Summary

This project is mainly based on first hand observation in the market, the way customers perceive the various advertisements and in way it effects their buying behavior. The Study which I had done in this was about to analyze the advertising effectiveness of Lenovo laptop and its effect on consumer buying behavior. First of all I had to go with some past studies which are called Literature review to know the way of completing the project or some valuable ideas regarding my studies. After literature review, I came to know that what variable I should include in my study, considering those variables I prepared the questionnaire to know the desired results and checked it with one small sample i.e. 10people. During testing the questionnaire, I came to know some points which i had to change in the questionnaire to put off the confusion of the respondents. Then I collected the data of 50 people using convenient sampling. Information was collected related to the effect of advertising on consumer buying behavior with the help of a questionnaire. Then I summarized all the data, and test it with questionnaire on Likert Scale. I made all the calculations with the help of EXCEL 2007.

INTRODUCTION
Objectives of Study:

The main aim of undertaking this study is to accomplish the following objective: To study the consumer buying behavior. To study the impact of advertising of Lenovo laptop on consumer buying behavior. Conducting a market survey and understanding the customer perception. Analysis of customer awareness of product.

Limitations of Study:

Though the present study aimed to achieve the above-mentioned objectives in full earnest and accuracy, it was hampered due to certain limitations. Some of the limitations of this study may be summarized as follows: Presence of various advertising medium. It may be possible that the same tools are being used by the different companies. Time was a major limiting factor and it was very tough to get the time of the survey and other activities because of the study. Unwillingness on the part of few respondents to disclose the information.
Getting accurate responses from the respondents due to their

inherent

problems was difficult. They were partial, and refused to cooperate.

Methodology
The objective of the present study can be accomplished by conducting a systematic

market survey. Market Research is a systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and finding that are relevant to different market situation facing by the company. I had to know the advertising effectiveness of Lenovo laptop and its effect on consumer buying behavior. I prepared one questionnaire, which I tested with 10 people data; it also helped me to rectify the questionnaire where some questions were confusing the respondents. For this synopsis, the fit with a quantitative study is better because of the need for several different views on the questions and to decrease the factor of that different people think differently. For quantitative, the corresponding are; structured observations, interviews and surveys, and attitude scaling. I used the convenience sampling method to collect the data. First of all, I interact with them and find out 50 such customers who use the Lenovo laptop in daily life.

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT is a tool of marketing that disseminates information about a brand which is aimed at a large no. of people at the same time. To reach the masses, Advertising has to buy space or time in one or more media of mass communication such as radio, TV, newspapers, magazines.

ROLE OF ADVERTISEMENT:
The human race in constant pursuit of fulfillment. Apart from necessities of food and shelter, one learns to desire many things, which also become indispensible over a period of time. An average economic system caters to the needs as well as desires of its people. Advertising is an integral part of this activity and is one of the most visible elements in providing information about products, services and ideas. Good advertising, however as put succinctly by someone, is not to say anything to say everything to sell something worthwhile. Advertising is a key element in the promotional mix of marketing. It is a tool used by marketers to reach out to the end users of products and services. Advertising is expected to create a brand image and build brands. it is a medicated communication which entails buying space and time in mass media,

Objective / Functions of advertising

The purpose of advertising is nothing but to sell something -a product, a service or an idea. The real objective of advertising is effective communication between producers and consumers. The following are the main objectives of advertising: 1. Preparing Ground for New Product

REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AUTONOMOUS, BBSR

New product needs introduction because potential customers have never used such product earlier and the advertisements prepare a ground for that new product. 2. Creation of Demand The main objective of the advertisement is to create a favorable climate for maintaining of improving sales. Customers are to be reminded about the product and the brand 4. Facing the Competition Another important objective of the advertisement is to face to competition. Under competitive conditions, advertisement helps to build up brand image and brand loyalty and when customers have developed brand loyalty, becomes difficult for the middlemen to change it. 5. Creating or Enhancing Goodwill: Large scale advertising is often undertaken with the objective of creating or enhancing the goodwill of the advertising company.

