ABSTRACT
This study is an investigation of the Consumer Decision making styles
among Graduates, Student of BIMTECH business school in India. The
model of consumer style inventory as suggested by Sproles & Kendall
has been tested to validate the basic characteristic of these styles among
young Indian adults, the results of factor analysis suggest that seven
decision making styles are grouped in 6 factor structure, while the 7
decision making styles validated are
1) Perfectionism and high quality consciousness
2) Brand consciousness and price equals quality
3) Novelty & fashion consciousness
4) Recreational & hedonistic shopping consciousness
5) Impulsiveness & carelessness
6) Confused by over choice
7) Habitual & brand loyal orientation
However one decision making style namely price, consciousness and
value for money was not confirmed in the data the findings of the
present study will help the marketing manager to
Understand the use of in Consumer Decision Making Styles
So that they can frame their marketing strategies accordingly.
INTRODUCTION
Communication is one of the most talked topics in today’s business
world. Among the different modes of communication, mobile phone is
becoming reliable and efficient vehicle to reach from one person to
another. This is the prevailing device through which we can now
express ourselves, get our work done and share our joys and hurts.
This picture was not seen almost two decades back when most of the
people of this country were solely dependent on telegraph. It was early
nineties, the mobile phone handset first launched in India with a very
small number of penetration rate. At that time very few people were
able to afford mobile phone as they faced different sorts of barriers.
In 1997, Nokia started its operation in this country and presently
operating a number of selling points in India. Siemens and Samsung
started their operation after launching it. In this modern era, a wide
variety of other services such as email, text messaging, MMS, internet
access, audio and video, short range wireless communications
(Inferred, Bluetooth), gaming etc. are also supported by the mobile
phones. In addition to these, it also offers more general computing
capabilities that are referred to smart phone.
In India many mobile phone brands are available e.g. Nokia, Samsung,
Sony, HTC, Panasonic, Motorola, LG, Symphony, Micromax, Walton
etc. and consumer choose their preferred mobile phone from this pool.
This study has been designed with intention to identify the factors
affecting customers to choose their mobile phone. It focuses on
probable reason that the customers consider to make their purchase
decision regarding mobile phone.
LITERATURE REVIEW
There are many social and interpersonal factors that influence
customers to decide about any product and so happen in mobile phone
also. Consumer behaviour is affected by a lots of variables, ranging
from personal motivations, needs, attitudes and values, personality
characteristics, socio-economic and cultural background, age, sex,
professional status to social influences of various kinds exerted by
family, friends, colleagues and society as a whole.
Liu (2002) in a recent paper analysed factors affecting the decision
regarding brand in the mobile phone industry in Asia. It was found
that the choice of a mobile phone is characterized by two distinct
attitudes towards brands: attitudes towards the mobile phone brand
and attitudes towards the network. Customers’ choice of mobile
phone brand is affected largely by new features more than size. This
trend of choosing is definitely towards phones with better capacity
and larger screens.
Consumer decision making relates to the following consumer
characteristics as confirmed by a framework developed by Sproles
and Kendall.
1) Innovation conscious consumer – a characteristic identifying
consumers who appear like new and innovative products and gain
excitement from seeking out new things
2) Recreational, hedonistic consumer – a characteristic measuring
the degree to which a consumer finds shopping a pleasant activity and
shops just for the fun of it
3) Price conscious consumer – a characteristic identifying those with
particularly high consciousness of sale prices and lower prices in
general
4) Impulsive, careless consumer – identifying those who tend to buy
on the spur of the moment and appear unconcerned how much they
spend or getting “best buys”
5) Confused by over choice consumer – a characteristic identifying
those consumers who perceive too many brands and stores from which
to choose, experiencing information overload in the market
6) Habitual, brand-loyal consumer – a characteristic indicating
consumers who have favourite brands and stores, who have formed
habits in choosing these repetitively.
7) High quality consciousness – a characteristic identifying those
with particularly high consciousness of high quality and efficient
mobiles.
8) Utilitarian consumer –a characteristic indicating how consumers
buy there mobiles based on their requirement rather than what mobile
companies offer.

