LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study has been taken from TVS motors of Chennai city and fails to cover rest of the districts in the country.
The number respondents are limited to 120 numbers.
The time period of the study is also a major factor.
Personal bias of the respondents may also act as a limitation in the study.
However, there are many TVS showrooms in many cities other than Chennai city, the respondents of Chennai city was only considered for further research findings.

CONSUMER SATISFACTION Consumer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how products
and services supplied by a company meet or surpass Consumer expectation. Consumer satisfaction is defined as "the number of Consumers, or percentage of total Consumers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals." In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent responded that they found a Consumer satisfaction metric very useful in managing and monitoring their businesses. It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for Consumers, Consumer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of business strategy. "Within organizations, Consumer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus employees on the importance of fulfilling Consumers’ expectations. Furthermore, when these
ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. . . . These metrics quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal Consumers, it gains positive wordof-mouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective." Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage Consumer satisfaction. To be able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction. "In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask Consumers whether their product or service has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. When Consumers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort, for — even example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel — even though its
facilities and service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."
The importance of Consumer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased bargaining power. For example, cell phone plan providers, such as AT&T and Verizon, participate in an industry that is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain product or service exist. As such, many cell phone plan contracts have a lot of fine print with provisions that they would never get away if there were, say, a hundred cell phone plan providers, because Consumer satisfaction would be way too low, and Consumers would easily have the option of leaving for a better contract offer. There is a substantial body of empirical literature that establishes the benefits of Consumer satisfaction for firms.
Purpose:-
A business ideally is continually seeking feedback to improve Consumer satisfaction. "Consumer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase intentions and loyalty." "Consumer satisfaction data are among the most frequently collected indicators of market perceptions. Their principal use is twofold:" 1. "Within organizations, the collection, analysis and dissemination of these data send a message about the importance of tending to Consumers and ensuring that they have a positive experience with the compan y’s goods and services."
2. "Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently, satisfaction is perhaps the best indicator of how likely it is that the firm’s Consumers
will make further purchases in the future . Much research has focused on the relationship between Consumer satisfaction and retention. Studies indicate that the ramifications of satisfaction are most strongly realized at the extremes." On a fivepoint scale, "individuals who rate their satisfaction level as '5' are likely to become return Consumers and might even evangelize for the firm. (A second important metric related to satisfaction is willingness to recommend. This metric is defined as "The percentage of surveyed Consumers who indicate that they would recommend a brand to friends." When a Consumer is satisfied with a product, he or she might recommend it to friends, relatives and colleagues. This can be a powerful marketing advantage.) "Individuals who rate their satisfaction level as '1,' by contrast, are unlikely to return. Further, they can hurt the firm by making negative comments about it to prospective Consumers. Willingness to recommend is a key metric relating to Consumer satisfaction."
Construction Organizations need to retain existing Consumers while targeting non-Consumers non-Consumers..[3] Measuring Consumer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace. "Consumer satisfaction is measured at the individual level, but it is almost always reported at an aggregate level. It can be, and often is, measured along various dimensions. A hotel, for example, might ask Consumers to rate their experience with its front desk and check-in service, with the room, with the amenities in the room, with the restaurants, and so on. Additionally, in a holistic sense, the hotel might ask about overall satisfaction 'with your stay.' As research on consumption experiences grows, evidence suggests that consumers purchase goods and services for a combination of two types of benefits: hedonic and utilitarian. Hedonic benefits are associated with the sensory and experiential attributes of the product. Utilitarian benefits of a product are associated with the more instrumental and functional attributes of the product (Batra and Athola 1990).
Consumer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the Consumer may have and other products against which the Consumer can compare the organization's products. Work done by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (Leonard L) [ between 1985 and 1988 provides the basis for the measurement of Consumer satisfaction with a service by using the gap between the Consumer's expectation of performance and their perceived experience of performance. This provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative
in
nature.
Work
done
by
Cronin
and
Taylor
propose
the
"confirmation/disconfirmation" theory of combining the "gap" described by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry as two different measures (perception and expectation of performance) into a single measurement of performance according to expectation. The usual measures of Consumer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements using a Likert Technique or scale. The Consumer is asked to evaluate each statement and in term of their perception and expectation of performance of the organization being measured. Their satisfaction is generally measured on a five-point scale.
"Consumer satisfaction data can also be collected on a 10-point scale." "Regardless of the scale used, the objective is to measure Consumers’ perceived satisfaction with their experience of a firm’s offerings." It is essential for firms to effectively manage
Consumer satisfaction. To be able do this, we need accurate measurement of satisfaction. Good quality measures need to have high satisfaction loadings, good reliability, and low error variances. In an empirical study comparing commonly used satisfaction measures it was found that two multi-item semantic differential scales performed best across both hedonic and
utilitarian service consumption contexts. According to studies by Wirtz& Lee (2003), they identified a six-item 7-point semantic differential scale (e.g., Oliver and Swan 1983), which is a six-item 7-point bipolar scale, that consistently performed best across both hedonic and utilitarian services. It loaded most highly on satisfaction, had the highest item reliability, and had by far the lowest error variance across both studies. In the study, the six items asked respondents’ evaluation of their most recent experience with ATM services and ice cream restaurant, along seven points within these six items: ― please me to displeased me‖, ―contented with to disgusted with ‖, ―very satisfied with to very dissatisfied with ‖, ―did a good job for me to did a poor job for me‖, ―wise choice to poor choice‖ and ―happy with to unhappy with‖.
