CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION


10/27

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

Two-Wheeler industry is one of the largest industries in the automobile sector of global

market. Being the leader in product and process technologies in the manufacturing sector, it

has been recognized as one of the drivers of economic growth. During the last decade, well-

directed efforts have been made to provide a new look to the automobile policy for realizing

the sector's full potential for the economy. The liberalization policies have led to continuous

increase in competition which has ultimately resulted in modernization in line with the global

standards as well as in substantial cut in prices. Aggressive marketing by the auto finance

companies have also played a significant role in boosting automobile demand, especially

from the population in the middle income group.

Presently many international brands like Honda, Suzuki, etc. are competing with Pakistani

brands such as Hero, Star etc. to capture Pakistani markets.

These aggressive marketing strategies have resulted in making the consumer the major key

for success in the industry. Each product offering is now designed to meet and exceed the

expectations of the consumer. But understanding consumer behaviour and knowing

consumers is never simple. And it is more difficult that to understand what a consumer

perceives about the product. Customers may say one thing but do another. They may not be

in touch with their deeper motivations. They may respond to influences that change their

minds at the last moment.

1.2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF STUDY

1.2.1. Market

The term marketmay be considered as a convenient meeting place where buyers and sellers

gather together for the exchange of goods and services. Market means a group of people

having unmet wants, purchasing power to make their demand effective and the will to spend

their income to fulfill those wants. Today a market is equated with the total demand.

The American marketing association defines a market, as the aggregate demand of potential

buyers for a product or service.


11/27

Under keen competition, a marketer wants to create or capture and retain the market i.e.

customer demand through an appropriate marketing mix offered to a target market. The

market offering i.e. supply must meet customer demand, which are unmet needs and desires.

1.2.2. Marketing

Marketing is a comprehensive term and it includes all resources and set of activities

necessary to direct and facilitate the flow of goods and services form the producer to the

consumer through the process of distribution. Businessmen regards marketing as a

management function to plan promote and deliver products to the clients or customers.

Human efforts, finance and management constitute the primary resources in marketing.

We have twin activities, which are most significant in marketing:

1. Matching the product with demand i.e. customer needs and desires or the target market.

2. The transfer of ownership and possession at every stage in the flow of goods from the

primary producer to the ultimate consumer.

The American marketing association defines marketing as the process of planning and

executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to

create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives.

1.2.3. Marketing Management

Marketing management represents an important functional area of business management

efforts for the flow of goods and services from the producer to the consumers. It looks after

the marketing system of the enterprise. It has to plan and develop the product on the basis of

known customer demand.

Marketing management may be defined as, a process of management of marketing programs

for accomplishing organizational goals and objectives.

Marketing management has to build up appropriate marketing plan or marketing mix to fulfill

the set goals of the business. It has to formulate sound marketing policies and programs. It

looks after their implementation and control. It has to implement marketing strategies,

programs and campaigns. It must evaluate the effectiveness of each part of marketing mix

and introduce necessary modifications to remove discrepancies in the actual execution of

plans, policies, strategies, procedures and programs.


12/27

1.2.4. Marketing Mix

Marketing mix is the set of marketing tools the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives in

the target market.

There are four elements or variables that make a marketing mix, they are:

1. Decisions on product or service.

2. Decisions on promotion

3. Decisions on price

4. Decisions on distribution.

The four ingredients are closely interrelated. Under the systems approach the decision in one

area affects action in the other. Marketing mix decisions constitute a large part of marketing

management.

According to Philip Kotler the term marketing mix is, the set of controllable variables that

the firm can use to influence the buyers response. In the simplest manner, the basic

marketing mix is the blending of four inputs or sub mixes, which form the core of the

marketing system.

Product mix decision refers to decisions on product variety, quality, design, features, brand

image, packaging, sizes, services, warranties and returns.

Price mix decision refers to decisions on the product list price, discounts, allowances, andpayment period and credit terms available.

Place mix decision refers to decisions on the channels, coverage, assortments, locations,

inventory and transport of the market offering.

Promotion mix decisions refer to decisions on the products advertising, sales promotion, sales

force, public relations and direct marketing. Together they form the four Ps of marketing.

