A. Introduction
Although companies conduct customer satisfaction research for various reasons, the overall goal
is to help them stay as close to their customers as humanly possible.60 Many leading edge
companies and research firms focus on obtaining useful feedback from customers and clients and
converting it into actionable steps to improve their performance. Some want feedback from
customers about existing or new products and services. Others want to know how to target their
resources on issues of concern to customers. Still others want to demonstrate a commitment to
listening to their customers. As a by-product, customer feedback can provide actual examples of
good and bad practices for employee training and continuous improvement efforts. The
organizations objectives define what it wants to learn from customers and guides how the
information is collected. Experts advise that first defining measurable objectives will allow
organizations to learn the effectiveness of your survey, and it will help you in reinvesting the
information you learned.62 In general, the research focus is how reliably the organization
fulfills customer satisfaction and what can be done to improve. The most active verb when you

SERVQUAL which provides the basis for the measurement of customer satisfaction with a
service by using the gap between the customer's expectation of performance and their perceived
experience of performance. This provides the researcher with a satisfaction "gap" which is semiquantitative in nature. Cronin and Taylor extended the disconfirmation theory by combining the
"gap" described by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry as two different measures (perception and
expectation) into a single measurement of performance relative to expectation.
The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey[4] with a set of statements using a
Likert Technique or scale. The customer is asked to evaluate each statement in terms of their
perception and expectation of performance of the service being measured.
Methodologies
This section may contain excessive, poor or irrelevant examples. You can improve the article
by adding more descriptive text. See Wikipedia's guide to writing better articles for further
suggestions. (March 2009)
American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is a scientific standard of customer satisfaction.
Academic research has shown that the national ACSI score is a strong predictor of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) growth, and an even stronger predictor of Personal Consumption
Expenditure (PCE) growth. On the microeconomic level, research has shown that ACSI data
predicts stock market performance, both for market indices and for individually traded
companies. Increasing ACSI scores has been shown to predict loyalty, word-of-mouth
recommendations, and purchase behavior. The ACSI measures customer satisfaction annually for
more than 200 companies in 43 industries and 10 economic sectors. In addition to quarterly
reports, the ACSI methodology can be applied to private sector companies and government
agencies in order to improve loyalty and purchase intent. Two companies have been licensed to
apply the methodology of the ACSI for both the private and public sector: CFI Group, Inc.
applies the methodology of the ACSI offline, and Foresee Results applies the ACSI to websites
and other online initiatives. ASCI scores have also been calculated by independent researchers,
for example, for the mobile phones sector,[5] higher education,[6] and electronic mail.[7]
The Kano model is a theory of product development and customer satisfaction developed in the
1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano that classifies customer preferences into five categories:
7
Attractive, One-Dimensional, Must-Be, Indifferent, Reverse. The Kano model offers some
insight into the product attributes which are perceived to be important to customers. Kano also
produced a methodology for mapping consumer responses to questionnaires onto his model.

its thrust in existing export markets, it is gearing
up to step up its foray into new markets. 2007 also saw the launch of the i10 and yet another
path-breaking record in its young journey by rolling out the fastest 1,500,000th car.
Hyundai's new model i10 made a clean sweep of all the 'Car of the Year 2008' awards from the
leading automotive magazines and TV channels like BS Motoring, CNBC-TV18 AutoCar,
NDTV Profit Car & Bike India and Overdrive magazine. The i10 was also the choice of the
discerning automotive media of the country as they conferred the prestigious 'Indian Car of the
Year' (ICOTY) award to the i10 as well.
The Santro and the Accent also received the 'TNS Voice of the Customer - 2008' award
for the Premium Compact Car (Santro) and the Entry Mid size Car (Accent). In March 2008 it
achieved yet another milestone by rolling out the fastest 500,000th export car.
In 2007, the Hyundai Verna had also bagged some of the most prestigious awards starting with
the Overdrive magazines Car of the Year 2007, the Best Mid-size Car of the Year award from

