ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The research on Comparative Study between Bajaj and Hero

Honda has been given to me as part of the curriculum in 3-years Bachelor

Degree in Business Administration.

I have tried my best to present this information as clearly as possible

using basic terms that I hope will be comprehended by the widest spectrum

of researchers, analysts and students for further studies.

I have completed this study under the able guidance and supervision

of Prof. JOYDEB BANERJEE; I will be failed in my duty if I do not

acknowledge the esteemed scholarly guidance, assistance and knowledge. I

have received from them towards fruitful and timely completion of this

work.

Mere acknowledgement may not redeem the debt I owe to my parents fortheir direct/indirect support during the entire course of this project.

I also thankful to my friend who helped me a lot in the completion of

this project.
