AbstractThe main objective of the project is to study the satisfaction levels of customers, Product awareness and Consumer Behavior with reference to NOKIA mobile handset user‘s.

Nokia has played a pioneering role in the growth of cellular technology in India, starting with the first-ever cellular call a decade ago, made on a Nokia mobile phone over a Nokia- deployed network.

Nokia started its India operations in 1995, and presently operates out of offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Jaipur ,Lucknow ,Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad. The Indian operations comprise of the handsets business; R&D facilities in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai; a manufacturing plant in Chennai and a Design Studio in Bangalore.

Over the years, the company has grown manifold with its manpower strength increasing from 450 people in the year 2004 to over 15000 employees in March 2008 (including Nokia Siemens Networks). Today, India holds the distinction of being the second largest market for the company globally.

Background

Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola, made the first US analogue mobile phone call on a larger prototype model in 1973.

On April 3, 1973, Motorola employee Dr. Martin Cooper placed a call to Dr. Joel S. Engel, head of research at AT&T's Bell Labs, while walking the streets of New York City talking on the first Motorola DynaTAC prototype in front of reporters. Motorola has a long history of making automotive radios, especially two-way radios for taxicabs and police cruisers.

Nokia has played a pioneering role in the growth of cellular technology in India, starting with the first-ever cellular call a decade ago, made on a Nokia mobile phone over a Nokia deployed network.Nokia started its India operations in 1995, and presently operates out of offices in New Delhi,Mumbai, Kolkata,Jaipur,Lucknow,Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad. The Indian operations comprise of the handsets business; R&D facilities in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai; a manufacturing plant in Chennai and a Design Studio in Bangalore.Over the years, the company has grown manifold with its manpower strength increasing from 450 people in the year 2004 to over 15000 employees in March 2008 (including Nokia Siemens Networks). Today, India holds the distinction of being the second largest market for the company globally.

Devices business: Nokia has established itself as the market and brand leader in the mobile devices market in India. The company has built a diverse product portfolio to meet the needs of different consumer segments and therefore offers devices across five categories ie. Entry, Live, Connect, Explore and Achieve. These include products that cater to first time subscribers to advanced business devices and high performance multimedia devices for imaging, music and gaming.

Nokia has been working closely with operators in India to increase the geographical coverage and lower the total cost of ownership for consumers. Today, Nokia has one of the largest distribution network with presence across 1,30,000 outlets. In addition, the company also has Nokia Priority Dealers across the country and Nokia ‗Concept stores‘ in Bangalore, Delhi, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Chennai, Indore and Mumbai to provide customers a complete mobile experience.

Services business

With the global launch of Ovi, the company's Internet services brand name, Nokia is renewing itself to be at the forefront of the convergence of internet and mobility. From being a product centric company, Nokia is now focusing to become solutions centric. The strategicshift is built on Nokia‘s bid to retain consumers and empower Nokia device owners to realisethe full potential of the Internet. Nokia will build a suite of Internet based services like NokiaMaps, the Nokia Music Store and Nokia N-Gage around its Ovi brand.

Infrastructure business

Nokia Siemens Networks is a leading global enabler of communications services. The company provides a complete, well-balanced product portfolio of mobile and fixed network infrastructure solutions and addresses the growing demand for services with 20,000 service professionals worldwide. Its operations in India include Sales & Marketing, Research & Development, Manufacturing and Global Networks Solutions Centre. Headquartered in Gurgaon, Nokia Siemens Networks has 47 offices and presence in over 170 locations across the country.

R & D centers

Nokia has three Research & Development centers in India, based in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai. These R&D hubs are staffed by engineers who are working on next-generation packet-switched mobile technologies and communications solutions to enhance corporate productivity.

The Center in Bangalore, the biggest R&D site in the country comprises S60 Software Organization, Common Technologies, Next Generation now called Maemo Software, Productization and Software & Services.

Design Studio

Nokia has set up its first Design Studio in Bangalore in partnership with Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.

Customers satisfaction

When we talk about customer satisfaction, we talk about creativity. Creativity allows us to handle or diffuse problems at hand or later on in the process of conducting the everyday business. We talk about how, or rather what, does the organization have to do to gain not only the sale but also the loyalty of the customer. We want to know the payoff of the trans- action both in the short and long term. We want to know what our customers want.