NDTV Profit Car & Bike India, the Best Value for Money Car from CNBC Autocar and
'Performance Car of the Year' from Business Standard Motoring.
Hyundai cars have been a favorite at all awards ceremonies and has won many awards.
The Sonata Embera won the 'Executive Car of The Year 2006' award from Business Standard
Motoring magazine and NDTV Profit Car & Bike India had declared the Tucson as the 'SUV of
The Year 2006'.
Not only this, HMIL has also been awarded the benchmark ISO 14001 certification for its
sustainable environment management practices.
Quality. Brand power. These are the two priorities for Hyundai Motor Company as it prepares
for the future. No longer content to follow and learn, Hyundai is now seeking to lead the motor
industry in shaping the evolution of motor vehicles. With Hyundai's publicly stated goal of
becoming one of the top five carmakers in the world by 2010, the Hyundai brand will require
careful repositioning. Management realizes that achieving this goal will require strong
determination, resolve but, above all, stronger public confidence in the Hyundai name.
It will also carry with it a new set of responsibilities, such as greater transparency in
management and the environmental, social and economic facets of sustainable development. By
publicly announcing a new global environment management body last year, Hyundai reiterated
its commitment to leadership in the social sphere. Hyundai reinforced its place as a top-rated
carmaker by winning the 2003 Global Automotive Shareholder Value Award presented by
12
PriceWaterhouse Coopers and Automotive News. And for the second consecutive year, Hyundai
captured top honors in the Consumers Satisfaction Survey conducted by J.D. Power and
Associates which also rated the Hyundai Sonata first in its 2002 and 2003 Initial Quality
Survey.
By active implementation of four management policies in 2004, Hyundai will accelerate
the speed of development. First, Hyundai will step up global management by establishing local
support systems across the globe to maintain momentum as a growing global player, expand
overseas manufacturing bases and raise R&D capabilities above the industry standard.
Secondly, by repositioning its brand identity to be known as a maker of refined and elegant
automobiles Hyundai will enhance its brand value. And by improving its product development
system Hyundai will maximize the company is value.
Thirdly, Hyundai will maintain its sustainable management capabilities. Hyundai will devote
itself to fulfilling social responsibilities as a global carmaker by development safer and more
environmentally friendly vehicles while respecting fundamental values, striving for ethical
management and expanding contributions to social causes.
Lastly, Hyundai will attach greater importance to human resources. We will expand the
recruitment of engineers and global specialists multi-lingual talented individuals who are at
home anywhere in the world.
Hyundai Motor will reinforce its position of strength and confidence by continually improving
its management capabilities.
And by promoting the development of national and international co-prosperity, the company
will raise its net value.

ENGINEERING:
ENGINE:
The Hyundai Santro is powered by the advanced Hyundai Epsilon engine. Employing a patented
cylinder head design with dual inlet valves, tumble ports and pent roof combustion chamber, this
engine produces incredible power at a much lower rpm compared to any other car in its category.
With its unique engine management the computer continuously sensing what's happening inside
the engine, to constantly monitoring the engine performance, makes it amazingly responsive to
your touch and feel.
Developed to exacting global specifications at its fully integrated manufacturing plant near
Chennai, the new Hyundai 12V SOHC, inline 4 cylinders, 1086cc Epsilon engine fired by a
Distributor less Ignition System (DLI), delivering an amazing 63Ps of power at 5500rpm and an
impressive torque is 9.8 kgm at 3000 rpm.
The revolutionary DLI System does away with the distributor that wears away and needs
periodic replacement, thereby significantly reducing maintenance cost. The DLI system also
allows for more precise control of spark timing resulting in improved fuel efficiency, reduced
emission and increased power.
The multi-point fuel injection system along with dual intake valves meters the exact amount of
fuel that your engine needs while a Knock Sensor takes care of varying Indian fuel quality.
All these advanced features make the Santro surprisingly fuel efficient and guarantees an engine
efficiency that surpasses Euro II norms.

Sonata Transform
The modern looks that made Sonata an international favorite over the years are now enhanced by
a number of detailed exterior improvements and some major design changes in the interiors.
Among the at-a-glance bodywork enhancements are the chrome radiator grille, wider front
bumper and air dam, larger headlamp clusters, slimmer body side moldings and the newly
designed 5 spoke 16 inch alloy wheels. Along with the subtle touches of chrome, the two-tone
finish also complements the wood grain and satin embellishments. The thoughtfully designed
dials, knobs and inside door handles add elegance to its premium look. To accompany this new
look, the materials used in the components have been upgraded to improve their appearance, feel
and durability.

