General-Introduction:

Consumer:

The "consumer" is the one who consumes the goods and

services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the

economic system of a nation because in the absence of the

effective demand that emanates from them, the economy

virtually collapses. Mahatma Gandhi said a customer is the

most important visitor in our premises. He is not dependent

on us, we are on him. He is not an interruption to our work;

he is the purpose of it.

Typically when business people and economists talk

of consumers they are talking about person as consumer, an

aggregated commodity item with little individuality other

than that expressed in the buy/not-buy decision. However

there is a trend in marketing to individualize the concept.

Instead of generating broad demographic

profiles and psycho-graphic profiles of market, marketers

have started to engage in personalized marketing, permission

marketing, and mass customization.

There is increasing backlash from the public over use of the

lbel "consumer" rather than "customer", with many finding it

offensive and derogatory.

In economics, consumers are individuals or households that

"consume" goods and services generated within the economy.

Since this includes just about everyone, the term is a political

term as much as an economic term when it is used in

everyday speech. Typically when businesspeople and

economists talk of "consumers" they are talking about

person-as-consumer, an aggregated commodity item with

little individuality other than that expressed in the buy/not

buy decision. However there is a trend in marketing to

individualize the concept. Instead of generating

broad demographic and psychographic profiles of market

segments, marketers are engaging in

personalized, permission marketing, and mass customization.

In standard microeconomic theory, a consumer is assumed to

have a budget which can be spent on a range of goods and

services available on the market. Under the assumption of

rationality, the budget allocation is chosen according to

the preference of the consumer, i.e. to maximize his or

her utility function.

In time-series models of consumer behaviour, the consumer

may also invest a proportion of their budget in order to gain a

greater budget in future periods. This investment choice may

include either fixed rate interest or risk-bearing securities.

In the context of mental health, consumer is also a term

applied to describe a person living with mental illness.

Concern over the best interests of consumers has spawned

much activism, as well as incorporation of consumer

education into the school curriculum. One non-profit

publication active in consumer education is Consumer

Reports.

Within many selling companies "consumer" has come to be a

derogatory term which means a "purchaser of products who

is not very intelligent." This is in contrast to the meaning

of customer, which is defined as "an intelligent purchaser

who has power in the purchasing relationship between buyer

and seller."

Consumer Attitude:

Through the application of sociology, psychology and

demographics, marketers can begin to understand why

consumers form attitudes and make decisions to purchase.

Consumer-behaviour studies inform marketers, advertisers and

public agencies how product and service selection is influenced

by personality, perception, values and beliefs. For marketing,

these influences are studied in the context of demographics,

which includes ethnicity, age,marital status, size of family ,

income, education and employment.

Perception:

Perception is how information is collected and categorized.

Perception is affected by the amount of exposure to a

stimulus and by individual interpretation. For example, a

consumer who hears--once--that dairy herds contribute to

greenhouse gas would not take the statement seriously. If the

same consumer encountered that information often and from

many sources, then the consumer's attitude toward dairy

products might change enough to influence how often the

consumer chose yogurt as a breakfast food.

Personality:

Personality is a weak component of consumer behaviour.

Personality means a pattern of behaviour founded on an

individual's outlook and internal traits. In this use, outlook

means point-of-view and traits mean the consumer's usual

manner of responding to the environment. An example of

outlook is the effect of a recessionary economy on consumer

confidence. Examples of traits are introversion or

extroversion, ambition or complacency, aggressiveness or

timidity and compulsiveness or pragmatism. A consumer

whose decision to purchase is influenced by extroversion or

compulsiveness, might choose to be less innovative during an

economic downturn because confidence is lower.

Values:

Values are the consumer's set of standards about conduct

that arise from learned culture. A "terminal value" is a long-

term goal or role model, as when a consumer strives for a

particular lifestyle, such as healthful diet and exercise. An

"instrumental" value is a flexible and negotiable action that is

exercised daily, such as when a consumer makes a decision

to purchase either organic or nonorganic products.

