Consumer Behaviour
Definition:
According to the American Marketing Association, Consumer Behaviour is
defined as "the dynamic interaction of affect and cognition, behaviour, and environmental
events by which human beings conduct the exchange aspects of their lives."
More generally, Consumer Behaviour is the psychology behind Marketing and
the behaviour of consumers in the Marketing environment.
Cognitive Psychology and Social Psychology are the two major psychological
disciplines ofConsumer Behaviour.
Cognitive Psychology is the study of mental behaviours. The Attention,
Perception, Comprehension, and Decision Making are the various aspects of cognitive
psychology that play an important role inConsumer Behaviour.
Social Psychology is the study of the manner in which the personality, attitudes,
motivations, and behaviors of the individual influence are influences by social groups.
Today, many brand marketers and advertisement agencies believe that one-to-one
marketing is a key ingredient in the marketing mix. They share the opinion that adding a
large dose of up close and personal interaction sparks consumer behaviour.
Consumer behaviour Study of how people behave when obtaining, using, and
disposing ofproducts and services. Consumerjury test a method of testing advertisementsthat involves asking consumers to compare, rank, and otherwise evaluate the advertisement

TYPES OF BUYING-DECISION
BEHAVIOURConsumer decision making varies with the type of buying decision. The decisions to buy
shampoo, a cricket bat, a digital television, a new car are all very different. Complex and
expensive purchases are likely to involve more buyer deliberation and more participants.
It consist of four different buying behaviour, i.e. Complex buying behaviour,
Dissonance-Reducing buying behaviour, Habitual buying behaviour, and Variety-Seeking
buying behaviour.

Complex Buying Behaviour:Complex buying behaviour involves three steps. First, the buyer develops beliefsabout
the product. Second, he or she develops attitudes about the product. Third, he or she makes a
thoughtful choice. Consumers engage in complex buying behaviour when they are highly
involved in purchases and aware of significant differences among brands. This is usually the
case when the product is expensive, bought infrequently, risky, and highly self-expensive.
Dissonance-Reducing Buying Behaviour:Sometimes the consumer is highly involved in a purchase but sees little difference in
brand. The high involvement is based on the fact that the purchase is very expensive,
infrequent, and risky. If the consumer finds quality differences in the brands, he or she might
go for the higher price. If the consumer finds little difference, he or she might simply buy on
price or convenience.
Habitual Buying Behaviour:It occurs under the conditions of low consumer involvement and little significant
brand difference. They simply go to store and reach for a brand. If they keep reaching for the
same brand, it is out of habit rather than strong brand loyalty. Consumers appear to have low
involvement most low-cost, frequently purchased products.
Variety-Seeking Buying Behaviour:Consumer undertakes variety-seeking buying behaviour in situations characterized by
low involvement but significant brand differences. Here, consumers often do a lot of brand
switching. Brand switching occurs for the sake of variety rather than dissatisfaction.

The buyer decision processThe buyer decision process consists of five stages: need recognition, information search,
evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. Clearly, the
buying process starts long before actual purchase and continues long after. Marketers need to
focus on the entire buying process rather than on just the purchase decision.
The figure implies that consumers pass through all five stages with every purchase. But in
more routine purchases, consumers often skip or reverse some of these stages.

Need Recognition:
The buying process starts with need recognitionthe buyer recognizes a problem or
need. The need can be triggered by internal stimuli when one of the persons normal need
hunger, thirst, sexrises to a level high enough to become a drive. A need can also be
triggered by external stimuli.
Information Search:An interested consumer may or may not search for more information. If the
consumers drive is strong and satisfying product is near at hand, the consumer is likely to
buy it then. If not, the consumer may store the need is memory or undertake aninformation
search related to the need.
Evaluation ofAlternatives:The marketer needs to know about alternative evaluationthat is, how the consumer
processes information to arrive at brand choices. Unfortunately, consumers do not use a
simple and single evaluation process in all buying situations.
Purchase Decision:In the evaluation stage, the consumer ranks brands and forms purchase intentions.
Generally, the consumers purchase decision will be to buy the most preferred brand, but two
factors can come between the purchase intention and purchase decision. The first factor is
attitudes of others, the second factor is unexpected situational factor.
Post-Purchase Behaviour:The marketers job does not end when the product bought. After purchasing the
product, the consumer will be satisfied or dissatisfied and will engage in post purchase
behavior of interest to the marketer. If the product falls short of expectations, the customer is
disappointed; if it meets expectations, the consumer is satisfied; if it exceeds expectations, the
consumer is delighted.

