Organizational progress is an outcome of mainly human and physical resources of the operation.
Sufficient progress has been made in the sphere of physical input such as capital and technology.
Despite rapid development in technology the desired level of economic development and social
welfare are yet to be achieved. One of the main causes of failure has been underutilization of
resources in the country. Unfortunately the rate of progress in our country has not been
commensurate with our potential on account of lack of appropriate work strategy.
In this project the main purpose of the study was to have a thorough understanding of the theoretical
concept and their practical application by being placed in the actual market environment
To understand their relevance and find the extent to which they are actually being applied in
the market situation;
To have an in-depth knowledge of the function of the organization through actual work
experience.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The project apart from a brief overall review of the organization, studies and analyses Customer
Awareness in market, referring to the general mobile users. The main issue of concern was related
with the consumers satisfaction rate, at the same time analyzing different causes and other
incentives regarding advertisement and products offered to them as well as judging the satisfaction
level with their schemes package, which surely creates a reason for determining their loyalty and
long time relation towards the operator.

1.3.2 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is an arrangement of conditions for connections and analysis of data in a manner
that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. Research designis a plan that specifies the sources and types of information relevant to the research problem. It is a
strategy specifying which approach will be used for gathering and analyzing the data. In fact, it is the
conceptual structure with which research is conducted; it constitutes the blue print for the collection,
measurement and analysis of data. The plan is an outline to research scheme on which the researcher
id to work. The structure of the research is a more specific outline or the scheme. The strategy shows
how the research will be carried out, specifying the method to be used in collecting data.
TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is mainly of three types: -
1. Exploratory research
2. Descriptive research
3. Experimental research
Steps in Research design

Research approach:
A non-technical description of data collection method i.e. sample survey that includes customers of
mobile users in Patna.
Time requirement:
Time needed is almost 2 months (7 weeks):
1.3.3 Data Collection Method
Questionnaire: The administration of a questionnaire to an individual or group of individuals.
Interviews: Structured interview as a follow up to questionnaire to seek clarifications and get
subjective data.
Measuring Tools:
Descriptive type of research, using the questionnaire with open & close ended questions.
1.3.4 Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a proposition, condition or principle which is assumed, perhaps without belief, in
order to draw logical consequences by this method to test its accord with facts which are known or may be determined.
When a researcher observes knows facts and takes up a problem for analysis, he first has to start
somewhere and this point of start is the hypothesis. In other words, one has to proceed to formulate
tentative solution as soon as the problem to be tackled is finalized. These proposed solutions or
9
-
7/31/2019 A Project Report on Uninor_2
10/67
explanations constitute the hypothesis which the researcher proceeds to test on the basis of fact
already known or that can be made known. Even, collection of facts merely for the sake of collecting
them will yield no fruits; to be fruitful, facts need to be collected such that they are for or against
some point of view or proposition. Such a point of view or proposition is the hypothesis. The
tentative explanations or solutions are suggested to researcher by something in the subject matter
and by our previous experience.
Hypothesis testing means to know whether the hypothesis based on the data collected is valid or not.
The main object of hypothesis testing is whether to accept the null hypothesis. Procedure for
hypothesis testing deals with steps on the basis of which a hypothesis is either rejected or accepted.
Thus, this study has been primarily carried out to analyse and judge the effects and implications of
various jobs among the customers of mobile users of different operators.
The hypotheses of the study are: -
Customers are aware about the various marketing strategies/campaigns of Uninor.
Marketing campaigns/strategies influence the subscription decisions of customers.
Mobile users have greater commitment towards those operators who provides better service
and attractive advertisement with schemes.
The hypothesis of this study has been deduced and identified on the basis of the belief that customers
subscribe to those telecom operators whose products/services they are aware of, and which meet
their needs.
1.3.5 Scope of the study
10

