INTRODUCTION
Its been recognized that services present special challenges. Attraction, retention and building of strong customer relationship through quality service are the heart of service sector industries. Services are deeds, processes and performances. Broadly it can be defined as follows:
Services include all economic activities whose output is not a physical product or construction, but it is generally consumed at the time it is produced, and provide added value in forms such as amusement, convenience, comfort etc that are essentially intangible concerns of its first purchaser.
Service Marketing concepts and strategies have developed in response to the tremendous growth of service industries resulting in their increased importance in world economies. There is something different about marketing and managing services. New trends are being developed that will shape the need and continue the need for services marketing concepts and tools.
Philip Kotler has defined Service marketing as: Any act or performance that one party can offer to another,
that is essentially intangible and does not result to the ownership of anything. Its production may or may not be tied to a physical product.
Technology has been the basic force behind service innovation. Technology is providing vehicles for delivering existing services in more assessable, convenient, productive ways. It has enabled both customers and employees to be more effective in getting and providing service.

Company
External Marketing Making Promises
CustomersProducer
The services marketing triangle shows the 3 interlinked groups that work together to develop, promote and deliver services. Between the three points of triangle there are three types of marketing that must be successfully carried out for a service to succeed external and interactive marketing. All these activities resolve around making and keeping promises to customers. For services all three types of marketing activities are essential for building and maintaining relationships with customers.
External Marketing Making Promises Through its external marketing efforts a company makes promises to its customers regarding what they can expect and how it will be delivered.
Interactive Marketing Keeping Promises This is the most critical type of marketing activity from the customers point of view. Interactive marketing occurs in the moment of truth when the customers interact with the organization and the service is produced and consumed. Promises are kept or broken and the reliability of service is related every time the customer interacts with the organization. International Marketing Enabling Promises Service providers must have the skills, abilities, tools and motivation to deliver. They must be enabled. Promises are easy to make but unless

provided with tools and rewards for good service, the promises may not be kept. This is important as the employee satisfaction is linked with the customer satisfaction.

Meaning of Customer Happiness
Customer happiness can be said as customers satisfaction, fulfillment and delight towards the service provided. It is a judgment that a product or service feature, or the product or service itself, provides a pleasurable level of consumption related fulfillment.
Satisfaction is the customers evaluation of a product or service in terms of whether that product or service has met their needs and expectations. Failure to meet needs and expectation is brought to dissatisfy with the product or service.
Factors Influencing Customer happiness
Product and service features Consumer emotions Attributions for service success or failure Perceptions of equity or fairness
Product and Service Features
Customer happiness with a product or service is influenced significantly by the customers evaluation of product or service features. Research has shown that customers of services will make trade offs among different service features (price, quality and etc), depending on the type of service being evaluated and the criticality of the service.

Consumer Emotions
Actually, there are 2 types of emotion that are given below: -
Positive emotions
Negative emotions
The emotions can be stable, pre existing emotions e.g. mood state or life satisfaction. For example, when you are on vacation or at a very happy stage in your life, good mood and positive frame of mind has influenced, you will respond positively to that service.
Attributions for Service Success or Failure
Attributions the perceived causes of events influence perceptions of satisfaction as well. When the customer has been surprised by an outcome (the service which is better or worse than expected), customers tend to look for the reasons and their assessments for the reasons can influence the satisfaction.
Perceptions of Quality or Fairness Always, customers will ask themselves whether they have been treated fairly compared with other customers. Notions of fairness are central to customers perceptions of satisfaction and happiness with products or services.

Components of Customer Happiness and satisfaction
The factors that make the customer happy and delighted are given below: 1. Service Quality
Reliability Responsiveness Assurance Empathy Tangibles
2. Product Quality 3. Price 4. Situational Factors 5. Personal factors
Service Quality Dimensions
Ultimately, customers judge the quality of services on their perceptions of the technical outcome provided and on how that outcome was delivered. The service quality dimensions consist of: -
1. Reliability that is ability to perform the promised service dependable
and accurately.
2. Responsiveness that is the willingness to help customers and provide
prompt service.
3. Assurance that is the employees knowledge and courtesy and their
ability to inspire trust and confidence.
4. Empathy that is the caring, individualized attention given to customers.
5. Tangibles that are appearance of physical facilities, equipment,
personnel, and written materials.
-
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

