stores. The data is tracked monthly at the store
level for a %3 month period and is comprised of %F financial store performance data, including
sales, number of transactions and number of units sold, 2F operational data, such as payroll,
employee turnover, and in?stock levels, and -F the results of ongoing customer satisfaction
surveys that use a variety of 4uestions to measure for a particular store visit a customer
