    O ur pro ject is divided into 2 parts: 1) problem recognition and 2) problem solution . With regard to the 1 st part our research design is exploratory study anddata collection would be secondary data collection . This is primarily becausethe pro ject we are dealing with has enough relevant information regarding its

    availability on the internet. By going through the various sites we will be in acomfortable position to gauge the market scenario.

    With regard to the 2 nd part we are using descriptive research design . In this casewe are using both primary and secondary method of data collection. This is

    because, while secondary data collection would give us an idea of the currentmarket situation, and the problems which should be taken care of, the primarydata collection would give us a fair view of the views, issues, tastes and

    preferences of both the customers and also the views from the suppliers side,which in turn will lead to a better assessment of the entire situation.

    In case of secondary data collection the source will be external, as it will bedifficult to get hold of the internal data of the various companies, moreover suchdata will be biased to some extent as they are published by the companiesthemselves, so it is better to take recourse of neutral third party external data;the medium will be internet, because of the volume of data avail able on theinternet; and database format like source and references might be used if necessary.

    With regard to the primary data collection in the problem solution stage we will be following single cross sectional design for collecting the primary data. Thisis because we will be going for data collection for only once and not at regular intervals, and we will be gathering the views of our respondents only once, andnot after regular time period.

    Research Method: Survey research conducted through personal interviews

    Questionnaire Design: Structured and Undisguised

    Mode of communication: Self-administered

    Research instruments: Questionnaire (primarily qualitative open endedquestion), DI, FG D

    Contact Method: Personally

    Decision on sample plan:

    Sampling Unit: The entire sample is divided into 5 groups:

    i) Showrooms

    ii)

    High and medium end car ownersiii) Low cost car ownersiv) O wners of 2 & 3-wheelersv) Prospective future car owners

    In some cases, like showrooms and low cost car owners the number of respondents has been kept low as it is difficult to get hold of a large number of respondents in those segments. However, in cases like high & medium end car owners, owners of 2-3 wheelers and prospective future car owners the number of respondents will be comparatively more than the above mentioned segmentsof respondents.

    Respondent Segment No. of respondents Research Technique

    Showrooms 2 DI & Questionnaire

    High & medium car owners 10 +10 DI & Questionnaire

    Low cost car owners 5 DI & Questionnaire

    O wners of 2 & 3-wheelers 5+5 DI & Questionnaire

    Prospective future car owners 10 FG D &Questionnaire

    The Questionnaire method used in this case is qualitative open ended question.In most cases we are going for DI. However, in case of prospective future car owners we are going for FG D as only in this case we are able to organize all therespondents at one place as in this case our respondents would be our classmates themselves. Primarily, our approach towards the pro ject is a

    qualitative one. However, in some cases we might use quantitative techniques if need arises.

  • 8/8/2019 1.Final Project Report

    7/32

    We are using combinations of research techniques in all the cases. This is because while DI & FG D will help us to record detailed views of therespondents, Questionnaire will help us to assess various trends among thevarious respondents on aspects which can be measured ob jectively. That will

    also help us to do inter-segmental comparisons if needed.For each of the 5 segments separate questionnaires will be prepared. However,separate questionnaires do not mean all the questionnaires will contain differentand distinct questions. There will be overlapping of questions, with everyquestionnaire having few distinct questions.

    Sampling Procedure: Non-Probability Sampling

    i) C onvenience sampling- Showrooms, Low-cost car owners & prospective future car owners

    ii) Snowball sampling- High & medium end car owners & 2-3 wheelers

    Time and Financial Viability:

    As we are armed with a constraint of time and also resources, thus it is not possible for us to deal with a huge number of respondents. Given these

    restrictions we have selected the number of respondents which we think isviable for the study. Moreover, in some cases we are interviewing ou r fellowclassmates (i.e., students of GBS) who are meeting the necessary recruitmentrequirements. This is certainly saving a lot of time on our part. Through these

    practices we are also being able to deal with the financial constraints.

    N.B.: The details given in this report are subject to modifications, as we gofurther ahead with the research work, if it is felt that those modifications

    will help us to deal better with the research work and would help us atcoming at a more coherent and concrete solution.

