    Analysis Of Consumer Behavior on Bharti Airtel

    Consumer Behavior is the study of how individuals, groups and

    organization select, buy, use and dispose of goods, services ideas or

    experience to satisfy their needs and wants.

    By Philip Kotler.

    Marketer must fully understand both the theory and reality of Consumer

    Behavior. A consumer? buying behavior is influenced by cultural, social

    and personal factors. Cultural factors exert the broadest and deepest

    influence.

    Chapter-1

    1. Cultural Factors

    Culture, subculture and social class are particularly important

    influences on consumer buying behavior. Culture is the

    13/83

    Indian Institute Of Planning And Management

    In addition to cultural factors, social factors such as reference

    groups, family, and social roles and statuses affect the

    process of buying behavior.

    a) Reference Groups:

    A person? reference groups are all the groups that have a

    direct (face-to-face) or indirect influence on their attitudes or

    behavior.

    Groups having a direct influence are called membership

    groups. Some of these are primary groups with whom the

    person interact fairly continuously and informally, such as

    family, friends,neighbors, and coworkers.

    b) Family:

    The family is the most important consumer buying

    organization in society, and family members constitute the

    most influential primary reference group. We can distinguish

    between two families in the buyer? life. The family of

    orientation consists of parents and siblings. From parents a

    person acquires an orientation toward religion, politics, and

    economics and a sense of personal ambition, self-worth and

    love.

    c) Role and Status:

    A person participates in many groups family, clubs and

    organizations. Groups often are an important source of

    information and help to define norms for behavior. We can

    define a person? position in each group to which he belongs

    in terms of role and status. A role consists of the activities a

    person is expected to perform. Each role carries a status. A

    senior vice president of marketing has more status than a

    sales manager, and a sales manager has more status than an

    office clerk.

    3. Personal Factors

    A buyer? decisions are also influenced by personal

    characteristics. These include the buyer? age and stage in

    the life cycle; occupation and economical circumstances;

    personality and self-concept; and lifestyle and vales. Because

    many of the characteristics have a very direct impact on

    consumer behavior, it is important for markets to follow them

    closely.

    a) Age and stage in the life cycle

    b) Occupation and economic circumstances

    c) Personality and self-concept

    d) Lifestyle and values

    Key Psychological processes

    Indian Institute Of Planning And Management

    The starting point for understanding consumer behavior is

    the stimulus response model. Marketing and environmental

    stimuli enter the consumer? consciousness, and a set of

    psychological processes combine with certain consumer

    characteristics to result in decision processes and purchase

    and decisions. The marketer? task is to understand what

    happens in the consumer? consciousness between the arrival

    of the outside marketing stimuli and the ultimate purchase

    decisions. Four key psychological processes-

    1. Motivation

    2. Perception

    3. Learning

    4. Memory

    1Importance of the Topic to the company

    There are mainly two important Assets for any marketing

    company, i.e. customers and clients. Such companies need to

    understand the customer? behavior toward the brand they

    are marketing for. Such a Bharti Airtel Group also

    understands the same and hence study of Consumer

    Behavior is very much important for the company.

    Organization? Profile

    Chapter 2.1 INTRODUCTIONS

    Increasing competition is forcing business to pay much more

    attention to satisfying customers. Customer satisfaction, a

    business term, is a measure of how products and services

    supplied by a company meet or surpass customer

    expectations. It is seen as a key performance indicator

    within business and is part of the four perspective of a

    balanced scorecard. In a competitive market place where

    business competes for customers, customer? satisfaction is

    seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a

    PGP/FW/08-11 LCK/FW/08-11/M0031

    key element of business strategies. The reason an

    organization is interested in satisfaction of its customers is

    because customers purchase the organization? products.

    The organization is interested in retaining its existing

    customers and increasing the number of its customers.

    Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept

    and the actual manifest of the state of satisfaction will vary

    from person to person and from product to product. The

    state of satisfaction depends on the number of both

    psychological and physical variables which correlate with

    satisfaction behaviors such as returns and recommend rate.

    The level of satisfaction can also vary. Depending on other

    options the customer may have and other services against

    which the customer can compare the organization? services.

    Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care

    should be taken in the effort of quantitative measurement,

    although a large quantity of research in this area has

    recently been developed. Work done by Berry, Border

    between 1990 and 1998 defined ten ?uality Valueswhich

    influence satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry

    in 2002 and known as the ten domains of satisfaction.