Factors influencing consumer behaviour
Consumers do not make their decisions in a
vacuum. Their purchases are highly influenced by
cultural, social, personal, and psychological
factors. For the most part, they are non
controllable by the marketer but must be taken in
to account. We want to examine the influence of
each factor on a buyers behavior.
PersonalF
actors:The buyers decisions are influenced by personal factors such as the buyers age, life-cycle
stage, occupation, economic circumstances, life style, and personality.
Age: people change the goods and services they buy over their life times. Tastes in food,
clothes, furniture, and recreation are often age related.
Life cycle: the stage through which families might pass as they mature over a time.
Marketers often define their target market in terms of life cycle stage and develop appropriate
products and marketing plan for each stage. Traditional family life cycle stages include young
singles and married couple with children. Non traditional stages such as unmarried couples,
singles, marring later in life, childless couple, same sex couples, single parents, extended
parents and others.
Occupation: A persons occupation affects the goods and services bought. Marketers try
to identify the occupational groups that have an above average interest in their products and
services. A company can even specialize in marking products needed by a given occupational
group.

Economic circumstances: A persons economic circumstances will affect economic
choice. Marketers of income-sensitive goods watch trends in personal income, savings, and
interest rates. If economic indicators point to a recession, marketers can take steps to
redesign, reposition, and reprice their products closely.
Lifestyle:People coming from the same subculture, social class, and occupation may have
quite different lifestyles. Lifestyle is a persons pattern of living as expressed in his or her
psychographics. Lifestyle captures something more than the persons social class or
personality.
Psychological factors:
A persons buying choices are influenced by for major psychological factors-motivation, perception, learning, beliefs and attitudes.
Motivation:A person has many needs at any given time. Some needs are biogenic; they
arise from psychological states of tension such as hunger, thirst, or discomfort. Others are
psychogenic; they arise from psychological states of tension such as need of recognition,
esteem, or belonging. A need becomes a motive when it is aroused to a sufficient level of
intensity. A motive is a need that is sufficiently pressing to drive the person to act.
Perception:A motivated person is ready to act. Perception is the process of selecting,
organizing and interpreting information inputs to produce meaning.Perception depends not
only on the physical stimuli, but also on the stimulis relation to the surrounding field and on
conditions within the individual. The key point is that Perception can vary widely among
individuals exposed to the same reality.
Learning: When person act, they learn. Learning involves changes in an individuals
behavior arising from experience. Most human behavior is learned. Learning theorists believethat Learning is produced through the inter play of derives, stimuli, cues, responses, and
reinforcement.

Beliefs and Attitudes: Through doing and learning, people acquire beliefs and
attitudes. This in turn influences buying behavior. A belief is a descriptive though that a
person holds about something. Peoples beliefs about a product their buying decisions.
Individual learns attitudes through experience and interaction with other people.
Consumer attitudes toward a firm and its products greatly influence the success or failure of
the firm's marketing strategy.
Social Factors:
Consumer wants, learning, motives etc. are influenced by opinion leaders, person's family,
reference groups, and social class.
Opinion leaders: An opinion leader is the person in informal, product-relatedcommunication who offers advice or information about a specific product, suchas which of
several brands is best or how a particular product may be used.
Roles and Family Influences: Role...things you should do based on the
expectations of you from your position within a group. People have many roles. Husband,
father, employer, etc. Individuals role are continuing to change therefore marketers must
continue to update information.
Family is the most basic group a person belongs to. Marketers must understand:
o that many family decisions are made by the family unit
o consumer behavior starts in the family unit
o family roles and preferences are the model for children's future family
o family buying decisions are a mixture of family interactions and individual
decision making
o family acts an interpreter of social and cultural values for the individual.