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 9: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

8CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

Beliefs:

In consumer behaviour study, "beliefs" are specific beliefs

about products in the marketplace. Consumer belief is a

combination of knowledge, emotions and actual actions to

purchase or not purchase. For example, if a consumer has a

negative or prejudiced set of beliefs about Yugoslavia, then

marketing an automobile manufactured in Yugoslavia would

have to focus on changing those beliefs.

Attitude:

Consumer attitude is a combination of perceptions, values

and beliefs. The consumer must first perceive the product

and then focus values and beliefs onto the product and make

a decision to purchase or not to purchase. Beliefs are more

vulnerable to marketing than values are, because beliefs are

subject to knowledge and emotion. For example, positive

facts can inform a consumer's knowledge about automobile

manufacturing in Yugoslavia. A marketer might decide what

demographic group can best afford a Yugoslavian automobile

and then generate positive emotion by associating the

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

9CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

automobile with music toward which that demographic group

feels positive.

Consumer Behaviour:

Consumer behaviour is the study of when, why, how, and

where people do or do not buy a product. It blends elements

from psychology, sociology,

 social anthropology and economics. It attempts to

understand the buyer decision making process, both

individually and in groups. It studies characteristics of

individual consumers such as demographics and behavioural

variables in an attempt to understand people's wants. It also

tries to assess influences on the consumer from groups such

as family, friends, reference groups, and society in general.

Customer behaviour study is based on consumer buying

behavior, with the customer playing the three distinct roles of

user, payer and buyer. Relationship marketing is an

influential asset for customer behaviour analysis as it has a

keen interest in the re-discovery of the true meaning of

marketing through the re-affirmation of the importance of the

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 11: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

10CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

customer or buyer. A greater importance is also placed on

consumer retention, customer relationship management,

personalisation, customisation and one-to-one marketing.

Social functions can be categorized into social choice and

welfare functions.

Each method for vote counting is assumed as social function

but if Arrow’s possibility theorem is used for a social

function, social welfare function is achieved. Some

specifications of the social functions are decisiveness,

neutrality, anonymity, monotonicity, unanimity, homogeneity

and weak and strong Pareto optimality. No social choice

function meets these requirements in an ordinal scale

simultaneously. The most important characteristic of a social

function is identification of the interactive effect of

alternatives and creating a logical relation with the ranks.

Marketing provides services in order to satisfy customers.

Specific- Introduction:

An automobile, motorcar or car is a wheeled motor

vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries

its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify

that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to

have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four

wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 12: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

11CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

people rather than goods. The term motorcar has also been

used in the context of electrified rail systems to denote a car

which functions as a small locomotive but also provides space

for passengers and baggage.

There are approximately 600 million passenger cars

worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). Around the

world, there were more than 806 million cars and light trucks

on the road; they burn over a billion cubic meters (260 billion

US gallons) of petrol/gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The

numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China and India.

The Automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the

world and one of the fastest growing globally. India

manufactures over 11 million vehicles (including 2 wheeled

and 4 wheeled) and exports more than 1.5 million every year.

India’s passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing

industry is the seventh largest in the world, with an annual

production of more than 2.6 million units in 2009.In 2009,

India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger

cars, behind Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.

As of now, India is home to more than 40 million passenger

vehicles and more than 2.6 million cars were sold in India(an

increase of 26%), making the country the second fastest

growing automobile market in the world. According to the

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 13: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

12CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, annual car sales

are projected to increase up to 5 million vehicles by 2015 and

more than 9 million by 2020.By 2050, the country is expected

to top the world in car volumes with approximately 611

million vehicles on the nation's roads A chunk of India's car

manufacturing industry is based in and around Chennai, also

known as the "Detroit of India" with the India operations of

BMW,  Ford, Hyundai and Nissan  headquartered in the city.

Chennai accounts for 60 per cent of the country's automotive

exports.