The study will help the company to know the awareness of Uninors Schemes and Services
in Patna city.
The study will help the company to know the customer profile.
The company can find out where their competitors stand.
The research has the wide customer base of the potential customers as anyone could be eligible
for purchasing.
The study will focus on the demand for UNINOR GSM service.
The study will target mainly dealers, retailers and consumers.
1.3.6 Limitations of the study
My project is entitled as:
A study of the Customer Awareness to enhance organizations performance, in market, of
UNINOR basically in the field of advertisement.
(A study conducted at Patna, with special reference to the customers of different mobile service
providers.)
My project being based on the primary data, I have undergone a session of interaction through
questionnaire with different mobile operator users as per the requirement of my project.
Now, while undergoing the interview process I found certain limitations existing thereby in
market:
People were hesitant to disclose the true facts.
11

7/31/2019 A Project Report on Uninor_2
12/67
The chance of biased response cant be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to
avoid the same.
Study and survey done in a particular area of Patna city only.
Randomly selected sample taken.
Time Constraints.
Some of the responses given by the respondents vague i.e. not legible and clear.
Few of them showed disinterest as they all have a notion that such an investigation is futile
and that they will gain no benefit from it.
Few of them remained quiet when asked about what suggestions they would like to give for
future developments and success of advertisement process of the UNINOR.
Despite all these constraints I have been impressed by the ingenuity, cooperation, confidence and
efficiency which were reflected through their knowledge and experience and still find my journey of
interviewing, interesting and people at Patna amiable and thus at least I successfully interacted to
many people in Patna.

19/67
One of the strongest weapons in the Uninors armory is the flexibility it has empowered with its
people. Every manger and sales person has the authorities to take whatever steps he feels will make
consumer aware of the brand and increase its consumption.
CHANNEL MANAGEMENT
Uninor has a very well managed distributive system. Every number of its sales team is meticulously
taught the merchandising and display skills that can leverage the reach of the companys network to
achieve high visibility for the product.
2.2 COMPANY HISTORY UNINOR TELECOM
The company Unitech Wireless was until 2009 a subsidiary of Unitech Group , holding a wireless
services licence for all 22 Indian telecom circles since 2008. In early 2009, Unitech Group and
Telenor agreed to enter a joint venture where Telenor Group would inject fresh equity investments
of INR 61.35 billion into Unitech Wireless to take a majority stake in the company. This was
operating capital invested directly in Unitech Wireless by Telenor Group.
Telenor Group conducted these investments in four tranches, and subsequent to approvals from the
Indian Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and the Cabinet Committee of Economic
Affairs (CCEA) took 67.25% ownership of Unitech Wireless. In September, the company
announced its brand name as Uninor.
Uninor launched its first eight circles on 3 December, 2009, after completing one of the worlds
largest GSM Greenfield launches which was also one of the fastest telecom roll-outs ever in India.

20/67
The brand was built around an ambition to serve the young, aspiring India. Six months later, five
additional circles were launched including metros like Mumbai and Kolkata, making the brand
commercially operational in 13 telecom circles of India. These circles together account for over 75%
of Indias population.
Uninor has facilitated rapid scaling of the company through a lean operation model, where a large
share of the network infrastructure is outsourced to business partners. With a relatively recent
infrastructure in place, Uninor operates one of the most modern GSM networks in the
country. Uninors modern equipment has enabled it to introduce targeted offerings and serve a large
audience with limited spectrum. As the first mobile operator in India, Uninor introduced Dynamic
Pricing, a concept that gives consumers discounts that are based on current network traffic at an
individual site and change with location and time. About 40% of Uninors customers are on a
Dynamic Pricing plan.
Over the summer of 2010, the company further simplified its strategy with a focus on three core
areas excellence in mass market distribution, basic services and cost efficient operations. Changes
were also made to the product mix and marketing communication making them simpler, more
direct and clearly positioning Uninor as an affordable mass market service.
Uninor has grown from 0 to 36 million customers (as of December 2011) within less than two years,
and is now emerging as the most successful of the new entrants that obtained licenses in 2008. The
company has more than double the subscribers of all of the other entrants combined.

