A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In the Philippines, when you look at the street or ask
anyone about cars, the brand Toyota will never be forgotten. It comes
top of mind or among the top 3 famous brands. Like anywhere in the
world, the popularity of this brand has translated into a bigger market
share surpassing the sales of the Detroit’s Big Three. But this was never
the case when the Filipino car buyers have a tremendous likeness and
had only the brands from General Motors, Ford and Chevrolet to choose
from. The car companies from Japan had seriously created ways to learn
their market. They were able to established a product development
system that was the extreme opposite of what used by the former car
manufacturers. They listen to the consumers’ needs and insights. They
don’t just produce and sell these cars to their buyers, but they tried to
cater to what their customers want. Here, marketing a product or brand
now is more consumers oriented.
It is of the same analogy that this research is to be
conducted. The importance of determining and measuring the
customers perception towards a brand is as synonymous as creating a
quality brand, at least in the mind of your target market. As Philip
Kothler on his book Marketing Management (2012) wrote, “Customers
often do not judge values and costs accurately or objectively, rather
they act based upon their perceived value of the product. Therefore,
marketers should work hard to attract and retain customers by offering
the highest customer-perceived value”.

Market Research on the determination of the affect,
cognitive and the other environmental factors surrounding the consumer
and how these interact with one another reflects or results to the
decision making for purchasing or being loyal to a brand; should help
marketers and companies to how they need to develop their brand. The
concept of consumer attitude and behaviour varies with time and
demographical differences. Hence, successful companies frequently
conduct research about their product/s and their customers. This is a
non-commissioned market research on the brand comparison in terms of
image and performance between the Japanese’s Toyota and Korean’s
Hyundai car brands in the perception of business executives in the
National Capital Region as car owners and users.
Statement of the Problem:
1. What are the perception of the business executives in NCR as
car owners and users between Toyota and Hyundai cars in
terms of brand image and performance?
2. Would a conceived favourable brand perception equate to a
higher sales or market share? (How does consumer perception
of the brand affect the marketability/ preference or choice of
their brands in their purchase of cars?)
6
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
Objectives:
General Objective:
To conduct a market survey on the perception of
business executives in Metro Manila between Toyota and
Hyundai car brands according to brand image and brand
performance.
Specific Objectives:
To identify the factors differentiating the brands in terms
of image and performance between Toyota and Hyundai
cars in the perception of Metro Manila’s business
executives as car owners and users.
To determine the correlation of these factors in the
marketability/brand preference of the two brands.
To collect information on brand awareness, brand
satisfaction and brand market share for both Toyota and
Hyundai car brands
Hypothesis:
1. Business executives in Metro Manila perceive both Toyota and
Hyundai car brands with equal brand image and brand
performance.
2. The image perception of the brand is correlated with the
market sales of the brand. Whereas, Image perception refers
7
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
to the Brands Awareness, and Brands Perceive Performance.
Thus,
A. That the brand awareness is correlated or affects the
brands market sales. ( The awareness on both brands
Toyota and Hyundai affect its product sales)
B. That the brands perceived performance is correlated or
affects the brands market sales. (The perceived brand
performances of Toyota and Hyundai affect their product
sales).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study focused mainly on the behavioural
reactions of respondents regarding the image and the perceived
performance of Japanese and Korean cars, specifically of
Japanese’s Toyota cars and Korean’s Hyundai cars.
Measuring such behaviour was undertaken through a
random sampling survey conducted right after the formulation of the
well conceptualized questionnaire. The samples have 30 respondents all
residing or working (business location) within the boundaries of the
cities encompassing the National Capital Region (Metro Manila).
It covered the perceptions of a particular market segment
which is the local business executives in today’s time frame and
solicited their experiences and reactions about their own car or
knowledge about cars for the last three years. It only tackled consumers’
brand awareness on cars, preferences, and satisfaction in terms of the
8

