ABSTRACT
The need for marketers to be flexible and adaptable to the changing world around them has
never been greater. As competition in markets grows apace and consumers make ever more
demands on the companies from which they choose to purchase, marketers must be increasingly
sensitive to a multiple of shifting social cultural nuances.
his project takes concept from different disciplines like psychology, sociology, and economics.
It attempts to understand the buyer decision making process both individually and in group. It
deals with the physical and mental activities that customers engage in before, during and after
purchase. Considerable efforts have been made to present the study for customer satisfaction.
In this project, I analyzed the satisfaction level of the customer towards maruti Suzuki product.
For this I analyses several different aspects in the form of questionnaire or by micro analysis.
Several types of process are also followed in this project.Marketing or consumer research is a
method by which one can feel the nature of the market. It is used to find out the attitude of
consumer towards the product. It helps in explaining the fact that how consumer makes decision
in favor of certain brands.
I have put in my best efforts to complete this project in every aspect. I have referred all the
books and journals of this esteemed organization in this concern.

Future Prospectus of the Firm
Maruti Suzuki urged its component suppliers to make investment for the future as the company's
requirements are expected to grow, with it predicting double-digit expansion in annual sales at least
until 2020. The upbeat outlook from the local car market leader comes despite uncertainties over
diesel vehicles — with authorities increasingly bringing in stricter green rules — and the Society of
Indian Automobile Manufacturers cutting the industry's growth forecast.
Addressing 200-300 vendors in Bangkok towards the end of April, Maruti executives said the
company will be commissioning close to half a million capacity in the next three to four years,
according to several people who attended the meeting. Maruti is confident of a compounded annual
growth rate of 10% until 2020 to achieve its goal of making 2 million cars a year as part of its Vision
2.0, they said. A Maruti spokesperson called the information speculative and refused to
commentfurther.
A vendor who supplies to multiple auto makers told ET that while there is a word of caution
from other major car makers over growth forecast, Maruti appears certain about the future and is
encouraging its vendors to expand capacity and set up new plants where required. "Amid all the
uncertainties, the outlook was optimistic from the management.
Maruti Suzuki will continue to focus on small cars for now. Maruti Suzuki is confident that the
growth in the Indian car market will continue to be driven by small car segments and that he expects
the company to remain as a leader of what is one of the most hotly-contested segments in the Indian
car market.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the products
and services provided by a business.
It occurs when the experience obtained from transaction match expectation. Customer may
forget experience that match expectation. Although customer is generally notice and also
remember those experience that deviated from expectation.
This stage is particularly known as dissatisfaction, result into a feeling of dissonance in
case where an experience obtains from product fall short of expectations.
In opposite situations i.e state of satisfaction it may result into repurchase of product and
service as case may be.
In customer satisfaction, we have to analyze that what is good about the product and where
is need of the improvement.
In this project my main focus is to analyze the customer satisfaction on all of the different
things regarding maruti Suzuki products.
Customer satisfaction levels can be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires.
Gaining high levels of customer satisfaction is very important to a business because
satisfaction customers are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a
wide range of services offered by a business.
There are many factors which lead in high levels of customer satisfaction including
products and services which are customer focused and hence provide high levels of value
for money. What is clear about customer satisfaction is that customers are most likely to
appreciate the goods and services that they buy if they are made to feel special. This occurs
when they feel that the products and services that they buy have been specially produced
for them or for people like them.
Rationale Of The Study
To do this I collect data from both primary and secondary sources. I collected data pertaining
to annual reports of Maruti and its competitors, market share of various players in the market,
segment wise market share of players and also model wise performance of companies from
company and internet. The information pertaining to the number of distributors and the most
effective schemes of the companies from the Primary sources (Showrooms of the respective
companies). Then I calculate ratios of all the players and compare them. And find out the
reasons for any discrepancies. As I find out that Ford India is showing heavy losses because of
the overtake of U.S. automotive market by Japanese players mainly Toyota and Honda. Also
the Government is not supporting the companies. Due to this they have to shut down their
several plants. I also find out the ratios for last ten years of Maruti and find out in which year
Maruti has performed its best and which year was the worst for Maruti. As I found that Year
2013 was the worst year for Maruti because there was a strike in that year in the company and
also the company made heavy investments in that year. While doing segment wise analysis, I
found out that Maruti’s which model is facing toughest competition with which model like SX4
is facing competition with Honda city, Zen Estilo with Chevrolet spark. Zen Estilo is facing
competition with Chevrolet Spark because Maruti is known for best average of its models but
Chevrolet spark is providing a better average than Maruti’s models. It is providing an average
of 18 Km per liter.Moreover I have done comparison between marketing schemes and offers
and reach to the customers of Maruti and its competitors. Which scheme of the company has
created a spurt in the company’s sales? In the distribution system I find out the dealers and
showrooms information about the players in the market. And after analyzing all these things I
suggested to the company about any discrepancy between Maruti and Industry’s other players.
In the second part of the report I have presented the extracts of research on second hand car
market in India. Second hand car market in Japan is organized while in India it is
unorganized. In India only 20% share of second hand car market is organized out of which
Maruti share is 45%. In this segment Maruti is facing competition with Tata’s.
In the third part of the report I prepare a case study on the second hand car market showing
the current scenario of second hand car market globally and also in India.
lps us to understand the consumer’s satisfaction about services and products. It helps
companies to understand, how a consumer selects, organizes and interprets the Quality of
