    CHAPTER - 1

    INTRODUCTION

    Introduction

    Marketing consist of all activities by which a company adapts itself

    to its environment creativity and profitability. It is the whole business

    seen from the point of view of its final result that is from customers

    point of view. Basically business firms objective is to convert societal

    needs into profitable opportunities. Marketing is an attempt to anticipate

    satisfies the needs and demand of the consumer of the society.

    Philip Kotler has observed marketing is the needs and want to

    target markets and delivering the desired satisfaction more effectively

    and efficiently than competitors. Thus, it shows that consumers are the

    key to the success to any companys marketing services.

    Evolution of Marketing

    The development of marketing concept is evolutionary i.e. gradual

    rather than revolutionary. The evolution of marketing is one the oldest

    profession of the world.

    Marketing is both philosophy and a technology. As a philosophy,

    it guides and directs the business thinking i.e. whether to produce or not

    purchase. As a technology it is concerned with deciding what should be

    produced, how and when products could be most efficiently distributed

    among the customers. Hence, producers have to adapt different

    7

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    8/101

    methods of satisfying their customers due to change in customer taste and

    preferences.

    Distinction between Market and Marketing

    Market is an arrangement providing an opportunity to exchange

    goods. In the market forces of demand and supply, they operate directly

    by means of communication and they themselves determine prices.

    Where as marketing is sum totals those activities that is related to free

    flow of goods from the points of production to consumption. Physical

    movements of goods are the hall mark of marketing. That is once the

    price fixation is done, the journey starts from seller end at buyer.

    Marketing concepts:

    Societal concept

    Production concept

    Product concept

    Selling concept

    Want and demand concept

    The marketing concept is a business philosophy that challenges the

    previous concepts. It meets the needs profitably and helps in finding the

    wants to fulfill them.

    Societal marketing concept hold that the organisations task is to

    determine needs, wants and interests of the targets markets and to

    deliver the desired satisfaction more effectively than competitors in a

    way that enhances all the consumers and societys well being.

    8

    9/101

    Production concept says that consumers will favor those products that

    are widely available and economical. A managers of production

    oriented organisation concentrate on achieving high production and

    wide distribution coverage.

    Production concept holds that consumers will favor those products

    that offer the most good quality, performance or innovative features.

    Wants and demand concepts say that a human is a state of felt

    deprivation of some basic satisfaction? Wants are desire for satisfying

    needs. Demands or wants for specific products that are backed by an

    ability and willingness to buy them. Marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and

    groups obtain what they need and want through creating, offering and

    exchanging products of value with others. Hence the importance of

    marketing arises.

    Here different heads studies are :

    o Analysing market opportunities

    o Researching and selecting target market and positioning the

    offer.

    o Planning market demand.

    o Current marketing situation.

    A firm due to constraints on resources cannot exploit all marketing

    opportunities existing in marketing environment. As opportunities

    should have to be diagnosed and evaluated to choose accessible and

    feasible marketing opportunities.

    9

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    10/101

    A product should be designed to cater requirements of specific market

    segments known as target markets. It is required to conduct research

    to identify the target market segments which can be chosen by the

    firm.

    Since marketing is consumer oriented it is necessary to assess the

    market demand for a product so as to manufacture requiring quantity

    and supply at right time.

    All marketing activities should be organized and implemented keeping

    in mind the current marketing situations, which can be determined byanalysing the entire environment factor affecting process of

    marketing.

    Marketing function is defined as an act operation or services by which

    original product and the final consumer linked together.

    The Macro environment of marketing consists of

    Demography

    Economy

    Social and cultural

    Political and legal

    Technological

    Consumers purchases and the manner in which they are consumed

    reflect a societys life style. Technological forces help to shape changes

    in the style of living of consumers. Marketing management with help of

    technology can create and deliver standards, and style of life. It has the

    responsibility of relating , changing of life style of patterns, values and

    changing technology to marketing opportunity for profitable sales to

    particular market segments.

    Buying is procurement of goods or services for eventual resale to theconsumers or industrial users:

    Different functions are

    a. Planning purchase of goods

    b. Contractual function

    c. Assembling

    d. Negotiation

    e. Contractual

    a. Planning purchases of goods implies planning of purchases for the

    Organization or consumers.

    11

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    12/101

    b. Contractual function is concerned with searching for and determining

    the sources of supply and establishing and maintaining contacts with

    them, establishment of relationship is to earn name and fame.

    c. Assembling means bringing together to collecting a large amount of

    similar goods and many producers for resale in a single region.