product and services offered by major cars in the Philippines esp. Toyota
and Hyundai.
In totality, this research was limited only within Metro
Manila business executives and was more a study of the consumer
perceptions rather than actual market scenario. Business executives as
respondents were limited to managerial to top management positions. It
was only about their perceptions and experiences related to their
personal car and not on any company sponsored car.
Significance of the Study:
For Metro Manila households at least for the average
and above average families, buying car is a necessity otherwise for
some it’s a major decision either as a basic commodity or as a luxury.
The significance of this study is for both to the end consumer and to the
car manufacturer/distributor.
First, on the part of the consumers, the current owners
and the intenders (those who intends to purchase a car in the
immediate future), this research would provide them some insights on
how car owners just like them perceived cars in view of the brand
image and performance, focusing more on the two current and most
saleable cars in the country today, Toyota and Hyundai. Specifically,
intenders may opt to use these insights for their purchase or next
purchase of their own car.
For the car manufacturers and distributors of cars
especially in this country, this research is an implementation of the
9
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
basic analysis of knowing your market and identifying the needs and
wants of your target market. Consumer behavior is an important
element as part of the internal/operational environment of a brand. A
research like this would serve as guidelines for building or creating
products in line with the target market’s demand. It is significant also
that having the business executives as respondents to this research for
it gives the car manufacturers and distributors information about this
particular segment of their market; information that may be use for
their promotion and marketing strategy.
Definition of Variables:
Brand Image- is a set of beliefs held about a specific brand.
(Meaning and Concept of Brand Image.
2013, April 13).
- these are symbols and representations that are created in
the minds of the consumers/customers describing the brand
(product/service) of which relative to the information and
expectation they may have regarding the specified brand.(ex.
Toyota cars are generally “affordable” car. But Prius of Toyota is a
luxury car). Brand Image in this case refers to brand
awareness/top of mind brand association, price sensitivity, brand
value perception, and brand relevance/emotional attachment to a
brand.
10
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
Brand Performance- is a brand metrics that captures the strength or
weakness of a brand.
- is a measure of the brands quality and
perceived benefits for the consumers/customers (Reliability,
Durability, Easy Maintenance, Fuel efficiency).
Marketability – is a measure of whether a product will appeal to
buyers and sell at a certain price range to generate a profit (Chris
Newton, Demand Media, Chron.com; uploaded 2013).
- Simply means, that the brand is saleable or not, whether
the brand can be easily sold in the market in a price that
earns high profit.
- Here, marketability refers to the brands market share
under a specific market segment.
Brand Preference- refers to the consumer/customer’s activities of
choosing one’s brand over the other brands. A brand with high
preference means that the brand is first in the share of mind (top
of mind, awareness), share of heart (in terms of relevance and
emotional attachment), and share of pocket (the brand is the first
choice in actual purchase).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The Beginning
The car industry in the Philippines begun during the
American colonial period from 1898-1946; when only American made
automobiles were sold in this country. Brands like Ford, Opel, and Mazda
were among the popular brands sold then among the few elites who can
afford to buy cars; until the change in political scenario took place.
Martial Law was declared by then President Ferdinand Marcos. The
eventualities of the Oil Crisis in 1973, enforces his decision to advise
Filipinos only to buy smaller, more efficient vehicles with four cylinders.
(Cars of the Philippines -Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (n.d).This
policy forced to lead some vehicle manufacturers to withdraw from the
Philippines, but also have encouraged some car manufacturers to enter
the local car market. Brands like Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda
are some of these brands. Take note that it is during this time when
Japanese cars over take car manufacturing and distribution leadership
from the American car manufacturers, also known as the Detroit’s Big
Three (MAYNARD, M. (2013, April 13).
12

Toyota specifically has the biggest market share not only
in the Philippines but has taken market leadership worldwide. (Dawson,
C.); retrieved, March 17, 2013).
Hyundai entered the Philippine market via grey imports (via
Starex and Grace Vans), and almost a decade after Kia has distributed its
familiar Kia Pride and Pregio van. Since 1998, it has become the leading
Korean car make and the fastest growing car brand in the country today.
(Hyundai Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (n.d).
The Market Perspectives:
The popularity of these two Asian car brands can be
attributed because of the following factors; quality, safety, value for
money, performance, design/style both exterior and interior, technology
innovation and environmentally friendly/green.
(Car Brand Perception Survey: Consumers name their top 20 brands.
(2013, April 13). All these factors are translated as the consumers’
perception of the brand. These perceived quality, perceived safety,
perceived value, perceived performance and other perceived good
attributes are important to the development of the brand’s image. As
the conclusion of Md. Enayet Hossain, on his research “An Evaluation of
Brands Image, Product Attributes and Perceived Quality of a Selected
Consumer Non-durable Product”, 2007 ,that there is a strong
relationship between brand image and brand preference. The brand with
a higher image generated significantly greater preference. The higher
13
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
levels of brand preference to brand acceptability will in fact yield
substantially greater market share.
Accordingly, in the same car brand perception survey by
the Consumer Reports National Research Centre early this year, 2013,
Toyota scores number 1 in the all combine 7 consumer perception
factors, and 15th for Hyundai. Moreover, the survey also ranks these
according to consumers’ list of priorities in buying for their brand of car.
On top are the quality and safety factors followed by value and
performance, design, technology and then environmental aspects.
Women respondents gave significant importance to almost every
factor than men except that men prioritize design/style as a purchase
decision factor than women. (Car Brand Perception Survey | Best Car
Brands - Consumer Reports. (2013, April 13). In the Philippines, a survey
on face book page among Filipino car owners published by Vernon
Sarne, in Top Gear, May 2,2012 resulted 1241 responses with Toyota
following 2nd after Honda as brand with the highest perceived quality,
and Hyundai at 6th place. The author however reiterates that high quality
perception won’t always elicit good sales result. That product quality is
only one factor in the purchase decision making of a brand. It may be
that the brand rank high in quality perception but place low in sales of
car. Other of the factors then has to be considered.

