INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from
comparing a product’s perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her
expectations. Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offer’s
performance in relation to the buyer’s expectations. If the performance falls short
of the expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the
expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations the
customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

A company would be wise to measure customer satisfaction regularly because one


key to customer retention is customer satisfaction. A highly satisfied customer
generally stays loyal longer, buys more as the company introduces new products
and upgrades existing products, talks favorably about the company and its
products, pays less attention to competing brands and is less sensitive to price,
offers product or service ideas to the company, and costs less to serve than new
customers because transactions are routine.

When customers rate their satisfaction with an element of the company’s


performance - say, delivery. It could mean early delivery, on-time delivery, order
completeness, and so on. The company must also realize that two customers can
report being “highly satisfied” for different reasons. One may be easily satisfied
most of the time and the other might be hard to please but was pleased on this
occasion. A number of methods exist to measure customer satisfaction.

Periodic surveys can track customer satisfaction directly. Respondents can also be
asked additional questions to measure repurchase intention and the likelihood or
willingness to recommend the company and brand to others. Companies that do
achieve high customer satisfaction ratings make sure their target market knows it.
For customer centered companies, customer satisfaction is both a goal and a
marketing tool. Although the customer-centered firm seeks to create high customer
satisfaction, that is not its ultimate goal.

If the company increases customer satisfaction by lowering its price or increasing


its services, the result may be lower profits. The company might be able to increase
its profitability by means other than increased satisfaction (for example, by
improving manufacturing processes or investing more on R&D). Also, the
company has many stakeholders, including employees, dealers, suppliers and stock
holders.

Spending more to increase customer satisfaction might divert funds from


increasing the satisfaction of other “partners”. Ultimately, the company must
operate on the philosophy that it is trying to deliver a high level of customer
satisfaction subject to delivering acceptable levels of satisfaction to the other
stakeholders, given its total resources.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN 7 STEPS

It's a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the business
of Website design, it's important to work closely with your customers to make sure
the site or system you create for them is as close to their requirements as you can
manage. Because it's critical that you form a close working relationship with your
client, customer service is of vital importance. What follows are a selection of tips
that will make your clients feel valued, wanted and loved.

1. ENCOURAGE FACE-TO-FACE DEALINGS:

This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer.
If you're not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience.
Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time. It's important to meet your
customers face to face at least once or even twice during the course of a project.
Suzuki believes that if a potential client spends over half the meeting doing the
talking, you're well on your way to a sale. In SMPIL always face to face dealing
with customer
2. RESPOND TO MESSAGES PROMPTLY & KEEP YOUR
CLIENTS INFORMED:

This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait message
and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if days for a response to
an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers'
queries within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back and let
them know you've received their you're not able to solve a problem right away, let
the customer know you're working on it.

Suzuki always listen customer problem and solve his queries and always have
communication with customer.

3. BE FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE:

It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like
you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you
want to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object - it happens
to all of us. It's vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as
best you can, and at all times remain polite and courteous.

In Suzuki showroom all workers are trained and well behave with customer.
Suzuki showroom’s staff very friendly with clients.
4. HAVE A CLEARLY-DEFINED CUSTOMER SERVICE
POLICY:

This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly defined
customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run.
If a customer has a problem, what should they do? If the first option doesn't work,
then what? Should they contact different people for billing and technical enquiries?
If they're not satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they
tell? There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to
person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do
at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make sure your
customer service policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be
useful.

In Suzuki all terms & conditions are clearly mentioned so that no doubt in
customer mind

5. ATTENTION TO DETAIL (ALSO KNOWN AS 'THE LITTLE


NICETIES'):

Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you were
a client of? Have you ever had a personalized sign-up confirmation email for a
service that you could tell was typed from scratch? These little niceties can be time
consuming and aren't always cost effective, but remember to do them.Even if it's as
small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers, it's something. It
shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that screen or
telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and
valued. Suzuki has keep detail of all customers and make them happy on specific
occasion.

