ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

INTRODUCTION
An Overview Of Consumer Satisfaction & Buying Behavior
Consumer Satisfaction & Buying behavior refers to the mental and emotional process and the
observable behavior of consumers during searching, purchasing and post consumption of a
product or service.
Consumer Satisfaction & Buying behavior involves study of how people buy, what they buy,
when they buy and why they buy. It blends the elements from psychology, sociology,
sociopsychology, anthropology and economics. It also tries to assess the influence on the
consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups and society in general.
Buyer behavior has two aspects: the final purchase activity visible to any observer and the
detailed or short decision process that may involve the interplay of a number of complex
variables not visible to anyone.
Factors Affecting Consumer Satisfaction & Buying Behaviour: Consumer buying
behaviour is influenced by the major three factors:
1. Social Factors
2. Psychological Factors
3. Personal Factors.
Social Factors
Social factors refer to forces that other people exert and which affect consumers
purchase behaviour. These social factors can include culture and subculture, roles and family,
social class and reference groups.
Psychological Factors
These are internal to an individual and generate forces within that influence her/his
purchase behaviour. The major forces include motives, perception, learning, attitude and
personality.

Personal Factors
These include those aspects that are unique to a person and influence purchase behavior.
These factors include demographic factors, lifestyle, and situational factors.
Definition:
Consumer buying decision process is the processes undertaken by consumer in regard
to a potential market transaction before, during and after the purchase of a product or service.
Consumer decision making process generally involves five stages:

Need
Search
Recognition
Need
Information

Purchase

Alternative
Post
Recognition
Action
Evaluation
Purchase
Purchase decision making process begins when a buyer becomes aware of an

unsatisfied need or problem. This is the vital stage in buying decision process, because
without recognizing the need or want, an individual would not seek to buy goods or service.
There are several situations that can cause problem recognition, these include:

Depletion of stock
Dissatisfaction with goods in stock
Environmental Changes
Change in Financial Situation
Marketer Initiated Activities

Example:
When a person recognizes that he/she is having a difficulty that he/she is not able to
travel with his/her family member. Then recognizes that his/her must have car and needs to
buy a new car.
Information Search

After the consumer has recognized the need, he / she will trying to find the means to
solve that need. First he will recall how he used to solve such kind of a problem in the past,
this is called nominal decision making. Secondly, a consumer will try to solve the problem by
asking a friend or goes to the market to seek advice for which product will best serve his
need, this is called limited decision making.
Sources of information include:

Personal sources
Commercial Sources
Public sources
Personal experience

Example: (continuing from previous)


The person after recognizing that his/her need, he/she will eventually try to find
out how he/she can purchase the car. If he/she cannot make a decision his/herself then he/she
will ask a friend to help out, if the friend do not have sufficient knowledge, he/she would go
to automobile showroom of a different different company and try to get adequate information
regarding price, feature, performance and after sale service.

THEORATICAL BACKGOUND
What is Customer Satisfaction?
Everyone knows what satisfaction is, until asked to give a definition' Then, it seems
nobody knows. This quote from Richard L. Oliver, respected expert and longtime writer and
researcher on the topic of customer satisfaction, expresses the challenge of defining this most
basic of customer concepts. Building from previous definitions' Oliver offers his own formal
definition:
Satisfaction is the consumer's fulfillment response. It is a judgment that a product or
service feature, or the product or service itself, provides a pleasurable level of consumptionrelated fulfillment.
In less technical terms, we translate this definition to mean that satisfactorily is the
customers' evaluation of a product or service in terms of whether that product or service has
met their needs and expectations. Failure to meet needs and expectations is assumed to result
in dissatisfaction with the product or service
In addition to a sense of fulfillment in the knowledge that one's needs have been
met, satisfaction can also be related to other types of feelings, depending on the particular
context or type of service. For example, satisfaction can be viewed as contentment-more. of
21 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

a passive response that consumers may associate with services they don't think a lot about or
services that they receive routinely over time' Satisfaction may also be associated with
feelings of pleasure for services that make the consumer feel good or are associated with a
sense of happiness. For those services that really surprise the consumer in a positive way,
satisfaction may mean delight. And in some situations, where the removal of a negative leads
to satisfaction, the consumer may associate a sense of relief with satisfaction.
It is also important to recognize that although we tend to measure consumer
satisfaction at a particular point in time as if it were static, satisfaction is a dynamic, moving
target that may evolve over time, influenced by a variety of factors. Particularly when
product usage or the service experience takes place over time, satisfaction maybe rightly
variable depending on which point in the usage or experience cycle one is focusing on.
Similarly, in the case of very new services or a service not previously experienced, customer
expectations may be barely forming at the point of initial purchase, these expectations will
solidify as the process unfolds and the consumer begins to form his or her perceptions.
Through the service cycle the consumer may have a variety of different experiences, some
good, some not good-and each will ultimately impact satisfaction.
What Determines Customer Satisfaction?
Customer satisfaction is influenced by specific product or service features and by
perceptions Of quality as suggested by Figure 4.1. Satisfaction is also influenced by
customers' emotional responses, their attributions, and their perceptions of equity.
Product and Service Features
Customer satisfaction with a product or service is influenced significantly by the
customer's evaluation of product and services features. For a service such as a resort hotel,
important features might include the pool area, access to golf facilities, restaurants, room
comfort and privacy, helpfulness, and courtesy of staff, room price, and so forth. In

