A business is an organization or economic system where goods and services are exchanged
for one another or for money. Every business requires some form of investment and enough
customers to whom its output can be sold on a consistent basis in order to make a profit.
Businesses can be privately owned, not-for-profit or state-owned.

A business also known as enterprise. As a firm, is an organization involved in the trade of

goods, or both for consumers. An organization or economic system where goods and services
are exchanged for one another or for money. Every business requires some form of
investment and enough customers to whom its output can be sold on a consistent basis in
order to make a profit. First, businesses must be the result of individuals working together in
an organized way. Second, businesses must satisfy a societal need. Third, businesses must
seek to make a profit.

A grocery store is a retail store that primarily sells food. A grocer is a bulk seller of food.
Grocery stores often offer non-perishable food that is packaged in cans, bottles and boxes,
with some also having fresh produce, bakeries. Large grocery stores that stock significant
amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household items, are called
supermarkets. Some large supermarkets also include a pharmacy and an electronics section.

METHODOLOGY

2.1 Methodology:

Methodology means the state of order. The state of order in which the research planning
activities are conducted is called research planning methodology. These may be put in

4|Page
sequence as identification of problem, prioritization of researchable problems, monitoring
and midway correcting evaluation, publication of research data and discrimination of research
result.

2.2. Area Selection:

The survey was undertaken within the College gate market, Gazipur district of Bangladesh.
The following criteria were followed in the study area-

 The survey area was under within IUBAT area.

 Predominately Grocery business area.
 Easy Accessibility.
 Easy communication.
 Familiar within the market.

2.3 Population Selection:

Because of the short period of time, only 10 data of grocery businessman was collected as
population. Then the population was divided into three categories-small, medium and large

5|Page
businessman. There was a wide variation in the population of three kinds of businessman.
The number of small, medium and large businessman was 3, 3 and 4 respectively. Hence
10% of small, medium, large businessman selected following simple random procedure.

2.4 Sample selection:

After collecting all the data, I took from each group 30% as a sample using the simple
random procedure.

Size NO.

Small 3(30%)

Medium 3(30%)

Large 4(30%)

2.5 Collection of data:

A survey questionnaire was devised for collecting the necessary information from the sample
businessman. The questionnaire was pretested in the area of investigation to determine the
most relevant items and to evaluate consistency of these items with the objectives. While
some items related to primary data about the cost and returns of businessman general
information. Performance of grocery business facilities, consumption, and investment for
different practice per businessmen were added. These are as follows:

1. Socio-economic condition of grocery businessman. As for example-

 Number of family members.

 Family member's age, occupation, education.
2. Cost & return of different items. Such as- Income and expenditure from

 Agriculture including livestock.

 Business (Expenditure of Business such as transport cost, labor cost, shop rent, tax,
electricity bill, and others.)
3. Consumption of businessman .Such as

6|Page
  Basic Necessities (food, clothing, medical, education, repairing cost, housing cost,
etc.)
 Luxurious Needs (TV, computer, cosmetics, etc.)
4. Investment of businessman. Such as

 Invest in bank deposit.

 Invest in business and other sector.
Some additional information were gathered by conducting personal observation which the
author visited the study area. Some of the information like national level and education level
that data was collected from secondary sources.

2.6 Cost function:

There are two categories of cost associated with Grocery Business. These are as follows-
2.6.1 Fixed costs:
A fixed cost is a cost that remains constant, in total, regardless of changes in the level of
activity (Bhabatosh Banerjee,2006-2007). Fixed costs are costs that are independent of
output. These remain constant throughout the relevant range and are usually considered sunk
for the relevant range. In Grocery business, good examples of fixed costs are –
• Labor cost, Shop rent, Purchase of Fan, Fridge ,T.V, Computer, etc
2.6.2 Variable costs:
A variable cost is a cost that varies, in total, in direct proportion to changes in the level of
activity (Samwelson, 1964). Variable costs are costs that vary with output. Generally variable
costs increase at a constant rate relative to labor and capital. Examples of variable cost in
Grocery Business are- Electricity cost, Cost on food,
• Transport cost, food cost, clothing cost, education cost, housing cost electricity cost
etc.

2.7 Limitation of Data:

People are very busy with their business so they get disturbed to face different types
of questions.
I have some lack of knowledge and lack of experience because this kind of work is
first time done by me.

7|Page
 Because of the shortage of time, it was not possible to collect information of huge
samples.
Sometimes they get angry to explain about their income and expenditure as it is a
part of personal question.

2.8 Analytical technique:

The data was collected from three samples, the average data was calculated in case of family
size, education level, occupation level, income, expenditure, business expenditure, business
constraints etc. Thus it is compared with the national level of data and determined the
background of the businessman and calculated the percentage of data as well.

The data was helpful to identify the impact of Grocery businessman on income, consumption,
savings and investment of the business owners. However, the overall economic condition of
Grocery businessman has been extracted through the survey.

Tabular analysis was used to classify the data and derived meaningful findings by employing
arithmetic mean, percentage and ratio.

2.9 Period of study:

I study approxiately 3 months for preparing this report. The time line for preparing the report
is 10th september, 2016 to 28th november 2016. First data was collected from the selected
area that is College gate market, then analyze those data and then I prepare this report.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

9|Page
3.0 Review of literature:
Review of literature means current and past available literature is available. Our literature
review current and past available literature pertinent to the problems are reviewed
exhaustively for the purpose of –

(a) Obtaining an idea about the current status of the problem- what is known and what is left
to be known
(b) determining a research problem based on gap identify whether a research problem lying in
the gap would be relevant and practicable
(c) Avoiding repetitions of study on which information already available.

1. According to Mondal (1980) observe that the benefits for large businessman was always
hire than small and medium businessman.
2. According to Lumpkin and McConkey, (1984) found that satisfied customers were willing
to pay higher prices for products and showed that cost and returns especially for business
purpose in the case of item of large size business perform better than small business purpose.
3. According to Fram and Axelrod, (1990) and Aylott and Mitchell (1998) found that
customers associated more stress with grocery shopping than with other forms of shopping.

maintenance and research shows grocery customers are more concern about grocery shops
and quality.
5. According to T.Levesque and G.H.G. McDougall, (1996), the study investigated the major
determinant of customer satisfaction and future behavioral intensions in the retail banking
sector. The study identifies the determinants that include service quality dimensions. Service
features, service problems, service recovering and product use.
6. According to Baltas and Papastathopoulou, (2003) found that product quality and product
features were considered the most important product choice criteria in a study of Greek
grocery customers.

7. According to Gomez et al., (2004) showed that improvements in quality have a small
positive impact on satisfaction while reductions in quality of the same magnitude have a
significantly greater chance of reducing satisfaction for grocery shop customers.