What the actual sales are saying.
Moreover, secondary data provides this research
information regarding the documented sales of cars in the Philippines
from the year 2009 to 2010. The report was from records posted by the
Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI).
Notably, it shows that Toyota remains the leader in the car
sales count having years of consecutive top sales performances from
year 2009 to 2010.
The Japanese car maker was able to sold 56,855 units in 2010, 18.8%
more from its sales in 2009 which was 46,193 units. The report said,
Toyota had 33.7% of the total Philippine market for car sales.
On the other hand, Hyundai has almost doubled its previous
sales from 11,086 units in 2009 to 20,172 units in 2010 securing its 3rd
place in the car sales performance ranking in the Philippines only after
another Japanese car manufacturer, Mitsubishi.
Top seller ships for Toyota Motors Philippines according to
this report were due to high sales for the brands Vios and Innova, while
for the Korean brand Hyundai were Tucson, Grand Starex and Sta Fe.
The Philippine car industry has managed to sell a total of
168,490 units in 2010, higher than of the annual sales made in 2009.
The highest ever; (although a little short from the projected sales set by
the organization of 170,000 units), since 1996 when CAMPI sets a record
of having sold 162,000 units.

Availability of more units and access to financing were the source of
attribution for these high car sales in 2010, according to the car
manufacturing association, CAMPI.

Many surveys about brand perception and brand awareness can be
read all over. One of this is the survey conducted by the Consumer
Reports National Research Center (2008). It has collected opinions of
new car buyers presenting the categories which played importance on
their buying decision making.

In this graphs, it shows how the Philippine car industry has seen growth
over the last few years. It also shows how industry experts forecast
growth in the next few years. Accordingly, it is expected to increase
onwards 2015.(www.focus2move.com)
The Business Executives:
According to a site, I Seek Career,” business executives
run companies or government agencies. They create plans to help their
18
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
organizations grow.” (Business Executives. (2013, April 13). ISEEK). Here
the person of such stature is described as being a decision maker. He
may be covering one of the jobs as the company’s chief executive
officer, department store manager, or small business operator
(Executive Director, President, EVP). In other words, he/she is the one
who’s in charge of their organization. The impact of this character trait
to consumer behavior factor in purchase of a car is that this kind of
consumer generally decides on the basis of understanding the equation
of things. One who weights what is to be given and what would be
achieve or receive. So it is important then for the marketers or for the
manager of the car brand to clearly see the benefits if s/ he is to buy
the brand, The capacity to decide for the car purchase may be of similar
process/undertaking when that business executives decides for his/her
company, that decision making is greatly of his/hers.
In terms of educational background and training, the site
also has these descriptions of a business executive. One who has
bachelor’s degree or higher and has significant years of working
experience. The effect of this knowing the education is a way of
segmenting our target market. Having such information, marketers
would know how to leverage in promoting or sending the message to
this market in selling the brand. Moreover, age bracket for this segment
is between 30’s to 50”s. Hence, the personalities and likes and dislikes
vary compare to other jobs.

Lastly, business executives in general receive $77.00/hr
(Business Executives. (2013, April 13). ISEEK) or about Php50, 000.00 to
Php300, 000.00 per month on an average salary (NSCB).

METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the type of research methodology
adapted for this particular research. It describes what type of research
design was used, what techniques were carried out for the data
gathering, and how sample or selection of subjects/ respondents’
performed.
Research Design:
This research is an applied research via descriptive-
comparative, co- relational research analysis. Its primary objective is to
gain knowledge and understanding of the consumer behavior
specifically of the selected respondents, the business executives by way
of measuring their perceptions on the comparative car brands Toyota
and Hyundai; describing their nature/unique characteristics and their
responses on issues of brand image, performance and satisfaction and
how these perceived values correlate to their choice of brand or brand
preferences as evident to the brands’ market sales or market share.
In terms of time dimension, this is a one-time research
task for which it’s a cross sectional study which fulfils the basic
20
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
requirement of getting the detailed responses of the survey respondents
thru a statistical research process done accordingly.
Research Location:
For the most part of the primary data gathering, the
research was set on a fieldwork (in situ). Survey interviews were
conducted within the boundaries of National Capital Region. This
includes respondents residing and/ or working in the cities of Manila,
Makati, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros,
Mandaluyong, Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City, San Juan, Valenzuela,
Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas.
Sampling Technique:
This research used the non-probability convenience
sampling technique for generating samples on the basis of its research
location. The significance of this is that the total number of
predetermined sample would be insufficient to distribute with the
number of cities prescribed as the research locations. There are about
17 cities in just about 30 survey samples under study. Besides,
constrained by the insufficiency on time to spend the whole survey
prevented this research study for wider and well represented samples in
terms of research location coverage.
21
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
Research Respondents:
Respondents for the survey are the business executives
residing and or working within areas specified in Metro Manila. Sample
size was earlier predetermined for this study to be at 30 respondents.
This is subdivided accordingly into subgroups:
a. Job title: (1) Top Executives/Management (2) Middle Management
and (3) 1st Level Management/ Junior Executives. Distribution for this
subgroup is not predetermined.
b. Gender: (1) Male- comprises 18 respondents which is 61% of the
total studied sample (2) Female- 12 respondents meanwhile constitute
the opposite gender which is 39%. The distribution was based on the
ratio and proportion set up strategy in which facts that came up from
the recent International Business Report published by the global
auditing firm Grant Thornton in March 7, 2013, denotes that there are
about 39% women business executives handling varied leadership
management position all across the different business industries in the
Philippines
c. Age- is classified as (1.) 25-34yrs old (2) 35-44 yrs old (3) 45- 54 yrs.
old (d) 55 yrs.old-65yrs old. Due to the unavailability of data regarding
age bracket among business executives in Metro Manila, this study
carried on the judgmental /convenience sampling in relation to age of
their respondents.
Other demographic factors considered for the selection of
respondents are: personal and household income of the respondents
22
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
which should be at the minimum of Php35, 000.00 /monthly basis or
above (which means respondents belonged in the ABC1 eco class). Such
classification follows the standard economic classification in usual
research studies in the Philippines.
Civil status of respondents: (1) Single. (2)Married/ with
partner (3) Separated/Divorced. (4) Widowed. No prior pertinent
research data is available on the civil status of business executives thus;
survey respondents were handpicked as they are conveniently present
at the time and place thru out the survey period.
All respondents are owner and/or driver of a private
passenger vehicle purchased new within the last 5 years. Furthermore,
respondents are part of the decision making when purchasing vehicle for
the household. Confidence level for the result is at 95% with +- 5 %
margin of error.
Sampling Technique:
In the absence of related information on the actual
number of business executives in the Philippines, and the limitation
described herein (which includes limitations on time, money and other
resources such as available pertinent data or related information and
workforce), in selecting the appropriate samples, this research used the
non-probability sampling technique. Specifically, the adaption of a
23
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
judgmental survey or purposive survey based on the pre quota
determined ratio of the prescribed sample.
The use of such sampling technique allowed the
researchers to work within the specified limited schedule, subscribed to
getting the appropriate number of respondents based on the prior
subgroups created which is correlation, an assumption that difference on
subgroups would result a variation on the respondents answers. Hence,
the general opinion of male respondents may differ from female
responses, and that age and civil status affects their opinions.
Research Instruments:
The research survey made use of the Direct or Face to Face
Method for the primary data gathering. There are carefully prepared
questionnaires which were asked face to face to the survey respondents
following the standard code of carrying out interviews. On the type of
questions asked, this research used an open and close and combination
type, of multiple choice types, ranking type and scale type of questions.
There are 21 varied questions that attempted to measure
the respondents’ perception on and about the comparing brands’ image,
performance and preferences. To avoid bias and increase the level of
confidence of this survey, there were appropriately designed additional
questions relating to respondent’s personal profile and affiliation
(screener questions). Moreover, the level of measurement used for
these variables are nominal (for categorizing responses accordingly),
ordinal, where responses as variables would be treated as a summary by
24
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
rank, and for questions pertaining to variables of performance and
satisfaction, the levels of measurement used was interval.
Initially, the researchers had a pilot survey conducted with
at least 5 respondents presumably a representation of the necessary
subgroups. The 5 respondents were composed of 3 males and 2
females, all business executives from different age brackets, civil status
and geographic varieties. This is to test the validity and reliability of the
questionnaires before it was asked to all the remaining survey sample
respondents.
Research Tool for Data Handling and Analysis:
For the handling of data gathered and analysis, this
research study simply implored the use of the MS Excel supported by
logical manual skills. Tabulations, graphical representations and textual
interpretations are administered for better appreciation of data
gathered.