We want to know if our customers are satisfied. Satisfaction, of course, means that what we delivered to a customer met the customer‘s approval. We want to know if customers are delighted and willing to comeback, and so on.

Fleiss and Feldman present examples of that delightful-ness in their writings. Fleiss has written about Ben and Jerry‘s ice cream and Feldman has discussed excellence in a cab ride. As important as delightfulness is, some of us minimize it, or even totally disregard it. At thispoint, we fail. Some of the issues that will guarantee failure in sales, satisfaction, and loyalty are: •Employees must adhere to a rigid chain of command• Employees are closely supervised• Conflict—in whatever form—is not allowed• Rewards are based on carrot-and- stick

Level 1.

Expectations are very simple and take the form of assumptions, must have, or take it for granted

For example, I expect the airline to be able to take off, fly to my destination, and land safely. I expect to get the correct blood for my blood transfusion. And I expect the bank to deposit my money to my account and to keep a correct tally for me.

Level2.

Expectations are a step higher than that of level 1 and they require some form of satisfaction through meeting the requirements and/or specifications

.F or example, I expect to be treated courteously by all airline personnel. I went to the hospital expecting to have my hernia repaired, to be in some pain after it was done, to be out on the same day, and to receive a correct bill. And I went to the bank expecting the bank teller to be friendly, informative, and helpful with my transactions

Level 3.

Expectations are much higher than for levels 1 and 2.Level 3 requires some kind of delightfulness or a service that is so good that it attracts me to it

For example, an airline gives passengers traveling coach class the same superior food service that other airlines provide only for first-class passengers. In fact, I once took a flight where the flight attendants actually baked cookies for us right there on the plane. When I

14

went to the hospital, I expected staff to treat me with respect and they careful-ly explained things to me. But I was surprised when they called me at home the next day to find out how I was doing. And at my house closing, the bank officer, representing the bank holding my mortgage, not only treated me with respect and answered all my questions about my new mortgage, but just before we shook hands to close the deal, he gave me a housewarming gift.

Brand image

Hide links within definitions Show links within definitions.

Impression in the consumers' mind of a brand's total personality (real and imaginary qualities and shortcomings). Brand image is developed over time through advertising campaigns with a consistent theme, and is authenticated through the consumers' direct experience. See also corporate image

Brand Value Model

Buyers who are considering a purchase scan their service options and develop a consideration set. Within the consideration set, they develop a hierarchy of brands based on their assessment of Price, Product or Service Features, and Brand Name. Typically, they choose the brand at the top of their hierarchy, if available. If a brand is consistently at the top of their hierarchy, the buyer will be loyal to that brand.

We believe consumers try to optimize value within a product or service category. Consumers therefore assign utilities (worth) to price, each relevant performance attribute, and brand equity. Consumers then trade off performance attributes and brand equity against price in order to optimize value. The relationships between the individual values of price, performance attributes and brand equity is summative and equal to total brand value.

The values each respondent places on price, performance attributes, and brand equity define their value equation for a product or service category. We can derive these values at the respondent level using modified trade-off exercises.

A key advantage of the Brand Value Model is that it allows the calculation of utilities and importance‘s at the individual consumer level. This acknowledges the highly individual nature of the evaluation of products andservices in many categories. Furthermore, it permits an exploration of value structures across existing consumer segments or the development of new segments based on the components of the value equation.

We believe the total value of a brand in a particular product/service category is composed of three parts. One part is due to the physical and readily identifiable (and replicable) features of the brand that delivers specific, tangible benefits to the purchaser, thus impacting purchase choice. We call these the tangible product features. The second part is due to some perceived intrinsic value associated with the brand name due to such things as the image transferred to the purchaser, trust, longevity in the marketplace, social

15

responsibility, consistent performance, and so forth (i.e. the intangibles), and impacting purchase choice. We refer to this as the brand's equity. The third component is the price/cost of the product. Thus, the total value (or utility) of a product or service is a function of 1.) its physical, tangible, deliverable features, 2.) its brand equity, and 3.) its price.