In the case of airline industry, how customers judge the 5 dimensions of service quality is given below:
Reliability: Flights to promise destinations depart and arrive on schedule.
Responsiveness: Prompt and speedy system for ticketing, in-flight,
baggage handling
Assurance: Trusted name, good safety record, competent employees
Empathy: Understanding of special individual needs, anticipates customer
needs
Tangibles: Aircraft, ticketing counters, baggage area, uniforms
Satisfaction normally involves the eliminating problems. It goes beyond to the concept of delight, which is the positive surprise. It is the highest level of satisfaction and it transfers to better outcomes that can be achieved through other levels of satisfaction. The customer is satisfied with a defect rate of 0.01%, but if we could eliminate defects altogether, then the customer would be delighted.
Delight leads to behavioral outcomes that are substantially better than mere satisfaction. A delighted and happy customer will go for repurchase, will have a positive word of mouth there be increasing profit and sales of the organization. Thus customer happiness will lead to new customer generation and retention of he existing customer.

How do the customers form their expectations?
Expectations are formed on the basis of the buyers past buying experience, statements made by friends and associates, and marketer and competitor information and promises. If marketers raise expectations too high, the customer is likely to be disappointed. On the other hand, some successful companies are raising expectations and delivering performance to match.
These companies aim high because customers who are just satisfied will still find it easy to switch suppliers when a better offer comes along. These who are highly satisfied are less ready to switch. The fact is that high satisfaction and happiness or delight creates an emotional affinity with the brand, not just a rational preference and this creates high customer loyalty.
Level of Happiness
Customer happiness level is a function of the difference between perceived performance and expectations. A customer could experience one of the 3 broad levels of happiness.
If the performance of the service provided comes below the
expectations of the consumer, the customer is unhappy about the
service.
If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is happy
about the service.
If the performance exceeds the expectations, the customer is highly
delighted or happy with the service provided.

JET AIRWAYS LAUNCHES IPO
The purpose of the IPO is to gain benefits of listing to enhance visibility and brand name, raise capital and retire certain outstanding debt of IFC and IDFC. Jet Airways has reserved 1,200,000 equity shares for subscription by employees at the offer price. Thus, the net offer to public would be 16,066,801 equity shares.
Jet Airways announced the details of its IPO 11 Feb 2005. The Jet Airways IPO will be of 1.72 crore shares of Rs 10 each to raise a maximum of up to Rs 1942.50 crore. The price band for the issue has been fixed at Rs. 950 and Rs. 1,125 per share. Of the total offer, Jet Airways is making fresh issue of 1.42 crore equity shares and balance 30.21 lakh shares are an offer for sale by TailWings Ltd. The combined offer constitutes 20 per cent of fully diluted post offer paid up equity capital of the company. A part of the proceeds of IPO would be used to retire some debt of the company. The company executive director Saroj Datta said that the brand and trademarks would be transferred to Jet Airways by Jet Enterprises. The valuation for IPO pricing had to be done by comparing it with foreign airlines as none of the airlines are listed on the Indian stock exchanges. Earlier, two Indian airlines had issued shares and their stocks were listed on stock exchanges. But, these companies later folded their operations.

revenues surged 24 per cent to Rs 4,420 crore. With its planes flying fuller and after a couple of fare increases through the year, the airline has managed to counteract the effects of a rising wage bill and surging fuel costs.
The number of passengers boarding the company's planes rose 17.9 per cent during the year. Jet Airways has managed a challenging cost environment reasonably well in 2004-05. Competition also had an inflationary impact on selling and distribution expenses. But the company appears to have managed the challenging environment reasonably well.

Statement of the Problem: -
Nowadays, the passengers have more options to travel by preferable airlines. So success to meet needs and expectations is assumed to be the result in satisfaction with the service. Jet Airways, today, recognize that it can compete more effectively by distinguishing itself with respect to service quality and improved customer satisfaction and happiness. Jet Airways would like to know passengers whether they have been satisfied and happy by the quality and service of Jet Airways. So the study of customer happiness has been conducted.
Objectives of the Study: -
1. To find out customer satisfaction and expectation towards Jet
Airways.
2. To find out agencies' opinion about the customer satisfaction
towards Jet Airways.
3. To determine the level of happiness of Jet Airways passengers.
4. To know about the operation of the Jet Airways.
5. To know the customers' reaction towards the company's service.
6. To know how to make successful service towards the customer
satisfaction and expectation.
7. To find out how to improve the service quality and get rid of sources
of dissatisfaction and make the customers happy .
8. To maintain the customer satisfaction to be the delighted and happy
customer.
The ultimate goal of the study is to find out the actual level of happiness among the passengers of Jet Airways and in turn to convert unhappy customers into satisfied and delighted customers, respectively.
-
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness
35
Need for the Study: -
Whether the buyer is satisfied and happy after purchase depends on the offer performance in relation to the buyers expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly delighted and happy.
Now companies are aiming to delight the customers because customers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. Those who are highly satisfied and happy are much less ready to switch to other companies. Delight creates an emotional bondage with the brand.
The need for this study is to know whether the customers are happy with the airline services they are using. Customers satisfaction and delight depends on the service quality provided by the airline company.
Purpose of the Study: -
The scope of the study is to judge the level of happiness of passengers of Jet Airways, whether the passengers are satisfied with their service.
Limitation of the Study: -
1. The survey is conducted in Bangalore city only.
2. Due to time constraint, sample size for passengers and agencies
was restricted to 50 and 10 respectively.

