REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
1. Verma and Madan (2011) in a study conducted in Indian context highlighted that
retailers are offering newer service dimensions to create unique shopping experiences
for the customers. However, whether consumers are able to perceive newer service
dimensions and getting affected for store patronage in new store formats or not,
remains to be found out. They emphasized the fact that Indian retail environment is
going through a sea change due to the introduction of new formats and opening up of
retail industry, it becomes important to understand the store image perceptions of
consumers here. The study attempted to find out the key factors that are perceived as
important to Indian consumer in evaluation of a retail format.
2. Ghosh, Tripathi and Kumar (2010) in their study conducted in Indian context,
attempted to address issues related to store attributes and their relevance in the store
format selection. Eleven variables (store attributes) had been identified based on
theory and judgment. Factor analysis had yielded three factors: Convenience and
Merchandise Mix, Store Atmospherics, and Services. The factors identified and
recommendations made would be of use to retailers in designing their outlets with
store attributes that would meet the expectations of shoppers and thus motivate them
towards store patronage decisions.
3. Ali, Kapoor and Janakiraman (2010) in a study conducted on households of
Gomtinagar area of Lucknow city analyzed a marketing strategy for a modern Food
and Grocery market based on consumer preferences and behaviour. It was found that
the consumers' preferences of marketplace largely depend on the convenience in
purchasing at the marketplace along with the availability of additional services,
attraction for children, basic amenities, and affordability. Results also suggested that
most of the Food and Grocery items are purchased in loose form from the nearby
outlets, whereas fruits and vegetables are mostly purchased daily or twice a week due
to their perishable nature. However, grocery items are less frequently purchased.
4. Paswan, Pineda and Ramirez (2010) in a study conducted in Mexico investigated
whether influx of large stores is inevitable, by focusing on consumers' motivation for
selecting a retail store, and the association between these motivation dimensions and
the shopping patronage. The results indicated that consumer's preference for small
stores is positively motivated by functional benefits and familiarity with small stores;
and negatively associated with the functional benefits offered by large stores. These
motivational dimensions were also found to be positively associated with the share of
wallet spent at small stores.
5. Theodoridis, and Chatzipanagiotou (2009) studied the functional relationship between
store image attributes and customer satisfaction in the market environment of Greece
and investigated the stability of the structural relationships between store image
attributes and customer satisfaction across different customer groups. They identified
four specific types of buyers, namely, the Typical, the Unstable, the Social, and the
Occasional. While four of the six considered store attributes appeared to be
significant determinants of customer satisfaction, when examined for the degree of
invariance between the four groups only pricing and products-related attributes were
found to be equally significant in all four groups.
6. . Chaubey (2009) in his study conducted in Garhwal Region of Uttrakhand state of
India, identified the consumer perception and their behaviour toward store image,
store patronage and store loyalty. The findings of research indicated that originality of
the product is given highest preference by the respondents and they believe that retail
showroom offers original product. It was followed by the availability of the product
in large variety.
7. Goyal and Aggarwal (2009) examined the relative importance of the various products
purchased at organized retail outlets and the choice of format the consumer had, when
purchasing a product. The results showed that not all items are equally important for
retail outlets and various products need specific retail formats.
8. Choudhary and Sharma (2009) conducted a study in Chandigarh Tricity (Chandigarh
and its satellite cities of Mohali and Panchkula), keeping in view the dynamically
growing organized retail in the region. The data of 200 retailers for the study covered
time frame from the year 2007 to 2008. After an extensive literature review it was
pertinent that size of retail stores and their location played a significant role in
measuring the operational efficiency of retail stores. An empirical analysis was
conducted using chi-square test of independence to understand the role and
contribution of type of retail formats on operational efficiency and to examine the
impact of location on the same. It was concluded from the data analysis that there was
significant influence of format of retail stores and location on the operational
efficiency. However, the degree of association was found to be low.