1.2.5. Marketing Planning

A marketing plan lies down in writing the marketing objectives, programs and policies to be

adopted to achieve the set marketing objectives. Even before an integrated marketing plan is

prepared the company shall prepare functional plan for each component of marketing mix. To

have a sound marketing plan, every operation is to be examined and the problems are to be

identified. The overall marketing plan should be linked to the distribution channel of the

company to have effective marketing operations.

The marketing planning covers the preparation of functional plans, integration of this plan

and the preparation of master marketing plan to serve the objective of the organization.Marketing planning is bound to get a better hold of environmental factor.


13/27

1.2.6. Marketing Research

Marketing research is the systematic gathering, recording and analyzing of the data about

problems connected to the marketing of goods and services i.e. problems relating to product,

price, promotion and distribution of the 4ps of the marketing mix.

Marketing research is concerned with all those factors, which have a direct impact upon the

marketing of products and services. Marketing research has grown along with the expanded

role of marketing as the focus for the business decision-making.

1.2.7 Need of marketing research

Marketing research is conducted for different purposes. They are:

1. To estimate the potential market for a new product.

2. To know the reactions of consumers to a product already existing in the market.

3. To find out the general marketing condition and tendencies.

4. To know the types of consumer buying and their buying motives.

5. To know the reactions of failure of a product already in the market.

6. To assess the strength and weakness of competitors.

1.2.8 Consumer

A person who purchase or has the capacity to purchase the goods of service often for sale by

the marketing firm in order to satisfy personal need and desires.

1.2.9 Perception

Perception is the sensing of stimuli external to the individual organism the act or process of

comprehending the world in which the individual exists.

Perception has been defined by social psychologists as the Complex process by which

people select organize and interpret sensory stimulation in to a meaningful and coherent

picture of the work.

1.2.10 Attitude

Social psychologist defined attitude as an emotionalized predisposition to respond positively

or negatively to an object. Predisposition can be thought of as categories of meaning stored in

the memory of a person and are based on previous experience. Predisposing the person to

have in specific manner towards a certain objects in the environment.


14/27

1.2.11 Brand

A brand is a name, term, symbol, design or a combination of them which is intended to

identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from

those of competitors.

1.2.12. Consumer Behavior

The term consumer behaviorcan be defined, as, the behavior that the consumer display in

searching for, purchasing, using and evaluating products, services and ideas, which they

expect, will satisfy their needs. The study of consumer behavior enables marketers to

understand and predict consumer behavior in the market place; it also promotes

understanding of the role that consumption plays in the lives of individuals.

Consumer behavior refers to all psychological social and physical behavior of potential

consumers as they become aware of, evaluate, purchase and consume and tell others about

products and services. It is the pattern of response of buyers to marketing offer of a firm. It

refers to the process as how consumers make their purchase decisions. It is concerned with

what, why, how much, when and from whom buyers make their purchases of goods and

services.

1.2.13 Model of consumer behavior

The starting point of understanding consumer behavior is the stimulus-response model.

Marketing and environmental stimuli enter the buyers consciousness. The buyers

characteristics and decision process lead to certain purchase decisions. The marketers task is

to understand what happens in the buyers consciousness between the arrival of outside

stimuli and the buyers purchase decisions.

1.2.14. Major Factors Influencing Consumer Behavior

Consumers buying behavior is influenced by cultural, social, personal and psychological

factors.

Cultural Factors

Cultural factors exert the broadest and deepest influence on consumer behavior. The roles

played by the buyers culture, subculture and social class are particularly important.

o Culture

Culture refers to that complex whole which includes in it knowledge, beliefs, art or

anything man acquires as a member of society.


15/27

o Subculture

Each culture consists of smaller subcultures that provide more specific identification and

socialization for their members. Sub cultures include nationalities, religions, racial groups

and geographic regions.

o Social Class

Virtually all-human societies exhibit social stratification. Stratification sometimes takes

the form of a caste system where the members of different castes are reared for certain

roles and cannot change their caste membership more frequently; stratification takes the

form of social class.