In addition, we believe that a brand's value is directly related to customer loyalty. That is, if a particular brand maintains a significantly higher perception of value to a consumer than any other brand in the category, that consumer will consistently purchase that brand and consistently recommend that brand to others. Conversely, as brands in a category become less differentiated in terms of both tangible and intrinsic features, price becomes the major differentiator of value, and thus, there is little loyalty.

We observe that people tend to trade off price against the combined bundle of tangible product features and brand equity in order to optimize total utility or total value.

We also note that the intrinsic part of a brand's value, brand equity, may be positive or negative, meaning that a brand name can be used to increase overall utility of a choice, or may detract from the overall utility of a choice. Said differently, a positive brand equity allows a marketer to charge a premium in the market place over the value of the bundle of tangible features alone, or over the value of an unbranded product/service. And, some branded names in a particular category could have such a negative value among some purchasers such that the brand's equity could be below that of an unbranded, or base line, product/service.

The estimate of brand equity is relative to the other brands in the measured competitive set. Therefore, to obtain an estimate of absolute brand equity we often recommend that the study include either an unbranded product, a store brand, or a dummy brand name, whichever is most appropriate for the category. This provides the base price point for estimating brand equity in terms of its absolute dollar value.

16

The advantages of this modeling approach are:

1. The model is not dependent on internal financial data.2. It is relatively fast and easy to execute using proven

research methods.3. It can be executed at any time in the business cycle. That is, it is not

dependent on internal cyclical accounting changes.4. It takes into account all major relevant brands in a defined

product/service category.5. It measures brand equity relative to other current and potential brands

in the category, including unbranded items when they exist in the category.

6. It recognizes that value of any one brand's equity can be defeated in the marketplace by competitor pricing strategies, at least in the shortrun.

7. It allows the firm to assess price elasticity and cross elasticities oftheir own brands and competitor brands in a category.

8. Results can be projected to estimate the total value of a brand nameunder alternative sales projections. Thus, this modeling approach can be used to evaluate the total dollar value of a brand name for purposes of evaluation and acquisition.

PRIMARY DATA ANALYSIS

Primary data is the data which the researcher collects through various methods like interviews, surveys, questionnaires etc. Some advantages and disadvantages of primary data are as follows:

The first advantage of primary data is that it can be collected from a number of ways like interviews, telephone surveys, focus groups etc. Secondly, it can be also collected across the national borders through emails and posts. Thirdly, it can include a large population and wide geographical coverage. Fourthly, it is relatively cheap and no prior arrangements are required. Moreover, primary data is current and it can better give a realistic view to the researcher about the topic under consideration.On the other hand, the major disadvantage of primary data is that it has design problems likehow to design the surveys. The questions must be simple to design a general lingo (understandable). Some respondents do not give timely responses. Sometimes, the respondents may give fake, socially acceptable and sweet answers and try to cover up the realities. In some primary data collection methods there is no control over the data collection. Incomplete questionnaire always give a negative impact on research

Percent: A percent is a ratio whose second term is 100. Percent means parts per hundred.The word comes from the Latin phrase per centum, which means per hundred. Inmathematics, we use the symbol % for percent.

Let's look at our comparison table again. This time the table includes percents.

Chi-Square Test?- Chi-square Test for Association is a (non-parametric, therefore can be used for nominal data) test of statistical significance widely used bivariate tabular association analysis.- Typically, the hypothesis is whether or not two different populations are different enough in some characteristic or aspect of their behavior based on two random samples.- Chi-square Goodness-of-fit Test is used to test if an observed distribution conforms to any particular distribution. Calculation of this goodness of fit test is by comparison of observeddata with data expected based on the particular distribution. When to apply a Chi-Squared Test:- Chi-Squared test is used to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the proportions for different groups. To accomplish this, it breaks all outcomes into groups.

19

What the Chi-Squared Test does:- It starts by determining how many defects, for example, would be ―expected‖ in each groupinvolved.- It does this by assuming that all groups have the same defect rate (which Minitabapproximates from the data provided).- If the numbers are different by a large enough amount, Chi-Square determines that thegroups do not have the same proportion. Chi-Square Requirements:- Data is typically attribute (discrete). At the very least, all data must be able to be categorized as being in some category or another).- Expected cell counts should not be low (definitely not less than 1 and preferable not less than 5) as this could lead to a false positive indication that there is a difference when, in fact,none exists.Chi-Square Hypotheses:- Ho: The null hypotheses (P-Value > 0.05) means the populations have the same proportions.

