    INTRODUCTION

    Most companies pay more attention to their market share than to their customers’ satisfaction.

    This is a mistake. Market share is a backward-looking metric; customer satisfaction is a

    forward-looking metric. If customer satisfaction starts slipping, then market share erosion

    will soon follow. Companies need to monitor and improve the level of customer satisfaction.

    The higher the customer satisfaction, the higher the retention. Here are four facts:

    1.  Acquiring new customers can cost 5 to 10 times more than the costs involved in satisfyingand retaining current customers.

    2.  The average company loses between 10 and 30% of its customers each year.3.  A 5% reduction in the customer defection rate can increase profits by 25 to 85%, depending

    on the industry.

    4.  The customer  profit rate tends to increase over the life of the retained customer.One company bragged that 80% of its customers are satisfied or highly satisfied. This

    sounded pretty good until it learned that its leading competitor attained a 90% customer

    satisfaction score. The company was further dismayed to learn that this competitor was

    aiming for a 95% satisfaction score.

    Companies that achieve a high satisfaction score should advertise it. J. D. Powers gave the

    Honda Accord the number one rating in customer satisfaction for several years, and this

    helped sell more Accords. LG achieved the highest satisfaction ratings for its LED TVs

    service and advertised this in its ads, giving prospects confidence that they could trust

    ordering a LG LED TVs sight unseen from LG. The importance of aiming for high customer

    satisfaction is underscored in company ads. Honda says: “One reason our customers are so

    satisfied is that we aren’t.” Cigna advertises, “We’ll never be 100% satisfied until you

    are, too.” But don’t make too big a claim. Holiday Inns ran a campaign a fe w years ago that

     promised ―No Surprises.‖ Guest complaints were so high that the slogan ―No Surprises‖ wasmocked, and Holiday Inn quickly canceled this slogan.

    Customer satisfaction is a necessary but not sufficient goal. Customer satisfaction only

    weakly predicts customer retention in highly competitive markets. Companies regularly lose

    some percentage of their satisfied customers. Companies need to focus on customer retention.

    But even retention can be misleading, as when it is based on habit or an absence of alternative

    suppliers. A company needs to aim for a high level of  customer loyalty or commitment.

    Loyal packaged-goods customers, for example, generally pay seven to 10% more than non-

    loyal customers.

    COMPANY PROFILE

    LG Electronics is a South Korean multinational electronics company headquartered in Yeouido-

    dong, Seoul, and a member of the LG Group. The company operates its business through five divisions: Mobile

    Communications, Home Entertainment, Home Appliances, Air Conditioning, and Energy Solutions. It is the

    world's second-largest television manufacturer (after  Samsung and Hitachi), and the world's fifth-largest mobile

     phone maker by unit sales in the second quarter of 2012.

    LG Corporation:

    LG Corp. founder Koo In-Hwoi established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947. In 1952, Lak-

    Hui (pronounced "Lucky", currently LG Chem) became the first Korean company to enter the plastic industry.

    As the company expanded its plastic business, it established GoldStar Co. Ltd. (currently LG Electronics Inc.) in

    1958. Both companies Lucky and GoldStar merged and formed Lucky-Goldstar.

    GoldStar produced South Korea's first radio. Many consumer electronics were sold under the brand

    name GoldStar, while some other household products (not available outside South Korea) were sold under the

     brand name of Lucky. The Lucky brand was famous for hygiene products such as soaps and HiTi laundry

    detergents, but the brand was mostly associated with its Lucky and Perioe toothpaste. Even today, LG continues

    to manufacture some of these products for the South Korean market, such as laundry detergent.

    In 1995, to compete better in the Western market, the Lucky-Goldstar Corporation was renamed "LG".

    The company also associates the letters LG with the company's tagline "Life's Good", which is actually

    a backronym. Since 2009, LG has owned the domain name LG.com.

    In 1996 LG formed a joint venture with IBM; it was later terminated.

    On 1 April 2000, LG Chemical was split into three separate companies, namely LGCI, LG Chem, and

    LG Household & Health Care. Later, in July 2007, LG Chem merged with LG Petrochemical.

    Since 2001, LG has two joint ventures with Royal Philips Electronics: LG Philips Display and LG

    Philips LCD, but Philips sold off its shares in late 2008.[6]

     In 2005, LG entered into a joint venture with Nortel

     Networks, creating LG-Nortel Co. Ltd.

    On November 30th 2012, comScore released a report of the October 2012 U.S. Mobile Subscriber

    Market Share that found LG lost its place as second in the U.S mobile market share to Apple Inc. 

    On 20 January 2013, Counterpoint Research announced that LG has overtaken Apple to become

    second largest in US. market share.