Willingness to pay more or less with the brand compared with current brand
Text 21
Respondents were also asked if ever they will be purchasing a car with reference to their current car meaning if conditions and options provided will be the same with that of their current car how much are they willing to pay for more or for less for the cars, Toyota and Hyundai. The results of the surveys shows, Hyundai: 30% are willing to pay the same price of their current brand, only 10% would be willing to pay for 25%more for a Hyundai, and 3.3% to pay 50% more for this brand. However, 33.3% says they will only pay for this brand at 25% less, 10% says they will pay this type at a price 50% less than their current brand, and about 6.7% will pay less than 75% or 100% less than their current car brand's price.

Toyota: 56.7% will pay equal amount of the price for their current brand,16.7% are willing to pay 25 % more, 3.3% are willing to pay up to 50% more of the price of their current brand. 20% of the survey respondents said they will only pay for a Toyota brand at a price 25% less of their current brand and 3.3% if it be price at less than 50%.

Construct Validity and Reliability Test:
In the writing this paper, the researchers is made aware about the validity of the
constructs used and the reliability of the research instruments used for testing the
constructs.
Construct validity measures are directly concerned on the theoretical relationships
of a variable with the other variables in a research. These variables are what usually termed
as independent variables as to the dependent variables. As we know constructs are abstracts
that are difficult to measures since they are not readily observable. The operationalisation
61
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
of the constructs requires developing a series of measurable behaviors and attributes that
were put into certain hypothetical statements for testing. For this study, it follows steps
constructed by Crocker and Algina (1986); where the first step involved the generation of
hypothesis (H1). There is an equal degree of brand perception between Toyota and
Hyundai cars among Business executives In Metro Manila, H2. Brand awareness is co
relational with/ affects the market sales of the brand, and H3. Brand perceive performance
is co relational with/affects the market sales of the brand) in establishing correlation ships
between or among constructs used. Second, is to choose measures to represents such
constructs of interest (brand awareness, brand image, and brand perceived performances).
Third, pursue an empirical study to test the hypothesis and 4th. Analysis of the gathered data
to check whether the hypothesis or its alternative can explain the relationships if there’s
any between variables. In this case, the measurements for co relationships between/among
variables is done thru the Pearson’s Correlation analysis
Pearson’s Correlation Analysis:
According to Malhotra (2004), correlation analysis is a
statistical summary of the strength of association between two metric
variables which is called Pearson’s Correlation Analysis. It refers to the
Pearson’s correlation coefficient in describing or analyzing relationships
between variables. In this case, the relationships we tested for are the
market sales (brand marketability) and the brands awareness and
perceived brand performances. The coefficient which is represented by
‘r” indicates both the magnitude of the linear relationships and its
directions. The book Elementary Statistics by Basilica Ebora Blay has
summarized its principle:
Between ± 0.80 to ± 0.99 high correlation
62
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
Between ± 0.60 to ± 0.79 moderately high correlation
Between ± 0.40 to ± 0.59 moderate correlation
Between ± 0.20 to ± 0.39 low correlation
Between ± 0.01 to ± 0.19 negligible correlation