9. Alhemoud (2008) studied the product selection processes of Kuwaiti nationals based
on their shopping habits in the Co-operative Supermarkets (Government owned
grocery stores). This 67 study attempted to explore the determinant attributes that
influence the patronage decisions of Supermarket consumers in Kuwait. Based on a
descriptive analysis of data collected via an accidental sampling procedure, fourteen
store attributes were identified.
10. Kaul (2007) in a study conducted in the city of Banglore, examined the applicability
of Retail Service Quality Scale (RSQS) developed in the US in India. RSQS has five
dimensions and six sub-dimensions and has been found appropriate in a variety of
settings — across different countries such as South Africa and Singapore and across a
variety of store types such as Supermarkets, Department stores, and Hyper stores. The
five dimensions — Physical Aspects, Reliability, Personal Interaction, Problem
Solving, and Policy are believed to capture distinct though correlated aspects of retail
service. Each of the first three dimensions has two sub-dimensions.
11. Lather and Kaur (2006) in their study on Malls in India analysed the influence of
selected attributes on store patronage for doing shopping. The authors highlighted that
shopper decision on retail format depends upon store characteristics. Keeping these
facts, the researchers had studied the nine characteristics of Malls to elaborate the
enthralling shopping experiences. The study provided academics, Mall developers
and retailers a richer understanding of various components that contribute to malls
experiences. In a study exploring the key factors influencing customer preferences as
applied to the concept of ‘Amul Preferred Outlets’ (which are franchisee run food
retail outlets)
12. Rao and Kapoor (2006) identified 14 variables to study the store choice criteria.
These 14 factors were subject to data reduction through factor analysis that identified
three factors namely: Convenience, Snacks Joint, and Value added services.
13. Sinha, Mathew and Kansal (2005) found that format choice is a cognitive process.
According to them, like any other purchasing decision, format choice is also
information processing behaviour. They emphasized that a store is chosen based on
the confidence that the customer has about the nature and quality of product and
service the consumer will receive. In Indian scenario, formats had been found to be
influencing the choice of store as well as orientation of the shoppers.
14. . Grace and Cass (2004) explored the extent to which patronage intentions of retail
stores are affected by perceived value for money, customer satisfaction and
consumption feelings. In addition, they examined the effect of store service provision
as an antecedent to such consumer evaluations of retail stores.
15. Sinha and Banerjee (2004) found the following factors determining store choice:
proximity, merchandise, ambience, service, and patronized store. They found that for
grocery stores the most important factors are: proximity, visiting the store for many
years, and relationship with retailer.
16. Grewal, Baker, Levy, and Voss (2003) emphasized that many factors, both obvious
and subtle, influence customers’ store patronage intentions. They experimentally
manipulated the number of visible store employees, number of customers, and music
using video technology and tested the relative importance of wait expectations and
store atmosphere evaluations on patronage intentions. These constructs were found to
be critical antecedents of store patronage intentions in the context of the service-
intensive retail store at which the model was tested. They also found support for the
direct effects of gender on wait expectations and store atmosphere evaluations.
17. Voss and Parasuraman (2003) found that the purchase preference is primarily
determined by price rather than quality during pre-purchase evaluation. Their study
found that given explicit quality information, price had no effect on pre-purchase or
post-consumption quality perceptions. Instead, post consumption quality evaluations
had a favorable impact on price evaluations.
18. Solgaard and Hansen (2003) identified several store attributes that were considered
important for the consumer's evaluation of stores. These attributes included
merchandise, assortment, merchandise quality, personnel, store layout, accessibility,
cleanliness and atmosphere.
19. Veerapong and Pitsuwan (2002) examined the attitude and consumer behaviour
toward Supermarkets in Bangkok Metropolitan Areas by surveying 625 respondents,
randomly chosen from within 50 areas in Bangkok using a self-administered
questionnaire. The fundamental outcomes demonstrated that management strategies
for Supermarket-retailing store businesses should be different depending on the type
of Supermarkets.