Hyundai Motor Group, parent of South Koreas two largest carmakers, will bid for a $2.5 billion
stake in Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., setting up a contest between the nations
second-richest man and his brothers widow.
The group, which includes Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp., will submit a letter of
intent today, it said in a regulatory filing in Seoul.
A successful bid would reunite Hyundai Motor with former affiliate Hyundai Engineering, the
nations largest builder. Hyundai Engineerings creditors, including Korea Exchange Bank, will
accept final bids for their combined 35 percent share in the construction company by Nov. 12,
sale arrangers Bank of America Corp.s Merrill Lynch & Co., Woori Investment & Securities Co.
and Korea Development Bank said last week.
Buying into Hyundai Engineering is a part of Hyundai Motors efforts to develop a new engine
of growth, said Yim Eun Young, a Seoul-based analyst at Dongbu Securities Co. Its not
unreasonable for Hyundai Motor to consider acquiring a stake if the price is reasonable.
Hyundai Engineerings market capitalization is about 8.32 trillion won, pricing a 35 percent
stake at about 2.91 trillion won ($2.5 billion), based on todays closing share price.
Family Ties
51
Hyundai Motor Group will compete with Hyundai Group, which said today it may submit a
preliminary bid for the stake before Oct. 1. Hyundai Group affiliates Hyundai Merchant Marine
Co., Hyundai Elevator Co. and Hyundai Securities Co. said in August they planned to make an
offer.
Hyundai Motor and its affiliates severed ties with the former Hyundai Group in 2000 as part of a
plan to split the business into three operations, each of which was to be managed by one of
founder Chung Ju Yungs three sons.
The carmaker is controlled by Chung Mong Koo, the son of the founder, while his brothers
widow, Hyun Jeong Eun, controls the current Hyundai Group. The old Hyundai Groups
shipbuilding unit, which includes shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., was also spun off.
Hyundai Motor is involved in the construction business through its unlisted Hyundai Amco Co.
unit and has no plans to merge it with Hyundai Engineering, it said today. The group also said it
would keep the current workforce at Hyundai Engineering after a takeover.
Future Growth
We decided to bid for Hyundai Engineering in order to strengthen the groups business portfolio
for future growth, Hyundai Motor Group said in a regulatory filing today.
While a stake in Hyundai Engineering could help protect the automaker from a sudden
slowdown in the car business, it risks losing focus if it expands into a new industry, said Park
Hwa Jin, a Seoul-based analyst at Shinyoung Securities Co.
Its too early to judge how Hyundai Engineering could contribute to Hyundai Motor Group
while it still has many things to accomplish in the car business, such as adding environmentally
friendly models, Park said.
Hyundai Motor was unchanged at 161,500 won in Seoul trading today, while Hyundai
Engineering gained 4.9 percent.
Hyundai Merchant Marine, South Koreas second-largest shipping line, jumped to its highest in
almost three years in Seoul trading. The company rose by the daily limit on speculation a battle
52
for Hyundai Engineering may also lead to a fight for control of the shipping line, said Kang
Seong Jin, an analyst at Tong Yang Securities Inc.
Largest Deal
Should Hyundai Motor Group acquire a stake in Hyundai Engineering, the deal may be its
largest since 1998 when it acquired shares in Kia Motor Corp. for 1.2 trillion won in cash and
assumed debt of 2.7 trillion won, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The group plans to finance the acquisition internally, it said today. Hyundai Motor and Kia had
combined cash and equivalents of 9.2 trillion won as of the end of June, according to their
financial statements.
Hyundai Engineerings creditors plan to sell their stake for as much as 20 percent more than its
market value, an official at one of the creditors said earlier this month. He declined to be
identified because the information isnt public.
Hyundai Motor Group hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and HMC Investment & Securities Co.
as financial advisers while Kim & Chang was picked as a legal advisor to work on the bid, it said
today in the filing, confirming previous local media reports.