6. ANTICIPATE YOUR CLIENT'S NEEDS & GO OUT OF YOUR


WAY TO HELP THEM OUT:

Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme level of
understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working relationship.

Suzuki always tries to know about customer needs and make the product
according to them.

7. HONOUR YOUR PROMISES:

It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple message:
when you promise something, deliver. The most common example here is project
delivery dates. Clients don't like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may
not get done, or you might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects
can be late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time.
1.2.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Survey research is the systematic gathering of information from respondents for


the purpose of understanding and/or predicting some aspects of the behaviors of
the population of interest. It is the most common method of collecting primary data
for marketing decisions. Survey can provide data on attitudes, feelings, beliefs,
past and intended behaviors, knowledge, ownership, personal characteristics and
other descriptive items.

Survey research is concerned with administration of questionnaires (interviewing).


The survey research must be concerned with sampling, questionnaire design,
questionnaire administration and data analysis. The administration of questionnaire
to an individual or group of individuals is called an interview. A questionnaire is
simply a formalized set of questions for eliciting information. As such, its function
is measurement and it represents the most common form of measurement in
marketing research.

The report has been prepared on the basis of information collected from different
sources. In order to achieve the objective of the project proper research method
was applied. After giving through brain storming session, objectives were selected
and the set on the base of these objectives, A questionnaire was designed major
emphasis of which was gathering new ideas or insight so as to determine and bind
out solution to the problems.
1.2.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 The objective of the study is research to measure customer satisfaction


towards SUZUKI ACCESS 125.
 To understand customer attitude towards Suzuki motorcycles.
 To measure customer satisfaction of Suzuki Access 125 owners.
 To know the tastes and preferences of people.
 To determine the customer’s satisfaction regarding two-wheeler and after
sales service.
 To find the reasons people buy Access 125 for.
1.2.3 RESEARCH DESIGN

This study is a mix of explorative and formal methodologies adopting


monitoring and observing to study the dealerships in Delhi and communication to
elicit responses from customers. This is a cross sectional study done during the
months March-May.

The study also aims at findings out the customer satisfaction level of SUZUKI
ACCESS 125cc.For the customer satisfaction study a questionnaire was
formulated containing 22 questions which were sent out for response mainly
through personal interviews of customers. Results of this step formed the basis of
the recommendations given to the company.
SOURCE OF DATA
The report has been prepared as per the information obtained from two sources.

They are:

 Primary data
 Secondary data
1. PRIMARY DATA :

The primary data is that which details we collect first time from the market
and also used first time in the research. To collect the primary data structured non
disguise questionnaire is prepared. Primary Data was very crucial to collect so as
to know various past & present consumer views about bikes/scooter and to
calculate the market share of this brand in regards to other brands. Fresh primary
data was collected by taking direct filling of a questionnaire from customer which
involved face to face, all the Suzuki customer who visited the dealership
showroom for the service of their bikes/scooters were questioned in order to find
out the behavior of customer.

2. SECONDARY DATA:

Secondary data are those which has been collected by some one else and which
already have been passed through statistical process. When the primary data are
sufficient, the researcher has to be satisfied with the primary sources of data.
Secondary data can be used as bases for comparison with primary data have been
collected by questionnaire. Secondary data has been taken from internet,
newspaper, magazines and companies web sites.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Researcher instruments is the tool by which the researcher can do research on


specific problems or objective. The most popular researcher instrument for
collection data is “Questionnaire” for a particular investigation. It is simple for a
moiled set of questions presented to respondents for their answers. Due to this
flexibility, it is most common instrument used to collect the primary data. During
the pre- testing of questionnaire, I seen the reaction of respondents and suggestions
required to make change in research instrument.

The questionnaire contains three types of questions.

1) OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS:
It is helpful in knowing what is uppermost in the mind of the respondents. It
gives complete freedom to the respondent.

