6. Applying the appropriate multivariate analysis technique for the purpose of data analysis.

7. Analyzing the findings from the analysis.

8. Reaching to a conclusion based on the findings.

9. Providing our recommendations.

DATA ANALYSIS:

• 45% of the respondents had bought their car 1 - 2 years back

• 41% of the owners of Wagon-R car lies in the age group of 20 – 30 years of age.

• Majority of the owners travel less than 50 kms per day

• Majority of the respondents had monthly fuel expenditure between Rs1000 to Rs2000.

• 51% of the sample population has mileage of the car between 14-17 kms per liter

• Overall satisfaction level of 80% of the respondents is average or high.

CONCLUSION

The researchers have come to the conclusion that the inference of the satisfaction level which

they have reached according to their hypothesis is almost in accordance with the satisfaction

level that the consumers have rated.

And level of satisfaction depends on many factors like average consumption of Fuel, Mileage,

etc.

SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT

• This project is basically to find out the consumer satisfaction of passenger cars. But the

researchers have basically concentrated on only one car brand in order to avoid the

complexities. Due to this study has limitation of limited sample

• Nearly 75% of the surveys (25% telephonic) are limited to Pune city only which is students

and office people hub which makes it more biased toward young people.

• This project tries to ascertain various factors which affect level of satisfaction in consumer’s

mind.

The Maruti Wagon-R is a made for India version of Suzuki Wagon R. The Wagon-R was born

out of Japanese kei-jido-sha restrictions which dictated a limited length and engine size. This

boxy, tall-boy design has now completed five years of presence on Indian roads. Maruti's launch

of the car was ill-timed. Despite being one of the world's first tall-boy designs (along with

models from Daihatsu and Daewoo), the Wagon-R was not first-to-market in India. The Hyundai

Santro, a less avant garde version of the Hyundai Atos was the first tall-boy design to hit the

Indian roads. It preceded the Maruti-Suzuki Wagon R by a two year lead. The Wagon R’s bread-

box shape did not immediately cut ice with the Indian consumer and the car saw slow sales

initially. The car is powered by a 1061 cc four cylinder, sixteen valve, multipoint fuel-injected

engine producing 64 bhp (47.7 kW) at 6200 rpm and 84 newton-metres (62 ft·lbf) of torque at

3500 rpm.

The car comes with a variety of trim levels. These include the LX (sans power steering), LXi

(power steering), VXi (fully loaded) and the AX (automatic). The car normally comes with a 5-

speed manual transmission and seats 4 (including the driver) comfortably. Light kerb weight

(750–775 kg) makes for a nimble car with good acceleration and a top speed of 160 km/h

(99 mph). The car's fuel economy is somewhere in the range of 13 to 14 km/l (7.7 to 7.1 l/100

km) in city driving and 18 to 20 km/l (5.6 to 5.0 l/100 km) on the highway.

BASIS FOR THE METHODOLOGY

CLASSIFICATION OF DATA

Business research can be classified into 2 categories i.e. Primary research and secondary

research.

Primary research includes collecting primary data. Primary data is collected directly from

respondents using data collection methods like survey interviews, questionnaires, measurements,

direct observation etc. Here the researcher is directly involved in the collection of information

required to answer the research questions. Secondary data is the data that already exists which

has been collected by some other person or organization for their use. Sources of secondary data

include websites, journals, books etc.

Source of primary data for the present study is collected through questionnaire and answered by

the small investors. The secondary data is collected through Internet search.

QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD

As it is seen that survey research is carried out by having the questionnaire filled up. A

questionnaire is a set of questions to be asked from respondents in an interview, with appropriate

instructions indicating which questions are to be asked, and in what order. A questionnaire serves

four functions viz. enables data collection from respondents, lends a structure to interviews and

provides a standard means for writing down answers and help in collecting data.

Under this method, list of questions pertaining to the survey were prepared for all those who own

Wagon-R car. Structured objective type questions were prepared for the respondents with fixed

response categories. All of the questions were of multiple-choice type. The questions have more

than one alternative.

As it is known now that primary data was collected through survey methods. Loop holes in

secondary data can be filled by primary data i.e. by survey methods. They provided valuable

information on peoples’ opinions and perceptions about various issues with a bearing on the

research problem.

