 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

DEFINITION:

Research refers to „a search for knowledge‟. It can be defined as a scientific and

systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested
solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deduction and reaching
conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis – Clifford Wood.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

It is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as science of

studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are
generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic
behind them. In general, methodology is an optional framework within which the facts are
placed so that the meaning may be seen more clearly. The sources of data shown that
designing of a research plan calls for decision on the data sources are research approaches
(primary and secondary data) research instruments (observation survey experiment)
sampling plan and contact methods (personal interviews).

11
RESEARCH DESIGN

A research design is the determination and statement of the general research approach or
strategy adopted for the particular project. It is the heart of the planning. If the design
adheres to the research objectives, it will ensure that the client need will be served.

Research design is a plan structured and strategies of investigation. It is the arrangement of

condition and analysis of data in a manner to combine relevance to the research purpose
with economy in procedure.

• In order to achieve the objective it was necessary to talk to the customers and
public to draws the conclusions regarding the objective.
• For visiting the customers and publics to collect the relevant information; a
questionnaire has to be designed. The questionnaire was designed in such a manner
to achieve the objective of the research.
• The sample size taken is 100 customers and publics.

12
TYPE OF RESEARCH

In this project, Descriptive Research has been used.

Descriptive Research:
This is kind of research structure which is concerned with describing the characteristics of
the problem. In this way the main purpose of such a research design is to present a
descriptive picture about the marketing problem on the basis of actual facts. For this it is
important to obtain the complete and actual information about the subjects.

NATURE OF RESEARCH

Quantitative type of research has been used. As all the data was based on numerical
figures obtained in the survey.

TYPE OF QUESTIONS
The questions were self-administered, with a view to obtain maximum information from
the respondent that is why the questions were straightforward.

TYPE OF QUESTIONNAIRE
The entire questionnaire was standardized and formalized.

TYPE OF ANALYSIS
As all the data found in the survey is totally numerically so the type of analysis was
statistical.

13
SOURCE OF DATA

• PRIMARY DATA

The data which is collected fresh and for the first time and thus happen to be the original
one characteristic is called as the primary data.
1
• SECONDARY DATA

The data which is already collected by someone else and which have been passed through
the statistical process is known as the secondary data.

METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA

Interview Method

In this project I have taken the questionnaire method for collecting necessary information.
In this method a questionnaire is given to the person concerned with question to answers
the question and return the questionnaire.
A questionnaire consists of number of question printed in a definite order on a form or a set
of form.

14
SELECTION OF THE SAMPLE/SAMPLING PLAN

This is one of the most important steps of a research design procedure. Generally, in
most of the marketing studies on sample or most of the sub group of the total
population pertaining to the subject is included on the place of the universe.
The following things are primarily considered in the sample:-

• Sample size

The sample size of the population was 100 respondents.

• Sample Population

A survey of people who either own or plan to purchase tractor and on located in
Lucknow city only.

• Sample extent
1
2 Mohan lalganj
3 Gosai ganj
4 Malihabad
5 Maal
6 Bakshi ka talab
7 Itaonja

15
 • Sampling Methods

The sampling method for the survey was random sampling. Random sampling suggest
away of sample selection where in any item of the population is likely to be selected in
a sample as any other item it means that all items of the population have equal
probability of being selected in the sample.

SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION

The report mainly consists of a data from the primary source gathered the schedule of
questions. Questionnaire is the formal tool of asking questions directly from
respondents by which questions are asked. Information about the product is taken from
various sources such as websites, newspapers etc

16
 Limitations of the Study
 Time constraint has prohibited from going deep into the subject.

 The information obtained or the collection of data is limited.

 The study is purely academic.

 Due to time, constraints the study is restrict to Lucknow city only.

 Only the customers of Lucknow district were considered as

Respondents.

 The survey was conducted in this rural sector of respondents.

 The information provided by respondents could be biased.

 INDUSTRY SCENARIOS
The tractor industry in India has developed over the years to become one of the
largest tractor markets in the world. From just about 50,000 units in early eighties the
size of tractor market in the country has grown up to over 200,000 units. Today
industry comprises of 14 players, including 3 MNCs. The opportunities still are huge
considering the low farm mechanization levels in the country, when compared to
other developed
economies across the world. Key concern for the industry is its dependence on
agricultural income in hands of farmers and the state of monsoon. The key players
are Sonalika, John Deer, Mahindra, New Holland etc.