    On August 7th 2013, comScore released a report of the June 2013 U.S. Smartphone Subscriber MarketShare that found LG fell to fifth place in the U.S mobile market share.

    LG has owned the LG Twins baseball club in Seoul, South Korea, since 1989.

    The company logo of LG features a circle containing the letters "L" and "G", presented in the form of a

    smiling human face.

    History of LG Electronics

    The company was originally established in 1958 as  GoldStar,  producing radios, TVs, refrigerators,

    washing machines, and air conditioners.[4]

     The company has received some technical supports from Hitachi for

    many years, so it has a deep relation with Hitachi. The LG Group was formed through the merger of two Korean

    companies, Lucky and GoldStar, from which the abbreviation of  LG was derived. The current "Life's Good"

    experience forever. Designed

    and sound. Packed withfeatures like Robust IPS

    Panel, USB Connectivity,

    Lightening Protection,

    Summer Heat Protection &

    Humid Protection, it also

    saves power up to 60%.

    IPS Panel: The secret behind LG TV’s life-like color and wide viewing angle is the panel.

    Just as the quality of the beans determines the quality of the coffee, the quality of the panel

    determines the quality of the TV. The IPS Panel used by LG is the reason why LG LED TVs

    have clearer, more consistent and sturdy screens.

    Life-like Color:  IPS offers a color impression that is most identical to that of the original

    image. The colors are truly closest to nature and most comfortable for the eyes.

    Wide Viewing Angle:  Among LCD panels, it is visibly clear that IPS shows the most

    consistent color and contrast from all angles. Free from color wash and contrast loss, it is the

    ideal panel for all purposes.

    Blur-free Clarity:  IPS is decidedly superior to the competing panels in the clarity of its

     pictures during fast motion display, allowing blur-free, crystal-clear pictures.

    Stable Screen: IPS panels are stable and sturdy, and resistant to damage, as opposed to weak

    competing panels; just try a simple knock or poke at the screens to see for you. All Round

    Protection: LG TVs are equipped with All round protection with a Robust IPS Panel,

    Lightening Protection, Summer Heat Protection, Humidity Protection & Works without

    Stabilizer.

    Robust IPS Panels (In Select models): LG TVs come with IPS Panel that is known for its

    Robust and Sturdy design. These panels are more resistant to high temperature and pressure

    as compare to conventional VA panels.

    Works without stabilizer:  LG TVs Can safely operate in wide range power supply

    conditions (100~240V AC, 50~60Hz).

    Lightening Protection: LG TVs come equipped with 500V Cap, Fuse, Arrestor, Hermiston

    and Isolator for protection against unexpected lightening surge. Summer Heat & Humidity

    Protection LG TV are designed and tested thoroughly to safely operate in Indian Tropical

    conditions

    Smart Energy Saving: The Smart Energy Saving feature helps users to be a little greener by

    limiting power consumption. The feature includes backlight control for adjusting brightness,

    a screen-off function that turns the picture off for playing audio-only, and the Standby Mode

    Zero function which allows the TV to effectively hibernate, using zero electricity.

    MCI 100: Motion Clarity Index, the maximum number of response signals per second, is a

    comprehensive indicator of the genuine clarity of fast motion display, incorporating factors

     beyond mere frame rates. LG’s detailed backlight scanning, advanced panel technology and

     powerful engine all add to a superb performance in reducing blur in fast-moving pictures.

    USB Movie:  Simply connect your USB or external hard drive to the USB port to play its

    contents on your TV screen.

    THX Certification: 

    First let’s start with what THX is. You’ve probably been in a movie theater when, suddenly, a

    huge THX logo appeared on the screen — accompanied by a sound

    that raised the hairs on the back of your neck. Well, just as THX has

    always been synonymous with amazing cinematic sound, it now

    also represents the benchmark for image quality in HDTVs.

    Achieving THX Certification is no easy task. Before the TV even

    hits the shelves, THX conducts 200 tests covering over 400 data

     points. The cinematic experts at THX analyze every aspect of a TV’s picture quality— 

    including brightness, contrast, color accuracy and off-angle viewing performance. Based on

    their findings, we further enhance the image quality until it meets THX standards. Only then

    can the TV bear the mark of THX Certification.

    THEORITICAL BACGROUND OF

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION 

    Definitions:According to Philip Kotler, “satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pressure or  

    disappointment resulting from product’s perceived performance (outcome) in  relation to his

    or her expectations. Customer satisfaction is the level of a person’s felt state resulting from

    comparing a product’s perceived performance  (outcome) in relation to the person’s

    expectations‖. 

