CHAPTER-II: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
The meaning of insurance is important to understand for anybody that is
considering buying an insurance policy or simply understanding the basics of
finance. Insurance is a hedging instrument used as a precautionary measure
against future contingent losses. This instrument is used for managing the possiblerisks of the future.
Consumer behavior refers to the mental and emotional process and the observable
behavior of consumers during searching, purchasing and post consumption of a
product or service.
Consumer behavior involves study of how people buy, what they buy, when they
buy and why they buy. It blends the elements from psychology, sociology,
psychology, anthropology and economics. It also tries to assess the influence on the
consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups and society ingeneral.
Buyer behavior has two aspects: the final purchase activity visible to any observer
and the detailed or short decision process that may involve the interplay of a
number of complex variables not visible to anyone.
Marketing is a societal process by which individuals and groups obtain what
they need and want through creating offering and freely exchanging products and
services of value with others for a managerial definition marketing has often beendescribed as The art of selling the products but people surprised when they hear
that the most important part of marketing is not selling is only the trick of the
marketing iceberg.

Management respectively. The presence in all three fields signifies the importance
that the group attaches to the Indian markets and the group's operations here, as
well as its bullish future outlook on the country.
ING and ING Vysya Life Insurance are headquartered at Bangalore, while the
corporate office of ING Investment Management is situated at Mumbai. The
synergies arising out of the three distinct but complimentary businesses are bound
to be an asset to the group in the changing market dynamics of the future. The first
such signs are already visible on the horizon with combined products being
successfully launched by the different entities of the group in conjunction with each
other.
The origin of ING Group:
On the other hand, ING group originated in 1990 from the merger between
Nationale Nederlanden NV the largest Dutch Insurance Company and NMB Post
Bank Groep NV. Combining roots and ambitions, the newly formed company called
Internationale Nederlanden Group. Market circles soon abbreviated the name to I-
N-G. The company followed suit by changing the statutory name to ING Group
N.V..
Profile:
ING has gained recognition for its integrated approach of banking, insurance and
asset management. Furthermore, the company differentiates itself from other
financial service providers by successfully establishing life insurance companies in
countries with emerging economies, such as Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Poland,
Mexico and Chile. Another specialization is ING Direct, an Internet and direct
marketing concept with which ING is rapidly winning retail market share in mature
markets. Finally, ING distinguishes itself internationally as a provider of employee

benefits, i.e. arrangements of non wage benefits, such as pension plans for
companies and their employees.
Mission:
ING`s mission is to be a leading, global, client-focused, innovative and low-cost
provider of financial services through the distribution channels of the clients
preference in markets where ING can create value.
The immediate benefit to the bank, ING Vysya Bank, has been the pride of having
become a Member of the global financial giant ING. As at the end of the year
December 2008, ING's total assets exceeded 1332 billion euros, employed over
125000 people, and served over 85 million customers, across 50 countries. This
global identity coupled with the back up of a financial power house and the status of
being the first Indian International Bank, would also help to enhance productivity,profitability, to result in improved performance of the bank, for the benefit of all the
stake holders.
ING Vysya Bank Ltd., is an entity formed with the coming together of erstwhile,
Vysya Bank Ltd, a premier bank in the Indian Private Sector and a global financial
powerhouse, ING of Dutch origin, during Oct 2002. The origin of the erstwhile Vysya
Bank was pretty humble. It was in the year 1930 that a team of visionaries came
together to found a bank that would extend a helping hand to those who weren't
privileged enough to enjoy banking services.
It's been a long journey since then and the Bank has grown in size and stature to
encompass every area of present-day banking activity and has carved a distinct
identity of being India's Premier Private Sector Bank.

Conclusions
Our exhaustive research in the field of Life Insurance threw up some interesting
trends which can be seen in the above analysis. A general impression that we
gathered during Data collection was the immense awareness and knowledge among
people about various companies and their insurance products. People are beginning
to look beyond LIC for their insurance needs and are willing to trust private players
with their hard earned money.

7/31/2019 22356914 Consumer Buying Behavior
27/71
People in general have been impression by the marketing and advertising
campaigns of insurance companies. A high penetration of print, radio and Television
ad campaigns over the years is beginning to have its impact now.
Another heartening trend was in terms of people viewing insurance as a money
back guaranty and investment instrument as much as a protective one. A very high
number of respondents have opted for insurance for such purposes and it shows
how insurance companies have been successful to attract public money in recent
times.
The general satisfaction levels among public with regards to policy and agents still
requires improvement. But therein lies the opportunity for a relative new comer like
ING Vysya Life Insurance Company Ltd. LIC has never been known for prompt
service or customer oriented methods and ING Vysya Life Insurance can build on
these factors.