2) DICHOTOMOUS QUESTIONS:-
It has only two answers in form ‘yes’ or ‘no’, ‘true’ or ‘false’, ‘use’ or ‘do
not use’. So the respondent is offered two or more choice.

3) MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION:-
this, the respondent is offered two or more choice.
SAMPLE DESIGN

Sampling is a process of obtaining. The information about the entire population by


examine a part of it .The effectiveness of the research depends on the sample size
selected for the survey purpose. For the customer satisfaction study a sample of
100 persons was chosen from the Suzuki’s dealership in Delhi.

SAMPLING PLAN:

Data collected has been analyzed and interpreted by using simple


percentage method and finally the data is presented in graphs and charts.

SAMPLING FRAME:

 Customers visiting showrooms for servicing their motorcycles


 Shopping malls, Supermarket, Markets, College parking etc

SAMPLE SITE:-
The survey was conducted in New Delhi.
SAMPLING UNIT:-

It means “Who is to be surveyed”. Here target population is decided


and it is who are interested to purchase “Scooter” and sampling frame is developed
so that every one in the target population has known chance of being sampled. So
the survey is conducted particularly in Delhi.

SAMPLE SIZE:-

For the purpose of proper survey, there is need of perfect research


instruments to find out sample size for more accurate result about buying behavior
of scooter. The sample size is 100 respondents.

SAMPLING METHOD :-

A Stratified random sample is one where the population is


divided in to mutually exhaustive strata or sub-group and then a simple random is
selected within each of strata on age groups, occupation etc. It may be noted that
stratification does not means absence of randomness. I use a simple random
sampling method.
LIMITATIONS

 This research is geographically restricted to Delhi only. Hence the result


cannot be extrapolated to other places.
 The study is restricted only to the organized sector of two wheeler
industry
 The seriousness of the respondents and their ability to justify their
answers may also be a limitation.
 The sample size is small due to the specified reasons.
 Findings are based on sample survey.
 All interview questions are undisguised or direct. Hence there is a scope
for the respondents to be biased or pretentious.
 During the survey most of the respondents contacted had newly
purchased the motorcycle thus they could not respond accurately i.e. their
satisfaction level and defects in the motorcycles.
 The research is directly concerned with the study of human preference
and behavior and achieving absolute mathematical accuracy towards this
was not possible.
CHAPTER-2
COMPANY PROFILE
SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES GLOBAL HISTORY

In 1909 Michio Suzuki founds the Suzuki Loom Company in Hamamatsu, Japan.
He builds industrial looms for the thriving Japanese silk industry. 1937 To
diversify activities, the company experiments with several interesting small car
prototypes, but none go into production because the Japanese government declares
civilian automobiles “non-essential commodities” at the onset of WWII.

In 1952 when due to financial problems Suzuki ventured into developing clip on
engines to bicycle frames. The first model was called the Power Free (36cc) and
the follow-up model was the Diamond Free (60cc). Suzuki produced its first
motorcycle in 1954 called the Colleda (90cc). Suzuki built small capacity bikes
during the 50s and 60s and had only small export success until the introduction of
the X6 (T20 super six), which gave Suzuki much name credibility. In 1962 Using
MZ’s technology, Suzuki wins the newly created 50cc class in the World
Championship.

The company will win the class every year until ’67, and win the 125cc class twice
in that period, too. With a well-established name Suzuki dared enter the big bike
market and in 1967 Suzuki introduced T500. Which was known as the Titan in
America and the Cobra in England? The name changed over the years to GT500
due to many improvements but it was purely the sharp price and good reliability,
which kept the GT in production until 1977.

In 1971 The GT7The Water Buffalo was introduced in 1971 in America and the
Kettle in Britain - both the same GT750 bike and the start for Suzuki to enter the
super bike market. The GT750 wasn't a very impressive machine and also couldn't
match the other bikes in the market at the time. Once again the production kept
going based on its demand for good price and reliability.