Statement of Problem:

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 16: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

15CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

Now day marketing is characterized by capitation in every

field. There are number of products each having separate

substitutes. A manufacture has a Cleary identity what

exactly the consumer needs and what exactly the makes a

product completely satisfy his needs and then educate the

consumer effectively to create a demand for the product.

This is evident from the marketing aimed at generating

customs satisfaction as the key to satisfy organization goals.

Now a day. Hyundai price are moderate comparing to other

cars. Wherever we will develop our marketing strategy we

must improve some economical and performance of that

vehicle because if will help to the lower as well as middle

level customer to create interest to such on buying.

The modern consumer is intelligent enough to express

exactly what his requirements are and national enough to

judge the requirement of his needs. No manufacturer can

think of a company is the sale of goods rather than

production. The customer’s needs have to be carefully

considered by the manufacture if he is in the top of the

market.

This study helps to analyses the factors that influence the

consumer in selection of a two-wheeler while making a

Limitation:

Although much effort has been put to make a study more

accurate & comprehensive but some limitation cannot be

excluded they are:

1) Through Hyundai Verna has been sold all over the

country, the study is limited to Davangere city only owing to

constraints like time, money etc..

2) During the survey some respondents were hesitant to

disclose the information. Some were not serious & some

gave biased information.

3) Car being luxurious goods so, the interview is taken

only from upper middle class of the society.

4) Due to the shortage of time limit we cannot survey

entire market.

History of the Company:

Hyundai Motor India Limited was formed in 6 May 1996 by

the Hyundai Motor Company of South Korea. When Hyundai

Motor Company entered the Indian Automobile Market in 1996

the Hyundai brand was almost unknown throughout India.

During the entry of Hyundai in 1996, there were only five

major automobile manufacturers in India,

i.e. MUL, HM, PAL, TELCO and M&M. Daewoo had entered the

Indian automobile market with Cielo just three years back

while Ford, Opel and Honda had entered less than a year

back.

For more than a decade till Hyundai arrived, Maruti Suzuki had

a complete dominance and monopoly over the Passenger Cars

segment because TELCO and M&M were solely Utility and

Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers.

HMIL's first car, the Hyundai Santro was launched in 23

September 1998 and was a runaway success. Within a few

months of its inception HMIL became the second largest

automobile manufacturer and the largest automobile exporter

near Chennai boasts of the most advanced production, quality

and testing capabilities in the country. To cater to rising

demand, HMIL commissioned its second plant in February

2008, which produces an additional 300,000 units per annum,

raising HMIL’s total production capacity to 600,000 units per

annum. In continuation with its commitment to providing

Indian customers with cutting-edge global technology, HMIL

has set up a modern multi-million dollar research and

development facility in the cyber city of Hyderabad. It aims to

become a centre of excellence for automobile engineering and

ensure quick turnaround time to changing consumer needs.

As HMC’s global export hub for compact cars, HMIL is the first

automotive company in India to achieve the export of 10 lakh

cars in just over a decade. HMIL currently exports cars to

more than 110 countries across EU, Africa, Middle East, Latin

America, Asia and Australia. It has been the number one

exporter of passenger car of the country for the sixth year in a

Automobile Industry in India:

The automobile industry in India is the eleventh largest in the

world with an annual production of approximately 2 million

units. India is expected to overtake China as the world's

fastest growing car market in terms of the number of units

sold and the automotive industry is one of the fastest growing

manufacturing sectors in India. Because of its large market

(India has a population of 1.1 billion; the second largest in the

world), a low base of car ownership (7 per 1,000 people) and a

surging economy, India has become a huge attraction for car

manufacturers around the world.]

Though several major foreign automakers, like Ford, GM and

Honda, have their manufacturing bases in India, Indian

automobile market is dominated by domestic companies.

Maruti Suzuki is the largest passenger vehicle company, Tata

Motors is the largest commercial vehicle company while Hero

Honda is the largest motorcycle company in India. Other

major Indian automobile manufacturers include Mahindra &

Mahindra, Ashok Leyland and Bajaj Auto.