    Assembling and buying are not one and the same. Assembling brings

    together goods of same type from different source whereas buying

    involves purchase of variety of product.

    d. Getting together of business buyers and suppliers with a view to

    discuss the contents of contracts as the price, payments, quality can be

    said as negotiation.

    e. Actual entering into contract to buy is end of buying function. The

    provisions of sale of goods act with which we operate the business to

    protect the will and interest of parties of business. It binds both parties

    to that aggrieved party to get justice for breach of contract by other.

    Methods of Buying

    Buying is the basic of marketing activity. Good can be defined as

    buying at right price. There are different methods of buying namely,

    a) Concentrated buying: If purchases are confined to a very few

    sources of supply, it is concentrated buying.

    b) Diversified buying: When a buyer decides to buy good required from

    a large number of suppliers, it is known as diversified buying.

    c) Reciprocal buying: The main idea of this is that the purchases are

    mutual i.e. you buy our products, and then we buy your products

    12

    Market potential

    A Market Potential is an estimate of the Maximum possible sale

    opportunities present in a particular market segment and open to all

    sector of a goods or services during a stated future period. A market

    potential indicates how much of a particular product can be sold to a

    particular market segment over some future period assuming the

    application of the appropriate marketing methods.

    Current and future market demands are determined by analyzing

    the entire environment factor affecting marketing process. The two way

    of estimating demand are:

    Total market potential:

    It is demand that exist for products in all areas put together. The

    demand may be for a product in all areas put together. The demand may

    be for a product or service and the area may be for state, country and

    continent or may be whole itself.

    Area market potential :

    It is demand that exist for a particular product or services in it

    Particular area of market, Say Jayanagar in Bangalore or Sanjaynagar in

    Bangalore etc.

    Marketing Mix.:

    In marketing planning we use marketing information to assess the

    situation. We have to select specific marketing targets inform of market

    segments. From each segment or division of the market formulate a

    combination of number of devices or types of marketing activities that

    are co-ordinate into a single marketing program to reach a particular

    13

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    14/101

    target or market segment. The combination of these is marketing mix.

    The basic marketing mix is blending of four inputs, which form core of

    marketing system. They are

    a. Product mix: It is the thing possessing utility. It has four main

    components namely product range, after sale service , brand and package.

    b. Price mix: Price is the valuation placed upon products by offered.

    It has to cover pricing discounts, allowance and terms of credit. It

    mainly deals with price competition.

    c. Distribution mix: Distribution is the delivery of product and right to

    consume it. It includes channels of distribution, transportation, and ware

    housing and inventory control.

    d. Promotion Mix: Promotion is the persuasive communication about

    the product by offer to the prospect. It covers advertising,

    Personal selling, sales promotion, publicity, price relations, and

    exhibition of demonstration used in promotion. Largely it deals with non-

    price competition. Largely it deals with non-price competition.

    Market Segment

    Market consists of buyers and buyers in one or more respect. They

    May differ in their wants, purchasing power, geographical location,

    buying attitudes and practices. These variables are the main causes of

    14

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    15/101

    market segmentation. Hence it is a method of achieving maximum

    market response from limited marketing resources.

    The different segments are :

    Geographical Segmentation :

    Geographical location is usual and popular basis for market

    segmentation. Further distinction as rural and urban markets, city and

    suburban markets etc also form geographic segmentation.

    Demographic Segmentation:

    Demography is study of population. Demographically characters

    such as sex, age, marital status number and age of children, place of

    residence, mobility, income, education, occupation, Family life cycle,

    social class, culture etc., make the basis of demographic sub culture.

    Psychographic segmentation:

    Here buyers are divided into different Groups on the basis of

    social class, life style and for personality characteristics. People with in

    some demographic group can exhibit very different psychographics

    profiles

    Brand awareness

    Brand

    Consumer views a brand as an important part of a product and

    branding can add valve to a product. Fox example, most consumer would

    pensive a bottle of white linen perfume as a high quality, expensive

    15

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    16/101

    product. But the same perfume in an unmarked bottle would likely be

    viewed as lower in quality, even if the fragrance were identical.

    Branding as become a major issue in product strategy. On one

    hand, developing a branded product required a great deal of long

    marketing investment, especially for advertising promotion and packing.

    Branding

    Perhaps the most distinctive skill of professional marketers is their

    ability to create, protect and enhance brands. A brand is name, term,

    sign, symbol or design or a combination of these intended to identify the

    products or service of one seller in group of seller and to differentiate

    them from those of competitors.