In 1974 The RE5 is the first Japanese motorcycle with a rotary engine. It cost a
fortune to develop and, while not bad, it’s a commercial disaster. After two years,
the company abandons the project, and there are rumors the tooling was dumped
into the sea so that Suzuki managers would never have to see it again. Most bikes
produced around the middle 70s had enough power but lacked a steady frame. The
introduction of the Suzuki GS1000 in 1978 changed this problem once and for all.
The GS out preformed every other bike in its category and had a frame to match its
power. The only thing, which could be said against the very popular and successful
GS1000, was its dull looks.

The GS1000 was redesigned and new models based on the same original success
bike were introduced. The GSX1000 in 1980 and the GSX1100S Katana in 1982.
The later bike was a huge success due to it powerful performance, funky style, low
weight and good pricing. In 1983 The RG250 is Suzuki’s first ever race replica.
This bike features the AL-BOX, square aluminum frame, 16-inch tire and Anti
Nose Dive Forks (ANDF) at the front. In 1985 The RG500 “Gamma” features the
same square-Four cylinder layout as the as the factory Grand Prix bikes. Other racy
features are the square-tube aluminum frame and the removable cassette-type
transmission.

Suzuki pulled a stunt within the motorcycle market by introducing the GSX-R750,
which was such a direct copy of their formula race bike with the only difference
that this GSX was, road legal. It turned the super sport motorcycle market upside
down and dominated the way super bikes would look for the future. The GSX-
R750 was super fast, which wasn't hard to understand since there were hardly any
changes to its racetrack design. Both on the street and in the race track the bike was
a huge success. In 1986 the GSX-R1100 was also added to the line.

In 1996 Suzuki calls the new GSX-R750 the ‘turning-point model’ thanks to its
twin-spar frame instead of the older double-cradle frame. The engine is also
redesigned and featured 3-piece crankcases, chrome-plated cylinders and a side-
mount cam chain as well as Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) system.

In 1997 The TL1000S is the first Suzuki sport bike with a V-Twin engine. It will be
followed a year later by a racier R version, with a dodgy rotary vane damping
system in the rear shock. Suzuki equipped the TL1000R with a steering damper,
but it was still prone to headshake and customers approached it with caution, if at
all.

In 1999 Mat Mladin wins the AMA Super bike Championship, beginning a run of
unprecedented dominance. Mladin will win five more times, and Suzuki will win 8
of the next 9 titles. With sport bikes getting more and more sharp edged, the
company is one of the first to recognize what might be called the ‘semi-sport’
market, as opposed to the super sport market. The SV650 features an aluminum-
alloy truss frame and a liquid-cooled 90° V-Twin DOHC 4-valve engine. Suzuki
calls the Hayabusa the ultimate aerodynamic sportbike. It’s powered by a 1298cc
liquid-cooled DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine that becomes the darling of land-
speed racers. The name means “peregrine falcon” in Japanese.

The GSX style and line didn't change much over all the years with improvements
being made to the bike. A small fluke in design made Suzuki lose its performance
lead with the GSX-R1100. But the GSX-R750 has remained a hit up until today.
Maybe still hurt by losing the performance edge with the GSX-R1100 redesign in
the 1990s Suzuki introduced the GSX-1300R (Hayabusa) in 1999. This sent the
Honda Blackbird packing and became the world's fastest production bike at a
whopping 190 mph (307 km/h).

In 2001 Suzuki introduced an upgrade GSX-R750 engine and created the GSX-
R1000 (998cc), which is a super bike with outstanding performance. In 2003 the
GSX-R1000 was restyled but still kept its position as a super class bike.

In 2005 Suzuki’s original 4-stroke motocross, the RM-Z450, is equipped with a 4-


stroke 449cc engine, which features the Suzuki Advanced Sump System (SASS).
Troy Corser gives Suzuki its first and only (so far) World Super bike
Championship.

In 2006 The M109R, Suzuki’s flagship V-Twin cruiser is powered by a 1783cc V-


Twin engine with 112mm bore and 90.5mm stroke. It has the largest reciprocating
pistons in any production passenger car or motorcycle.