service and product offered by company.
The market is more aware and realistic about investment and returns from financial
products. In this background this study tries to analyze the customer satisfaction towards
services in particular.
A descriptive study tries to discover answers to the questions who, what, when, where, and,
sometimes, how. The researcher attempts to describe or define a subject, often by creating a
profile of a group of problems, people or events.
Such studies may involve the collection of data and the creation of a distribution of the number
of times the researcher observes a single event or characteristic (the research variable), or they
may involve relating the interaction of two or more variables. Organizations that maintain
databases of their employees, customers and suppliers already have significant data to conduct
descriptive studies using internal information. Yet many firms that have such data files do not
mine them regularly for the decision-making insight they might provide.
This descriptive study is popular in business research because of its versatility across
disciplines. In for-profit, not-for-profit and government organizations, descriptive investigations
have a broad appeal to the administrator and policy analyst for planning, monitoring, and
evaluating. In this context, how questions address issues such as quantity, cost, efficiency,
effectiveness, and adequacy.
Descriptive studies may or may not have the potential for drawing powerful inferences. It ,
however, does not explain why an event has occurred or why the variables interact the way they
do.
SAMPLE SIZE AND TECHNIQUES
Convenience sampling method is used for the survey of this project. It is a non-probability
sample. This is the least reliable design but normally the cheapest and easiest to conduct
.In this method Researcher have the freedom to choose whomever they find, thus the
name convenience. Example includes informal pools of friends and neighbors or people
responding to a newspaper’s invitation for readers to state their position on some public
issue.
SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size denotes the number of elements selected for the study. For the present study, 100
respondents were selected at random.
SAMPLING METHOD
A sample is a representative part of the population. In sampling technique, information is
collected only from a representative part of the universe and the conclusions are drawn on
that basis for the entire universe.
A convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from the respondents.
DATA COLLECTION
To know the response, I used questionnaire method. It has been designed as a primary
research instrument. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents and they were asked to
answer the questions given in the questionnaire.
Further, coding and analysis was done for each question’s response to reach into findings,
suggestions and finally to the conclusion about the topic.
TYPES OF DATA
Every decision poses unique needs for information, and relevant strategies can be
developed based on the information gathered through research. Research is the systematic
objective and exhaustive search for and study of facts relevant to the problem.
Research design means the framework of study that leads to the collection and analysis of
data. It is a conceptual structure with in which research is conducted. It facilitates smooth
sailing of various research operations to make the research as effective as possible.
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data are those collected by the investigator himself for the first time and thus they
are original in character, they are collected for a particular purpose.
A well-structured questionnaire was personally administrated to the selected sample to
collect the primary data.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data are those, which have already been collected by some other persons for
their purpose and published. Secondary data are usually in the shape of finished products.
Two types of secondary data were collected for the preparation of the project work:
Internal Data was generated from company’s brochures, manuals and annual reports
External Data, on the other hand, was generated from magazines, research books, intranet
and internet (websites). To know the response, the researcher used questionnaire method. It
has been designed as a primary research instrument. Questionnaires were distributed to
respondents and they were asked to answer the questions given in the questionnaire.
The questionnaires were used as an instrumentation technique, because it is an important
method of data collection. The success of the questionnaire method in collecting the
information depends largely on proper drafting. So in the present study questions were
arranged and interconnected logically. The structured questionnaire will reduce both
interviewers and interpreters bias.
Further, coding and analysis was done for each question’s response to reach into findings,
suggestions and finatomers for analysing their satifaction level. Some customers were selected for
fullfilling the questionnaire according to the objective of the study.
Data Analysis Tools
A questionnaire is prepared for the purpose of getting feedback from the customers for
analysing their satisfaction level. Some customers were selected for fulfilling the questionnaire
according to the objective of the study.
The analysis of the data is done as per the survey finding. The data is represented graphically
or diagrammatically.
The opinion of customers were analyzed and expressed in the form of charts and have been
placed in next fewer pages:

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Although the study was carried out with extreme enthusiasm and careful planning there are
several limitations, which handicapped the research viz,
1. Time Constraints:
The time stipulated for the project to be completed is less and thus there are chances that some
information might have been left out, however due care is taken to include all the relevant
information needed.
2. Sample size:
Due to time constraints the sample size was relatively small and would definitely have been
more representative if I had collected information from more respondents.
3. Accuracy:
It is difficult to know if all the respondents gave accurate information; some respondents tend
to give misleading information.
4. It was difficult to find respondents as they were busy in their schedule, and collection of
data was very difficult. Therefore, the study is based on the availability of respondents.

CONTRIBUTION &
LEARNING FROM
THE PROJECT
Contribution & Learning From the Project
In short, I would like to say that the very act of the concerned management at MARUTI
SUZUKIin critically examining consumer satisfaction towards all products and services
of the company is a step in their continual mission of making all round improvements as
a means of progress.
I found in this research that many of the customers are completely satisfied with its
product and overall services but some of them are not satisfied also. So there is need to
satisfy those customers and rating maruti Suzuki should be outstanding in all aspects.
I am sure the company has a very bright future to look forward to and will be a trailblazer
in its own right.