    A brand is a seller promise to deliver consistently a specific set of

    features, benefits and service to buyers. The best hands convey a

    warranty of quality. According to one marketing executive, a brand can

    deliver upto four level of meaning.

    a. Attributes

    A brand first brings to mind a certain product attributes. For

    example Mercedes, such attributes as well engineered, well built,

    durable, fast, expensive and high resale value. The company

    may use one or more of these attributes in its advertising for the car. For

    years Mercedes being advertise engineered like no other in the world.

    This provided a positioning plat form for other attributes of the car.

    16

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    17/101

    b. Benefits

    Customers do not buy attributes they buy benefits. Therefore,

    attributes must be translated into functional and emotional benefits. I

    wont have to buy a new car every few years. The attribute expensive

    might translate into the emotional benefits. The car makes me feel

    important and admired. The attribute will might translate into the

    functional and emotional benefit. I am safe in the even of an accident.

    c. Values

    A brand also says about the buyers values. Thus, Mercedes

    buyers value high performance, safety and prestige. A brand marketer

    must identify the specific groups of car buyers whose values coincide

    with the delivered package.

    d. Personality

    A brand also projects a personality motivation a researcher

    sometimes asks. If this brand were person, what kind of person would it

    be? Consumers might visualize a Mercedes automobile as being a

    wealthy business executive. The brand will attract people whose actual

    or desired self-image matches the brand image.

    The challenge of branding is to develop a deep of meaning for the

    brand, given the four levels of brands meaning marketers must decide the

    levels at which they will build the brands identify. The most lasting

    meaning or a brand are its values are personality. They obtained the

    brands essence. Thus, Mercedes stands for high achieve and success the

    company must build its brand strategy around creating and protecting this

    17

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    18/101

    brand personality. All though Mercedes has recently yielded to

    marketing less expense models might dilute the vehicle and personality

    that Mercedes has build up over the decades.

    Brand equity

    Brands vary in the amount of power and value they have in the

    market place. Some brands are largely unknown to most buyers. Other

    brands have a high degree of consumer brand awareness. Still others

    enjoy brands preference buyers select them over the other. Finally, some

    brands command a high degree of brand of brand loyalty. Powerful

    brand has high brand equity. Brand have high brand equity to extent that

    they have higher brand loyalty, names awareness perceived quality,

    strong brand association and other assets such as patents trade marks and

    channel relationships. A brand with strong brand equity is valuable asset.

    In fact, it can even be brought or sold for a price.

    Measuring the actual equity of brand name is difficult. Because it

    is so hard measure companies usually of brand name is difficult. Because

    it is so hard measure companies usually do not list brand equity on their

    balance sheets. Still, they pay handsomely for it. For eg. Nestle paid $

    4.5 billions to buy row tree, five times its book value. According to an

    estimate, the brand equity of coca-cola are $ 36 billions, Marlboro and

    Kodak $ 10 billions?

    The worlds top brand include such super powers as coca-cola,

    Disney, Kodak, Sony, Mercedes Benz high brand equity provided a

    company with many competitive advantages. Because a powerful brand

    18

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    19/101

    enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty, the

    company will incur lower marketing cost relative to revenues because

    consumer expect stores to carry the brand, the company has more

    leverage bargaining in the beginning with resellers and become the brand

    name carries high creditability, the company can more easily launch

    brand extension. Above all, a powerful brand offers the company some

    against trice competition.

    Marketers need to manage their brands carefully to preserve brand

    equity and usefulness, and positive brand associations over time. This

    requires continuous R & D investment, skillful advertising and excellent

    trade and consumer service.

    Some companies such as Colgate Palmolive have appointed

    brand equity managers to guard their brand image, association and equity.

    They work to prevent brand managers from over promoting brands in

    order to produce short-term profits as the expenses of long term brand

    equity.

    Some analysis see brand as the major enduring assets of a

    company. Outlasting specific products and facilities. Yet behind ever

    powerful brand stands set of loyal customer therefore, the basic assets

    underlying brand equity is customer equity. This suggests the marketing

    strategy should focus on extending loyal customer lifetime ale, with

    brand management serving as a major marketing tool.

    views are portrayed in the statistical and graphical manner. Thus it

    can be a limitation.

    The total number of users of Bajaj pulsar (dtsi) used in project work is

    40. This is very small compared to real number of users of this

    vehicle.

    The duration for the survey was very less.

    CHAPTER 3

    PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION

    An over view of BAJAJ

    Heady euphoria of Indias freedom struggle. Jamnalal Bajaj,

    founder of the Bajaj group, wa The Bajaj group came into existence

    during the turmoil and thus a confidante and disciple of Mahatma

    Gandhi, and was deeply involved in the effort for freedom. The integrity,

    dedication, resourcefulness and determination to succeed which are

    characteristic of the company today, are often traced back to its birth

    during those long days of relentless devotion to a common cause.