SPSS Factor analysis:
Factor Analysis is a commonly used data/ variable reduction technique.
This multivariate statistical technique is used for three primary reasons:
¡ Reduce the number of variables, from large to small
¡ Establish underlying dimensions between measured variables
and constructs and
¡ Provide construct validity evidence
Some of the points, of Factor Analysis, discussed in class include the
types of factor analysis, i.e, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). As the names suggest, EFA is
used where the study is being conducted with no pre-conceived theories
or expectations while CFA is used where the study is being conducted
to test a proposed theory.
While the uses of Factor Analysis including a) interdependency and
pattern delineation; b) data reduction; c) structure; d) classification; e)
scaling; and f) hypothesis testing, have been discussed in detail in the
class, one aspect in Factor Analysis that needs mention in detail
includes KMO & Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity.
KMO & Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity is a measure of sampling
adequacy that is recommended to check the case to variable ratio for
the analysis being conducted. In most academic and business studies,
KMO & Bartlett’s test play an important role for accepting the sample
adequacy. While the KMO ranges from 0 to 1, the world-over accepted
index is over 0.6. Also, the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity relates to the
significance of the study and thereby shows the validity and suitability
of the responses collected to the problem being addressed through the
study. For Factor Analysis to be recommended suitable, the Bartlett’s
Test of Sphericity must be less than 0.05.

Communalities
The output shows the table of communalities before and after extraction.
Principal component analysis works on the initial assumption that all variance is
common; therefore, before extraction the communalities are all 1. The
communalities in the column labelled Extraction reflect the common variance in
the data structure. So we can say that 57.5% of the variance associated with
question 1.1 is common or shared, variance. The amount of variance in each
variable that can be explained by the retained factors is represented by the
communalities after extraction. Ideal extracted values should be above 0.5.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
Total variance Explained:
Before extraction, SPSS has identified 22 linear components within
the data set. SPSS extracts all factors with Eigen values greater than
one, which leaves us with 7 factors.
In the final part of the table labelled Rotation Sum of Squared
Loadings, the eigen values of the factors after rotation are displayed.
Rotation has the factor of optimizing the factor structure and one
consequence for these data is that the relative importance of the 7
factors is equalized. Before rotation factor 1 accounted for
considerably more variance than the remaining 6 (17.285%
compared to 12.881, 10.126% etc), however after extraction it
accounts for only 12.208% of variance (compared to 9.811%,
9.659% etc).
On the first run of factor analysis we got 14 factors and were
optimised to 7 factors.
Rotated Component Matrix:
Another important aspect that needs mention is the Rotated
Component Matrix. While deciding how many factors one would
analyze is whether a variable might relate to more than one factor.
Rotation maximizes high item loadings and minimizes low item
loadings, thereby producing a more interpretable and simplified
solution. There are two common rotation techniques - orthogonal
rotation and oblique rotation. While orthogonal varimax rotation that
produces factor structures that are uncorrelated, oblique rotation
produces factors that are correlated. Irrespective of the rotation
method used, the primary objectives are to provide easier
interpretation of results, and produce a solution that is more
parsimonious.

MATERIAL AND METHOD
This study was conducted to know the factors affect people decisions
of mobile phone purchasing. Primary and secondary data were
collected from appropriate sources for collecting data. A structured
questionnaire will be used to collect the opinions of respondents. To
select the respondents, convenience sampling method was used. In our
project we shall critically analyse the impact of all these factors on the
consumer buying behaviour for mobile phones.
Sample Size: The analysis is done on an approximate sample size of
200 responses.
Sample Selection: The sample will mainly consist the students of
BIMTECH.
Primary Data Collection Procedure: Data for the analysis will be
collected through online and offline surveys.
CONCLUSION
From the factorial analysis we have classified consumer decision
making style into seven factors which influence the consumer
decision making style in mobile purchases.
Factors are:
1) style preference consumer (2.1,2.2)
2) Recreational, hedonistic consumer (5.3,5.4,5.5)
3) Price conscious consumer (3.3,3.4,3.5)
4) Impulsive, careless consumer (3.7,3.9,4.3,4.6)
5) Confused by over choice consumer (7.1,7.2,7.3,7.4)
6) Habitual, brand-loyal consumer.(1.1,1.2,1.3)
7) High quality consciousness (3.2,3.6,8.3)