History of the Tractor

The word tractor was derived from the combining parts of the word tractor and motor
and was first noted in a patent issued in USA in 1890. A self-profiled power unit used
to pull 100 to carry and operate till age cultivation harvesting, machinery to provide
power take of or other, power out let a drive stationary and down implements,
machinery as distinguish from tractor to pro puller steam engine tractors.
Tractor was first used during the 1870's these tractors ‘called tractors engine were
large four wheeled machine driven by steam. They provided enough power to pall as
money as 40 plough they were too awkward to be practical. The first tractors in the
since of powered traction vehicles, grew out of the stationary and portable steam
engine operated on farms in 19 the century and used to hour plows by 1890's.

19
Uses of Tractors

Following are the uses of tractor.

1. In the field of agriculture tractor have on important role to play in rising

productivity.
2. Tractor is used in the field of transportation. The fertilizers can be carried to
the field & the produce to the market with the help of tractors. It is also for the
purpose of transportation goods from one place to another.
3. Through the use of tractor farm practices were revolutionized & agriculture
crops were increased per hectare. Mechanized farming becomes possible through
the use of tractors.
4. In stone crushers before the blasting of rocks drilling machines are used to
drill the rocks with the help of tractors.
5. Not only has animal power been displaced & human effort reduced
through the use of tractors.

20
Role of Tractors in Indian Agriculture

India has always been heavily dependent on agriculture for its economic growth. It
follows that mechanized farming would increase agriculture output in the given
the huge trucks of land which cultivated are would assume that tractors are sold in a
big way in our country.
Indian agriculture is as old as civilization itself & the Indian farmer has the benefit
of a vast past experience the yield of crops in India are very low when compared to
even some of the south east when compared to even some of the south east Asian
countries.
Agriculture forms the backbone of the Indian economy & despite concerted
industrialization in the last four decades; agriculture occupies a place of pride.
Being the largest industry in India, it is the source of livelihood for over
70% of the national income. Its importance in industrial development in the
supply of raw-materials to leading industries like jute, textile, sugar etc, is very
high.
Agriculture increase national income & it helps in industrial development,
agriculture helps for the promotion of international trade & the development
of agriculture is essential for economic growth, the significance of agriculture in
India arises also from the fact that the development in agriculture is an essential for
the development
of the national economics.
Though the experience of Indian farmer the yields crops in India very low when
compare to other countries. For this reasons are quite obviously mono cropping
& repeated use of land without rest is one problem is the efficient use of good
fertilizers expect domestic fertilizers also primitive & traditional, besides the
wooden plough, hoe,
sickle & other old method of practicing agriculture no any mechanical or other
devices are used.
By mechanization of agriculture, we mean the replacement of animal & human
power by machinery & pouching done by tractors. Sowing & putting of fertilizers
by the drill & reaping & thrashing by the combined harvester & so on. The tractors

21
 will so be used in transporting crops to markets. By using tractors, crops can be
easily taken.

The Indian Tractor Market

The Indian tractor industry, dominated since time immemorial by a few

known brands, is in the process of a change. A look at the average growth rate recorded
by the tractor industry point towards a general slowdown. The growth rate for the eight
month period April- November 1996 has dropped to 13% from 16% recoded during the
previous year. Among the 3 Indian majors, Mahindra & Mahindra Tractor &Farm
Equipment (TAFE) & Punjab tractors, only M&M has recorded a marginal drop in
market share.
Overall all of them have witnessed increased sales in terms of volume. As for the others
which include the links of Eicher, HMT, ESCORTS etc., there has been steady Eros the
market share. A begin state policy, which provides the buyer subsidies & soft loans has
seen the tractors become a popular substitute for the LCV as utility vehicle in rural
areas. Due to the general slowdown in the growth rate of the Economy, the
industry expects to slow down. The growth rate in tractor declined from 18.5%
in 1994-95 to 17.3% in 1995-96 & 1996-97 (April-Nov).
But there is one company which has defined this entire ‗slowdown‘pattern & is
growing at a steady pace. The co. is Punjab Tractors Ltd. The market share of Punjab
tractors has increased from 11% to 14.9% in 1996-97 (April- December). It overtook
Eicher in 93-94& Farm Equipment (TAPE).
The future of the tractor industry will see a shakeout of sorts. The small players will
either have to survive. According to experts, ten years from now, the market will
stagnate. If at all there is a market that will grow, it will be one for replacements. Till
then Tractor players will continue to trudge along slowly maintaining a 5-6 percent
growth rate.
Hence the performance of the companies, from the automobile industry that have
featured in this year's top50 reveals that though the industry is in the grip of
recession players with very good fundamentals will always continue to reward the
investors.
The Indian tractor industry sold approximately 2.2 lakh tractors between, April
1996&March 1997. On an average the tractor market gas grown by 6% to 7% each year

22
since 1993. When the industry was of around 1.4 lakh tractors in all these years some of
the companies had limited production capacities & the customer had to wait for most
popular models. These problems were more acute in the season & often aggravated by
the Short supply of premium models.

