Emerging markets such as India and China are the final frontier for retail
taking the focus away from saturated Western markets. Since 2001, 49
global retailers entered 90 new markets, but at the same time, 17 retailers
left markets in 2005.
The Indian retail industry in valued at about $300 billion and is expected to
grow to $427 billion in 2010 and $637 billion in 2015. Only three percent
of Indian retail is organised. Retailers of multiple brands can operate
through a franchise or a cash-and-carry wholesale model.
Retail is India’s largest industry, accounting for over 10 percent of the
country’s GDP and around eight percent of employment. Retail in India is
at the crossroads. It has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast paced
industries with several players entering the market. That said, the heavy
initial investments required make break even hard to achieve and many
players have not tasted success to date. However, the future is promising;
the market is growing, government policies are becoming more favourable
and emerging technologies are facilitating operations.
Retailing in India is gradually inching its way to becoming the next boom
industry. The whole concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and
consumer buying behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping. Modern
retail has entered India as seen in sprawling shopping centres, multi-
storeyed malls and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food
all under one roof.

REVIEW
Customer Satisfaction
What is the connection between customer satisfaction and the bottom line?
Ever wondered how much customer satisfaction is worth? We all know and
Accept that it is a strategic goal for all organizations involved in the delivery of
customer service. Yet in all my experience as a professional in this arena,
I have never come across a customer services director who could articulate the
financial value of customer satisfaction to their business. Conversely, I have
Never met a customer service Director Who wasn’t measured on it. How Bizarre.
Big business is happy to measure it but doesn’t know what its worth.
One of the reasons for the difficulty in making the connections is the Intangibility of
customer churn. That is to say, how dissatisfied does a
Customers have to be before they leave and sign with the competition? What
Might be an intolerable experience for one customer may well exceed all
expectations of another. Then there’s competition. What if there isn’t any?
Before deregulation how concerned were the large utility companies with
Customer satisfaction or British Telecom comes to that. Interesting therefore
That the telecoms sector is where war is being waged on customer
Satisfaction could it that be high customer satisfaction attracts new customers and
helps retain existing ones? Sounds like that could be worth something.
Is measurement so essential?
As a student I opened my first bank as an adult with a major high street Bank.
They attracted me with their offer of a $ 10 deposit to the account. I Stayed with
them through the four years of university, through the gradually
Increasing overdraft, the unintentional forays beyond the overdraft limit, the lost
ATM cards, the replacement cheque books, the minimal deposits, the regular and
very small withdrawals. Except for the penalty charges for the
Overdraft excursions the bank made very little money out of me, and in fact
incurred untold cost in maintaining me as a student customer.
All that effort, clearly with the goal of keeping me in my earning years and reaping
back their investment. In fact I felt consciously loyal to them at that point and even
recognize that it was my turn to pay them back. So why was their customer service
so poor once I became a full-time employee? I stayed with them for several years
using them for mortgage service, investment and insurances but eventually churned
to one of the first telephone banks. I have been with them a few years now and every
time I phone them they are aware of my recent communications with them, request
that I have made and they don’t try to sell an unwanted insurance policy at the end of
every call.
Ten Basic Rules for Customer Satisfaction
1. Involve top management.

becomes a major limitation.

and completion of study.
4. The scope of study is restricted only to the twin cities of Hyderabad and