INTRODUCTION OF PROBLEM
The company wants to know more about the customers satisfaction. Its very important for every
marketer to know about the satisfaction motives of the customers because it helps them to design
programs to retain customers & increase goodwill of the company. It also helps them to increase
brand loyalty. So it becomes a problem for a company to know about customer satisfaction.
The respondents selected to be interviewed were not always available and willing
to co- operate. Also in some cases the respondents were found to not have the
knowledge, opinion, attitudes or facts related with the products. Moreover our
survey consisted of 182 males and only 15 females which led to gender biasness.
We have taken the sample size of 200, which cannot determine the satisfaction of
the total customers. The sample has been drawn from only from one service
centre.
54
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
1. Evaluating post service satisfaction of Customers.
3. Increase the customer satisfaction of the MR Hyundai by providing better services & reduce
service time.
4. Study about the problem in the servicing in order to the satisfaction level of the customers.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Consumer is the central figure of all marketing activities. It is the consumer who determines the
growth, prosperity and even existence of a business enterprise. Hence the marketer should
always feel the pulse of customers. In order to understand the pulse of the customers, the
marketer needs to understand fully the needs of the consumer. It helps him to plan his production
and distribution to suit to the needs and convenience of customers .It also helps him to plan
suitable marketing strategies. Thus it is very essential for every marketer to know his customers
satisfactions. Motive is a strong feeling, instinct, desire or emotion that makes a person to do
something. When a motive makes a person to use a product, then it becomes a customer
satisfaction. Thus customer satisfaction means the influence and considerations which makes a
customer to use a particular product. According to D.J. Duncan, customer satisfactions are
those influences or considerations which provide the impulse to use, induce action or determine
choice in the purchase of goods and services. Customer satisfactions are mainly two types,
manifest motives and latent motives. Manifest motives are those motives which are known to the
customer and also ready to admit them. But on the other hand latent motives are either known to
the customer. Customer satisfaction can also be calculated as follows
1
56
Primary product motives: These motives induce a consumer to purchase general class of the
product. These motives relate to the basic needs of people like hunger, thirst, sleep
57
SCOPE OF STUDY
MR Hyundai working philosophy is particularly based on Prepare employees for the future
developments with developments in their personality. As competition is very much intense
hence the management is working hard for customer relationship to achieve future business
growth.
As it is newly opened organization hence as every other organization it is also facing
some management problems. Management is trying to overcome all these problems and
achieving systematic workings here. Each and every department is distinguished for the
employees. Every employee is having its own designation and job profile and he/she has
to work under that profile only. For each segment of the vehicles, MR Hyundai is having
its separate executives. Departments are connected through local area networks.
The main aim of management here is self development of employees. So that, they can be
empowered for the benefit of the organization and be able to take future responsibilities.
It starts with the joining of the employee in the organization. Initially, they have to work
under various departments till his/her probation period would be over. They have to start
their works from the ground level, so that they can understand the reality of the business
here. Daily reporting at the morning and the evening make them up to date with the
objectives and their future targets. The senior management knows that how they are
doing their work and in which way they have to be directed.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
2.5.3 QUESTIONNAIRES:
Questionnaire is an important step in formulating a research design. Once the researcher has
specified the nature of research design, and determined the scaling procedures, he or she can
develop a questionnaire.
Any questionnaire has three specific objectives.
11. It must translate the information needed into a set of specific questions that the
respondents can and will answer.
22. It must uplift, motivate and encourage the respondent to become involved in the
interview, to cooperate, and to complete the interview. Incomplete interviews have
limited usefulness at best.
33. It should be able to minimize response errors.
It was also important as researchers to respect the samples time and energy hence the
questionnaire was designed in such a way, that its administration would not exceed 4-5 minutes.
These questionnaires were personal administered.
This survey is being conducted to find out that whether you are satisfied with the service
provided by Hyundai Motor India Limited. This survey is purely meant for academic purpose
and not for commercial use.
We would be grateful and appreciate your co-operation in filling this questionnaire.
2.5.5 METHOD DATA ANALYSIS:
We have used the software to analyze our data accurately. After the respondents had filled in the
questionnaires, the data was entered into the software and the analysis was made thereby.
2.5.6 FIELD WORK
Fieldwork plays an important role in collecting the data. I have filled up the questionnaire at MR
HYUNDAI. Some important points which I kept in mind while doing the fieldwork.1 To make the respondents comfortable before questioning him by introducing myself as
student and ensuring the respondent that all information collected is only for academic
purpose and will be kept confidential
2 Ensure that all the questionnaires are filled by the customers only.
3 Not to lead a person into any preconceived notion
4 Not to influence the respondents answers in any way/form.
5 Use simple language, so that the technical language does not intimidate the respondent.