Social Factorso Reference Groups

A persons reference groups consists of all the groups that have a direct or indirect

influence on the persons attitudes or behavior.

o Family

The family is the most important consumer buying organization in the society and it

constitutes the most influential primary reference group.

o Roles and statuses

A person participates in many groups, family, clubs, organizations etc. The persons

position in each group can be defined in terms of role and status. A role consists of the

activities that a person is expected to perform. Each role carries a status.

Personal Factors

o Age and stage in the life cycle

People buy different goods and services over their lifetime. Taste in clothes, furniture and

recreation is all age related.

Consumption is shaped by the family life cycle. Marketers often choose life-cycle groups

as their target market.

o Occupation and economic circumstances

Occupation also influences a persons consumption pattern.

Product choice is greatly affected by economic circumstances; spendable income, savings

and assets, debts, borrowing power and attitude toward spending versus saving.

o Lifestyle


16/27

People from the same subculture, social class, and occupation may lead quite different

lifestyles. A lifestyle is the persons pattern of living in the world expressed in activities,

interests and opinions. Lifestyle portrays the world person interacting with his or her

environment.

o Personality and self concept

Each person has a distinct personality that influences buying behavior. It is that

distinguishing psychological characteristics that lead to relatively consistent and enduring

responses to environment. Related to personality is self-concept or self image. Marketers

try to develop brand images that match target markets self image.

Psychological Factors

o Motivation

A person has many needs at a given time. A need becomes a motive when it is aroused to

a sufficient level of intensity. A motive is a need that is sufficiently pressing to drive the

person to act.

o Perception

Perception is the process by which an individual selects, organizes and interprets

information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world. How a, motivated person

actually acts is influenced by his or her perceptions of the situation.

o Learning

When people act they learn. Learning involves changes in an individuals behavior

arising from experience. Learning theory teaches marketers that they can build up

demand for a product by associating it with strong drives, using motivating cues and

positive reinforcement.

o Beliefs and attitudes

Through doing and learning, people acquire beliefs and attitudes. These in turn influence

buying behavior. A belief is a descriptive thought that a person holds about something.

The beliefs make up product and brand images and people act on these images.

An attitude is a person enduring favorable or unfavorable evaluations, emotion feelings

and action tendencies toward some object or idea. Thus a company would be well advised

to fit product into existing attitudes rather than try and change peoples attitudes.

2. RESEARCH DESIGN

2.1 Introduction

The two wheeler industry in Pakistan collectively produces 5 Lakh vehicles a year. Some

players have managed to cut through consumer resistance with innovation, pricing and

aggressive marketing. The competition level in the two wheeler industry is very high now.

Many brands are fighting in the market for maximum share. They have to bring out a lot of

differentiation among them. The major duty of the marketer is to know the reasons for

preferring particular motor bike by the consumers.

2.2 Review of Literature

The Customer Perception Report includes questions in four key areas, Expectations, Purchase

Decisions, Customer Service, and Future Purchases. So the customer should be invited to

participate in the survey. Setting realistic expectations during the sales process is a vital

component of making happy customers. How a company sets and meets product and service

expectations plays a pivotal role in fashioning customer opinions. How a company meets or

exceeds expectations is measured in three important areas: product/service, support, and

price. These three areas will be used to factor a score for the Expectations category. The

results of the three questions will be used to factor an overall expectations perception score.

The Purchase Decision category gives us a better understanding of how the customer

perceives the purchase process. Two key areas for questions include an open ended question

on why they purchased and a ratings question on their experience. The rating

Question data will be used for the analysis of Purchase Decision category. The open ended

responses from the Why questions will be used for product strengths analysis. The results

of the purchase experience question will be used for the overall Purchase perception analysis.

Customer service is one of the most important differentiations a company can have. For this

report, customers will rate a company in three key areas: customer service, timeliness for

problem resolution, and expertise. These three areas will be used to factor a score for the

Customer Service category.

2.3 Purpose of Literature Review

3. PROFILE OF INDUSTRY

3.1 ANALYSIS OF PAKISTANI INDUSTRY

Auto market is one of the largest segments in world trade. Changing models, improving fuel

efficiency, cutting costs and enhancing user comfort without compromising quality are the most

important challenges of the auto industry in a fast globalizing world.