    Introduction:

    Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing,  is a measure of how productsand services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. Customer

    satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose

    reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds

    specified satisfaction goals." In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent

    responded that they found a customer satisfaction metric very useful in managing and

    monitoring their businesses.

    It is seen as a  key performance indicator within business and is often part of a BalancedScorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer

    satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element of

     business strategy.

    "Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects. They focus

    employees on the importance of fulfilling customers’ expectations. Furthermore, when these

    ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and profitability. . . . These metrics

    quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal customers, it gains positive word-of-

    mouth marketing, which is both free and highly effective."

    Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage customer satisfaction. To be

    able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of satisfaction.

    "In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service

    has met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction.

    When customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed

    and will likely rate their experience as less than satisfying. For this reason, a luxury resort, for

    example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a budget motel — even though its

    facilities and service would be deemed superior in 'absolute' terms."

    The importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased  bargaining

     power. For example, skin care providers, such as Fair & Lovely and Garnier, participate in an

    industry that is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain product or service exist.

    As such, many skin care products have a lot of  fine print with provisions that they would

    never get away if there were, say, a hundred skin care products providers, because customer

    satisfaction would be far too low, and customers would easily have the option of leaving for a

     better contract offer.

    There is a substantial body of empirical literature that establishes the benefits of customer

    satisfaction for firms.

    Purpose of Customer Satisfaction:

    "Customer satisfaction provides a leading indicator of consumer purchase intentions and

    loyalty." "Customer satisfaction data

    are among the most frequently

    collected indicators of market

     perceptions. Their principal use is

    twofold:"

    1.  "Within organizations, thecollection, analysis and

    dissemination of these data

    send a message about the

    importance of tending to

    customers and ensuring that they have a positive experience with the company’s

    goods and services."

    2.  "Although sales or market share can indicate how well a firm is performing currently,satisfaction is perhaps the best indicator of how likely it is that the firm’s customers

    will make further purchases in the future. Much research has focused on the

    relationship between customer satisfaction and retention. Studies indicate that the

    ramifications of satisfaction are most strongly realized at the extremes." On a five-

     point scale, "individuals who rate their satisfaction level as '5' are likely to become

    return customers and might even evangelize for the firm. (A second important metric

    related to satisfaction is willingness to recommend. This metric is defined as "The

    THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS

    Successful quality improvement and customer satisfaction initiatives are the result of a

     process, not a program. A program has a beginning and an end, whereas a process is usually

    continuous. The concept of total quality management is based on continuous improvement

    driven by customer satisfaction requirements.

    In fact, the criteria for the MBNQA represent just such a model. The importance of the award

    is not winning it or even applying for it. What makes the MBNQA unique is its congruity

    with the major concepts of quality improvement and its process-based approach to total

    quality driven by customer satisfaction, with strong linkage between quality results and

    operating results (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 1991). The MBNQA

    criteria link the economic and organizational benefits of internal process improvement with

    the requirements of the external customer to improve market share and revenue performance.

    This powerful combination adds value to all aspects of a company's activities.

    Exhibit 1-1 outlines the seven MBNQA categories and their relative importance. Category 7,

    customer satisfaction, carries the greatest weight and provides significant support to all other

    categories. Customer satisfaction information provides performance measures for the key

     processes of the organization.

    The first step in gaining control over quality and customer satisfaction in your business is to

    understand the concept of process. A process is simply a series of events that yield an

    outcome; coupled with a feedback loop, it becomes a continuous process. Quality

    improvement and customer satisfaction are continuous processes.

    It is process, not product or service, which drives quality and competitiveness. Everything we

    sell is directly related to the process we use. To attain quality improvements, it is necessary to

    understand our processes and continually to investigate ways of improving these processes.

    With the understanding of our processes, we begin to identify overlaps, redundancies, and

    gaps. This knowledge, together with the understanding of our customers' requirements and

    expectations, allows us to improve our processes on a continuous basis. There are several

    valuable yet simple techniques for mapping, understanding, and improving processes, which

    will be discussed later.

    The intent of process improvement is to change our simple definition of a series of events

    that produce an outcome to a planned series of events that yield a predictable, desired

    outcome. Note the addition of the three key words, planned, predictable, and desired. We

    need all three conditions to be successful. A planned, predictable, and desired process

    outcome will go a long way toward transforming an organization into one that will be

    structured to respond to the needs of customers in a superior way.

    Traditionally, many companies have determined what was important to them in terms of

    internal performance and then gone out to ask their customers how well they were performing

    in these areas. Regrettably, these companies frequently were not measuring what was

    important to the customer, only what was important to the companies.

    Customers have an entirely different view of your organization than you have, and the things

    that are important to you may not matter at all to them. Because it is customers who keep you

    in business, it's important that you measure what is important to them, not you.

