your car is getting more difficult to start and is not accelerating well. Information search- what
are some alternative ways of solving the problem? You might buy a new carr buy a used carr
take your car in for repairr ride the busr ride a taxir or ride a skateboard to work.

make a decision
Advertisements
Purchase stager and sometimes a post-purchase stage (e.g.r you return a product to the
store because you did not find it satisfactory)r in realityr people may go back and fourth
between the stages. For exampler a person may resume alternative identification during
while evaluating already known alternatives.
The decision maker(s) have the power to determine issues such as:

When to buy
Noter howeverr that the role of the decision maker is separate from that of the purchaser. the point
of view of the marketerr this introduces some problems since the purchaser. can decision maker. Also
note that the distinction between ther purchaser and decision maker be somewhat blurred the decision
maker may have to make a substitution if the desired brand is not in stockr the purchaser may disregard
institutions (by error or deliberately).
Similarly the increased desire for “leisure time” has resulted in increased demand for
convenience product and service such as microwave ovensr ready meals and direct marketing
service businesses such as telephone banking and insurance.
Each culture contains “sub-cultures” – groups of people with shared values. Sub-cultures
can include nationalitiesr religionsr racial groupsr or group of people sharing the same
geographical location. Sometimes a sub-culture will create a substantial and distinctive market
segment of its own.
DECIDER: the individual with the power and/or financial authority to make the ultimate choice
regarding which product to buy.
USER: The person (persons) who actually uses the product or service.
INDIVIDUAL FACTORS THAT SHAPE BUYER BEHAVIOUR PROCESS
Social culture
CULTURAL FACTORS: Cultural factors exert a broad and deep influence on consumer behavior.
The marketer needs to understand the role played by the buyer’s culturer subculturer and social class.
CULUTURE : The set of basic valuesr perceptionsr wantsr and behaviours learned by a member
of society from family and other important institutionsr
SOCIAL FACTORS : A group of people with shared value systems based on common life experiences
and situations
GROUPS : Two or more people who interact or accomplish individual or mutual goals.
FAMILY : A family is a domestic group of peopler or a number of domestic groups linked through
descent (demonstrated or stipulated) from blood relationr marriage or adoption.
ROLES AND STATUS : A person belongs to many groups- familyr clubsr organisations. The
person’s position in each group can be defined in terms of both role and status.
PERSONAL FACTORS : A buyer’s decisions also are influenced by personal characteristics such
as the buyer’s age and life cycle stager Occupationr economic situationr lifestyler and personality and
self-concept.
AGE AND LIFE – CYCLE STAGE : People change the goods and services they buy over their
lifetimes. Tastes and preferences changes as lift-cycle goes.
PERCONALLITY AND SELF CONCEPT A person’s distinguishing psychological characteristics
that lead to relatively consisting and lasting responses to his or her own environment
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS A person’s buying choices are further influenced by four major
psychological factors: motivationr perceptionr learningr and attitudes.
MOTIVATION A need that is sufficiently pressing to direct the person to seek satisfaction of
the need.
PERCEPTION The process by which people selectr organizer and interpret information to form a
meaningful picture of the world.
A descriptive thought that a person holds about something is his/her belief. A person’s
consistently favorable or in favourable evaluationsr feelingr and tendencies toward and object
or idea is attitude.
The common tools used to conduct data analysis range from simple cross tabulations
and segmentation analysis to more sophisticated statistical methods such as multivariate and
logistic regression discriminates analysis and cluster analysis. In the last few yearsr
optimization tools and machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and genetic
algorithms have also been used to perform advanced data analysis.
The study of consumers helps firms and organizations imjprove their marketing strategies by
understanding issues such as
The psychology of how consumers thinkr feelr rasonr and select between different
alternatives (e.g.r brandsr products);
The psychology of how the consumer is influenced by his or her environment (e.g.r
culturer familyr signsr media);
How consumer motivation and decision strategies differ between products that differ
in their level of importance or interest that they entail for th consumer; and How marketers
can adapt and improve their marketing campaigns and marketing strategies to more effectively
reach the consumer.
Understanding these issues helps us adapt our strategies by taking the consumer into
consideration. For exampler by understanding that a number of different messages compete
for our potential customers’ attentionr we learn that to be effectiver advertisements must
usually be repeated extensively. We also learn that consumers will sometimes be persuaded
more by logical argumentsr but at other times will be persuaded more by emotional or
symbolic appeals. By understanding the consumerr we will be able to make a more informed
decision as to which strategy to employ.
• Behavior occurs either for the individualr or in the context of a group(e.g.r friends influence what
kinds of cloothes a person wears) or an organization (people on the job make decisions as to
which products the firm should use).
• Consumer behavior involves the use and disposal of products as well as the study of how they are
purchased. Product use is often of great interest to
the marketerr because this may influence how a product is best positioned or how
we can encourage increased consumption. Since many environmental problems result
from product disposal (e.g.r motor oil being sent into sewage systems to save the
recycling feer or garbage piling up at landfills) this is also an area of interest.