In 2008 The B-King is launched, powered by the 1340cc Hayabusa engine; the B-
King is Suzuki’s flagship big ‘Naked’ bike. Suzuki says it has the top-ranked
power output in the naked category.
SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES INDIA HISTORY
Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt., Ltd. engages in manufacturing two wheelers. The
company’s products include motorcycles and scooters. It offers its products
through a network of dealers. The company was incorporated in 1997 and is based
in Gurgaon, India. Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt., Ltd. operates as the subsidiary of
Suzuki Motor Corp.

Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), a global giant of motorcycle manufacturing is


headquartered in Japan. It holds major stake in its Indian subsidiary, Suzuki
Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIL). SMIL was set up after Suzuki's re-entry
into the Indian two-wheeler market after it severed ties with partner TVS in 2000-
01. Suzuki was then the technology provider in the erstwhile joint venture
company TVS Suzuki.

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL) is the latest entry into the already
crowded Indian two-wheeler segment with players like Hero Honda, Bajaj Auto,
Honda, and TVS. SMIPL have started their Indian operations with a 125-cc mass-
market motorcycle. It has made an initial investment of Rs. 200 crores to start their
Indian operations.

Company sources have revealed that Suzuki would follow up this 125cc bike with
a high performance 150-cc sibling sometime next year. And for the budget
segment, another 100cc bike is expected in the first quarter of 2006. Mass market
is the initial aim with plans to enter all the segments rapidly. They have their
facilities located in Gurgaon.
Suzuki had launched bike by diwali, which is the auspicious time for buying a new
vehicle in Indian families. Their setup in Gurgaon has the capabilities of
manufacturing one lakh motorcycles and they are ready to step that up massively if
the situation arises. They already have setup 40 dealerships around the country and
are going to establish 4,000-5,000 sq.ft showroom and service stations to provide
services to the customers.

The parent company happens to be one of the largest manufacturers of two


wheelers in the world with more than 20 lakh bikes sold per annum. They are
popular for their range of high performance road machines, lightweight super
bikes, dirt bikes, street bikes, and motocross and fun bikes globally.
Plant area and production capacity:

They have installed their manufacturing plant in Gurgaon (Haryana) having the
annual capacity of 2,50,000 units. Total land area of the facility at Gurgaon is 37
acres out of which the present plant is constructed in an area of 6.5 acres of land.
The remaining area of 30.5 acres is left for land development and future expansion.

Managing Director:
Mr. Santoshi Uchida

Personnel over the years

Main Products
Motorcycles and scooters
The core philosophy of SUZUKI is to provide “VALUE-PACKED PRODUCTS”.
Since the founding of SUZUKI Motor Corporation, the Organization’s Endeavour
has always been to provide “VALUE-PACKED PRODUCTS” as one of the
manufacturing philosophies.

SUZUKI believes that “VALUE-PACKED PRODUCTS” come from the effort to


carry out Product development from customer’s point of view. This policy has been
in effect since Company’s inception and has helped the Organization to meet
customer’s needs. As a result, Suzuki’s Products have become well received
throughout the World.

SUZUKI is fully committed to create Products that meet customer’s demand by


utilizing its dynamic, long-nurtured technological advantage coupled with its fresh
and active human resources.

 Develop products of superior value by focusing on the customers


 Establish a refreshing and innovative company through teamwork
 Strive for individual excellence through continuous improvement
GROWTH REPORT:

Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has reported an impressive


overall growth of 58.6 per cent in domestic sales in June 2017, compared to
the corresponding month last year. In all, Suzuki sold 33,573 units in June
2017 as opposed to 21,170 units in June 2016, recording a sustained growth in
its overall performance. The company's total sales stood at 38,454 units as
against 30,188 units in June 2016. This is the fifth consecutive month in
which Suzuki has witnessed double digit growth in its total sales, inclusive of
exports.