The automotive industry directly and indirectly employs 13

million individuals in India. The industry is valued at about US$

35 billion contributing about 3.1% of India's GDP (nominal).

India's cost-competitive auto components industry is the

second largest in the world. In addition, India's motorcycle

market is also the second largest in the world with annual

sales of about 5 million units.

HISTORY:

M.S.B ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE

Page 42: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

41CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

While automobiles were introduced to India in the late 1890's,

the manufacturing industry only took off after independence

in 1947. The protectionist economic policy of the government

gave rise in the 1950’s to the Hindustan Motors Ambassador,

based on a 1950’s Morris Oxford, and, is still ubiquitous in the

roads and highways of India. Hindustan Motors and a few

smaller manufacturers such as Premier Automobiles, Tata

Motors, Bajaj Auto, Ashok and Standard Motors held an

oligopoly until India's initial economic opening in the 1980's.

The maverick Indian politician Sanjay Gandhi championed the

need for a "people's car"; the project was realized after his

death with the launch of a state-owned firm Maruti Udyog

which quickly gained over 50% market share. The Maruti 800

became popular because of its low price, high fuel efficiency,

reliability and modern features relative to its competition at

the time. Tata Motors exported buses and trucks to niche

markets in the developing world.

The liberalization of 1991 opened the flood gates of

competition and growth which have continued up to today.

The high growth in the Indian economy has resulted in all

major international car manufacturers entering the Indian

market. General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and

others set up manufacturing plants. Rolls Royce, Bentley and

Maybach are examples of the few high end automobile

Page 43: CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

42CONSUMER ATTITUDE TOWARDS HYUNDAI-VERNA

manufacturers which entered India in the recent years. The

Tata Nano is at the lower end of the price range costing

approx US$ 2,500 and BugattiVeyron at the other with a price

tag of over US$ 2 million.

India’s love affair with the automobile is famously embodied in

the 1920’s Rolls Royce collections of the erstwhile maharajas.

The growing middle class aspires for the automobile for its

convenience and as a status symbol. Upper middle class and

wealthy car owners employ full- time chauffeurs to navigate

the aggressive and seemingly lawless traffic patterns of most

cities. The construction of expressways such as the Mumbai-

Pune expressway has opened up new touring opportunities.

The expected launch of a Formula One circuit in New Delhi is

expected to spark public enthusiasm for a motor sporting

industry.

Automobile Industry

In India there are 100 people per vehicle, while this

figure is 82 in China. It is expected that Indian

automobile industry will achieve mass motorization

status by 2014.

Industry Overview

Since the first car rolled out on the streets of Mumbai

(then Bombay) in 1898, the Automobile Industry of India

has come a long way. During its early stages the auto

industry was overlooked by the then Government and

the policies were also not favorable. The liberalization

policy and various tax reliefs by the Govt. of India in

recent years has made remarkable impacts on Indian

Automobile Industry. Indian auto industry, which is

currently growing at the pace of around 18 % per

annum, has become a hot destination for global auto

players like Volvo, General Motors and Ford.

A well developed transportation system plays a key role

in the development of an economy, and India is no

exception to it. With the growth of transportation system

the Automotive Industry of India is also growing at rapid

speed, occupying an important place on the 'canvas' of

Indian economy.

Today Indian automotive industry is fully capable of

producing various kinds of vehicles and can be divided

into 03 broad categories: Cars, two-wheelers and heavy

Suggestions

A number of suggestions have been forwarded by the

Respondents for consideration and implementation by

Hyundai Motors for the smooth marketing of its prestigious

product Verna. Prominent suggestions have been pointed out

here which are as under:

1. Adoption of new technology for improving the fuel efficiency

of Verna, from the existing level.

2. Due to defective painting of newly released vehicles, the life

of the paint has come down to the greatest extent. This takes place

at the time of water service, and this defect should be rectified.