Reference Groups: Individual identifies with the group to the extent that he takes on
many of the values, attitudes or behaviours of the group members. Families, friends,
sororities, civic and professional organizations. Any group that has a positive or negative
influence on a persons attitude and behaviour.
The degree to which a reference group will affect a purchase decision depends on an
individuals susceptibility to reference group influence and the strength of his/her
involvement with the group.
Social Class: An open group of individuals who have similar social rank. Social class
influences many aspects of our lives. Social class determines to some extent, the types,
quality, and quantity of products that a person buys or uses. Lower class people tend to stay
close to home when shopping, do not engage in much pre-purchase information gathering.
Family, reference groups and social classes are all social influences on consumer behaviour.
All operate within a larger culture
Cultural factors:
Cultural factors exert a broad and deep influence on consumer behaviour. The marketer needs
to understand the role played by the buyers culture and subculture.
Culture:Culture is the set of basic values, perceptions, wants, and behaviors learned by a
member of society from family and other important institutions.
Every group or society has a culture, and Cultural influences on buying behavior may
vary greatly from country to country. International marketers must understand the culture in
each International market and adapt their marketing strategies accordingly.
Sub-culture: Culture refers to the set of values, ideas, and attitudes that are accepted by
a homogenous group of people and transmitted to the next generation. Culture also
determines what is acceptable with product advertising. Culture determines what people
wear, eat, reside and travel. Cultural values in our country good health, education,
individualism and freedom.

Culture can be divided into subcultures:
o geographic regions
o Human characteristics such as age and ethnic background.
Culture affects what people buy, how they buy and when they buy.
Understanding Consumer Buying Behavior offers consumers greater satisfaction. We
must assume that the company has adopted the Marketing Concept and are consumer
oriented.

SCENARIO OF INDIAN AUTOMOBILE
During early 60s & 70s, automobiles came largely in twos.In scooters, you had a Lambretta or a Vespa.In motorcycles, you had a Bullet or a Java.In cars, you had to choose between an Ambassador and a Fiat.In trucks, it was either an AshokLeyland or a Tata.In tractors, it was between a Swaraj and a Mahindra.
This situation reflected the India of yester years.Economic reforms and deregulation have transformed that scene. Automobileindustry has written a new inspirational tale. It is a tale of exciting multiplicity,
unparalleled growth and amusing consumer experience all within a few years.India has already become one of the fastest growing automobile markets in theworld. This is a tribute to leaders and managers in the industry and, equally topolicy planners. The automobile industry has the opportunity to go beyond thisremarkable achievement. It is standing on the doorsteps of a quantum leap.
The Indian automobile industry is going through atechnological change where each firm is engaged in changing its processes andtechnologies to maintain the competitive advantage and provide customers withthe optimized products and services. Starting from the two wheelers, trucks, and
tractors to the multi utility vehicles, commercial vehicles and the luxuryvehicles, the Indian automobile industry has achieved splendid achievement inthe recent years.
The opportunity is staring in your face. It comes only once. Ifyou miss it, you will not get it again
On the canvas of the Indian economy, auto industry maintains ahigh-flying place. Due to its deep frontward and rearward linkages with severalkey segments of the economy, automobile industry has a strong multiplier effectand is capable of being the driver of economic growth. A sound transportation
system plays an essential role in the countrys rapid economic and industrialdevelopment. The well-developed Indian automotive industry skillfully fulfils
this catalytic role by producing a wide variety of vehicles: passenger cars, light,medium and heavy commercial vehicles, multi-utility vehicles such as jeeps,scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, three wheelers, tractors etc.