  • 3. INTRODUCTION Communication is one of the most talked topics in today’s business world. Among the different modes of communication, mobile phone is becoming reliable and efficient vehicle to reach from one person to another. This is the prevailing device through which we can now express ourselves, get our work done and share our joys and hurts. This picture was not seen almost two decades back when most of the people of this country were solely dependent on telegraph. It was early nineties, the mobile phone handset first launched in India with a very small number of penetration rate. At that time very few people were able to afford mobile phone as they faced different sorts of barriers. In 1997, Nokia started its operation in this country and presently operating a number of selling points in India. Siemens and Samsung started their operation after launching it. In this modern era, a wide variety of other services such as email, text messaging, MMS, internet access, audio and video, short range wireless communications (Inferred, Bluetooth), gaming etc. are also supported by the mobile phones. In addition to these, it also offers more general computing capabilities that are referred to smart phone. In India many mobile phone brands are available e.g. Nokia, Samsung, Sony, HTC, Panasonic, Motorola, LG, Symphony, Micromax, Walton etc. and consumer choose their preferred mobile phone from this pool. This study has been designed with intention to identify the factors affecting customers to choose their mobile phone. It focuses on probable reason that the customers consider to make their purchase decision regarding mobile phone.
  • 4. LITERATURE REVIEW There are many social and interpersonal factors that influence customers to decide about any product and so happen in mobile phone also. Consumer behaviour is affected by a lots of variables, ranging from personal motivations, needs, attitudes and values, personality characteristics, socio-economic and cultural background, age, sex, professional status to social influences of various kinds exerted by family, friends, colleagues and society as a whole. Liu (2002) in a recent paper analysed factors affecting the decision regarding brand in the mobile phone industry in Asia. It was found that the choice of a mobile phone is characterized by two distinct attitudes towards brands: attitudes towards the mobile phone brand and attitudes towards the network. Customers’ choice of mobile phone brand is affected largely by new features more than size. This trend of choosing is definitely towards phones with better capacity and larger screens. Consumer decision making relates to the following consumer characteristics as confirmed by a framework developed by Sproles and Kendall.
  • 5. 1) Innovation conscious consumer – a characteristic identifying consumers who appear like new and innovative products and gain excitement from seeking out new things 2) Recreational, hedonistic consumer – a characteristic measuring the degree to which a consumer finds shopping a pleasant activity and shops just for the fun of it 3) Price conscious consumer – a characteristic identifying those with particularly high consciousness of sale prices and lower prices in general 4) Impulsive, careless consumer – identifying those who tend to buy on the spur of the moment and appear unconcerned how much they spend or getting “best buys” 5) Confused by over choice consumer – a characteristic identifying those consumers who perceive too many brands and stores from which to choose, experiencing information overload in the market 6) Habitual, brand-loyal consumer – a characteristic indicating consumers who have favourite brands and stores, who have formed habits in choosing these repetitively. 7) High quality consciousness – a characteristic identifying those with particularly high consciousness of high quality and efficient mobiles. 8) Utilitarian consumer –a characteristic indicating how consumers buy there mobiles based on their requirement rather than what mobile companies offer.

  • 10. Objectives:  To find the major factors influencing the consumer decision making style in mobile purchases  To find the major factors influencing the socialisation of consumers in mobile purchases  To find the major factors influencing the materialization of consumers in mobile purchases SPSS Factor analysis: Factor Analysis is a commonly used data/ variable reduction technique. This multivariate statistical technique is used for three primary reasons: ¡ Reduce the number of variables, from large to small ¡ Establish underlying dimensions between measured variables and constructs and ¡ Provide construct validity evidence Some of the points, of Factor Analysis, discussed in class include the types of factor analysis, i.e, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). As the names suggest, EFA is used where the study is being conducted with no pre-conceived theories or expectations while CFA is used where the study is being conducted to test a proposed theory. While the uses of Factor Analysis including a) interdependency and pattern delineation; b) data reduction; c) structure; d) classification; e) scaling; and f) hypothesis testing, have been discussed in detail in the class, one aspect in Factor Analysis that needs mention in detail includes KMO & Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. KMO & Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity is a measure of sampling adequacy that is recommended to check the case to variable ratio for
  • 11. the analysis being conducted. In most academic and business studies, KMO & Bartlett’s test play an important role for accepting the sample adequacy. While the KMO ranges from 0 to 1, the world-over accepted index is over 0.6. Also, the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity relates to the significance of the study and thereby shows the validity and suitability of the responses collected to the problem being addressed through the study. For Factor Analysis to be recommended suitable, the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity must be less than 0.05. Consumer Decision Making Style questions from questionnaire are 1.1 to 8.3 Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy. .717 Bartlett's Test of Sphericity Approx.