SAMPLING METHOD

• The Basis Of Sampling: -

In the case of survey of Wagon-R cars, people those who own Wagon-R car were chosen

randomly regardless of their age, occupation, etc. Therefore, Random Sampling was taken

Sample Size - 150

(110- Local i.e. Aundh, Baner, KP, etc.)

(40- telephonic i.e. across India)

Questionnaire design

Steps undergone while preparing questionnaire

1) Preliminary Decisions:

Many decisions were taken before framing the actual questionnaire. These decisions

related to information required, the target respondents and the choice of interviewing

techniques. The decisions as follows,

a) Required information:- Information required was regarding the satisfaction of

passenger cars and the research was carried out to estimate the satisfaction level of

Maruti Wagon-R

b) Target respondents:- Target respondents here in this research survey were the people

who owned Wagon-R across India

c) Interviewing technique:- Personal Interview, Mall Intercepts, Telephonic Interview,

Mail Survey were techniques used for interview.

2) Question content:

a) The usefulness of data: - Each question contributed to the survey.

b) Effectiveness in producing data :- Which have some contribution in conclusion

c) The participant’s ability to understand:- Easy language and easily understandable

d) The respondent’s willingness to answer

3) Response format:

The format usually deals with issues relating to the degree of freedom that should be

given to respondents while answering the questions.

a) Open ended questions:-

These type of questions require the respondents to respond in their own words

without being restricted.

b) Close ended questions:-

Questions which restrict the respondent’s answers to pre defined response actions, are

called close ended questions. In this research, the researcher has used close ended

question in order to get the required response in required direction.

Ex. Multiple choice, binary, etc.

In our survey, most of the question were closed ended.

4) Question wording:

It tests the abilities of the person framing questions, his effectiveness in cross

communication. The effective translation of the desired question content into appropriate

words does the trick in gathering responses. The questions in this research were put into

simple words by the researchers to gather as much accurate information as possible.

5) Questionnaire sequence:

It relates to the proper sequencing for better and effective response. The questions should

be in a proper flow and the questions should not come out abruptly. The questionnaire

prepared for this research had proper flow of questions with one question related to

another. For ex. Lead in questions, qualifying questions, warm up questions etc

Using structured and formal methods of data collections as seen in survey research is not

effective all the time and has many disadvantages. A major drawback in using quantitative

methods is the problem of deliberate falsification where the respondents knowingly fabricate the

answer to private and sensitive questions. It becomes difficult to probe into subconscious mind

of respondents to collect factual data. For that we have to use quantitative analysis.

DATA ANALYSIS

Age Factor

Age is an important factor to estimate the satisfaction level as different people may give

importance to different attributes than the factors which young people prefer.

Ranges of age taken by the researcher to make the analysis simpler and make its

understanding simple are:

� 20 - 30

� 30 - 40

� 40 - 50

� 50 – 60

� 60 - 70

The above pie chart shows the %age of people who lie in different ranges. Majority that

is 41% of people who own Wagon-R car lies in the age of 20 to 30 yrs. This implies that

the Wagon-R car basically targets the youth and people in this age group are working

professionals and have to travel through traffic. As in the present scenario, ease of driving

has got much more affinity than other features of the car due to traffic congestions.

Unavailability of parking space, fuel consumption and maintenance influences the young

people’s choice of buying this small, easy to drive vehicle. And people in this age group

are busy working professionals and usually have issues relating to time.

Time of purchase

The above graph shows that that majority of buyers fall in the range of 1-2 years, so we

can infer that sale of Wagon-R right now is not as good as 2 years back. This may be

because of strong competition from foreign Auto-Players.

A most of the respondents were students and office going people, and most of the office

going respondent live near their office itself so they don’t have to travel a lot.

Monthly fuel Expenditure

According to the above bar graph, majority people spend monthly on fuel between

Rs1000 to Rs2500. The expenditure on fuel varies from person to person on the basis of:

• Total monthly usage of the car and Mileage of the car

This inference has been drawn from the data of frequency of maintenance services used

by the customers and average of the car.

FIELD FINDINGS

Before moving on to the field findings, the researchers need to discuss the barriers which they

faced while filling the questionnaires:

1. Language barrier

There were many people who could not make out the language followed by the

researchers i.e. English. They had to be communicated in the local language

2. Difficulties in interpreting the questionnaire

There were many people who were confused in many of the questions. So researcher had

to provide explanation for many questions

3. Time constraint

As most of the target sample consists of office going people, time constraint was always

there.