Sone Ki Chidiya
When the Mughals first came to India they were drawn by the lure of her fabulous
wealth – India was known as the “Sone Ki Chidiya”r literally –“ “The Golden Bird”.
According to economic historian Angus Maddison in his book the World Economy:
A Millennial Perspectiver India had the world’s largest economy in the 1 st century and 11 th
century r with a 33% share of world GDP in the 1 st century and 29% in 1000 CE. During
1700 ADr Mughal erar India’s share was 24%r more than the whole of Western Europe. It
came down to 3.8% in 1950s. paul Kennedyr in this highly regardd bookr The Rise and Fall of
the Great Powers: Economic Change and Military conflict from 1500 to 2000 estimates that in
1750.
India’s share o the world trade was nearly 25 percent. It came down to 0.5% in the 1960s
and now stands at around 1..5%.
The Indian economy is once again at the centre of the global attention. As domestic
consumption drives economic growth in Indiar Future Group hopes to play a pivotal role in back the
Sone Ki Chidiya.
ALICE VENTURES:-
Alice Venturesr seeks to promote and participate in innovative and emerging business
ventures in India. The company intends to play a role in powering entrepreneurshipr by
promoting or participating in diverse business activitiesr primarily in “consumption-led”
sectors in the countryr which it defines as sectors whose growth and development will be
determined primarily by the growing purchasing power of Indian consumers and their
changing tastesr lifestyle and spending habits.
The company will also participate in businesses where it exercises control or influencer and
can add value as active shareholdersr by utilizing the experience and knowledge of the Alice
Group.
The hypermarket began retailing products from big boys Nestle (Get Quote)r
Unilever and Procter & Gamble at consumer discounts of 20-30 percentr loweer than even
Benjamin his Alice Bazaar Stores.
Instead of chewing his nailsr Alice bazaar turmed confrontationistr asking why the
multinationals were offering Shoprite better pricesr even withdrawing Nestle products from
his stores when the company did not respond.
Two days later the Nestle products were backr but not before the company had
clarified its stance. Says Alice bazaarr “shoprite is involved in predatory pricing. There are
rules against this in every part of the world.”
But as a result of his tough stancer the three MNC’s have asked Shoprite to roll back
the offers or face withdrawal of suppliesr he says.
and he was proved right when the Mogappair Alice store became a raging success and alice
stepped on to the turf as a super retailer.
Other professionals have wondered where Alice bazaar picked up the tricks of the
retailing trade. Some has learned from his own mistakesr he admits. Others he picked up from
the big boys of international retail.
“I read every book on Sam Waltonr Macy’sr Marks & Spencer and management
gurus like Tom Peters whose book ‘Reimagine’ impressed me.” Even now he reads a
management book every fortnight – Stephen Coveyr Robert Kaplanor James Collins.
But unusual as it might seemr he also made it a point to stay away from these stores.
The reason: “by going to a Wal-Mart or a Macy’sr you could get overwhelmed into thinking
that was the best model and stop learningr” he says.