- Ha: The alternate hypotheses (P-Value <= 0.05) means the populations do NOT have the same proportions.

C hi - S q u a re T e st o f I nd e p e n d e n c e The Chi-Square test is known as the test of goodness of fit and Chi-Square test of Independence. In the Chi-Square test of Independence, goodness of fit frequency of one nominal variable is compared with the theoretical expected frequency.In the Chi-Square test of Independence, the frequency of one nominal variable is compared

with different values of the second nominal variable.The Chi-square test of Independence is used when we have two nominal variables. The Chi-square test of Independence data may be in the R*C form. In the Chi-Square test of Independence, R is the row and C is the column. In the Chi-Square test of Independence, the test variable may be more than two.

Pr o c e d u re i n C h i - S qua r e t e s t o f I n d ep e nde n c e : To perform the Chi-Square test of Independence, first we have to calculate the expected value of the two nominal variables. We can calculate the expected value of the two nominal variables by using this formula:

Where

= expected value for Chi-Square test of Independence

= Sum of the ith column in the Chi-Square test of Independence

= Sum of the kth column in the Chi-Square test of Independence N = total number in the Chi-Square test of Independence

20

After calculating the expected value, we will apply the following formula to calculate the value of the Chi-Square test of Independence:

= Chi-Square test of Independence

= Observed value of two nominal variables for the Chi-Square test of Independence

= Expected value of two nominal variables for the Chi-Square test of Independence Degree of freedom in Chi-Square test of Independence: In the Chi-Square test of Independence, the degree of freedom is calculated by using the following formula:

DF=(r-1) (c-1)WhereDF = Degree of freedom for the Chi-Square test of Independence r = number of rows in the Chi-Square test of Independencec = number of columns in the Chi-Square test of Independence

or degree of freedom can be calculated as:

DF= N-1 ,Where, N is the number of cells in the table.

H y po t h e sis: N u l l h y p o t h e s i s , H o : In Chi-Square test of Independence, null hypothesis assumes that there is no association between the two variables.

Alte r n a t i v e h y p o t h e s i s , H a : In Chi-Square test of Independence, alternative hypothesis assumes that there is an association between the two variables

Research Designs

Research is the systematic application of investigative tools to an issue, problem, or phenomenon the purpose of which is to develop valid and reliable information that will lead toot a better understanding of the research target. Questions concerning the definition of research persist because interactions among the varied objectives of research studies, on the one hand, and on the other hand, bias, ignorance, or both on the part of the users of research findings as to what constitutes ôreal researchö. Some users of the findings of experimental research (as well as some experimental researchers, as an example) denigrate the value of descriptive research. Descriptive research, however, can be of great value to political campaigns and marketers even though its value may be low in relation to medical trial studies. Conversely, double-blind experimental research that is essential in most medical trial studies (a) are not feasible for many political and marketing purposes and (b) would be of limited value in such cases even if they were feasible.

21

Research Design

Descriptive research design

Descriptive research is used to obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomena to describe "what exists" with respect to variables or conditions in a situation. The methods involved range from the survey which describes the status quo, the correlation study which investigates the relationship between variables, to developmental studies which seek to determine changes over time.

Statement of the problem

Identification of information needed to solve the problem Selection or development of instruments for gathering the information

Identification of target population and determination of sampling

procedure Design of procedure for information collection

Collection of information

Analysis of information

Generalizations and/or predictions

ADVANTAGES

The subject is being observed in a completely natural and unchanged natural environment. A good example of this would be an anthropologist who wanted to study a tribe without affecting their normal behavior in any way. True experiments, whilst giving analyzable data, often adversely influence the normal behavior of the subject.

Descriptive research is often used as a pre-cursor to more quantitatively research designs, the general overview giving some valuable pointers as to what variables are worth testing quantitatively. Quantitative experiments are often expensive and time- consuming so it is often good sense to get an idea of what hypotheses are worth testing.

Limitations

The profile has been limited by demographic and socio-economic characteristics. A psychographics analysis of respondents, attention, interests and opinion was not attempted, as it did not figure in the various brand needs
