CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
CONSUMER PERCEPTION:
Perception is the cognitive process. In terms of S-O-B-C model, discussed in
chapter 4, perception is the cognitive process which involves the (organism) selecting,
organizing and interpreting the S (stimulus). Thus, perception is the process of selecting,
organizing, and interpreting or attaching meaning to the events happening in the environment.
Robbins has defined perception as follows.
PERCEPTION:
“Perception may be defined as a process by which individuals organizes and
interpret their sensory impression in order to give meaning to their environment”. Based on the
definition of perception, we may identify its following features.
1. Perception is the intellectual process through which a person selects the data from the
environment, organizes it, and obtains meaning from it. The physical process of obtaining
data from environment, known as sensation, is distinct from it.
2. Perception is the basic cognitive or psychological process. The manner in which a person
perceives the environment affects his behavior. Thus, people’s actions, emotions, though
us, or feelings are triggered by the perception of their surroundings.
PERCEPTUAL INPUTS:
Strictly speaking, a perceptual input in the form of stimuli is not the part of actual
perception processes though these are necessary for the occurrence of perception. Stimuli may be
in the form of objects, events, or people. Thus, everything in the setting where events occur, or
which contribute to the occurrence of events, can be termed as perceptual inputs. Further, the
characteristics of stimuli are important as these affect the extent to which the perceiver is
attracted to these which affects the selection of stimuli for perception along with other variables
affecting selection of stimuli like perceiver’s characteristics and situational variables. When the
perceiver interacts with a stimulus, sensation takes place which, we have seen earlier, starts
perception process.
PERCEPTUAL SELECTIVITY:
While discussing the perception process, we have mentioned that perception is a selective
process and as the people can sense only limited amount of information in the environment, they
are characteristically selective. By selection, certain aspects of stimuli are screened out and
others are admitted. Those which are admitted remain in the awareness of the people and those
which are screened out fall below the threshold. For example, when people read a newspaper,
they do not read the entire newspaper but only those which interest them. Similar things happen
in other cases too. This is known as perceptual selectivity.
INTERPERSONAL PERCEPTION:
The above discussion of perceptual selectivity and perceptual organization holds
true for any stimulus situation, person or others. This section puts emphasis on interpersonal
perception in which the perceiver perceives another persons and the latter becomes a stimulus for
perception. In person perception, there are many more factors which affect the correctness or
incorrectness of perception. Individuals in the organization constantly perceive one another.
Manager perceives workers; workers perceive managers; superior perceive subordinate,
subordinates perceive superiors; line people perceive staff peoples, staff people perceive line
people: and so on. In the context of person perception, Zalkind and Costello have concluded that
the characteristics of perceiver are important. Relevant characteristics of the perceiver are as
follows.
Knowing oneself makes it easier to se others correctly.
One’s own cartelistic affect the characteristics one is likely to seen others.
People who accept themselves are more likely to be able to see favorable aspects of
other people.
Accuracy in perceiving others is not a single skill.
Similarly, there are certain characteristics of the perceived which influence the person
perception. These are as follows:
The status of the person perceived will greatly influence other’s perception.
The persons being perceived are usually placed into categories to simplify the viewer’s
perceptual activities. Two common categories are status and role.
The visible traits of the person perceived will greatly influence other perception of the
person.
These characteristics of the perceiver and perceived suggest extreme complexity
in person perception. There are chances that the perception may be distorted and the
perceiver may not perceive the person correctly. Distortion in person perception may occur
because of the following factors:
Factors in perceiver
Factors in perceived.
Situational factors.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Perception is an influential phenomenon as people usually act upon their perceptions.
Perception eventually transforms into reality. The absence of a distinctly defined role of
Consumers and an amorphous perception of their roles and responsibilities in the organization
may have a downturn effect on the Consumers' morale and self-esteem. Role Perception of the
Consumers acts as one of the most critical components in the workplaces today. It also plays a
key role in an individual's performance. A misty perception of the role may also lead to
underperformance by and underutilization of the potential of the individual. Consequently, the
organization may lose not only some vital man-hours but also some of the most competent
Consumers, in the long run. It is, therefore, in the organization's interest to provide a clearly-
defined role to every Consumer as a step towards combating the ever-increasing competition in
the global milieu.
Early passive case finding and treatment compliance are the cornerstones of tuberculosis
(TB) control programs. As human behavior plays a critical role in both strategies, a better
understanding of it is important for the planning and implementation of a successful TB
programme, especially for the health education component. Our qualitative study in Uasin Gishu,
Kenya, aimed at a better understanding of the community's beliefs and perceptions of TB,
recognition of early symptoms and health-seeking behavior. Five focus groups with a total of 49
people were held: one with hospitalized TB patients, two with rural and two with urban
participants.
