and where Supreme Pipe customers goods stand in Jalgaon city with regards to products
awareness and customer satisfaction. In this context, the product awareness and customer
satisfaction study does well to facilitate an understanding of the extent of acceptance or
non acceptance of Supreme Pipe customers goods in Jalgaon city.

customer products. Here an attempt is made to find out the extent of customers awareness
towards Supreme Pipe customer good, their sources of knowledge, frequency of
purchasing and reasons for preferring Supreme Pipe rating in comparison to the other
companys products available in the Jalgaon city.

ABOUT CUSTOMERS BEHAVIOUR
The study of customer behavior is the study of how individual makes decision to
spend their available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. It
includes the study of what people buy, why they buy, when they buy, where they buy, how
often they buy and how often they use it.
Understanding customerbehavior and knowing customer is never simple.
Customer may say one thing but do another. They may not be in touch with their deeper
motivation. Small companies, such as concern grocery store and huge corporations such as
Jain stand to profit from undertaking how and why customer buys.

LIMITATION
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
There are bound to be certain limitations in carrying out this research work due to
sampling error, statistical error, personal error, etc. but an effort is made to obtain authentic
results.
Limitations were as follows-
Assuming customers population to be infinite and a sample of 100 customers is taken
which is not sufficient. But it was very difficult to follow the rules of sampling and
resources constraints. Therefore it has been tried to understand the behavior of the masses
so as to get the proper direction for the project with the optimum sample size of 100. The
study was largely dependent upon the interviews (questionnaires) with the customer s so it
might have decreased the efficiency of the project.
The study was focused on Jalgaon city only and situation might be different in other areas
of the country.
1.The survey is subjected to statistical error.
2.Data collected through questionnaire was a qualitative data, which may differ from
person to person.
3. Above all human error may also present, as it is the biggest limitation of any study.

ABOUT CUSTOMERS BEHAVIOUR
The study of customer behavior is the study of how individual makes decision to
spend their available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. It
includes the study of what people buy, why they buy, when they buy, where they buy, how
often they buy and how often they use it.
Understanding customerbehavior and knowing customer is never simple.
Customer may say one thing but do another. They may not be in touch with their deeper
motivation. Small companies, such as concern grocery store and huge corporations such as
Jain stand to profit from undertaking how and why customer buys.
FACTORS INFLUENCING CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR
Cultural, social, personal and psychological factors influence a customers buying
behavior. Cultural factor exert the broadest and deepest influence. Most of these are
beyond the hands of the marketer. However they have to be considered while trying to
understand the complex buyer behavior.
Cultural Factors
1. Cultural,2. Social,3. Sub cultural.
Social factors
1. Reference group2. Family3. Role and status
Personal factor

1. Age and stage in life cycle,2. Occupation and economic circumstances,3. Lifestyle,4. Personality and self concept.
Psychological factors
1. Motivation,2. Perception learning,3. Beliefs and attitudes.
CULTURAL FACTORS
Cultural, sub cultural and social classes are particularly important in buying behavior.
1. CultureCulture is the fundamental determinant of wants and behavior of a person. The
growing child acquires a set of values, perception,
Preferences and behaviors through his or her family or other key institutions.
2. Sub cultureEach culture consists of smaller sub culture that provides more specific
identification and socialization for the members. Sub culture, nationalities, religious, racial
group and geographic regions.
3. Social classesVirtually all human societies exhibit social stratification. It takes and the form of
social classes, relatively homogenous and enduring division in a society, which are
8/13/2019 annuall report format

hierarchal, ordered and whose members share similar values, interests and behavior. Social
classes reflect not only income, but also other indicates such as occupation, education and
area of reference.
SOCIAL FACTORS
1. Reference groupA person reference group consists of all groups that have a direct or indirect
influence on the person attitude or behavior. A group having influence on a person are
celled membership groups. Some membership groups are primary groups such as
family, friends neighbor and co-worker. People also belong to secondary group such as
religious, professional, and trade union group, which tend to be more formal and require
less continuous interaction.
(a) Family
Family is most important customer buying organization in society, and family
member constitute the most influential primary reference groups. We can distinguish
between two families in thebuyerslife. The family of orientation consists of parents
and siblings. A more direct influence on every day buying behavior is the family ofprocreation namely one spouse and children.
2. Roles and statusA person participates in many groups, family, club and organization. The person
position in each group can be defined in terms of role and status. A Role consists of the
activities a person is expected to perform. Each role carries a status. A Supreme Court
justice has more than a sales manager has a more status than an office work.