The first phase of automotive assembling in Pakistan started in 1950 with Bed Ford truck

followed by Ford Prefect, Ford Cortina and Dodge Dart. The indigenized parts in these vehicles

did not exceed 20% with only exception of Bed Ford trucks with a deletion level of 80%. By the

end of 70s practically all automobile assembling in Pakistan ceased.

The 2nd phase of Automobile assembly started in 1983 with the introduction of FX 800 CCSuzuki Car. In 1989 Pak. Suzuki changed the Model of FX 800 CC with Mehran 800CC. Pak

Suzuki thereafter in 1992 introduced Khyber 1000 CC and 1300 CC Margalla but the

indigenization levels from 1983 to 1995 were not significant (i.e. Mehran 30%, Khyber 20%, and

Margalla, 15%).

In 1993, Indus Motors Company Ltd., Karachi introduced Toyota Corolla. Honda Atlas cars

(Pak) Ltd Lahore in 1994 introduced Honda Civic having 1300CC engine capacity. Indus

Motors, Dewan Farooq Motors and Pak Suzuki introduced smaller Cars i.e. Cuore, Cultus and

Santro of engine capacities 850 cc, 1000 cc respectively in 2000.

This was known as era of competitiveness. Up to 1995, the deletion cell of MOI&P was

formulating and monitoring the deletion programs. The industry specific deletion programs were

formulated to specify local content requirements for cars, motorcycles, Buses and Trucks

Tractors etc.

The deletion policy finalized in 1996 has the following features:

Industry Specific Deletion program.

No roll back from achieved Deletion Levels.

Even handled Tariff Protection at all levels of processing. The deletion levels were finalized by

the sub-committees for cars, LCVs, Motorcycles and tractors etc., constituted by indigenization

committee of EDB on the basis of technology levels prevalent in the engineering industry of

Pakistan. The Industry specific deletion program (ISDP) books were published and distributed

amongst the stakeholders, which resulted in a significant improvement in indigenization.

3.2 Major Policies after year 2005

1. Tariff Based Systems (TBS)

2. Auto Industry Development Program (AIDP).

FINAL REPORT

July 1st 2006, the deletion programs for the Automotive Sector have been replaced by the Tariff

Based System (TBS). The deletion programs have gradually been phased out under the WTO

regime to become TRIMs compliant. The TBS is the outcome of a long drawn consultativedialogue between all stakeholders including OEMs and Vendors, belonging to different sub-

sectors of the Automobile Industry. The TBS has been developed with the following overriding

objectives:

Preservation & promotion of technologies that have been developed in the country

Protection to the present job structure in the auto sector.

Promote job creation

Protect the existing & planned investment by the OEMs & Vendors Promote new investment

Expand the consumer base to create economies of scale

The basic framework of Tariff Based System is as under:

1. Imports in CKD condition would be allowed only to assemblers having adequate

assembly facilities and registered as such by the concerned Federal Government Agency.

2. Parts/ components indigenized by June 2004 have been placed at higher rate of Customs

Duty.

3. Parts not indigenized would be allowed at CKD rate of Custom Duty.

Introduction of Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO):

1. SRO 656 (I) / 2006 dated June 22, 2006 (For OEMs)

2. SRO 693 (I) / 2006 dated July 1, 2006 (For OEMs)

3. SRO 655(I) / 2006 dated June 22, 2006 (For Vendors)

For the purpose to handle the switching from ISDP to TBS and to ensure stable policies the

consultations on the development of AIDP kicked off from the 8 March, 2006 Workshop atIslamabad by clearly defining the objectives at a time when the industry was switching over from

the deletion programs to a competitive tariff based system. There was realization that the

transition phase may affect the rapid growth and sustainable development of auto industry. A

comprehensive development program with pre-announced tariffs to provide predictable and

stable environment was therefore much needed and the finalization and approval of AIDP by the

government was held on 13th November, 2007.

Policy Wise Growth of Auto Sector (PC + LCV):
