    Buying beha!ior is an attempt to understand and predict human actions in the

    buying role. The issues that dealt within the discipline of consumersI buying

    beha!ior areJ

    0hat products and ser!ices do the consumers buyK

    *ow do they buyK

    0hy do they buyK

    )rom where do they buyK

    0hen do they buyK

    %onsumer beha!ior pro!ides a sound basis for identifying and understanding

    consumer needs. ,t is the act of the indi!iduals directly in!ol!ed in obtaining

    and using economic goods and ser!ices.

    The study of consumer beha!ior is an essential component of mar"eting. The

    adoption of mar"eting concept by the mar"eters pro!ides the impetus for the

    study of consumer beha!ior.

    ,n case of New +roduct ,ntroduction in the mar"et4 there is a ris" of product

    failure. To increase the chances of success of new products4 better information

    of the consumer beha!ior is required. Their desires4 tastes and preferences are to

    be ta"en care of. So from all these aspects the study of consumer beha!ior is

    important.

    The following are a few e&amples of the benefits of the study of consumer

    beha!iour deri!ed by the different categories of peopleJ

    9. A mar"eting manager would li"e to "now how consumer beha!iour will

    help him to design better mar"eting plans to get those plans accepted

    within the company.

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    11/39

    ;. ,n a nonprofit ser!ice organisation4 such as a hospital4 an indi!idual in

    the mar"eting department would li"e to "now the patientsF needs and how

    best to ser!e those needs.

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    12/39

    There are four ma3or factors which influence the consumer buying beha!iour

    are as followJ

    CU!TURA! FACTORS

    %ultural factors e&ert the broadest and deepest influence on consumer beha!ior.

    The roles played by the buyers culture4 sub culture and social class are

    particularly important.

    CULTURE-

    "asically, culture is the part of every society and is the

    important cause of person wants and behavior. The

    in#uence of culture on buying behavior varies from country

    to country therefore mar!eters have to be very careful in

    analy$ing the culture of dierent groups, regions or even

    countries.

    SUB-CULTURE-

    %ach culture contains dierent subcultures such as religions,

    nationalities, geographic regions, racial groups etc.

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    13/39

    &ar!eters can use these groups by segmenting the mar!et

    into various small portions. 'or example mar!eters can

    design products according to the needs of a particular

    geographic group.

    SOCIAL CLASS-

    %very society possesses some form of social class which is

    important to the mar!eters because the buying behavior of

    people in a given social class is similar. n this way

    mar!eting activities could be tailored according to dierent

    social classes. (ere we should note that social class is not

    only determined by income but there are various other

    factors as well such as) wealth, education, occupation etc.

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    14/39

    SOCIA! FACTORS

    REER!CE "ROU#S-

    *eference groups have potential in forming a person

    attitude or behavior. The impact of reference groups varies

    across products and brands. 'or example if the product is

    visible such as dress, shoes, car etc then the in#uence of

    reference groups will be high. *eference groups also include

    opinion leader +a person who in#uences other because of his

    special s!ill, !nowledge or other characteristics.

    A$IL%-

    "uyer behavior is strongly in#uenced by the member of a

    family. Therefore mar!eters are trying to nd the roles and

    in#uence of the husband, wife and children. f the buying

    decision of a particular product is in#uenced by wife then

    the mar!eters will try to target the women in their

    advertisement. (ere we should note that buying roles

    change with change in consumer lifestyles.

    ROLE A!& STATUSES-

    %ach person possesses dierent roles and status in the

    society depending upon the groups, clubs, family,

    organi$ation etc. to which he belongs. 'or example a woman

    is wor!ing in an organi$ation as nance manager. ow she is

    playing two roles, one of nance manager and other of

    mother. Therefore her buying decisions will be in#uenced by

    her role and status.

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    15/39

    PERSONA! FACTORS

    A buyerIs decisions are also influenced by personal characteristics. These

    include the buyerIs age / stage in the life cycle4 occupation4 economic

    circumstances4 lifestyle4 personality / self concept.

    A"E ' STA"E I! T(E LIE C%CLE-

    ge and life-cycle have potential impact on the consumer

    buying behavior. t is obvious that the consumers change

    the purchase of goods and services with the passage of

    time. 'amily life-cycle consists of dierent stages such

    young singles, married couples, unmarried couples etc

    which help mar!eters to develop appropriate products for

    each stage.