Tuberculosis is well known in the communities and many vernacular names for the disease exist.
TB is perceived as a contagious, ‘sensitive’ disease difficult to diagnose and treat. Community
members believe that TB should be diagnosed and treated in a hospital or by a medical doctor and
not at the periphery level. TB treatment is perceived as long, agonizing and cumbersome.
Traditional treatment is considered a valid alternative to modern treatment, believed to be as
effective and much shorter. Initial symptoms such as cough and fever are often overlooked and/or
confused with malaria or a common cold. Symptoms associated with the disease refer to the later
stage of TB. TB is attributed to causes such as smoking, alcohol, hard work, exposure to cold and
sharing with TB patients. Many participants believe TB is hereditary. Prolonged self-treatment
and consultation with the traditional health sector as well as the social stigma attached to the
disease increase patient’s delay. Only after symptoms persist for some time and/or the suspect’s
health deteriorates, are modern health services consulted. These social conditions necessitate
culturally sensitive health education, taking into account local perceptions of TB.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
To analyze the Consumer’s perception about the organizational policies and support they
derive from superiors.
To study the Consumers’ perception about their job and work environment in susee auto sales and services Pvt. Ltd.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
The study on Consumers’ perception is useful to the management for future planning and
decision making both for short term and long term.
PERIOD OF THE STUDY:
The period of the study covers from January 2008 to April 2008.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
It was difficult to meet all respondents in the unit due to the field work
constraints.
Some of the respondents are reluctant to fill up questionnaire.
Some of the respondents might have answered in a confuse manner.

new corporate identity.
In June 2012, Hero Motocorp approved a proposal to merge the investment arm of its parent
Hero Investment Pvt. Ltd. into the automaker. The decision comes after 18 months of its split
from Honda Motors
History
"Hero" is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company, Hero Cycles
Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was established in
1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited at Dharuhera, India. Munjal family and Honda group
both owned 26% stake in the Company.
During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India for their fuel
economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill it – Shut it –
Forget it' that emphasised the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the company grow at a double-
digit pace since inception. In 2001, the company became the largest two-wheeler manufacturing
company in India and globally. It maintains global industry leadership till date. The technology
in the bikes of Hero Motocorp (earlier Hero Honda) for almost 26 years (1984–2010) has come
from the Japanese counterpart Honda.

Termination of Honda joint venture
In December 2010, the board of directors of the Hero Honda Group had decided to terminate the
joint venture between Hero Group of India and Honda of Japan in a phased manner. The Hero
Group would buy out the 26% stake of the Honda in JV Hero Honda.
Under the joint venture Hero Group could not export to international markets (except Sri Lanka
and Nepal) and the termination would mean that Hero Group can now export. Since the
beginning, the Hero Group relied on their Japanese partner Honda for the technology in their
bikes. So there are concerns that the Hero Group might not be able to sustain the performance of
the joint venture alone.
The Japanese auto major will exit the joint venture through a series of offmarket transactions by
giving the Munjal family—that held a 26% stake in the company—an additional 26%. Honda,
which also has an independent fully owned twowheeler subsidiary—Honda Motorcycle and
Scooter India (HMSI)—will exit Hero Honda at a discount and get over $1 billion for its stake.
The discount will be between 30% and 50% to the current value of Honda's stake as per the price
of the stock after the market closed on Wednesday.
The rising differences between the two partners gradually emerged as an irritant. Differences had
been brewing for a few years before the split over a variety of issues, ranging from Honda's
reluctance to fully and freely share technology with Hero (despite a 10-year technology tie-up
that expires in 2014) as well as Indian partner's uneasiness over high royalty payouts to the
Japanese company. Another major irritant for Honda was the refusal of Hero Honda (mainly
managed by the Munjal family) to merge the company's spare parts business with Honda's new
fully owned subsidiary Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI).
As per the arrangement, it will be a two-leg deal. In the first part, the Munjal family, led by
Brijmohan Lal Munjal group, will form an overseas-incorporated special purpose vehicle (SPV)
to buy out Honda's entire stake, which will be backed by bridge loans. This SPV would
eventually be thrown open for private equity participation and those in the fray include Warburg
Pincus, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), TPG, Bain Capital, and Carlyle Group.
Honda will continue to provide technology to Hero Honda motorbikes until 2014 for existing as
well as future models.