PERSONAL FACTOR
A buyer decision is also influenced by personal characteristics. These include the
buyer age and stage in life cycle, occupation, economic circumstances, lifestyle and
personality and self-concept.
1. Age and stage of life cycle
People buy different goods and service over a lifetime. They eat baby food in early years,
most foods in growing years and special diets in the later years. Taste in clothes, furniture,
and recreation is also age related.
2. Occupation and economic circumstances
Occupation also influences consumption patterns. A blue-collar worker will buy works
clothes, works shoes and lunch boxes. A company can ever tailor its products for certain
occupational group. Computer software companies for example design different product
for brand managers, engineers, lawyer and physician.
3. Lifestyle
People from the same sub-culture, social class and occupation may lead quite different
lifestyle. A Lifestyle is a persons pattern of livingin the world as expressed in activities,
interests and opinion. Lifestyle portrays the whole person interacting with his or her
environment.
4. Personality and self concept
Each person has personality characteristics that influence his or her buying behavior.
Personality is often defined in terms of such traits as self confidence, dominance,
autonomy, defense, sociability, defensiveness and adaptability. A persons actual self
concept may different from his or her ideal self concept. Which self will he or she try to

satisfy in choosing a brand? Self concept theory has a mixed record of success in
predicting customer response to brand images.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
Persons buying choices are influenced by four major psychological factor motivation,
perception, learning, beliefs and attitude.
1. MotivationA person has many needs at any given time. A need becomes a motive when it rises
to a sufficient level of intensity. A motive is a need that is sufficiently pressing to drive
the person to act.
2. PerceptionHow the motivated person actually acts is influenced by his or her perception of the
situation. Perception is the process by which an individual selects organization and
interprets information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world.
3. LearningWhen people act, they learn. Learning involves changes in an individual behavior
arising from experience. Most human behavior is learned. Learning theorists believe that
learning is produced through the interplay of drives, stimuli, cues and response and
reinforces.
4. Beliefs and attitudesThrough doing the learning, people acquire beliefs and attitudes. These in turn
influence buying behavior. A Belief is a descriptive thought that a person holds about
something. Peoples beliefs about a products or brand influence their buying decisions.
Just as important as beliefs are attitudes. An Attitude is a person enduring favorable or
unfavorable emotional feelings and action tendencies towards some objects or ideas.
People have attitudes towards almost everything like religion, politics, clothes, music,
food, etc.

The Supreme Group-

portfolio today, the Supreme Group has certainly come a long way.

This unrelenting growth has come through diverse efforts: consolidation and expansion,
enhancement of capacities, addition of fresh products and variants, establishment of newer
plants, and occasionally, even acquisition of under-performing but high potential units and
brands.
Understandably, the integration route has been successfully explored by the Group. For
instance, in a major backward integration move, Supreme Petrochem Ltd. -- and with it,
one of India's largest world class styrenes complexes-- came into being.
Similarly, diversification and horizontal integration have been fuelled by strategic
collaborations with technology leaders. Two prime examples of this are introduction of
multi-layer films and calendared film products in the country.
The Group has made substantial complementary investments in R & D. This has not only
helped in a thorough and superior assimilation of cutting edge technologies, but also
contributed to a collateral development of newer and improved products on a continuing
basis. So, while Supreme SWR systems were India's first viable alternative to conventional
GI pipes and fittings, the unflagging creation of newer fittings keeps an unmatched range
growing ever further.
A client-friendly approach, a readiness to customize and an eagerness to provide all
technical support have played no mean role in propelling Supreme to leader.
An open mind and receptivity to new ideas and needs remain hallmarks of the Group's
interface with all customers-- in India and across the globe.