20. According to Mittal, Ross and Baldasare (1998), the relationship between the
attribute-level performance, overall satisfaction and repurchase intentions is of critical
importance to managers and generally had been conceptualized as linear and
symmetric. The authors investigated the asymmetric and nonlinear nature of the
relationships among these constructs.
21. Dabholkar, Dayle and Joseph (1996) used a hierarchical factor structure to capture
dimensions important to retail customers based on the retail and service quality
literatures as well as three separate qualitative studies. Confirmatory factor analysis
based on the partial disaggregation technique and cross-validation using a second
sample supported the validity of the scale as a measure of retail service quality.
22. Burton, Lichtenstein, Biswas, and Fraccastoro (1994) examined whether information
in an advertisement promoting a price discount is capable of affecting attributions
made about the price reduction and whether these attributions, in turn, affect
consumer perceptions and evaluations of the sale..
23. Bitner (1992) presented a typology of service organizations and a conceptual
framework was advanced for exploring the impact of physical surroundings on the
behaviours of both customers and employees. The ability of the physical surroundings
to facilitate achievement of organizational as well as marketing goals was explored.
The author highlighted key managerial and research implications by examining the
multiple strategic roles that physical surroundings could exert in service organizations
24. Grewal and Sharma (1991) found that sales force behaviour could have a significant
effect on customer satisfaction. They presented a conceptual framework examining
the impact of the sales force policy on customer satisfaction. Within the context of the
framework, it was suggested that salespeople and sales managers could increase
customer satisfaction through adaptive selling behaviour and by developing customer
feedback systems. They emphasized that the determination and improvement of
customer satisfaction should be essential goals of sales force management.
25. Hildebrandt (1988) concluded that the major success factor in the retail industry is
store image and measurement model of store image that conceptualizes the perception
of store image attribute such as price level is used to forecast marketing performance
as a business success measure.
26. Arnold et al. (1983) used consumer cross-shopping data to study food store choice in
developed countries. They found that the following were important food store choice
determinants: Location; Price; Assortment; Fast Check-Out; Friendly and Courteous
Service; Weekly Specials; and Pleasant Shopping Environment
27. Bearden (1977) distinguished seven attributes as potentially significant for store
patronage: price, quality of merchandise, assortment, atmosphere, location, parking
facilities and friendly staff. 7
28. Doyle and Fenwick (1975) found that price, product variety, one-stop shopping,
quality, location of the store, avertisement, general appearance of the store and
convenience are some of major attributes looked upon by the consumers while
evaluating a grocery store.

HISTORY
In 1965, immigration laws in USA were modified and the restrictions on immigrants
were reduced considerably. As a result a lot of Indian professionals migrated for research
opportunities in USA. The IT revolution in USA and the much fancied Silicon Valley in the US
during the 80s and 90s could not have been possible without the work of these migrated Indians.
What this migration did for the Indian IT industry was creating innumerable opportunities in the
USA in the IT sector. Due to the fast growing IT sector in USA, there was a need for IT
professionals outside USA. India had a huge number of educated people and the education in
India being in English, there was a large population of English speaking technically strong
people in India. Hence outsourcing of work started gaining momentum and this led to the huge
boom in the IT sector in India, whose most of the work is exporting software and software
services to the US and other overseas clients.
The Indian economy during this period was completely controlled by the Indian
Government and there were strict restrictions and regulations for private business entities in
India. Hence there was no major growth in the IT sector in India till 1991.
The Indian government had strict control over the private business entities in India before
liberalization of economy in 1991. Moreover, the wide area networks and internet lines were
completely controlled by the central government. As a result, the Indian IT sector was totally
held back due to these restraints on the functioning of the software services providers.