22 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

conducting satisfaction, studies, most firms will determine through some means (often focus
groups) what the important features and attributes are for their service and then measure
perceptions of those features as well as overall service satisfaction. Research has shown that
customers of services will make trade-offs among different service features (for example,
price level versus quality, versus friendliness of personnel versus level of customization),
depending on the type of service being evaluated and the criticality of the service.
Consumer Emotions
Customers' emotions can also affect their perceptions of satisfaction -with products
and services. These emotions can be stable, preexisting emotions-for example, mood state or
life satisfaction. Think of times when you are a very happy stage in your life (such as when
you are on vacation), and your good, happy mood and positive frame of mind have
influenced how you feel about the services you experience. Alternatively, when you are in a
bad mood your negative feelings may carry over into how you respond to services, causing
you to overreact or respond negatively to any little problem.
Specific emotions may also be induced by the consumption experience itself,
influencing a consumer's satisfaction with the service. Research done in a river-rafting
context showed that the river guides had a strong effect on their customers' emotional
responses to the trip and that those feelings (both positive and negative) were linked to
overall trip satisfaction. positive emotions such has, happiness pleasure, elation, and a sense
of warm-heartedness enhanced customers' satisfaction with the rafting trip. In turn, negative
emotions such as sadness, sorrow, regret, and anger led to diminished customer satisfaction.
Overall, in the rafting context, positive emotions had a stronger effect than negative ones.
Similar effects of emotions on satisfaction were found in a Finnish study that looked at
consumers' satisfaction with a government labor bureau, service.l6 In that study, negative
emotions including anger, depression, guilt, and humiliation had astrong effect on customers,

23 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

dissatisfaction ratings.
Attributions for Service Success or Failure
Attributions-the perceived causes of events-influence perceptions of satisfaction as
well. When they have been surprised by an outcome (the service is either much better or
much worse-than expected), consumers tend to look for the reasons, and their assessments of
the reasons can influence their satisfaction' For example, if a customer of a weight-loss
organization fails to lose weight as hoped for, she will likely search for the for the causes
was it something she did, was the diet plan ineffective, or did circumstances simply not allow
her to follow the diet regimen-before determining her level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction
with the weight-loss company. For many services customers take at least partial
responsibility for how things turn out.
Even when they don't take responsibility for the outcome, customer satisfaction may
be influenced by other kinds of attributions. For example, in research done in a travel agency
context it was found that customers were less dissatisfied with a pricing error made by the
agent if they felt the reason was outside the agent's control or if they felt it was a rare
mistake, unlikely to occur again.
Perceptions of Equity or Fairness
Customer satisfaction is also influenced by perceptions of equity and fairness.2o
Customers ask them selves: Have I been treated fairly compared with other customers'? Did
other customers get better treatment, better prices, or better quality service? Did I pay a fair
price for the service? Was I treated well in exchange for what I paid and the effort I
expended? Notions of fairness are central to customers' perceptions of satisfaction with
products and services. The example of Sears Auto Centers division illustrates consumers'
strong reactions to unfair treatment. Over a decade ago the division was charged with
defrauding customers in 44 states by performing unnecessary repairs. Sears employees had

24 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

been rewarded based on the quantity of repairs sold resulting in substantial unnecessary
charges to customers. The $27-million Sears paid settling complaints and the additional loss
of business all resulted from extreme dissatisfaction of its customers over the unfair
treatment.
Other Consumers, Family Members, and Coworkers
In addition to product and service features and one's own individual feelings and
beliefs, consumer satisfaction is often influenced by other people.22 For example,
satisfaction with a family vacation trip is a dynamic phenomenon, influenced by the reactions
and expressions of individual family members over the duration of the vacation. Later, what
family members express in terms of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the trip will be
influenced by stories that are retold among the family and selective memories of the events.
Similarly, the satisfaction of the rafters in Figure 4.2 is certainly influenced by individual
perceptions, but it is also influenced greatly by the experiences, behavior, and view's of the
other rafters. In a business setting, satisfaction with a new service or technology-for example,
a new customer relationship management software service-will be influenced by individuals'
personal experiences with the software itself, but also by what others say about it in the
company, how others use it and feel about it, and how widely it is adopted in the
organization. In Chapter 12 we will come back to this topic as we look at strategies for
involving and managing other consumers to maximize satisfaction in the service experience.
National Customer Satisfaction Indexes
Because of the importance of customer satisfaction to firms and overall quality of
life, many countries how have a national index that measures and tracks customer
satisfaction at a macro level.23 Many public policymakers believe that these measures could
and should be used as tools for evaluating the health of the nation's economy, along with
traditional measures of productivity and price. Customer satisfaction indexes begin to get at