Tools used for testing of hypothesis: -
Chi Square Test
Chi square is non parametric test used by marketing researchers to test hypothesis. This test is employed for testing hypothesis when distribution of population is not known and when nominal data is to be analyzed. With the help of chi square, it can be ascertained whether the given discrepancy between theory and observation is due to change or whether it is due to failure of theory to fit into the observed facts.
In this project chi square test was used to determine whether there was any association between two options. It was also used to find the effectiveness of any option or preference. Formulae used for calculating the value of chi square is as follows:
The expected frequency can either be taken arbitrary assigned or determined mathematically from the observed information. The table value was taken from the chi square table corresponding to the degree of freedom that was obtained from the frequency table.

HYPOTHESIS
Testing of Hypothesis
Hypothesis testing: Hypothesis testing begins with an assumption called a hypothesis that we make about a population parameter. A hypothesis is a supposition made as a basis for reasoning. According to Prof. Morris Hamburg, A hypothesis in statistics is simply a quantitative statement about a population. Palmer O Johnson has beautiful described hypothesis as Islands in the uncharted seas of thought to be used as bases for consolidation and recuperation as we advance into the unknown.
Procedure of Testing Hypothesis
1. Set up a hypothesis: The first thing in hypothesis testing is to set up a hypothesis about a population parameter. The conventional approach to hypothesis testing is not to construct a single hypothesis about the population parameter, but rather to set up two different hypotheses. This hypothesis must be so constructed that if one hypothesis is accepted, the other is rejected and vice versa.
The two hypothesis in a statistical test are normally referred to as: Null Hypothesis Alternative Hypothesis
The null hypothesis is a very useful tool in testing the significance of difference. In its simplest form the hypothesis asserts that there is no real difference in the sample and the population in the particular matter under consideration (hence the word null which means invalid, void, or amounting to nothing) and that the difference found is accidental and unimportant arising out of fluctuations of sampling.

As against the null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis specifies those values that the researcher believes to hold true, and, of course, he hopes that the sample data lead to acceptance of this hypothesis as true.
The null and alternative hypothesis is distinguished by the use of two different symbols, Ho and Ha representing the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis, respectively.
2. Set Up a Suitable Significance Level: Having set up the hypothesis, the next step is to test the validity of Ho against that of Ha at ascertains level of significance. The confidence with which an experiment rejects or retains a null hypothesis depends upon the significance level adopted. The significance level is customarily expressed, as a percentage, such as 5 per cent, is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true.
3. Setting a Test Criterion: The third step is to construct a test criterion. This involves selecting as appropriate probability distribution for the particular test, that is, a probability distribution that can properly be applied. Some probability distributors that are commonly used in testing procedures are t, F and chi square. Test criteria must employ an appropriate probability distribution; for example, if only small sample information is available, the use of the normal distribution would be inappropriate.
4. Doing Computations: Having taken the first three steps, we have completely designed a statistical test. We now precede to the fourth step performance of various computations from a random sample of size n,
Ho: Null Hypothesis)
Ha: Alternative Hypothesis)

necessary for the test. These calculations include the testing statistic and the standard error of the testing statistic.
5. Making Decisions: Finally, we may draw statistical conclusions and take decisions. A statistical conclusion or statistical decision is a decision either to reject or to accept the null hypothesis. The decision will depend on whether the computed value of the test criterion falls in the region of rejection or the region of acceptance.
Two Types of Errors in Testing of Hypothesis
When a statistical hypothesis is tested, there are four possibilities as given below:
1. The hypothesis is true but our test rejects it. (Type I error) 2. The hypothesis is false but our test accepts it. (Type II error) 3. The hypothesis is true but our test accepts it. (Correct decision) 4. The hypothesis is false but our test rejects it. (Correct decision)
Accept Ho Reject Ha
Ho is true.
Ho is false.
Obviously, the first two possibilities lead to errors.