Medium of Advertising
Magazines: Print advertising describes advertising in a printed medium such as a

newspaper, magazine, or trade journal. This encompasses everything from media with a very broad readership base, such as a major national newspaper or magazine, to more narrowly targeted media such as local newspapers and trade journals on very specialized topics Television: The TV commercial is generally considered the most effective massmarket advertising format, as is reflected by the high prices TV networks charge for commercial airtime during popular TV events.. Radio: Radio advertising is a form of advertising via the medium of radio. Radio

advertisements are broadcasted as radio waves to the air.

Billboards: Billboards are large structures located in public places which display

advertisements to passing pedestrians and motorists. Most often, they are located on main roads with a large amount of passing motor and pedestrian traffic; however, they can be placed in any location with large amounts of viewers, such as on mass transit vehicles and in stations, in shopping malls or office buildings, and in stadiums. Online advertising: Online advertising is a form of promotion that uses the Internet and World Wide Web for the expressed purpose of delivering marketing messages to attract customers. Examples of online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, Rich Media Ads, Social network advertising, online classified advertising, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam.

About Lenovo
Lenovo creates and builds exceptionally engineered personal technology, but we are much more than a tech company. We are defining a new way of doing things as a next generation global company. That means we are years ahead of the game in terms of understanding what it will take to win 5, 10 years from now. Formed by Lenovo Groups acquisition of the former IBM Personal Computing Division, Lenovo builds on its dominant position in China to grow globally. The expansion from East to West such as by introducing our newest products in China and then spreading across the globe is a new way of viewing the world, one we believe will be the way of the future. That focus on the future is based on a strong history of success that is driving results today. Long the leader in China, Lenovo is growing rapidly and winning market share in all parts of the world. This balanced growth is what has made Lenovo the fastest growing major PC company and enabled us to consistently grow faster than the market. Achieving optimal balance in all that we do is Lenovos operating philosophy. This mindset encompasses every aspect of Lenovos business, from balancing leadership with consensus-building, to valuing both short- and long-term thinking. As a result, we have created a balanced business model and strategy that take maximum advantage of profit and investment across both core and new businesses. The result is balanced performance and market share growth across all regions, customer segments, products and business models. Our mission is to become one of the worlds great personal technology companies. We aspire to achieve this objective by leading in three key areas: Personal Computers: Lead in PCs and be respected for our product innovation and quality. Convergence: Lead the industry with an ecosystem of devices, services, applications and content for people to seamlessly connect to people and web content. Culture: Become recognized as one of the best, most trusted and most well-respected companies to work for and do business with.

Our Values
At Lenovo we view our culture as a critical asset as important as an effective business model. We call our culture the Lenovo Way, and at its most basic, that culture is reflected in the statement: We do what we say and own what we do. Our values serve as the foundation of our company and define who we are and how we work. Principal among them are: Serving Customers Trust and Integrity Teamwork Across Cultures Innovation and Entrepreneurial Spirit

Our Heritage
Lenovo came about as the result of the merger of two of the most storied companies in technology and business: Legend Holdings in China and IBMs Personal Computing Division in the United States. The merger was heralded as a watershed event in global business with the potential for integrating two disparate cultures, languages, processes and markets. As a result, Lenovo embodies the unique market possibilities in combining the best of East and West -- joining North American and China-based technology players in the creation of a unified global PC leader with growing market positions in developed and emerging markets alike. With more than $16 billion in annual revenue, Lenovos market strength spans not only market geographies but also the worlds consumer and business PC markets.

A Worldwide Leader
Lenovo is one of the worlds largest makers of personal computers and makes the world's most innovative PCs, including the renowned ThinkPad notebook as well as products carrying the ThinkCentre, ThinkStation, ThinkServer, IdeaCentre and IdeaPad sub-brands. Today, Lenovo is a global corporation with significant operations on six continents and operating in more than 60 countries and selling products in 160. Everyone at Lenovo takes great pride in our ability to attract top talent from diverse backgrounds and from around the world. We view our differences and diversity as a source of strength in building a collaborative culture that helps us achieve our goals. We have no world headquarters and, instead, have put in place a distributed management structure that places operational hubs in centers of excellence around the world integrating this talented, diverse group into a cohesive Next Generation company. Our multicultural management team is free to convene wherever and whenever it makes the most sense. Lenovo has operations hubs in Beijing, Raleigh, NC, and Paris, a marketing hub in Bangalore, India, and major research centers in Yokohama, Japan; Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China; and Raleigh, North Carolina. The company employs more than 23,000 people worldwide, including 1,700 designers, scientists and engineers, representing a broad collection of nationalities and languages but at the same time working with one unified language and vision: to build the worlds most exceptionally engineered personal computers.