    OCCU#ATIO!-

    The occupation of a person has signicant impact on his

    buying behavior. 'or example a mar!eting manager of an

    organi$ation will try to purchase business suits, whereas a

    low level wor!er in the same organi$ation will purchase

    rugged wor! clothes.

    ECO!O$IC CIRCU$CTA!CES-

    Consumer economic situation has great in#uence on his

    buying behavior. f the income and savings of a customer is

    high then he will purchase more expensive products. /n the

    other hand, a person with low income and savings will

    purchase inexpensive products.

    LIEST%LE-

    0ifestyle of customers is another import factor aecting the

    consumer buying behavior. 0ifestyle refers to the way a

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    16/39

    person lives in a society and is expressed by the things in

    his1her surroundings. t is determined by customer interests,

    opinions, activities etc and shapes his whole pattern of

    acting and interacting in the world.

    #ERSO!ALIT% A!& SEL-CO!CE#T-

    2ersonality changes from person to person, time to time and

    place to place. Therefore it can greatly in#uence the buying

    behavior of customers. ctually, 2ersonality is not what one

    wears3 rather it is the totality of behavior of a man in

    dierent circumstances. t has dierent characteristics such

    as) dominance, aggressiveness, self-condence etc which

    can be useful to determine the consumer behavior for

    particular product or service.

    PSYCHO!OGICA! FACTORS

    A personIs buying choices are influenced by four ma3or psychological factors

    moti!ations4 perception4 learning4 beliefs and attitudes.

    $OTI)ATIO!-

    The level of motivation also aects the buying behavior of

    customers. %very person has dierent needs such as

    physiological needs, biological needs, social needs etc. The

    nature of the needs is that, some of them are most pressing

    while others are least pressing. Therefore a need becomes a

    motive when it is more pressing to direct the person to see!

    satisfaction.

    PERCEPTION-

    +erception is the process by which an indi!idual selects4 organi5es4 /

    interprets information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world. A

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    17/39

    moti!ated person is ready to act. *ow the moti!ated person actually acts is

    influenced by his or her perception of the situation.

    BELIES ' ATTITU&ES-

    belief is a descriptive thought that a person holds about

    something. Through doing 4 learning, people ac5uire beliefs

    4 attitudes. These in turn in#uence their buying behavior.

    2articularly important to global mar!eters is the fact that

    buyers often hold distinct disbeliefs about brands or

    products based on their country of origin. n attitude is

    person6s enduring favorable or unfavorable evaluations,

    emotional feelings, and action tendencies towards some

    ob7ect or idea. 2eople have attitude toward almost

    everything) religion, politics, clothes, music, food, and so on.

    ttitude put them into a frame of mind of li!ing or disli!ing

    an ob7ect, moving toward or away from it.

    RATIONA! OF THE STUDY

    The study is global in scope4 since many of the ris"s in!ol!ed are global or

    regional in nature.

    )or this study4 stress is defined as a situation where pri!ate sector proponents

    ha!e e&ited4 or are contemplating e&it from a pro3ect. ,nformation on stress was

    deri!ed from the 0orld Ban"Fs +ri!ate +articipation in ,nfrastructure ++,$

    dataset4 which was used as the source for much of the data used in the

    estimation. This global dataset contains pro3ectspecific information on a large

    number of pro3ects classifiable as +++4 including the total !alue of in!estment4

    sector4 subsector4 type of transaction4 and multilateral participation. ,t co!ers

    pro3ects which achie!ed financial closure from 9D6> up to the present. The data

    is crosssectional4 with pro3ects classified according to their current status i.e.4

    whether they are operational4 distressed4 canceled4 or concluded$. Although the

    data is crosssectional4 it contains temporal information that can also be used in

    analysis. Because the sample period spans the emergence of +++ in the late

    9D67s4 through the Asian and Argentine crisis4 and beyond4 the sample includesmany pro3ects that ha!e undergone the most tumultuous e&periences in +++4 as

  • 8/10/2019 Asif Khan Maruti

    22/39

    well as the periods of consolidation that followed. The ++, dataset is augmented

    by countryspecific macroeconomic data and4 where a!ailable4 additional

    pro3ectspecific data such as country growth and e&change rate information.

    Analy5ing and addressing stress also helps sta"eholders enhance +++Fs

    attracti!eness as an in!estment4 by minimi5ing the fiscal and social impacts of

    poorly designed and managed pro3ects.

    SCOPE OF THE STUDY