25 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

the quality of economic output, whereas more traditional economic indicators tend to focus
only on quantity. The first such measure was the Swedish Customer Satisfaction Barometer
introduced in 1989. Through out the 1990s similar indexes were introduced in Germany
(Deutsche Kundenbarometer, or DK, in 1992), the United States (American Customer
Satisfaction Index, ACSI, in 1994), and Switzerland (Swiss Index of Customer Satisfaction,
SWICS, in 1998).

CONSUMER BUYING DECISION PROCESS


There are following five stages in consumer buying decision Process.
1. Problem identification:The buying process starts when the buyer recognizes a problem or need. The need can be
triggered by internal or external stimuli.

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

Consumer buying decision process is the processes undertaken by consumer in regard


to a potential market transaction before, during and after the purchase of a product or service.
Need Recognition
Purchase decision making process begins when a buyer becomes aware of an
unsatisfied need or problem. This is the vital stage in buying decision process, because
without recognizing the need or want, an individual would not seek to buy goods or service.
There are several situations that can cause problem recognition, these include:

Depletion of stock
Dissatisfaction with goods in stock
Environmental Changes
Change in Financial Situation
Marketer Initiated Activities

Example:
When a person recognizes that he/she is having a difficulty that he/she is not able to
travel with his/her family member. Then recognizes that his/her must have car and needs to
buy a new car.
Information Search
After the consumer has recognized the need, he / she will trying to find the means to
solve that need. First he will recall how he used to solve such kind of a problem in the past,
this is called nominal decision making. Secondly, a consumer will try to solve the problem by
asking a friend or goes to the market to seek advice for which product will best serve his
need, this is called limited decision making.
Sources of information include:

Personal sources
Commercial Sources
Public sources
Personal experience

Example: (continuing from previous)

30 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

The person after recognizing that his/her need, he/she will eventually try to find
out how he/she can purchase the car. If he/she cannot make a decision his/herself then he/she
will ask a friend to help out, if the friend do not have sufficient knowledge, he/she would go
to automobile showroom of a different company and try to get adequate information
regarding price, feature, performance and after sale service.
Alternatives evaluation
Consumers evaluates criteria refer to various dimension; features, characteristics
and benefits that a consumer desires to solve a certain problem. Product features and its
benefit is what influence consumer to prefer that particular product. The consumer will
decide which product to buy from a set of alternative products depending on each unique
feature that the product offers and the benefit he / she can get out of that feature.
Example: (continuing from previous)
When that user got enough information concerning the different brands of cars
available in the market, he/she will decide which kind of car and also which company or
brand he/she is going to buy depending upon his/her need.
Purchase Action
This stage involves selection of brand and the retail outlet to purchase such a
product. Retail outlet image and its location are important. Consumer usually prefers a
nearby retail outlet for minor shopping and they can willingly go to a far away store when
they purchase items which are of higher values and which involve higher sensitive purchase
decision. After selecting where to buy and what to buy, the consumer completes the final step
of transaction by either cash or credit.
Example: (continuing from previous)
After selecting company or brand of the car and model from different alternatives of
cars, he/she will make a final decision of where to buying that car and make the final

31 | P a g e

ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF TATA DOCOMO

transaction procedures.
Post-purchase Actions
Consumer favourable post-purchase evaluation leads to satisfaction. Satisfaction
with the purchase is basically a function of the initial performance level expectation and
perceived performance relative to those expectations. Consumer tends to evaluate their
wisdom on the purchase of that particular product. This can result to consumer experiencing
post purchase dissatisfaction. If the consumers perceived performance level is below
expectation and fail to meet satisfaction this will eventually cause dissatisfaction, and so the
brand and/ or the outlet will not be considered by the consumer in the future purchases. This
might cause the consumer to initiate complaint behaviour and spread negative word-ofmouth concerning that particular product.
Example: (continuing from previous)
If he/she decided to buy a car he/she will try to compare the performance, speed,
mileage and comfort of the particular car, whether they meet his/her expectations. If he/she
would find that his/ her expectations are meet she will be satisfied, if she found that there are
more additional features that he/she did not expect this car to have, she will be delighted,
otherwise she will be dissatisfied.