However, since October 1996, a distinct change has been observed in the tractor
market. All tractors models, including the so called premium products, are
readily available in the show room. The main reason for this phenomenon is that all
tractor manufacturers have been gradually increasing their production volume in
the last few years and presently the total production capacity of all the tractor
manufacturers has reached approximately 2.7 lakh units. This will ease the supply
position of tractors and in times to come the customer will not have any waiting period
for a tractor.

Profile of Mahindra & Mahindra Tractors

Mahindra and Mahindra Limited were incorporated on October 2, 1945 as a

private limited company under the Indian Companies Act of 1913 by two
brothers, Mr. J.C. Mahindra and Mr. K.C. Mahindra. It was converted into a public

24
Tractor production started in 1965 in a joint venture company with technical

Mahindra Tractor Histories

From army vehicles to farm tractors to major automobile manufacturing,

Mahindra's relationship with American industry goes back quite a few years.
American GI's who served in India during World War II recognize our parent
company, Mahindra &
Mahindra, which in l945 was selected to assemble the famous Willis Jeep.
Following Indian independence in 1947, Mahindra & Mahindra charted a course of
product expansion and globalization. The philosophy led to the company’s entrance
into the worldwide tractor.
In 1962, M&M formed a joint venture with International Harvester to make tractors
carrying the name Mahindra name-plate for the Indian market. Armed with
engineering, tooling and manufacturing know-how gained from this relationship,
M&M-a major auto maker- developed its first tractor, the B-275. This successor
to International Harvester's incredibly popular B-414 is still the basis for some
current Mahindra models.

26
Mahindra & Mahindra began manufacturing tractors in the early 1960s for the Indian
market. Nearly 50 years later, Mahindra has become one of the top three tractor
companies in the world with annual sales above 150,000 and over 1.6 million tractors
sold to date. Mahindra products are making farms more prosperous in more than forty
countries on six continents. Following the vision of farm-tech prosperity, it has also
expanded into farm-support services, including agri-mechanization solutions under
Mahindra AppliTrac; seeds, crop protection, and market linkages and distribution
through Mahindra ShubhLabh; and agri-support information and counseling through
the Samriddhi Initiative.

Through this network of services, it aims to empower the rural farmer and transform
rural productivity, income, and living standards. It wants to improve farm lifestyles by
making hard work easier, increasing yields, and increasing returns. All Mahindra
tractor brands, ranging from the 15 HP engine to 75 HP, have been designed in close
communication with farmers about their day-to-day tractor usage and farming
practices. Mahindra farm equipment and services provide a comprehensive support
system to help farmers prosper.

Mahindra see a tremendous latent demand for tractors in India. Less than 10 percent of
all farmers own tractors, and 93 million of 116 million farm plots smaller than five
acres. Mahindra’s small, low-cost tractors have the potential to revolutionize these
farmers’ productivity and work experience by mechanizing small farms for the first
time, and their larger tractors help farmers continue to grow. Mahindra has been the
market leader in India for nearly three decades with a market share above 40 percent.

This close relationship to Indian agricultural development has given Mahindra

extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing farm equipment in response to local
conditions, enabling them to enter foreign markets across the world. Today, Mahindra
has footprints in the United States, China, Australia, New Zealand, Africa (Nigeria,
Mali, Chad, Gambia, Angola, Sudan, Ghana, Morocco), Latin America (Chile,
Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Central America and the Caribbean), South Asia (Sri
Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal), the Middle East (Iran, Syria) and Eastern Europe (Serbia,
Turkey, Macedonia). It has a customer base of 1.45 million—and growing.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE

36
BRAND

Since 1945, The Company has been built around the core
idea that people will succeed if they are just given the
opportunity. Employees across the Group constantly challenge conventional
thinking to create solutions that make a significant difference in the lives of
customers. That is why everything Company build—be it a tractor, financial
service, solar-powered lamp, or software—is designed to empower you to
reach your potential.