Eye-Catching FDI Destination INDIA!
India is on the peak of the Foreign Direct Investment wave. FDI flows intoIndia trebled from $6 billion in 2004-05 to $19 billion in 2006-07 and areexpected to quadruple to $25 billion in 2007-08. By AT Kearney's FDI
Confidence Index 2006, India is the second most attractive FDI destination afterChina, pushing the US to the third position. It is commonly believed that soonIndia will catch up with China. This may also happen as China attempts to coolthe economy and its protectionism measures that are eclipsing the MiddleKingdom's attractiveness. With rising wages and high land prices in the easternregions, China may be losing its edge as a low-cost manufacturing hub. Indiaseems to be the natural choice.
India is up-and-coming a significant manufacturer, especially of electrical andelectronic equipment, automobiles and auto-parts. During 2000-2005 of the
totalF
DI
inflow, electrical and electronic (including computer software) andautomobile accounted for 13.7 per cent and 8.4 per cent respectively.
In services sectors, the lead players are the US, Singapore and the UK. During
2000-2005, the total investment from these three countries accounted for about40 per cent of the FDI in the services sector. In automobiles, the key player isJapan. During 2000-2005, Japan accounted for about 41 per cent of the totalFDI in automobile, surpassing all its competitors by a big margin. India's vastdomestic market and the large pool of technically skilled manpower were themagnetism for the foreign investors. Hitherto, known for knowledge-basedindustries, India is emerging a powerhouse of conventional manufacturing too.The manufacturing sector in the Index forIndustrial Production has grown at anannual rate of over 9 per cent over the last three years. Korean auto-makersthinkIndia is a better destination than China. Though China provides a biggermarket for automobiles, India offers a potential for higher growth. Clearly,manufacturing and service-led growth and the increasing consumerisationmakes India one of the most important destinations forFDI.
Automotive Mission Plan 2016
The bumper-to-bumper traffic of global automobile biggies on the passage to
India has finally made government sit up and take notice. In a bid to drivegreater investments into the sector, ministry of heavy industries has decided to
put together a 10-year mission plan to make India a global hub for automotiveindustry.

for auto components and auto engineering design, rivaling Thailand. Germanauto-maker Volkswagen AG, too, is looking to enterIndia.
India is expected to be the small car hub for Japanese majorToyota. The car, a hot hatch like the Swift or Getz is likely to be exported to
markets like Brazil and other Asian countries. This global car is crucial forToyota, which is looking to improve its sales in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India,China) markets.
Two multi-national car majors Suzuki MotorCorporation of
Japan and Hyundai MotorCompany of Korea have indicated that theirmanufacturing facilities will be used as a global source for small cars. The spurtin in-house product development skills and the uniquely high concentration ofsmall cars will influence the country's ability to become a sourcing hub for sub-compact cars.
A heartening feature of the changing automobile scene in India over thepast five years is the newfound success and confidence of domesticmanufacturers. They are no longer afraid of competition from the international
auto majors.
For instance, today, Tata Motor's Indigo leads the popular customercategory, while its Indica is neck-to-neck with Hyundai's Santro in the race forthe top-slot in the B category. Meanwhile M&M's Scorpio has beaten back thechallenge from Toyota's Qualis to lead the SUV segment. Similarly, a fewIndian winners have emerged in the motorbike market the 150 and 180 cc
Pulsar from Bajaj and 110 cc Victor from the TVS stable. The 93 cc Bike fromBajaj and 110 cc Freedom bike from LML have also emerged as winners.
Evidently, Indian players have learnt from past mistakesand developed the skills to build cheaper automobiles using `appropriate'technologies. TVS, for instance, paid an overseas source $100,000 to fine-tunehome-grown engines rather than $1.5 million to import the entire engine.Similarly, M&M adapted available systems and off-the-shelf components fromglobal suppliers to keep costs down and go for aggressive pricing. True, Indianplayers are still lacking in scale of operation.
While economies of scale no doubt play an important rolein the auto sector, a few Indian manufacturers relied on innovation rather thanscale of operation for competitive advantage. For instance, Sundram Fastenerswas able to achieve the feat of directly supplying radiator caps to GeneralMotors purely on the strength of innovation in product quality.