A semantic differential (4 items) scale (e.g., Eroglu and Machleit 1990), which is a four-item 7-point bipolar scale, was the second best performing measure, which was again consistent across both contexts. In the study, respondents were asked to evaluate their experience with both products, along seven points within these four items: ―satisfied to dissatisfied ‖, ― favorable to unfavorable‖, ― pleasant to unpleasant ‖ and ― I like it very much to I didn’t like it at all ‖.
The third best scale was single-item percentage measure, a one-item 7-point bipolar scale (e.g., Westbrook 1980). Again, the respondents were asked to evaluate their experience on both ATM services and ice cream restaurants, along seven points within ―delighted to terrible ‖.
It seems that dependent on a trade-off between length of the questionnaire and quality of satisfaction measure, these scales seem to be good options for measuring Consumer satisfaction in academic and applied studies research alike. All other measures tested consistently performed worse than the top three measures, and/or their performance varied significantly across the two service contexts in their study. These results suggest that more careful pretesting would be prudent should these measures be used. Finally, all measures captured both affective and cognitive aspects of satisfaction, independent of their scale anchors. Affective measures capture a consumer’s attitude
(liking/disliking) towards a product, which can result from any product information or experience. On the other hand, cognitive element is defined as an appraisal or conclusion on how the product’s performance compared against expectations (or exceeded or fell short of
expectations), was useful (or not useful), fit the situation (or did not fit), exceeded the requirements of the situation (or did not exceed).
Methodologies American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is a scientific standard of Consumer satisfaction. Academic research has shown that the national ACSI score is a strong predictor of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and an even stronger predictor of Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) growth. On the microeconomic level, academic studies have shown that ACSI data is related to a firm's financial performance in terms of return of return on investment (ROI), sales, long-term firm value (Tobin's q), cash flow, cash flow volatility, human capital performance, portfolio returns, debt financing, risk, and consumer spending. spending.[12] Increasing ACSI scores has been shown to predict loyalty, word-of-mouth recommendations, and purchase behavior. The ACSI measures Consumer satisfaction annually for more than 200 companies in 43 industries and 10 economic sectors. In addition to quarterly reports, the ACSI methodology can be applied to private sector companies and government agencies in order to improve loyalty and purchase intent. Two companies have been licensed to apply the methodology of the ACSI for both the private and public sector: CFI Group, Inc. and Foresee Results apply the ACSI to websites and other online initiatives. ASCI scores have also been calculated by independent researchers, for example, for the mobile phones sector sector,,[13] higher education, education,[14] and electronic mail. mail.[15] The Kano model is a theory of product development and Consumer satisfaction developed in the 1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano that classifies Consumer preferences into five categories: Attractive, One-Dimensional, Must-Be, Indifferent, Reverse. The Kano model offers some insight into the product attributes which are perceived to be important to Consumers. SERVQUAL or RATER is a service-quality framework that has been incorporated into Consumer-satisfaction surveys (e.g., the revised Norwegian Consumer Satisfaction Barometer) to indicate the gap between Consumer expectations and experience. J.D. Power and Associates provides another measure of Consumer satisfaction, known for its top-box approach and automotive industry rankings. J.D. Power and Associates' marketing
research consists primarily of consumer surveys and is publicly known for the value of its product awards. Other research and consulting firms have Consumer satisfaction solutions as well. These include A.T. Kearney's Kearney's Consumer Satisfaction Audit process, which incorporates the Stages of Excellence framework and which helps define a company’s status against eight critically identified dimensions. For Business to Business (B2B) surveys there is the Info Quest box. This has been used internationally since 1989 on more than 110,000 surveys (Nov '09) with an average response rate of 72.74%. The box is targeted at "the most important" Consumers and avoids the need for a blanket survey. In the European Union member states, many methods for measuring impact and satisfaction of e-government services are in use, which the eGovMoNet project sought to compare and harmonize. These Consumer satisfaction methodologies have not been independently audited by the Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB) according to MMAP (Marketing Metric Audit Protocol).
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY MEANING OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. A researcher has to study the research problem along with the logic in it for that the researcher should not only known the research methods and techniques but also the methodology.
The researcher has to apply particular research
techniques in the problems problems and he
should also known which which method or
techniques is relevant or not so that, means, it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problems as the so may differ from problem to problem.
RESEARCH DESIGN A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample, s ample, sample design may as well lay down the number of items to be included in the sample i.e., the size of the sample. Sample design is determined before data are collected. collected. There are many many sample designs from which which a researcher can choose. Some design are relatively relatively more more precise and easier to to apply than others. others. Researcher must select prepare sample design which should be reliable and appropriate for his research study.
QUESTIONNAIRE The term questionnaire refers to a self-administered process whereby the respondent himself/herself reads the question and records his/her answers
without assistance of an interviewers. interviewers.
It is more more highly structured and and
standardized.
TYPES OF DATA USED The data collection process begins after a research problem has been defined and research design plan had been chalked out. The data collection is mainly of two types.
Primary data
Secondary data
PRIMARY DATA The primary data are those which are collection a fresh and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character. character. The collection of primary data is done through indirect communication with the employees.
SECONDARY DATA The secondary data, on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by someone else and which have already been passed through the statistical process. Secondary data collection collection from the information information maintained by the human resource department, websites and other records.

CONCLUSION
Consumer satisfaction is an important aspect for determining the success of the products. Satisfaction is a kind of stepping away from an experience and evaluating it. One could have a pleasurable experience that caused dissatisfaction even though pleasurable, it was not as pleasurable as it was supposed or expected to be. So satisfaction or dissatisfaction is not an emotion it is the evaluation of the emotion. Thus, through consumer satisfaction the Company or a manufacturer can capture the potential market leading to the pinnacle.
