Introduction
INTRODUCTION OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Customer satisfaction is a key factor in formation of customer’s desires for future purchase
(Mittal & Kamakura, 2001). This fact, especially in the Middle Eastern cultures, where the
social life has been shaped in a way that social communication with other people enhances
the society, is more important (Jamal & Naser, 2002). Although satisfaction has been defined
as the difference between expectation and performance, but there are differences between
quality and satisfaction. For example, parasuraman et al. (1991) say that satisfaction is a
decision made after experience while quality is not the same. Expectations for goods are
“would”, while in service quality literature, expectation for goods “should”.
Cadotte & Turgeon (1988) have introduced another group of factors known as neutral
factors. Besides, Lilander & Strandvik (1993) say that experience is not needed for
evaluating service quality, and service can be evaluated on the basis of the knowledge about
service provider, while satisfaction is an inner view, resulted from customer;s own
experience from the service. Finally, several researches have been done on the relation
between service quality and satisfaction: findings of some of these researches show that
satisfaction results in service quality.
FACTORS AFFECTING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Customer satisfaction is overall impression of customer about the supplier and the products
and services delivered by the supplier. Following are the important factors that could affect
customer satisfaction:
 Department wise capability of the supplier.

 Technology and engineering or re-engineering aspects of products and services.
 Type and quality of response provide by the supplier.
 Supplier’s capability to commit on deadlines and how efficiently they are met.
 Customer service provided by the supplier.
 Complaint management.
 Cost, quality performance and efficiency of the product.
 Supplier’s personal facets like etiquettes and friendliness.
 Supplier’s ability to manage whole customer life cycle.
 Compatible and hassle free functions and operations.
The above factors could be widely classified under two categories i.e. suppliers behavior
and performance of product and services. The supplier’s behavior mostly depends on the
behavior of it’s senior subordinates, managers and internal and employees. All the functional
activities like customer response, direct product and maintenance services, complaint
management etc. are the factors that rely on how skillful and trained the internal and human
resources of the supplier are. The second category is regarding all the products and services.
This depends on the capability of supplier to how to nurture the products and services
efficiently and how skilled the employees are. It’s all about how the skills are implemented
to demonstrate engineering, re-engineering and technological aspects of the products and
services. The quality and efficaciousness of the product is also an important factor that
enables compatible and hassle free function and operations. This bears to lower maintenance
and higher life of the product which is highly admired by the customers.
If the product is having some problem or compatibility issues and requires frequent
maintenance and support than the customers could get irritated and possibilities of sudden
divert is there which lead to supplier’s financial loss. In the same way if the product is
expecting huge amount of financial and manual resources then customers could get a feeling
of dissatisfaction and worry. However, if these aspects are handled efficiently by giving class
services and dealing with complaint effectively then dissatisfied customers could be
converted into long time satisfied customers and retaining then becomes easy.

COMPANY PROFILE
The Himalaya drug company is a company established by M. Manal in 1930 and based in
Banglore , India. It produces health care products under the name Himalaya Herbal
Healthcare whose products include ayurvedic ingredients.It is spread across locations in
India, the United states, the middle East ,Asia and Europe, while its products are sold in 90
countries across the world. The products are dispensed globally and thoroughly researched in
the Banglore facility and other prestigious universities globally.
Himalaya's story began way back in 1930. A curious young man riding through the
forests of Burma saw restless elephants being fed the root of a plant, Rauwolfia serpentina,
which helped pacify them. Fascinated by the plant's effect on elephants, this young man, Mr.
M. Manal, the founder of Himalaya, wanted to scientifically test the herb's properties.
With no money and only a pocketful of dreams, he pawned his mother's jewelry to buy a
hand-operated tableting machine. The years that followed were a time of endurance and a
test of the young man's patience, strength and passion. He spent his days learning about
herbs from neighborhood healers and his nights working on the machine to make a few
hundred tablets. His vision was to 'bring the traditional Indian science of Ayurveda to society
in a contemporary form'.
In a time when herbal products were regarded with scepticism, our founder's belief in the
healing power of herbs was unwavering. He felt that if people were offered safe and effective
herbal medicines, they would come to accept them as part of their healthcare routine. He
believed that herbal medicines could and should be evaluated on the same quality and
efficacy parameters as conventional medicine. This was possible through empirical research.
Once scientific research proved that herbal products worked, even doctors could be won
over. This was a big dream with big challenges. But he persevered on despite the obstacles.
After four years of researching the herb Rauwolfia serpentina, Serpina®, the world's
first natural antihypertensive drug was launched in 1934.
The discovery set the future course for Himalaya. It taught us the value of
scientific research. It also taught us the importance of patience, passion and perseverance.
We have since focused on converting Ayurveda's herbal tradition into a range of proprietary
formulations dedicated to healthy living and longevity.

 The scope of study is limited due to limited sample size, i.e, 60.
RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The methodology that was adopted for the study includes both primary source data as well as
the secondary source of data. The methodology of the study can be explained as follows :
DATA COLLECTION
Data collection refers to a purpose gathering of information relevant to the subject matter
under study and methods depend mainly on nature, purpose and scope of the enquiry to be
undertaken on the available resources and time.
Data collection is one of the methods of research. There are mainly two methods of
the data collection.
 PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION

 SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION
PRIMARY DATA :
The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus happens
to be original in character. We can obtain primary data either through observation or through
direct communication with respondents in one form or another or through personal
interview.
SECONDARY DATA :
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer to the data which have
been already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes
secondary data, then he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them.
 Internet
 Company manuals and booklets
 Books etc.
The source of information is generally classified as primary and secondary .

According to payline V. young The source of information can be classified into
documentary sources and field sources.
a) Primary data :-

source.
Methods of generating primary data
i. Survey
ii. Personal interview
iii. Observation
iv. Questionnaire
b) Secondary data :-
Books, diary, manuscript, letter, magazine, internet etc. are the secondary or documentary
source. The researcher for this dissertation has decided to use primary source as
questionnaire and secondary sources as books and internet for data collection.
Tools Of Data Collection :
a) Questionnaire and observation was used as tool for primary source of data collection.
b) Books and internet was used as tool for secondary source of data collection.
Pre-study :
After careful study of literature and expert consultation the researcher still may have only a
rather vague idea about the critical element in his problem. As pilot study sometimes may be
launched as a step preliminary to the form scale before original study are carried out in order
to gain some preliminary information of the main project.
Pretesting:-
Pretesting is the process of an advance testing of study design after the interview schedule
has been prepared. The researcher referred books and internet to get prepared literature for
this project and report.
Processing:-
Once the collection of data is over the main step top arranged for processing and analysis of
data.
Editing:-
The preparation of the data forms for the tabulations must include on operational procedure
for accepting, modifying or resection individual questionnaire.
Tabulation:-
Tabulation is a process of summarizing raw and display it in compact forms for further
analysis. Analysis of data is made possible through tables. These tables sre made for
different variables and to show relationship with each other.
Interpretation of data:-
Analysis and interpretation are central step in research process. The goal of analysis is to
summarize collected data in such a way that they provide answer to the and triggered the
researcher. Interpretation is the research for the broader meaning of research finding.