3. After sales services provided by dealer are bit satisfactory as

expressed by several users. Hence the company has to advice the

dealers to provide better service to its customers.

4. As spare parts manufactured and distributed by other than

Hyundai Motors are not of desired quality, the company itself has

to manufacture and distribute all the spare parts for its Three

Wheelers through its own retail outlets/dealers.

5. Prompt supply of spare parts to the dealers when new

vehicles are introduced in the market.

6. Opening of authorized service centers in different parts of the

major city by the company is also suggested.

Recommendations:

Target segment: The target segments are the Business men

professors, doctors, and people working in the banks as well as the

insurance sector and small businessmen. These are the segments

that the dealer should concentrate for promoting the Hyundai

Verna car.

The target segment can also be defined based on the age

group of 35 and above years, as these are the people who have

shown keen interest in buying the car.

The income group of 10000-20000 p.m and 20000-30000 p.m

are the most likely people who would buy the car, so the dealer

should try to tap these segments of people.

As the awareness level about the Hyundai verna is well and it

is basically due to the television advertisement. One thing that is

quite noticeable is that television is the best source of awareness,

this is due to the fact that most of the people watch television.

It is advisable to the dealer to conduct a customer’s meet for

Hyundai verna; the customers of the target segment should be

contacted and invited for the meet.

Have a sales promotion campaign like the MONSOON

DHAMAKA/ BONANZA where customers are asked to fill in their

names and address and drop it in a box. The lucky customers will

get free accessories if they purchase the Verna car. This could be

arranged during the customer’s meet.

As the target segment is the business men, doctors,

professors and people working in banks and insurance sector, they

can have a demo car in the showroom premises and have people

drop in their cards and conduct lucky dip contests for the

participants.

The news paper advertisements that are given by the dealer

are not that attractive, so they have to design a more eye catchy

advertisement which not only highlights the features of the

Hyundai Verna but it also highlights the fact that it has been

awarded the “car of the year”.

As Trident Hyundai have very good infrastructure and

servicing facilities, so Trident Hyundai should make the most of it

and should highlight it in their print advertisements.

As Trident Hyundai showroom is very much visible from the

high way, so to cash upon this advantage, they should place a

bigger board or a Hoarding of the Hyundai Verna in the strategic

location in the show room.

Conclusion:

The study helped me gaining valuable insights in accessing

the market opportunity for enhancing the sale of the Hyundai

verna car. This project has been a knowledge gaining

experience for me. This study has also helped me in

understanding the automobile industry.

Hyundai Motors is one among the automobile giants in

India. It has its presence in 4 wheeler segments and has

earned popularity from the users of these vehicles. The

present project work is a study of it’s 4 wheeler Verna a

luxury vehicle applauded by most of the users as best in that

segment.

Though, Verna and Hyundai Motors have made name in

the market yet they suffer from certain limitations as pointed

out by the respondents. Again, respondents have given

certain suggestions to improve the performance and utility of

the vehicle. Therefore, it becomes necessary on the part of

Hyundai Motors to take in to consideration the suggested

measures to bring improvement in the performance of Verna.

Besides, there is a need on the part of dealer to provide

qualitative after sales service at reasonable cost, so, as to

enjoy customer loyalty and enhanced sales and profitability.

By interacting with the respondents, I have been able to

understand that understanding customers is an art and it

takes a very strong brand image for a company to retain itself

in the market. The results of the survey proved to be both

disappointing and encouraging. The respondents are well

aware of the Hyundai Verna car which is a good sign. The

Television advertisement is the major source of awareness,

the dealer must increase his advertisement and promotional

activities to create awareness among customers. The

respondents were not very positive about buying a Hyundai

Verna car, which was quite discouraging and a negative sign

for the company. Though there are many competitors in the

market for this car, the company has an advantage. But I

believe that Hyundai Verna has what it takes to become a

name to reckon with in the market and I offer my best wishes

for the same and hope that my work becomes useful for the

company.