    Kamalnayan, the eldest son of Jamanlal Bajaj, succeeded his father

    In 1942, at the age of twenty-seven. Putting the nation before business, he

    26

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    27/101

    devoted himself to the later only after India achieved independence in

    1947. But when he did so, he put his heart and soul into it.

    Within a short while, he not only consolidated the group, but also

    diversified into various manufacturing activities, elevating the Group to

    the status it enjoys till this day.

    Rahul Bajaj today heads the Group. He has been the Chief

    Executive Officer Of Bajaj since 1968 and is recognized as one of the

    most outstanding business leaders in India. As dynamic and ambitious as

    his illustrious predecessors, he has been recognized for his achievements

    at various national and international forums.

    In 2003, Bajaj Auto limited (Bajaj) was one of the Indias largest

    manufacturers of both two and three wheelers. The three wheelers, also

    known as auto-rickshaws were unique to the south Asian region. The

    company recorded revenue of Rs. 5125.73 crores representing a 13%

    increase over the previous year. Once the unchallenged market leader,

    Bajaj trailed Hero-Honda in the late 1990s. Bajajs market share declined

    from 49.3% in 1994, to 38.9% in 1999. There after, Bajaj has initiated

    several measures to region its market share & strengthened its

    competitive position. In 2003, Bajaj and a work force of 12,000

    employees & a network of 422 dealers and over 1,300 authorized service

    centers.

    Bajaj is currently Indias largest two and three-wheeler

    Manufacturer and one of the LARGEST in the world.

    Bajaj Auto, a market leader, continually evolving, responding,

    defining new boundaries, creating new horizons.

    Bajaj unveils new brand identify, dons new Logo

    Bajaj Auto unveiled the new corporate identity on the 15th January at the

    Auto Expo- 2004, New Delhi. The white and blue reverse hexagonal

    symbol with Bajaj Auto in small lettering, which stood in good stead for

    Bajaj Auto for many decades, finally paved way for a refreshing new

    look symbol with the Bajaj logotype in capital letters. The new identity

    arrives at a time when Bajaj Auto has successfully metamorphosed into a

    major motorcycle manufacturer with proven credentials in award winning

    Pulsar twins and also proved its core values, which Bajaj has identified as

    its brand values. The brand essence technological capability with the

    introduction the revolutionary Digital Twin.

    Spark Ignition (DTSI) technology.

    The new visual identity of Bajaj Auto emanated from the

    confirmation of for the new Bajaj has identified as Excitement.

    Excitement engineering will deliver and inspire confidence into various

    stake holders like Bajaj has traditionally done. Bajaj promises to live its

    essence thru a set of five Brand Values of Learning , Innovation,

    perfection, speed and Transparency. The change in Identity is a part of

    the ongoing changes happening at Bajaj. At a time when Bajaj has state

    of the art manufacturing infrastructure, has an enviable distribution and

    service network, has created a bench mark R& D facility and at a time

    when the customer has changed in terms of its exposure to quality and

    style, the change in identity will help invite a paradigm shift in consumer

    perception of the company.

    The traditional hexagonal symbol has been replaced by an open

    abstract Form of stylized B, the flying B as it has been named

    represents style and technology. It also has a strong association with the

    heritage of Bajaj since the external form has a hint of hexagon. flying B

    form denotes speed and open form denotes the transparency.

    The new Logotype is all capital BAJAJ, representing precision

    engineering and perfection. The logo is all confident bold stylistic

    lettering, which is very global in its outlook.

    BAJAJ has adopted a new brand line of Inspiring Confidence. In

    whatever the company does it seeks to inspire confidence in its audience.

    Bajaj has traditionally enjoyed tremendous consumer support and plans

    to consolidate

    29

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    30/101

    And move ahead on this. The brand line appears below the Logotype in a

    script font.

    This font is to represent learning values at Bajaj and that Bajaj as a

    brand moves closer to customer.

    The identity has a fresh new blue colour. This blue represents

    Stability and strength of Bajaj. Blue also represents high technology and

    precision engineering. The new identity presents a futuristic face of the

    new global Bajaj. Elephant design has been working with Bajaj on

    creating and implementing the new Bajaj identity. The new brand will

    manifest in all consumer and employee interfaces, says Rajiv Bajaj joint

    managing Director, BAL.