Two Roads to Creating a PC Powerhouse

In 1981, IBM launched its Personal Computing Division which literally invented personal computing with such innovations as the first laptop computer, the precursor to the ThinkPad notebook, synonymous with innovation and quality. In 1984, Legend Holdings was founded in China with just 11 computer scientists and $25,000 in cash, with the idea of delivering information technology more rapidly to consumers and businesses in China. In 2003, Legend began marketing its products under the Lenovo brand, melding the "Le" from Legend with "novo," the Latin word for "new." It officially changed its company name from Legend to Lenovo a year later. In 2005, Lenovo Groups acquisition of IBMs PC division essentially combined the market strength of Lenovo in China and elsewhere in Asia among consumers with IBMs leadership position in Europe and North America among business PC users. In 2007, Lenovo launches the IdeaPad line of consumer-branded PC products and drops the use of the IBM logo on all its products two years ahead of schedule. In 2008, Lenovo completed its entry into the server market with the launch of the ThinkServer portfolio, designed to deliver a better server experience for small and medium business customers.

Innovation: A Core Value

Lenovo owns the greatest track record for innovation in the PC industry and remains committed to innovation in its products and technology. Innovation is how Lenovo achieves competitive differentiation and drives new market opportunities, such as mobile internet, digital home and cloud computing. Lenovos innovation strategy is based on a two-tiered approach to solving real-world customer problems: Focus the majority of development on ideas that can be brought to market within 24 months Invest longer term in research targeting game changing big plays Lenovo operates seven research and development centers and more than 46 world-class labs, including major research centers in Yokohama, Japan; Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China; and Raleigh, NC. The company employs more than 1,700 engineers, researchers and scientists and has received more than 100 major design awards. Lenovos R&D centers have produced some of the world's most important advances in PC technology, ranging from the original "bento box" PC notebook design in 1992 to the 2008 launch of the innovative ThinkPad X300 "Kodachi," heralded as one of the world's lightest, thinnest and most innovative full-featured notebook PCs ever. Lenovo's commitment to innovation introduces more industry firsts and technology that sets the bar for business users as well as consumers, including: The LePhone smartphone that delivers fantastic style, small size and a unique interface targeting the high-growth China mobile convergence market The ThinkPad Edge, providing ThinkPad quality and functionality to the sophisticated small business market The ultimate goal of Lenovo's R&D team is to improve the overall experience of PC ownership, while driving down the cost of ownership. The company is rich in talent, with teams that have won hundreds of technology and design awards including more than 2,000 patents and introduced many industry firsts: TrackPoint pointing device (the little red button) ThinkPad design - one of the industrys most silent PCs VeriFace: Lenovos face recognition technology that creates a digital map that becomes the systems password. Dual-screen mobile workstation: combining unique design with complex engineering to meet the needs of highdemand computing environments.

Our Commitment to Corporate Citizenship (CSR)

Lenovo is committed to being a responsible and active corporate citizen, consistently working to improve its business while contributing to the betterment of our local communities, the environment and society overall. Lenovo practices corporate citizenship in many ways: Product quality and safety: Lenovo is focused on the safety of our products throughout their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing, transportation and installation to use, service and recycling or disposal. Safe and Healthy Workplaces: Lenovo prides itself on creating a world class experience for its at facilities across the planet from our headquarters and sales offices to our R&D labs to the manufacturing floor. In addition to meeting the legal requirements of the countries in which we do business, we ensure our employees have safe equipment and facilities; offer competitive compensation packages; and support stringent voluntary workplace safety standards. The Highest Ethical Standards: Lenovo is committed to the highest standards of integrity and responsibility, including respecting and protecting intellectual property. We provide guidance to every employee on a wide range of issues concerning ethical business practices, securities trading, health and safety, and compliance with government regulations. Concern for the environment: Lenovo is committed to environmental responsibility in all aspects of its business, from product design and supplier selection to manufacturing, facilities management, transportation and logistics and product lifecycle management, including recycling and reuse. Donating time and resources to philanthropy: Lenovo and its employees are committed to helping those less fortunate and, when disaster strikes, to lend a helping hand to those who can no longer provide for themselves. Soon after the devastating earthquake in Sichuan Province in May, 2008, nearly 4,000 Lenovo employees made financial

REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AUTONOMOUS, BBSR

donations for disaster relief while hundreds more lined up to donate blood. In addition, Lenovo has committed 1% of its pre-tax income to programs and initiatives that serve society to address issues in areas of great need, no matter where those areas or issues happen to be. Our Competitive Spirit Lenovos thirst for excellence extends from our products to our sponsorships. The global spotlight shone brightly on the Lenovo brand during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where the company leveraged its role as a global partner of the International Olympic Committee and presenting sponsor of the Olympic Torch Relay. What's more, Lenovo demonstrated its technical strengths in delivering a flawless performance that met the unprecedented demand of the Beijing Games. A network of 30,000 pieces of equipment, including desktop and notebook computers, touch-screen devices and printers supported by more than 600 Lenovo engineers. Building on the success of its sponsorships of the Beijing Olympic Games, Lenovo performed a similar role in providing technology and support for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010.

RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY

Data Collection Procedure
Communication, asking questions and receiving a response in person The primary data has been analyzed with the help of five point rating scale method. In the five points rating the employees have chosen from options such as Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. 5 = Strongly Agree; 4 = Agree; 3 = neither Agree nor Disagree; 2 = Disagree; 1 = Strongly Disagree the ratings provided by the respondents have been converted into mean scores and ranked accordingly. Graphs and tables have also been used for analyzing the data.

REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AUTONOMOUS, BBSR

Nature of Data 1. Primary Source: Data which is collected for the first time and for a specific purpose.

So I had to prepare one questionnaire to collect the responses from 40 people all around the City. Sources of Data: Primary Data is collected from investors from the different locations in BBSR like: From my friends From college

Sampling Method
The selection of a sample from a defined target population requires the construction of a sampling frame. The sampling frame is commonly prepared in the form of a physical list of population elements. A well-constructed sampling frame allows the researcher to take hold of the defined target population without the need to worry about contamination of the listing with incorrect entries or entries which represent elements associated with the excluded population.

Types of Sampling:
Probability sampling:

Non-probability sampling: Type of Sampling adopted under study: Convenience sampling

A sample of convenience is the terminology used to describe a sample in which elements have been selected from the target population on the basis of their accessibility or convenience to the researcher. Convenience samples are sometimes referred to as accidental samples for the reason that elements may be drawn into the sample simply

REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AUTONOMOUS, BBSR

because they just happen to be situated, spatially or administratively, near to where the researcher is conducting the data collection. The main assumption associated with convenience sampling is that the members of the target population are homogeneous. That is, that there would be no difference in the research results obtained from a random sample, a nearby sample, a co-operative sample, or a sample gathered in some inaccessible part of the population.

Variables:
Variables are of two types: Dependent variables and independent variables refer to values that change in relationship to each other.

Dependent Variables:
Independent Variables: Dependent Variable under study Consumer Buying Behavior

Independent Variable under study

Advertising effectiveness tools Newspaper Magazine Internet Television Hoardings

REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AUTONOMOUS, BBSR

Questionnaire Testing:
Once the questionnaire was prepared it was filled by at least 20 clients due to whom a number of mistakes were identified in the questionnaire. Problems which were overcome in revised questionnaire: Contradictory questions were eliminated so as to remove any kind of misunderstanding and confusion in understanding the objective of taking the information. Conditions were given so as to make a client convenient in answering the correct question as per our requirements. Options were changed so as to make the data analysis easy and convenient and the problem faced by the clients in verbalizing the information to be provided can be eliminated. Language of the questions was simplified so that clients can easily understand and answer them appropriately. Then I collected the data of 50 people through Convenience sampling and now I had to present this data as per the given frequency, which I had collected through questionnaire.

CONCLUSION

As my topic is measuring the advertising effectiveness of Lenovo laptop and its effect on consumer buying behavior. Analyze, so after doing some calculation, I reached on this conclusion that Positive message framing helps in influencing the buying behavior of customer. There was a high correlation between the advertisement shown on television and the consumer buying behavior. So we can say that those people who see Lenovo laptop advertisement on television has more effect on consumer buying behavior and will most probably buy that product.
