WORKING TITLE:
INTRODUCTION:
Every economy consists of three sectors. They are primary sector (extraction such as mining,
agriculture and fishing), secondary sector (manufacturing) and the tertiary sector (service sector).
Economies tend to follow a developmental progression that takes them from a heavy reliance on
primary, toward the development of manufacturing and finally toward a more service based
structure. Historically, manufacturing tended to be more open to international trade and
competition than services. As a result, there has been a tendency for the first economies to
industrialize to come under competitive attack by those seeking to industrialize later. The
resultant shrinkage of manufacturing in the leading economies might explain their growing
reliance on the service sector. However, currently and prospectively, with dramatic cost reduction
and speed and reliability improvements in the transportation of people and the communication of
information, the service sector is one of the most intensive international competition. The service
sector is the most common workplace in India.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION frequently used in marketing, is the measure of how products and
services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer satisfaction is
defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported
experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."
Customer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase intentions and loyalty.
Customer satisfaction data are among the most frequently collected indicators of market
perceptions. Their principal use is twofold.
1. Within organizations, the collection, analysis and dissemination of these data send a
message about the importance of tending to customers and ensuring that they have a
positive experience with the companys goods and services.
2. Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently,
satisfaction is an indicator of how likely it is that the firms customers will make further
purchases in the future.
Most research indicates that the ramifications of satisfaction are most strongly realized at the
extremes. On a five-point scale, individuals who rate their Satisfaction level as 5 are likely to
become return customers and might even evangelize for the firm. (A second important metric
related to satisfaction is willingness to recommend. This metric is defined as "The percentage of
surveyed customers who indicate that they would recommend a brand to friends).
When a customer is satisfied with a product, he or she might recommend it to friends, relatives
and colleagues. This can be a powerful marketingadvantage.) Individuals who rate their
satisfaction level as 1, by contrast,are unlikely to return. Further, they can hurt the firm by
making negativecomments about it to prospective customers. Willingness to recommend is a key
metric relating to customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction plays an important role in both B2B and Consumer markets.
IndiaMART.com is India's largest online B2B marketplace for Small & Medium Size Businesses,