Interpretation: In our survey, out of 200, 76 of the respondents use Santro followed by 62 of the
respondents use i-10 , 44 of the respondents use Accent. The rest of them were those who use
Getz, Verna, Sonata, and Tucson .
Analysis: When it comes to Hyundai, it is observed that Santro has been the most popular
passenger car followed by i-10. India being a price sensitive market, the main reason behind the
sale of Santro is the price at which they are sold. I-10 being the latest entry has started being
popular. It is then followed by the premium cars like Accent and Sonata and SUVs like Tucson.
62
Analysis: It has been observed that majority of the respondents travel almost 20 to 50 Kms.
daily. In the busy schedule today, people prefer to travel in their own vehicle rather than relying
on public transport. Only 6.5% of the respondents preferred to drive long, i.e., more than 100
Kms. everyday.
63
Interpretation: 79% of the customers brought in their car for servicing every 4 to 6
months.9.5% serviced their car once in more than 6 months. 8% of their got their car every 2 to 4
months for servicing and only 3.5% of them serviced every 2 months.
Analysis: Majority of the cars were serviced at regular intervals as instructed by the service
manual. i.e., every 4 to 6 months. It also depended on the distance they covered over these
months. Around 3.5% of the cars came for servicing within 2 months. These mainly comprised

You have availed the services from which of the following service stations?
Analysis: I have limited my survey to MR HYUNDAI only. But there were customers who had
prior serviced their cars at other service centers too. In those cases, I have considered the other
service centre. Majority of 76 respondents serviced their cars at MR HYUNDAI followed by
other service centres like local mechanics or service centre.

were from MR HYUNDAI.

Interpretation: 59% of the respondents were satisfied with the service time taken by the service
centre followed by 19.5% who were somewhat satisfied with the service time. Only1% of the
respondents was dissatisfied with the time taken by the service centre.

When it comes to Hyundai, it is observed that Santro has been the most popular
passenger car. India being a price sensitive market, the main reason behind the sale of
Santro is the price at which they are sold.
It has been observed that most of the respondents travel almost 20 to 50 Kms. daily. In
the busy schedule today, people prefer to travel in their own vehicle rather than relying on
public transport. Only 6.5% of the respondents preferred to drive long, i.e., more than 100
Kms. everyday.
Majority of the cars were serviced at regular intervals in every 4 to 6 months. It also
depended on the distance they covered over these months. Around 3.5% of the cars came
for servicing within 2 months.
I have limited my survey to MR HYUNDAI only. But there were other customers also
who had prior serviced their cars at other service centers too. In those cases, I have
considered the other service centre. Majority of 76 respondents serviced their cars at MR
HYUNDAI followed by other service centres like local mechanics or service centre.

SUGGESTIONS:
After sales service plays a very important role in building up the reputation of an Automobile
company. So this is the area in which the company should mainly focus. I hereby suggest some
measures as a feedback from some of the respondents:
Respondents felt that the service provided by MR HYUNDAI is way better than that of
the other dealers. Hence more company operated workshops are needed to be opened across the
country. It is felt that the other service centres lack genuineness. Customers preferred to come to
this workshop from outstations rather than showing it to the local service or mechanics in the
city.
Few respondents felt that the paint and body was not upto the mark. It is more prone to
rust. This is an area of concern which the company should look upon.
Several customers had to come to the workshop with repeated problems. This needs to
be minimized.
Several customers werent happy with the quality of wash in the service centre. This
needs to be checked.
One of the major areas of concern of the respondents was regarding the booking time.

LIMITATION OF STUDY:
The sample size of our survey is only 200, which cannot determine the behavior of the total
population. Moreover the sample has been drawn only from one service centre in Noida where
the disposable income of an individual is medium.
The behavior of the customer is unpredictable which may result in the lacking of
accuracy in the data.
It has been observed that Santro is the maximum selling car of Hyundai Motor and most
of the respondents interviewed were Santro Customers, which led to biasness in the
analysis of the survey.
Our survey consisted of 182 males and only 18 females, which led to gender biasness.

CONCLUSION:
The report has highlighted the importance of providing the highest customer satisfaction and
how it affects the sales. Though in the month of December, the sales were down, by developing
competitive strategies and by delivering high class products and services, Popular Vehicles and
Services were able to keep their sales momentum. The report emphasizes the importance of
customer loyalty to develop the business.