Several factors have contributed to the growth. Suzuki's product offerings


along with increased customer networks, have enabled the brand to experience
a steady overall growth this year, the company said. Suzuki has also witnessed
a consistent growth in the big bike segment over the past few months. The
robustness of the economy has also added to the upward momentum.

The Suzuki Access 125 attracts a lot of consumer interest in the 125ccscooter
segment.

Clearly, the Goods and Service Tax (GST) introduced from 1 July 2017 hasn't
had much effect on sales of Suzuki scooters and motorcycles in June 2017,
when customer sentiment in the Indian two-wheeler industry has been
perceived to be uncertain. The change to GST from the earlier tax structure
has resulted in several two-wheeler manufacturers announcing benefits across
their model range.
FACILITIES
1 ) ENVIRONMENT:
The philosophy of keeping “environment first” is properly percolated downwards.
To comply with all applicable legislations and setting standards thereof remains

The biggest testimony of Suzuki’s commitments towards “environment first” is


seen at Gurgaon which is built to be a Zero discharge plant.

SMIPL have embraced Natural light optimization system and water harvesting
systems besides several other measures to create better and cleaner environment

 SUZUKI HAYABUSA
Suzuki bring the Hayabusa motorcycle to India. The Hayabusa – official
nomenclature is GSX 1300R – will pave the way for Suzuki’s foray into the
superbike segment in India. Competition, however, has already arrived in the shape
of Yamaha and Ducati motorcycles in India.

Powered by a 1340cc in line 4 cylinder engine, the Suzuki Hayabusa is likely to


sport a price tag of Rs 11 lakh. The bike was launched in the first week of
September 2008. Suzuki also launched a second superbike, the GSX-R 1000 in
November.Although boasting of a top speed of 397 km per hour as per recorded
figures, the bike that will come to India will have a speed limit of 299 km per hour.
Company think that the higher figure here is from some world record attempts,
while 299 km ph would be the official top speed. Do keep in though that superbike
or not, speed limits in most parts of India are at 60 kmph, and may go up to 100 km
ph on some of the expressways.Suzuki expects only a sale of around 150 units of
the Hayabusa in India per annum.

SUMMARY
AND
CONCLUSION
RECOMMENDATIONS

To increase the diversity of the products in different price segment so


as to increase presence of the brand and to improve the quality of after
sale service because after selling of a vehicle customer may has some
of the problem and customers come to solve their problem through
service and company should try to give proper service to satisfy
customer by solving their problem. Some other suggestions are as
follows:

 As people expect more mileage per kilometer, company should increase the
mileage of the Suzuki Vehicles.
 SMIPL should increase the production capacity as the customers have to
wait for 3-4 months for delivery of the Suzuki Access.
 Suzuki should introduce a low price moped.
 All parts should be available at service station. Because
sometime customer face the problem that parts are not available.
 Company should facilitate a Scheme for servicing Old Vehicles
so that the entire customer services their vehicle at company’s
service station.
 Suzuki increase in advertising in mass media to promote its sales.
 Company should manufacture motorcycles which can withstand for long
time on Indian roads.
 SMPIL should implement new marketing strategies to compete with Indian
competitor
CONCLUSION

Indian 2-wheeler industry is the second largest in Asia after China. After the
separation with Tvs Motors the main focus of Suzuki has been to capture the
Indian Market through its products which are best In terms of style & design.
Company’s recent Launches, Bikes like Suzuki Gixxer, GS150R, Hayabusa and
Scooter Suzuki Access have shaken the market leaders Like Bajaj, Hero & Honda
and is giving them a tough competition & soon going Launch Few More Bikes in
the market. But in a country like India where customer generally appreciates
mileage it becomes necessary for a company like Suzuki which produces Bikes
whose prices are very competitive to focus on other factors to which influence the
consumer choice of product like product diversity, after sale services, mileage and
much more.

After deep research, analysis and getting information about customer of Suzuki
Access 125 as formulated that Suzuki Access has success in the market and people
