Project Description
Consumer Decision Making Processes
By Ken Matsuno
Traditionally, consumer researchers have approached decision
making process from a rational perspective. This dominantschool of thought views customers as being cognitive (i.e.,
problem-solving) and, to some but a lesser degree, emotional. i
Such a view is reflected in the stage model of a typical buying
process (often called the consumer information processing
model) depicted in Figure.
Problem Recognition
Information Search
Evaluation and Selection of Alternatives
Decision Implementation
Post-purchase Evaluation

Figure 1 the Consumer Information Processing Model
Source: Adopted from Kotler (1997), Schiffman and Kanuk
(1997), and Solomon (1996)
In this model, the consumer passes through five stages:problem recognition, information search, evaluation and
selection of alternatives, decision implementation, and post-
purchase evaluation.

Research Methodology
Meaning
Research is an intensive and purposeful search for knowledge
and understanding of social and physical phenomenon.
Research is scientific activity undertaken to establish
something, a fact, a theory a principle or an application. One
can also define research as a scientific and systematic search
for pertinent information on a specific topic. Infect research is
art of scientific investigation. According to John W.Best
Research is the systematic and objective analysis and
recording of controlled observation that may lead to
development of generalization, principles or theories resulting
prediction and possibly ultimate control of events
Source of Data Collection
1. Primary Data
In primary data collection, you collect the data yourself usingmethods such as interviews and questionnaires. The key point
here is that the data you collect is unique to you and yourresearch and, until you publish, no one else has access to it.
There are many methods of collecting primary data and themain methods include:
questionnaires
interviews
focus group interviews

[14]
observation
case-studies
diaries
critical incidents
Portfolios
2. Secondary Data
In secondary data collection, the company uses informationfrom other sources that has already been researched bysomebody else. Instead of carrying out research yourself like inprimary research, you simply use somebody else's results thathave already been collected which have been carried out insimilar ways to how you would have carried it out.
There are many methods of collecting secondary data and themain methods include:
Websites Other companies reports Websites etc.
I have collected both type of data, primary data andsecondary data (provided by company). I relied on the datagiven by respondents through questionnaire designed by me.

Weakness
Less brand awareness
Less number of dealers so eventually less availability ofIFBs products.
Less range of products in consumer durablesIt has less range of products which is not sufficient tocapture the whole market. Through some new productsare ready to be launch in coming year but also somesmall consumer durables like iron, water heater, cameraetc, Can be added.
Products are for winter season but no product is speciallyfor summer seasonThe product like cloth dryer can be used in winter seasonmainly which comes just for 2 months in entire year. Suchproducts can only be purchased by north people due tohaving very less temperature in winter season. Thereshould be some summer products like refrigerator, AC,cooler, water cooler etc. So that it can be purchased inentire year and can capture the whole Indian market.
Less promotional activitiesThere are no promotional activities for the promotion ofthe products. Even there is not any advertisement whichcan show the features and variety of products. This is thereason that there are very less sales of hobs andchimneys because people are not aware of its newproducts.