The domestic tooling industry bagged the order for the Toyota Kirloskartransmission plant in the face of stiff competition from multinationalcorporations. The cost of the entire job turned out to be only a fraction of the
original estimate.
As the automobile industry has matured over the past decade, the autocomponents industry has also grown at a rapid pace and is fast achieving globalcompetitiveness both in terms of cost and quality.
In fact, industry observers believe that while the automobile
market will grow at a measured pace, the components industry is poised for atake-off. For it is among the handful of industries where India has a distinctcompetitive advantage. International automobile majors, such as Hyundai, Ford,Toyota and GM, which set up their bases in India in the 1990s, persuaded someof their overseas component suppliers to set up manufacturing facilities in India.
Consequently, the value of cumulative output of the auto components industryrose rapidly to Rs 30,640 crore at end-2003-04 from just Rs 11,475 crore in1996-97. Foreign companies such as Delphi, which followed General Motors in
1995, and Visteon, that followed Ford Motors in 1998, soon realised thesubstantial cost advantage of manufacturing components in India.
Finding the cost lower by about 30 per cent, they began exploringthe possibility of exporting back these low-cost, high-quality components totheir global factories and, thus, reducing their overall costs. Not surprisingly,the industry's exports registered a more than four-fold jump to Rs 4,800 crore in
2003-04 from just Rs 1,033 crore in 1996-97.
Automobile majors such as Maruti Udyog, Toyota,Hyundai have now finalised their plans to invest in some of the critical autocomponents. According to the Automotive Component ManufacturersAssociation ofIndia (ACMA) officials, auto component manufacturers areexpected to invest about Rs 10,000 crore over the next five years at the rate ofRs 2,000 crore per annum.
According to analysts, the auto component industry could
emerge as the next success story after software, pharmaceuticals, BPO andtextiles. The size of the global auto component industry is estimated at $1trillion and is set to grow further. Against this backdrop, McKinsey's latestreport has estimated that the sector has the potential of increasing its exports to$25 billion by 2015 from $1.1 billion in 2004.

TVS Motor Bags Deming Award For Quality Mgmt
Chennai,November 2:: TVSMotorCompany (TVSMC) has been awarded the
prestigious Deming award by the Union of Japanese Scientist and Engineers forachieving distinctive performance improvement through the application of total
quality management. TVSMC is the first two-wheeler company in the world toget the award. Industry considers the Deming award as equivalent to the Nobelprize in the field of quality.
In another feather on TVSMCs cap, its parent, Sundaram Clayton Ltd (SCL)has been awarded the Japan Quality Medal by the Union for its brakes division.This division had won the Deming award in 1998 and the current award is inrecognition of its achievement in its total quality management practices. SCL is
only the second company outside Japan to win the award, and the first one inthe country.
With the latest award, the TVS group has hit a hat trick. Earlier, SCL andSundaram Brake Linings were awarded the prize. So far only TVS groupcompanies have bagged this prestigious award in the country.
There is a strong resemblance of the quality awards requirements to the TVS
way of life. These quality principles were in force when the TVS group founderhad been operating a 400-strong bus fleet in the early 1900s before theirnationalisation, says SCL and TVSMC managing director Venu Srinivasan.
There is no instant mantra or extra effort that can prepare one for such anexamination (required for the award), except the arduous and diligent process ofconsistently applying the process of TQM over a long period in every facet ofoperation, he explains. For the group, the journey towards the awards began ina crisis period. During the early 1980s, the recession and increased competitionhad led to a drop in the market share and profitability ofSCL. The company
embraced the quality mantra, which helped boost profit, besides improvingquality, recalls SCL president C Narasimhan.
TVSMC was plagued by problems after acquisition ofSCLs moped division bythe erstwhile Ind Suzuki in 1987. There was an incompatibility in theorganisational structure, high fixed cost, poor financials and low morale amongthe workforce. The quality journey helped turnaround the fortunes, says TVSMCpresident CP Raman

Some specialize in areas such as personnel,marketing, production, finance, or project management, while others are generalmanagers, applying management skills across all business areas. Very few jobsare entirely managerial, and very few exist without any managementresponsibilities. It is the capability to harness resources that largelydistinguishes a manager from a non-manager.
Roles of a manager:
