continuous encouragement, invaluable help and guidance.
These conclusions drawn are based on the observations and facts collected from
the respondents and from the various sources of secondary data. As a whole, my

INTRODUCTION
In today’s market the sales of the product is not the only way to get success, the
services and the CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION is also important. The
companies SCOOTERS INDIA LTD. are the world class companies in the three
wheeler scooters. This is the highest three wheeler selling company in India. But
the performance and the customers approach toward this company is important.
The topic “A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S
SATISFACTION” is a kind of survey that shows the performance of company.
So this shows the customers view toward the company and their problems about
the company. Here in this study, we try to analyze about the
how many people are using three-wheeler? What motivates and influence them to
buy three-wheeler? Which are the most preferable choices in three wheelers in case
of load carrier and scooters and the most recent three wheelers choice in the
market? What is their consumer attitude toward performance of three wheelers?
which influenced them and the reason to buy?
So it is helpful to me in my future reference and that’s the reason I select this topic
for my project.

HISTORY
Scooters India Limited, incorporated as a Government of India enterprise at
Lucknow, on September 7, 1972, is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 company,
situated at 16 Km milestone, South–west of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh
on NH No 25 and is well connected by road, rail and air. It is a totally integrated

a broad spectrum of conventional and non–conventional fuel driven 3–wheelers.
In 1975, company started its commercial production of scooters under the brand
name of Vijai Super for domestic market and Lambretta for the overseas market. It
added one more wheel to its product range and introduced three wheelers under the
brand name of VIKRAM/LAMBRO. However, in 1997, strategically, the company
discontinued its two–wheeler production and concentrated only on
manufacturing and marketing of three–wheelers. These three–wheelers
have become more relevant in the present socio–economic environment
as it transports goods and passengers at least cost.

10

For various reasons the company became sick and it was perceived that the
company should be wound up. The company was referred to BIFR in 1991.
The company has its own marketing network of regional sales offices all over
India, catering to customer’s requirements in the areas of sales and services. The
organization has various departments to perform different activities competently.

conveyance facilities, maintains their personal records and controls their regularity.
It also takes care of the security for the organization. Marketing & services

customer and regulates the activities in its various regional offices.
The products have a high payload capacity and efficiency. These are specially
designed and developed for local transportation. However, the generation of
Vikram runs successfully in different countries also. Their product is in demand in
various countries all over the world. Germany, Italy, Sudan, Nigeria, Nepal,
Bangladesh are few of the countries.

FUTURE AND QUALITY

32

FUTURE AND QUALITY
Past is dead and gone, we are standing on the threshold of today,
planning for the future. In the process we added one wheel, shifting the
gear from two wheeler to three wheeler and propose to add another,
entering in to the arena of four wheeler, though for a limited segment -
the segment of zero emission. The quality has moved from product to
process to people. Only good quality people can work out quality
processes and provide quality products and services.
Environment is our greatest heritage and its protection, our highest
responsibility. Green process design as also green product design has
assumed importance. Eco-design of the products and process is the task
for tomorrow. Accordingly, product development is the obsession for
future. Engineering it through various processes not only to meet but
exceed customer's expectation is the challenge.
As the 21st century is knocking at the door, the demand from people will
increase manifolds. Keeping this in view, the company has made HRD a

33

key functional area. The real asset has shifted from plant and machinery
to brands and brains. Knowledge has become the biggest value added.
Accordingly, sufficient resources have been committed to convert the
company into a learning organization, thirsty for knowledge.
Growing into a global company is not only a goal but has become
necessity as the world has turned into a global village without
boundaries and there is no place in the global village for protection.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
problem, as to how research is done scientifically. It consist of the
different methods that generally adopted by researcher to study his
research problem along with logic behind them. It is necessary for the
researcher to develop certain tests. Marketing research specifies the
information required to address these issues; designs the method for
collection information manages and implements the data collection
Process; analysis the results and communication the findings and their
implication.
Research definition:

76

“Research is careful inquiry or examination to discover new information
and relationship and to expand and to verify exiting knowledge,”
Research always starts with questions or a problem. Its purpose is to find
answer to questions through the application of the scientific method.
It is a systematic and intensive study directed towards a more complete
knowledge of the subject studies.
The following are the methods adopted for the projects:
1. The Research Design is made as per the requirements of the project.
2. For the secondary data collection, the information in the record of the
company proved to be sufficient.
3. For the primary data collection, the researcher has preferred the
survey method to the other methods.
4. In the survey method, the researcher chose to undertaken field work.
This is because there is perception that in the geographical area in which
he was to conduct the survey, better and quicker data was possible to be
collected only through direct field work.

77

5. In the field work, instead of choosing any interviews or recorded
observation, the researcher chose to incorporate all the questions in from
of a questionnaire.



RESEARCH DESIGN
“Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of investigation
conceived so as to
……… BY KERLINGER
The researcher after choosing the subject, company and the area to
conduct his research, decided to establish the theme or the important
factor upon which the entire project is to base.
At the outset, the objectives of the project were identified. Thereupon,
the conclusive research was undertaken upon consideration, the
researcher chose the statistical design as it suited the project’s
requirements. This method was warranted as he had decided to embark

78

upon a survey and the analysis and interpretation of the findings of the
surveys can only be done properly only if he chose the statistical design.
RESEARCH PROBLEM: -
To know the consumer buying behavior & awareness about the HONDA
bikes and in the minds of consumer in Malegaon city, because always
consumer say something and does something.There are many companies
manufacturing motorcycles into the market, at the same time as there
are many companies manufacturing motorcycles, idea about thinking of
customer on whether, what, how, and for whom to purchase the
motorcycle. Therefore, research is required to measure present consumer
buying behavior at the purchase of hero bike. So the researcher problem
is to identify what are the criteria that prospective customer takes into
consideration before buying the motorcycles. At the outset may be noted
that there are several ways of studying and tackling a problem. There is
no signal perfect design. The research design can be classified in to
True broad categories:
• Exploratory
• Descriptive