Managerial Implications
In Marketing, the term Branding is such a significant
word. But accordingly branding can be summarised into three concepts;
share of mind, share of heart, and share of wallet. All three have
something to do with the brands perception; an image that the brand
would like to portray and be seen as by its target market. Normally, the
brands objectives start from aiming to be the top brand in the mind of
its target consumers. Retention or recall activities is very important for a
brand to be always remember by consumer just when the time the
prospect decides to purchase the related product in the brands
category. And if not the first brand at least to be one of the many or few
brands that the consumer may think of so as to be part of the list of
choices during the buying decision. However, awareness is not all that it
is needed. The brand should be minded of its significance to its target
market. Significance in the sense that it’s functional and as well as
emotional attachments to each and every consumer can be used during
the decision process of buying the product. Hence, creating a likeable
and useful to the brand image is another aim for every brand managers.
Brand image is established for over a period of time. It necessarily
dictates that brand surveys what its target market would want to have in
a brand and then from there it creates its image to extend other than its
actual brand characteristics. This is what refers to getting the share of
hearts of your market. This is what this survey research points out. Yes
actual brand quality is very important. But there are a lot of brands in
every single category now. How a brand leverage among its competitors
71
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
start from how it is being perceive and what the brand is doing to be
perceive as it wanted to be perceived. Applicably, the automobile
industry has lots of brands in competition. Toyota was able to topple the
former leaders due to its actions and ability of being more a customer
centric, the opposite of what then car leaders were doing.
Along with improving its actual strength and benefits
(quality and functions), brands must understand the behavior and
attitude of its target market. Understanding consumer behavior is
always as significant as delivering or emphasizing the value of quality
for every car brands. Perhaps, there are more better quality cars than
Toyota. It may probably be less functional and less valuable than some
barnds out there in the market. But, obviously, Toyota leads not because
of its super and best quality characteristics. But because it was able to
cut share enough to the minds and hearts of its consumers hence being
able to have a larger share in the wallet of its markets. It is an
observation to the researchers that Korean brands esp. Hyundai is
learning from Toyota’s experiences. Though, a long and very extensive
efforts this brand must to be able to surpass the former’ in the car
industry leadership.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Branding is all about getting the share of mind, share of
heart and ultimately the share of wallet based on the brand’s target
market. Brands are actually the totality of all the experiences, related to
the product/s, services and the company that creates and delivers it. In
an article on line entitled, Brand Perception and Decision Making
(http://www.infotrends.com/public/Content/MRD/Projectdescriptions/
brandperception.html), the writer summarizes his views about brand
perception as the customers’ functional as well as emotional
experiences with the brand. Attachments and associations that the
customers may have over a period of time thru the various sources such
as personal encounter with the product/services, the company’s staff
and employees, the so-called customers service, thru friends and
colleagues who have also had encountered/experience with it, and the
various advertising and promotions/campaign,
Hence, Brand managers need to know and understand how the
consumers perceive and select products and services in each and every
category the brand is competing for. This is leveraging. This is what
brands must do.
In the car industry in the Philippines, several major brands play in
competition.
Toyota and Hyundai are two of the front runners. Both must think about
their consumers. Both must understand how their specific targets
73
A Comparative Study on the Image and Perception between Hyundai and Toyota Cars among Business Executives in Metro Manila
markets perceive their brands, and what measurements do these
markets uses in selecting/deciding which brands to choose and buy.
This research have verified that there is correlation
between brand awareness and market sales (marketability), between
brand preferences and marketability, between having a good brand
image and market (Summary of degree of correlation is provided
herein) sales. However, the degree of correlation varies While it is not
very conclusive to generalize that this research have of its results, since
only few samples were undertaken; that it is by one of recommendation
that another survey must be conducted of a much larger scope; but it is
a verification that when consumers are aware of the brand, the higher
the percentage that this brand may be part of the consumers list of
brand choices, thus the probability to increase it sales. In the same way,
that when consumers have perceived a brand, associate it with
things/images they can relate to, being such the brand may expect a
greater market share. Toyota and Hyundai seems to know these
principles. Their sales performance may speak for themselves.
Accordingly, Toyota must continue its focus on being customers centric.
Listen to their consumers. Surveys like this help. Remember that market
is an ever changing place.
Though consumer behavior sets a pattern, but consumers are people
who think and acts, subject to several changes. To stay on top, brands
must always ready for innovation and change. Hyundai is a relatively
new player. But this far, it has shown its capability to slice a bigger
market share. Just like when Toyota was able to take control the car
74

industry from the Detroits’ big tree. Hyundai is a threat to its leadership.
This research recommends to every stakeholders to look at their
position as it becomes clear here the correlations of every variables.
Variables such as brand awareness, brand image, brand preferences
(satisfaction) that directly affects marketability of a brand.
The results are suggestive. Buyers and intenders of new
cars may use the numbers to help them decide whether which brand to
choose the next time they decide to purchase a car. This research
focused on the opinions of business executives. A way varied market
segments are there to be explore.