Internally, Company follow three basic tenets—accepting no limits,

thinking alternatively , and driving positive change in everything

it does. These brand pillars guide all actions of company and business
decisions from deciding whether to enter a new field or planning a portfolio of
services.

37
Accepting No Limits-

Company accept no limits, and ask the same of everyone else. In return,
it works relentlessly to provide the tools, information, and inspiration to push
past limitations and comfort zones.

This challenger spirit galvanized it to meet the oil crisis in the 1970s by re-
engineering its fuel-efficient tractor engines for utility vehicles. It led the
company to take on the challenge of designing the Scorpio utility vehicle at a
cost that many industry experts thought was impossibly low. Company has
created completely new business models to enter areas others had written off
or ignored, like its leading hospitality business and its rural financial services.
And company just registered its highest ever profits despite the worst global
recession since the Great Depression.
This determination influences every aspect of its culture and its employees.
As a result, each Mahindra business constantly pushes the envelope and
raises the bar as it strive to deliver better value to its customers.

38
Alternative Thinking-

Alternative thinking means solving problems in ways no

one has thought of before, by using fewer resources and entering markets
thought to be unreachable.

Take the Scorpio for example—Company developed its best-in-class utility

vehicle from the ground up using a process that put drivers’ needs first. its
Energy Solutions help businesses keep going when everyone else’s lights go
out. Company builds two wheelers that provide affordable mobility solutions to
more people. And its extensive array of innovative IT services are increasing
productivity at some of the world’s leading companies.

Thinking alternatively isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

39
Driving positive change-

Mahindra is a business with a conscience. Every product

Mahindra make and each market Mahindra explore must make sound
economic sense, but it just so happens that smart business decisions are
often good for people and communities as well.

Mahindra strive to spread positive impact through its products and services by
greening its manufacturing process and by being a good employer. Mahindra
want to be counted among the global companies that make incredible
products and services, but it also wishes to be recognized for creating a
better world.

From building green homes with the most eco-friendly materials to providing
loans to rural entrepreneurs, from designing goods carriers that run on
compressed natural gas (CNG) to offering educational programs and
supporting Indian theater, Mahindra strive to make a positive impact on all the
lives it touches.

40
Purpose & Values

Motivation to give best every day comes from its core

purpose: Mahindra will challenge conventional thinking and innovatively use
its all resources to drive positive change in the lives of its stakeholders and
communities across the world—to enable them to Rise.

Its products and services support its customers’ ambitions to improve their
living standards; its responsible business practices positively engage the
communities it joins through employment, education, and outreach; and its
commitment to sustainable business is bringing green technology and
awareness into the mainstream through its products, services, and light-
footprint manufacturing processes.

47
PROMOTION

Promotion is an attempt to influence. More specifically, PROMOTION is the element

in an organization’s marketing mix that serves to inform, persuade and remind the
market of a product and/or the organization selling it, in hopes of influencing the
recipient’s feelings, beliefs, or behavior. Out of 4 Ps of marketing i.e. product, price,
place, and promotion, the most important role is of 4th P i.e. promotion
.
ROLE OF PROMOTION IN MARKETING

• Promotions help marketers to communicate information to potential customers.

This information could be about the product’s Existence (Awareness), value
and benefits offered by products.
• A well designed promotion mix is extremely crucial for brand building and
positioning. In fact communication or promotional mix is at the centre stage in
brand positioning and Brand building activities.
• The promotional mix or marketing communication helps marketers to attract,
persuade, urge and remind customers of the company’s brand.
• Effective promotions prove helpful in product differentiation and also help to
counter competition.

48
COMPONANTS OF PROMOTION

There are five components of promotions: Advertising, Sale promotion, Personal selling,
direct marketing, Public relations. Each has distinct features that determine in what
situation it will be most effective.

1
2
3 1. ADVERTISING:

“It is any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, and
services by an identified sponsor”. The most familiar forms of advertisements are found in
the broadcast (TV and RADIO) and print (Newspaper and Magazines) media. However,
there are many other advertising alternatives, from direct mail to billboards and the
telephone directory to yellow pages. Advertising is often termed as pull strategy. In pull
strategy the goal is to get consumers to pull the product in the supply chain by demanding
it.

MAJOR ADVERTISING DECISIONS

While setting up an advertising plan, following decisions are required to be taken.

• Identify the target audience

• Set the advertising objectives
• Determine the advertising budget
• Design the message
• Evaluate and select media
• Create an advertisement
• Measure the impact.