    Successful customer satisfaction activities are outwardly focused and driven by the customer.

    This customer-driven approach allows the organization to adjust existing processes or create

    new processes to better satisfy customer requirements.

    The challenge in customer satisfaction management and quality improvement is to identify

    and listen to the voice of the customer and then translate that voice into process

    improvements. How to best hear the voice of the customer and act on it is a process in itself.

    This book provides a proved conceptual model (Exhibit 1-2) and explains how to implement

    the model and make it work for you.

    Throughout the remainder of the book, we will define each of the steps in the customer

    satisfaction management process. In essence, the model provides the framework for the

    following:

      Define clear objectives as to how the information will be used to improvecustomer satisfaction.

      Identify customer and employee perceptions of quality and satisfaction.  Measure the relative importance of customer requirements.  Benchmark performance on these attributes.  Assess employees' perceptions of the organization's ability to deliver quality

    and satisfaction.

      Deploy those customer requirements throughout the organization to allowvarious functions to work as teams in improving processes.

      Provide feedback measurement of performance improvement over time, plusmonitoring of critical issues.

    Dept. of Mgmt, Page - 25

    Each of these phases of the comprehensive management process is summarized on the

    following pages.

    IMPORTANCE

    The objectives-setting phase of the process provides the necessary opportunity for leaders inthe organization to understand how the process works. It assists them in defining what their

    information needs are and how the information from customers will be used.

    For the customer satisfaction management process to be successful, functional leaders need to

     be willing to take ownership of the results of the research. This ensures that the process

    improvement teams representing various functions will be as effective as possible in their

    work.

    The objectives-setting phase also provides the environment to link customer satisfaction

    activities with any existing quality improvement initiatives. Quality improvement should be

    an integrated system of specific improvement processes rather than a series of unrelated ad

    hoc tasks or programs.

    Expectations and Customer Satisfaction

    Expectations are beliefs (likelihood or probability) that a product/service (containing

    certain attributes, features or characteristics) will produce certain outcomes (benefits-values)

    given certain anticipated levels of performance based on previous affective, cognitive, and

     behavioral experiences. Expectations are often seen as related to satisfaction and can be

    measured as follows:

      Importance: Value of the product/service fulfilling the expectation.  Overall Affect-Satisfaction Expectations: Like / Dislike of the product/service.  Fulfillment of Expectation: The expected level of performance vs. the desired

    expectations. This is ―Predictive Fulfillment‖ and is a respondent-specific index of the

     performance level necessary to satisfy.

      Expected Value from Use: Satisfaction is often determined by the frequency of use.If a product/service is not used as often as expected, the result may not be as

    satisfying as anticipated. For example a motorcycle that sits in the garage, an unused

    year subscription to the local fitness center/gym, or a little used season pass to a ski

    resort would produce more dissatisfaction with the decision to purchase than with the

    actual product/service.

    containing question relating to certain specific aspects, regarding which the researches collect

    the data. The questionnaire is given to the respondents to be filled up.

    85 questionnaires were distributed among customers out of whom only 45 customers

    are the users of LG LED TVs. Therefore only 45 questionnaires were considered for

    analyzing and interpretation.

    SAMPLE SIZE:

    45 customers were surveyed during the study period

    SAMPLING UNITS:

    The sampling units are customers of LG LED TVs.

    METHOD OF SAMPLING:

    Only non-probability sampling is adopted. Non-sampling methods are those, which do

    not provide every item in the universe with a known chance of being included in the sample.

    The selection process is partially subjective. In non-probability sampling, Quota sampling

    method is used.

    QUOTA SAMPLING:

    In quota sampling the selection of the sample is made by the interviewer, who has

     been given quotas to fill from specified sub-groups of the population.

    The targeted group is on customers of Sherwin Williams paints only not that to any

    customers who purchase paints.

    They are similarities with stratified sampling, but in quota sampling the selection of

    the sample is non-random. Anyone who has had the experience of trying to interview people

    in the street knows how tempting it is to ask those who look most helpful, hence it is not the

    most representative of samples, but extremely useful.

    TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS: 

    The tool used for the purpose of analysis is percentage method. 

    PERCENTAGE METHOD:

    Percentage method refers to a special kind of rates. Percentage method used in

    making comparison between two or more series of data.

    Percentage= No. of respondents x 100

      The study is restricted to only Kurnool city. So we cannot say the overall informationof LG Customers Satisfaction.

      Time factor is the main limitation for the study.  The research has been centered to only 45 customers rather than millions. Customers

    around the world.

      Some of the consumers are not interested to give the accurate information about theirLG LED TV. So information might be biased.

      The suggestions drawn are subjected to the information provided by the various buyers contacted.