    These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value,

    Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-

    departmental Teamwork, Front line Service Behaviors,

    Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors

    are emphasized for continuous improvement and

    organizational change measurement and are most often

    utilized to develop the architecture for satisfaction

    measurement as an integrated model. Work done by

    Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry between 1985 and 1988

    provides the basis for the measurement of customer

    satisfaction with a service by using the gap between the

    level, the more likely the customer is to stop buying from

    the firm. Customer Satisfaction may be measured directly

    by survey and expressed as a percentage, such as Percent

    of Customers Completely Satisfied. We have conducted a

    survey and measure the level of customer satisfaction

    among the mobile users of Up-west circle.

    4.3 Sampling Plan

    Type of sampling method adopted Stratified random sampling

    A stratified random sample is one where the population is

    divided into mutually exclusive and mutually exhaustive

    strata or sub-group and then a simple random sample is

    selected within

    each of the strata or sub-groups. Thus, for the purpose of this

    research project, the population of Pune is divided in to the

    sub-groups on the basis of their income level. And from each

    strata 10 samples are drawn or tested.

    Questionnaire Design:

    From basic aspects of measurement and meaning, we

    proceed to their application in designing the instruments for

    seeking and recording data. Data may be obtained by either

    observing or asking for them, and forms are needed for field

    used in observation and interviewing. The accuracy and

    relevancy of the data gathered depend heavily on the

    questionnaire.

    Function of questionnaires:

    Questionnaire is simply a formalized schedule to obtain and

    record specified and relevant information with tolerablePGP/FW/08-11 LCK/FW/08-11/M0031

    accuracy and completeness. In other words, it directs the

    questioning process and promotes clear and proper

    recording.

    4.6 Research Limitations:

    One must be aware of these limitations in advance so that

    one is clear about what Research can and cannotdo:

    lFirst, very many times, marketing research tends to be

    fragmentary in its approach as a result of which it

    becomes difficult to have an overall perspective in which

    a marketing problem is to be viewed and studied.

    lSecond, marketing research is criticized on the ground

    that it becomes too superficial and faulty in industry.

    SWOT ANALYSIS

    Strengths

    lThe company? name, Bharti Airtel, is the biggest

    strength and support behind the plan and it helps in

    establishing the faith of the customer.

    lAvailability of product to customer in more faster then

    other competitor. (Hand to hand).

    lThe package offered is very attractive.

    lLow initial investment.

    lLow local call rates.

    lAttractive monthly rental.

    lIf the plan is clearly conveyed to prospective customers

    they will most probably buy the product.

    lNo worthwhile competitor. B.S.N.L. is the main

    competitors but monthly rental is a big weak point for

    them.

    lThe project started in the rainy and sowing season. So

    the farmers are busy in the fields and also invested lot

    on the crop as a result they have less disposable finance

    to own the phone.

    lThe user manuals and the plan.s pamphlets are in

    English. So, it is difficult for the majority of rural

    customers to understand the plan.

    lThe phone system is battery operated and the backup is

    very small. Due to the frequent electricity failure, the

    battery is not performing well.

    lSalesmen in procuring stock and CAF waste Lot of time.

    l The features of the plan are very technical and difficult

    for the rural customer to understand.

    lChanges in the plan are not timely conveyed to the

    salesmen.

    lThe dealer is not showing his commitment towards the

    company and also the company is not providing him the

    sufficient support. For example:

    lThe stock supply is not in time.

    l The dealer is not very much interested in providing

    after sale service to customer.

    they will definitely switch to the other phone system and

    sales will fall down.

    lThe rumors are also the major threat to the business.

    Being illiterate, rumors affect the rural customers the

    most and the company? images get affected.

    lThe weak marketing activity is also the threat to the

    image. The customer is notgetting proper information

    about the plan and the dealer and the salesman are

    fooling them.

    lThe rainy season is also the threat to the sales volume

    because it becomes difficult to reach the prospective

    customer.

    lThe stock supply and the voucher availability is very

    poor so it effect the customer? faith and satisfaction.

    l In some cases, the customer? form get accepted but

    even after two months the phone is not activated, if it is

    the case of rejected form then the rejected form is not

    submitted back to the salesman.

    lChanges in the plan are not timely conveyed to the

    salesmen.

    lThe dealer doesn? give due attention to the important

    identity proof of the customer submitted to him and also

    in some cases it get misplaced. It is also the threat as it

    makes the customer to suffer.

    Technical Complaints

    lBattery discharges in short span of time.

    lReceivers are defective in majority of instruments.

    lWeak network and interference.

    lDEL already exists.