49
TYPES OF ADVERTISEMENT

MEDIUMS OF ADVERTISING
• Newspapers
• Television
• Radio
• Magazines
• Direct mail
• Outdoor advertisings.

1 2. SALES PROMOTION:

Just as Advertising is known as „Pull‟ strategy, Sales

Promotion is known as „Push‟ strategy. This promotional
technique can be defined as “short-time incentive to the
customer to buy a product”.
According to Philip kotler; “Sales Promotion consists of a
diverse collection of incentives tools, mostly short term
designed to stimulate quicker or greater purchase of a
particular product or services by consumers or the trade”.
The free gifts-offers, discounts, coupons, lucky draws, etc.,
are some of the ways used in sales promotion.

50
SALES PROMOTION TOOLS

1 Consumer promotion:

The consumer promotion directed at Consumers. It includes

Samples, Price off, free gifts, Cash refund offers, premiums,
prizes, warranties, cross promotion, point of purchase.
Consumer’s promotion is to create Consumer pool for the
brand.
The objective behind the several Consumer promotion
programs of different organizations is:
• To generate consumer interest, this should lead to
trial.
• Increase the rate of purchase.
• Generate inquires from the target, consumer group
etc.

1 Trade promotion:

The trade promotions directed to the members of distribution

channel. It includes advertising, Display Allowances. The
Prime objective is to push the product through the marketing,
intermediates and to get them to market the product
aggressively.
Other objectives are:
• Encouraging trade to invest built inventory.

51
 • Getting trade’s co-operation in production.

1 Business and sales promotion:

It includes trades shows and conventions, contents for sales

promotion representatives and for special advertising.
Although sales promotion tools are highly divers but they all
offer three distinctive benefits:
• Communication
• Incentive
• Invitation.

1

3 3. PERSONAL SELLING:

The importance of personal selling is pretty evident as this is

the only marketing activity that directly results into Revenue
earning as its outcome. The simplest definition of personal
selling is-“selling that involves face- to-face interaction
between the sales person and prospective customer.”

52
There are certain products, which need demonstration or
explanations. Personal selling is most effective in promoting
such products.
Advantages of personal selling:
• There is a personal touch and with trained salesman,
the customer can feel important and gives full
attention to the product detailing.
• Demonstration of the product features and product
working helps in better product awareness and
acceptance by consumers.
• Consumer’s queries and apprehensions can be
effectively answered.
• Follow–up action and persuasion are possible.

1

3 4. DIRECT MARKETING:

The Direct Marketing association defines Direct Marketing

as follows: “Direct Marketing is an interactive marketing
system that uses one or more advertising media to affect a
measurable response and or transaction at any location”. This
definition makes it clear that direct marketing is directly
from the company to the customer and there is no
intermediary (retailer, whole seller etc.) involved in between.
Various forms of direct marketing:
• Direct mail
• Telemarketing
• Email Marketing

53
• Couponing
• Direct response television marketing
• Direct selling.

54
1 5. PUBLIC RELATIONS:

Public relations are defined as deserving, acquiring and retaining a favorable reputation in
the market place. Public relations function aims at creating maintaining favorable public
opinion about company’s products, people, policies and plans.
Public relations are defined as “any group that has an actual or potential interest or impact
on company’s ability to achieve its objectives”. The public relations do not directly help
promoting the product but can make product or policy acceptance by the public easy by
generating a favorable image about the company.

PUBLIC RELATIONS IS USEFUL IN

• Acceptance of a company’s as a specialist in a product group.
• Acceptance of company’s policies regarding its employees, dealers, consumers etc.
• Attracting capital and man-power.
• Acceptance of new product and new brand.

weekly Bazaars identified (Ek Mahindra outlets), because this is one of the best & cheapest
way to promote the product. we performed camping at cattle market ,where people get
together to buy bullock for faming . the selection of the location was best to promote
Yuvraj 215 . when people saw the tractor they got attracted by it’s small size but it also
created a lot of question in their mind.

Commonly asked question by customers

One to one customer meet

Personal selling is another form of promotional method most commonly used

by salespersons. This form of selling requires personal contact therefore it is usually
carried out through face to face meetings, telephone, video conferencing, etc. Personal
selling has a key advantage over other promotional method as it relies on a two-way
 communication. Here the sales person is getting an immediate feedback from his
customer. He is getting the opportunity to clarify his client's doubts or concerns
regarding the product.
A promotional offer on radio or T.V may leave many questions unanswered. A sales
person's common task is to make his potential customers aware of the new product.