The first major IT reform by the Indian Government was the creation of corporation
called Software Technology Parks of India (STPI). This corporation provided satellite links to
major IT developers enabling them to transmit the work done in India directly abroad. This
reduced the costs incurred to the Indian IT companies as well as helped the clients in US trust
Indian industries and go for outsourcing. Finance minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, introduced the
major economic reforms in 1991 to solve the debt problem created during that time. As per these
economic reforms the internation integration became possible. The huge restrictions on overseas
business were lifted and foreign investments were welcomed. As a result, the IT industry in India
became free and the business of outsourcing would finally gain momentum with more and more
clients and enterprises going for outsourcing of IT. Also, the inception of Windows and other
user friendly operating services made the PC experience even more simple and less time
consuming. Coupled with development of high level programming languages Izon
Technologieslike Basic, C and others, the Indian IT brains had the perfect platform to rise in the
global arena. The Indian IT sector boomed and growed at gain of nearly 50% every year.
Another major event for Indian IT industry post the 1991 reforms was the Y2K bug. Fear
of a complete breakdown of computer services, the US corporations outsourced all the
equipment and upgrading work to Indians. The task of rectifying the Y2K bug was thrown to the
Indians and as a result the modification of all the codes and softwares, which were initially
designed till a date of 1999 was to be edited and huge work was outsourced to the Indian IT
industries. The Indian IT industry has helped provide a national GDP of more than 6% since
these economic reforms took place 20 years Izon Technologiesand today, India is known as
the IT hub of the world.
The New Telecommunications Policy, 1999 (NTP 1999) helped free the
telecommunications sector in India. This helped availability of the infrastructure for the
telecommunication. The satellites, towers and other telecom related businesses were no longer
owned by the Central Government. The entry of private sector in these departments helped the
telecom sector grow rapidly resulting the boom in IT sector in India eventually. The growth of
IT is totally dependent on the innovation and development of telecom industry. The Information
Technology Act 2000 provided legal recognition of the electronic documents, digital signatures,
offences and contraventions. This helped a long way in striking deals with US clients as no
longer the person to person meeting was required for finalization of business deals.
There is a huge hype regarding the salaries of IT professionals in India. One may hear a
salary as low as Rs. 2500 per month to a salary as high as Rs. 1 lakh per month for software
professionals. Hence there is no way there can be a generalisation of the salaries of the IT
professionals. The salaries are dependent on the skills of the professionals, qualification of the
employees and the experience of the employees. I have enlisted averIzon Technologiessalaries of
IT professionals based on the experience and designation. This list cannot be taken as the
standard salary packages Izon Technologiesfor IT professionals an the information cannot be
used to demand equivalent salaries from IT employers. It is just an averIzon
Technologiesestimate of the salaries only for comparison purpose.

SUGGESTIONS
As one of the concerns in customer satisfaction is the price of the product and that the
price of products is believed to be higher than the competitors, the company may make an
attempt to study the price and perceived added value of the product and appropriately
modify the prices or may announce certain discounts and allowances to the tune of the
difference.
Though the customers are aware of the product, they do not perceive that the products is
the best company, hence efforts may be taken to include the image projection of the
company in all its communications.
There appears to be little confusion among the customers that the chemicals used in the
products might affect the drinking water, hence efforts may be taken to make appropriate
changes in the manufacturing process and also in the communications concerning this
image.
As majority said that the supply centers are beyond 5 KM, the company may take steps to
have more supply centers.
As per the demand of the customers, the company must give percentage of discount to all
the customers.
It is suggested to provide some discounts or allowances to the customers those who
bought even less than products.
CONCLUSION
This research articles highlights the satisfaction level of customers towards the IZON
TECHNOLOGIES AT COIMBATORE. Having considered the demographic factors of age,
sex, marital status, educational qualifications and monthly income of 100 respondents, a final
data has been arrived and it point out that there is a medium level of satisfaction on the
customers’ side.
With factors like employee behavior, company performance affecting the level of customer
satisfaction, the IZON TECHNOLOGIES has to implement prompt customer friendly schemes
portfolios as an initiative go. These would thereby go a long way to enhance the level of
customers’ satisfaction thereby rectifying customer worries and alleviate the number of
customers as well. Perhaps this would definitely lead to a flourishing economy, since customer
satisfaction is the pivot of a successful industry structure.