  • 12. Communalities The output shows the table of communalities before and after extraction. Principal component analysis works on the initial assumption that all variance is common; therefore, before extraction the communalities are all 1. The communalities in the column labelled Extraction reflect the common variance in the data structure. So we can say that 57.5% of the variance associated with question 1.1 is common or shared, variance. The amount of variance in each variable that can be explained by the retained factors is represented by the communalities after extraction. Ideal extracted values should be above 0.5.

  • 14. Total variance Explained: Before extraction, SPSS has identified 22 linear components within the data set. SPSS extracts all factors with Eigen values greater than one, which leaves us with 7 factors. In the final part of the table labelled Rotation Sum of Squared Loadings, the eigen values of the factors after rotation are displayed. Rotation has the factor of optimizing the factor structure and one consequence for these data is that the relative importance of the 7 factors is equalized. Before rotation factor 1 accounted for considerably more variance than the remaining 6 (17.285% compared to 12.881, 10.126% etc), however after extraction it accounts for only 12.208% of variance (compared to 9.811%, 9.659% etc). On the first run of factor analysis we got 14 factors and were optimised to 7 factors.
  • 15. Rotated Component Matrix: Another important aspect that needs mention is the Rotated Component Matrix. While deciding how many factors one would analyze is whether a variable might relate to more than one factor. Rotation maximizes high item loadings and minimizes low item loadings, thereby producing a more interpretable and simplified solution. There are two common rotation techniques - orthogonal rotation and oblique rotation. While orthogonal varimax rotation that produces factor structures that are uncorrelated, oblique rotation produces factors that are correlated. Irrespective of the rotation method used, the primary objectives are to provide easier interpretation of results, and produce a solution that is more parsimonious.

Primary and secondary data were collected from appropriate sources for collecting data. A structured questionnaire will be used to collect the opinions of respondents. To select the respondents, convenience sampling method was used. In our project we shall critically analyse the impact of all these factors on the consumer buying behaviour for mobile phones. Sample Size: The analysis is done on an approximate sample size of 200 responses. Sample Selection: The sample will mainly consist the students of BIMTECH. Primary Data Collection Procedure: Data for the analysis will be collected through online and offline surveys.
  • 27. CONCLUSION From the factorial analysis we have classified consumer decision making style into seven factors which influence the consumer decision making style in mobile purchases. Factors are: 1) style preference consumer (2.1,2.2) 2) Recreational, hedonistic consumer (5.3,5.4,5.5) 3) Price conscious consumer (3.3,3.4,3.5) 4) Impulsive, careless consumer (3.7,3.9,4.3,4.6) 5) Confused by over choice consumer (7.1,7.2,7.3,7.4) 6) Habitual, brand-loyal consumer.(1.1,1.2,1.3) 7) High quality consciousness (3.2,3.6,8.3) Similarly, we have classified socialisation influence in consumer decision making style of mobile phones into six factors Factor-1 (9.10,9.11,9.12,9.13,9.14) Factor -2 (9.6,9.7,9.8,9.9) Factor-3 (9.2,9.3,9.4,9.5) Factor-4 (9.15,9.16,9.17) Factor-5 (9.20,9.22,9.23) Factor-6 (9.24,9.25,9.27) Similarly, we have classified materialism influence in consumer decision making style of mobile phones into 3 factors Factor-1 high in materialism (10.3,10.4,10.5) Factor-2 low in materialism (10.7,10.8,10.9) Factor-3 Desire of materialism (10.6)