    We have clubbed the following 3 dichotomous questions in a combination. If therespondents answers yes in all 3 cases he will be regarded as highly value for moneyconscious ( t pe1 ); if he answers yes in any 2 cases and no in any1 case he will beregarded as value for money conscious ( t pe2 ); if he answers yes in any 1 of thequestions and no in any of the 2 cases he will be regarded as somewhat value for money

    conscious ( t

    pe3 ) and if he answers no in all the 3 cases then he will be regarded as not atall value for money conscious ( t pe4 ).

    The 3 questions are

    1. Are you sensitive you are to changing oil prices yes

    no2. Are you mileage conscious? yes

    no3. Are you planning to buy a fuel efficient car? Yes

    No

    High end In this segment, 5 respondents fall in the type4 category, 3 fall in the type3

    category

    Medium end In this segment, 1 respondent fall in the type4 category, 2 fall in the type3, 6fall in the type2 and 1 fall in the type1 category

    Low end In this segment, 1 respondent fall in the type3 category, 3 fall in the type2 and 1fall in the type1

    2-wheelers In this segment, 4 respondents fall in the type2 category and 1 fall in the type1

    3-wheelers In this segment, 3 fall in type2 and 2 fall in type1 categories

    Prospective future buyers 2 fall in type 3, 6 fall in type2 and 1 fall in type1 categories

    As far as our product is concerned, people falling in the type1, type2 and type3 categoriescan be our potential market. As we can see, most of the respondents belong to thiscategories, and thus we can say, we will be in a comfortable position if we have to gauge theviability of our target market.

    This segment deals with the extent to which the brand o f the car in f luencesthe choice o f the car:

    In this case we have used a continuous rating scale, and accordingly we have calculated the

    mean scores of the respondents from different segments to give an idea of the perceptions

    of the various segments in the market.

    High end: 7.9 (very strong influence)

    Medium end: 6.4 (strong influence)

    Low end: 4.8 (somewhat influences)

    Two wheelers: 5 (somewhat influences)

    Three wheelers: 4.2 (somewhat influences)

    Future car owners: 8 (strong influence)

    Thus we see that, in this case, all the segments are top some extent are influenced by thebrand name. Thus, it is very important for us to establish and further strengthen the brandequity of ours so that once the product is launched we are able to command a strong brandname.

    Thus from the above analysis we can say that the distributors of ultra cheap car also have afavourable attitude towards this type of cars, and thus even they will play a co -operativerole in pushing the sales of the cars which is an extremely crucial factor for success of aparticular car model.

    We can further summarise the views of the respondents from the differentsegments based on the DI n FGD that had been conducted in the followingway )

    High end car owners

    PROS 0

    1) Parking convenience 0 as they will not have to face any parking problem with the low endcars, as they occupies lesser amount of space

    2) It can be used as a spare car.

    3) More suitable for new learners, as in the first go they will not be ready to buy a high endcar.

    1 ONS 0

    1) It may dilute their prestige

    2) Lack of dependability

    Medium end car owners

    PROS 0

    1) Safety measures could be a major issue for them

    2) More mileage per litre of fuel

    1 ons 0

    1) Need more garage for parking space

    2) It could be a extra baggage for them

    5 ONS 4

    1) Shifting from 2 to 4 wheeler will be a major challenge to them- mental block

    After going through all the points it is necessary to take particular care of the short comingsthat each segment has towards the product. If the issues are not d ealt effectively then thesuccess of the car may be at s take. However, after doing the entire research it can be saidthat it will not be unwise to enter this particular market provided the issues related to theproduct and the various market segments are dealt with timely and effectively.

    Recommendations:

    1) 3 variations of model 4 This will help to cater to the various market segment and at thesame time it will not dilute the aspiration level of the different economic classes, each

    segment can go as per their financial capabilities and degree of requirements of addedbenefits.

    (i) CHEAPEST 4 Basic with power steering

    (ii) MEDIUM: Air-conditioner, Power Steering, Power Windows (in front seats)

    (iii) HIGH: -conditioner, Power Steering , Power Windows (in all four seats), Tubeless tyres,Deck, Open glass roof top

    2) 5 oming up with a SUV model of the car 4 A SUV model is one where there is an additional

    luggage keeping space at the back of the car. If we want to target the three wheelersegment then it is extremely necessary to come up with this kind of a model as thisparticular segment is only bothered about commercial usage of the vehicle. Thus, a modelcan be built where the back two seats can be removed and space can be made for goodscarriage purpose.