79

• Casual
• Exploratory research is focus on the discovery of ideas. Exploratory
research is carried out to define problems and developed hypothesis to
test later. An exploratory study is generally based on the secondary data
that are reading available. It does not have to change his focus of
direction, depending on the availability of new ideas and relationship
among variables.
• Descriptive studies are undertaken in many circumstances.
Descriptive studies can be complex, determining a high degree of
scientific skill on the part of the researcher.
• Casual research helps in determined cause and effect relationship.
Between two or more variables. The present study seeks to find out the
consumers preference towards performance of two wheelers bike. The
study also aims at findings out the drawbacks of the marketing set up of
HONDA’s two-wheeler bikes. So, this makes the study a descriptive
one.
SOURCE OF DATA
The sources of data collection methods are as follows:-

80

a) Primary data:-
The primary data is that which details we collect first time from the
market and also used first time in the research. We also say that the
information is first time in the research decision. To collect the primary
data questionnaire is prepared structure non-disguise questionnaire is
prepared.
Primary data: - Questionnaire

b) Secondary data:-
Secondary data are those data which are already collected by someone
for some purpose and are available for the present study; secondary data
are already collected by the company’s records and other library’s
books. When the secondary data are sufficient, the researcher has to be
satisfied with the primary sources of data. Secondary data can be used as
bases for comparison with primary data have been collected by
questionnaire.
Secondary data: Magazines, Newspapers, Websites, Books, E-Journals.

81

Primary data i.e. collected for the first time. It is fresh and originally
collected by the survey. I have used only primary data in calculating the
study and collect the data.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Sampling plan
Sampling is a process of obtaining. The information about the entire
population by examine a part of it .The effectiveness of the research
depends on the sample size selected for the survey purpose.
(A)Sampling Unit:-
It means “Who is to be surveyed”. Here target population is decided and
it is who are interested to purchase “Bike” and sampling frame is
developed so that everyone in the target population has known chance of
being sampled. So the survey is conducted particularly in MALEGAON
City.
(B)Sample size:-
For the purpose of proper survey, there is need of perfect research
instruments to find out sample size for more accurate result about buying
preference of bike.

82

These were 100 respondents.
(C) Sampling Method:-
A Stratified random sample is one where the population is divided in to
mutually exhaustive strata or sub-group and then a simple random is
selected within each of strata on age groups, occupation etc. It may be
noted that stratification does not means absence of randomness. Here the
researcher has used a simple random sampling method.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN:
The questionnaire has been prepared on the following lines:
• The questionnaire includes the entire relevant question so as to
provoke and elicit the data from the respondents in a brief manner.
• There are some open ended questions which are incorporated in the
questionnaire.
• The reason behind this is to get the subjective data which if otherwise
put in the form of a close ended form would not elicit the answer in a
proper form.
• The questions were able to fully cover the themes concerned.

83

Analysis of Data through statistical Tools
1. Simple percentage method
2. Correlation Analysis
3. CHI- Square Test
4. Pie diagram
5. Bar diagram


SIMPLE PERCENTAGE METHOD :-
Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentages are used in
making comparison between two or more series of data. Percentages are
used to describe relationships. Percentage can also be used to compare
the relative terms, the distribution of two (or) more series of data.
% of respondents = No. of respondents ÷ Total respondents × 100
ARITHMETIC MEAN: -
Arithmetic mean, average, or mean is the sum of all items divided by the
number of items. The weighted value mean is most frequently used in
marketing research analysis.

84

CHI- SQURE ANALYSIS:-
Chi-square test is a non- parametric test. It is used most frequently by
marketing researcher to test hypothesis. This is employed for testing
hypothesis when distribution of population is not known and when
nominal data is to be analyzed.



CORRELATION ANALYSIS: -
Correlation analysis is the statistical technique that is used to describe
not only the degree to which are variable is related to another, but also
the direction the influence. The coefficient of correlation measures the
mutual relationship between two variables. A simple correlation between
two variables only and it is usually represented.
The simple correlation indicted whether the change in one variable
influences the change in the other variable. Not that the changes may
likely to occur in both directions namely:-

85

1. The increase in one variable is accompanied by the proportionate
increase in the other variable.
2. The increase in one variable causes the proportionate decrease in the
other variable. In the first cast the variable are said to be positively
correlated, while in the second case, the variable are said to be
negatively correlated.



BAR DIGRAMS:-
Bar diagram consist of bars running either horizontally or vertically with
an individual bar for each observation. The individual bars have separate
observations and magnitudes. They serve the purpose of showing the
rate of change in continuous data. More than two series of data may be
depicted by the use of bar diagrams. The positive and negative quantities
also are demonstrated with bar diagram.
PIE DIAGRAMS:-
The pie diagram is presented in a circle dividing the chart in different

86

Components according to the need of the distinctive data. The slices of
the circle are also noted with the name and their percentage share in the
total circle of 360 degree.
The questionnaire contains 3 types of questions.
1 Open-ended question:-
It is helpful in knowing what is uppermost in the mind of the
respondents. It gives complete freedom to the respondent.


2 Dichotomous questions:-
It has only two answers in form ‘yes’ or ‘n’, ‘true’ or ‘false’, ‘use’ or ‘do
not use’. So the respondent is offered two or more choice
3 Multiple-choice questions:-
In this, the respondent is offered two or more choice.