    Bajaj is on the cusp of a revolution brewing on various fronts, be

    it, exports, design, R & D, new models and marketing. The company thus

    needed a new identity that would present the new philosophy. The

    sweeping changes happening at Bajaj Auto required a more dynamic,

    vibrant and exciting identity, which would also show case inspiration and

    confidence through excitement engineering. The change in identity is

    expected to present an easier interface for the world to understand the

    new Bajaj with the same trustworthy values.

    means of controlling the ignition by operating the throttle. Depending on

    the needs of the rider whether it be cruising, acceleration, or max aped,

    the ignition requirements constantly change. Based on particular amount

    of throttle opening, the magnetic field generated by the magnet opens or

    closes the read switch is connected to the digital CDI which signals the

    CDI to change/switch, the desired ignition advance timing maps, this

    helps in achieving a good balance between drivability and optimum

    ignition spark advance, resulting in an almost perfect ignition spark

    advance for every throttle opening the engine rpm.

    89/101

    professional with 18, government and private employees account only

    22 respondents. This means that the bike preferred largely by the

    college students and professionals.

    that the bike is popular among all the classes of the society.

    According to survey all the respondents are aware of the different

    brands of two wheelers available in the market.

    Majority of 100 respondents consider maintenance as important beforepurchase of two wheelers followed by good power and pickup (40),

    technology and engineering (45) power & mileage (57) etc. This

    reveals that the important attributes influencing the purchase decision

    are low maintenance, high mileage and latest technology and

    engineering.

    Survey revealed that a BAJAJ PULSAR dtsi bike has to improve its

    power and pickup and durability. It should maintain its power, pickup

    and increase sturdiness.

    Out of the 60 non user respondents, 44 wanted BAJAJ PULSAR dtsi

    brand. Out of these, a majority of respondents opted for BAJAJ

    PULSAR. It shows the good market potential for BAJAJ PULSAR

    in Bangalore city.

    The main reasons why users had gone for BAJAJ PULSAR is its

    better mileage, good aesthetics are stated by 31, 28 and 19

    respondents respectively. Driving comfort, after sale serves, road grip

    etc. have also influenced their buying decision. Thus, good aesthetics,

    89

    90/101

    high mileage and latest technology and engineering are the main

    attractions of the bike.

    family and friends followed by electronic media and print media

    according to 33 and 17 respondents respectively. This states that

    pickup followed by 08 respondents who want increase in mileage, 15

    of the total respondents want its maintenance to be low, 06 want after

    sale service. 11 respondents are not satisfied with the price. This

    shows that the bike high price, less resale value and after sales service

    as well as low mileage etc. are the weakness of the bike.

    Suggestions

    Based on the major findings as observed during collection of data

    through the distribution of customer questionnaires, an attempt has been

    made to offer recommendations for the further improvement of sales as

    well as customer satisfaction in the following paragraphs:

    90

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    91/101

    The bike has a four stroke engine it expected to give good mileage.

    The bike should give at least 55 50 kilometers per litre under city

    riding conditions as against 60 kms declared by the company.

    Brakes and road grip of the bike need to be improved.

    The vehicles are expected to have lower maintenance cost which

    makes the customers feel happy.

    Seating arrangement of the vehicles should be changed.

    Bajaj pulsar dtsi should be released with new attractive colours.

    Structure of petrol tank should be changed.

    Commercial suggestions:

    The high price is one of the major barriers. The bike should be priced

    below Rs. 50,000 (including accessories) which will increase the

    sales.

    Pulsar should advertise their models in T.V. media to create

    awareness and attract some more consumers and also company shouldgive more and more advertisements about the product in different

    medias like print media, electronic media so that it will reach every

    one.

    Young people prefer two wheelers (especially students) than others.

    So, the advertisement and sales promotion should be aimed towards

    them.

    The waiting period for the delivery of the vehicles should be reduced.

    More authorized service stations should be opened within city limits.

    Vehicle loan should be extended to meet the middle class customers

    by reducing monthly slap rate and interest rate.

    91

  • 8/8/2019 36615050 Bajaj Pulsar

    92/101

    Number of free services to vehicle should be increased.

    Various kinds of discounts should be allowed on purchase of vehicles

    occasionally.

    Credit period must be increased which helps high rate of sales.

    Conclusion

    The survey conducted clearly indicates that Bajaj pulsar bike with

    its brand name in the market has attracted many youths towards it. The

    company with its goodwill has been able to impress the existing as well

    as prospective customers. If the company takes into account the factors

    like introduction of more attractive colours for the bike, enhancing the

    credit facilities to middle income groups, change in the structure of the

    petrol tank, seasonal discounts, aggressive advertisements, increase in the

    number of free services, opening up of more free service centres within

    the city limits etc. will definitely help the company to enhance its sales as

    well as the appreciation of its customers which is very important for its

    survival, growth and development.