4. Biased behavior toward brand

Some people feel too much attached to Maruti, so they tend to get biased.

Area Visited

1. Food Joints

2. Parking lots

3. Malls like Ozone, Central, etc.

4. Busy Roads

TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS

One objective of sampling is hypothesis testing. In this survey, the hypothesis testing began by

making some assumptions about the population parameter.Then the sample was gathered and

sample statistic was determined. To test the validity of the hypothesis the difference between the

hypothesized value and the actual value of the sample statistic was determined.If the difference

between the hypothesized population parameter and the actual value would be large then the

hypothesis will be rejected. If it would be small then it will be accepted.

There are two hypotheses :

1) Null hypothesis(H₀):This asserts that there is no difference between the statistic and the

population parameter and whatever observed difference is there is merely due to chance.

2) Alternative hypothesis (H₁): Any hypothesis which contradicts null hypothesis is

called an alternative hypothesis.

After taking sample data mean and standard deviation will be calculated .In this survey we

have taken totally 9 variables on which Y is dependent.

Each variable can take any value among 1,2,3,4 and 5.

1-----very low

2-----low

3-----average

4-----high

5-----very high

Due to similarity and interdependency some veriables are going to be clubbed.They are as

follows

Y(overall satisfaction level)

X1(delivery time)

X2(schemes offered)

X3(engine noise)

X4(Ease of Driving)

X5(jerks)

X6(color)

X7(vibration)

X8(seat confort)

X9(mileage)

X10(luggage Space)

X11(Height)

X12(Body)

X13(Quality of accessories)

Formula for Y is

Y=(X1+X2+X3+X4+X5+X6+X7+X8+X9+X10+X11+X12+X13)/13

Once the value of Y is known ,mean and standard deviation will be calculated, And before

getting into hypothesis null hypothesis is to be mentioned .

Here we are taking null hypothesis as 3(Average satisfaction level)

Alternative hypothesis is taken as <3 .

H₀=3

H₁<3 Assumption : Level of significance is 5%

observed standardized value=( x ̄-µ)/ σ=13.98

H₀=3

H₁<3

The observed value lies in accepted region, we can accept null hypothesis.

Thus the level of satisfaction for Wagon-R is Average according to the researchers’

hypothesis.

FINDINGS AND INFERENCES

The major chunk of India’s population lies in the age group of 20-30 i.e. the youth comprises the

major part of India’s population. According to the statistics, the largest segment of car users is

also the same group.

AGE GROUP

Maruti Wagon-R being one of the most trusted Brand and stylish also is able to attract youth of

India:

• 41% of Wagon-R owners are in 20-30 age group

• 32% of Wagon-R users are in 30-40 age group

• 14% in 40-50 age group

• 12% in 50-60 age group

• Mere 1% in 60-70 age group

So we can say that Wagon-R attracts youth and Middle age office going people due to its

compact size and High mileage.

DAILY TRAVEL

As majority of the respondent are office going and students, they generally doesn’t live far from

their place of working. So nearly 80% of the respondent fall under 50 kms per day.

• 37% of Wagon-R owners, travel less than 20 kms every day

• 43% of Wagon-R owners, travel 20-50 kms every day

• 18% travel 50-100 kms

• 2% travel more than 100 kms

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Majority of owner have their monthly expenditure in between 1000-2000 i.e. 51%. As most of

the people travel less than 50 kms per day, fuel consumptions is in between Rs.1000-2000.

• For 19% of the owners, monthly expenditure is less than Rs.1000

• For 51% of the owners, it lie between Rs.1000-2000

• For 30% of the owners, it is above Rs.2000

HIGH FUEL EFFICIENCY

Wagon-R was able to give high mileage even in city conditions as against its competitor Santro,

which has low fuel efficiency as compared to Wagon-R.

• For 26% of owners, mileage is in between 10-13km per liter

• For 51% of owners, mileage is between 13-17 kms per liter

• For 23% of owners, mileage is above 17 kms per liter

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Researchers recommend that Wagon-R is an appropriate car in the B segment with above

average level of satisfaction for the middle income group people because as per their

findings, this car has above average level of satisfaction among majority of the owners of

Wagon-R.

• Another recommendation is that the researchers have taken a sample of just 150 Wagon