2.3 THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF UNINOR
By the word organization we generally mean, a structural framework of duties and responsibilities
required of a personnel in achieving the predetermined goals. An organization of UNINOR is a
simple yet complex in terms of the different designations provided to its employees. Companys
overall view of organization can be successfully dealt as follows:
The people at UNINOR reflect the Companys emphasis on superior sales capability and service.
Their organizational structure, based on a general management model, reflects the same priorities.
Management designed their organization to give their market units the autonomy to serve the needs
of individual customers, develop market-specific strategies, and respond to local market place
dynamics. From the Management to the frontline customer representative, the entire UNINOR sales
force competes on a local level to serve existing customers and to win new accounts. SWOT of
UNONOR Telecom are:
Strength 1.Joint venture between worlds 6th largest telecom company andIndia's 2nd largest real estate company2.Good brand advertising
3. Good brand visibility
Weakness 1.It operates on 2G2.Still not launched post-paid schemes3.Lack of good brand visibility4.Low brand loyalty
Opportunity 1.Fast expanding cellular market
2.Latest and low cost technology3.Untapped rural market4.Value added services
Threats 1.Competitors low price offering2.Saturation point in Basic telephony service3.Mobile Number Portability

32/67
3.1 DEFINING CUSTOMER AWARENESS
Customer Awareness in short can be defined as:
Customer Awareness is a marketing term used to describe a brand or specific product being on top
of customers' minds when thinking of a particular industry and their awareness about the specific
product.
Customer Awareness has been defined as "the percent of respondents who, without prompting, name
a specific brand or product first when asked to list all the advertisements they recall seeing in a
general product category over the past 30 days."
Customer Awareness is a way to measure how well brands rank in the minds of consumers.
Companies that actively build brand awareness tend to rank highly in top-of-mind awareness, thus
correlating with the market share of a product.
Traditionally, customer awareness is achieved through media exposure on channels such as internet,
radio, newspapers, television, and magazines. Increasingly companies of all sizes move
towards social media to achieve brand-awareness.
3.2 INTRODUCTION TO CUSTOMER AWARENESS

Customer Awareness is a term originally coined by Ellis Verdi, the once president of the National
Retail Advertisers Council (NRAC) and owner of a prestigious marketing and advertising agency in
New York. Customer Awareness is the method of positioning the product. Under this method, it is
believed that if you create the highest level of awareness for your product, the customers will always
look to purchase it and would become loyal.
3.3 METHOD TO ACHIEVE AWARENESS OF CUSTOMERS TO
THE PRODUCTS
1. Use the reminder advertisement: Reminder advertisements can help one achieve the Awareness
easily. When you use the reminder advertisement, the people are more likely to buy your products
from a retail store as they are often reminded of your product. You can use TV and billboards to
remind the customers often and achieve Customer Awareness for your product.
2. You need to determine the following details too:
Who is your customer?
What magazines, trade journals, newspapers, newsletters, etc., do they read?
What associations do they belong to?
What are their needs as they relate to your offerings?
3. Continuously communicate with your customers:
According to Sales and Marketing Management, the average U.S. sale in 1993 took 12 impressions
to close. That's 12 incidents of calling, mailing, visiting or being seen in advertisements by prospects
before they're ready to do business with you. The good news--90% of your competitors give up after
the fourth contact. So, keeping in close touch with the customers will definitely help you to achieve
33

7/31/2019 A Project Report on Uninor_2
34/67
Customer Awareness. You may have to try harder for that and results may not be immediate, but as
this research shows, you should continue with your efforts.
3.4 IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMER AWARENESS
It does two things:
1. It psychologically impacts people so that the mere mention and knowledge of one's company,
product, or service inherently creates a need for them, and
2. It places one at the top of a specific market's consciousness so that one is instantly chosen when
people want what that person or firm has to offer.
INFORMATION GATHERING - The step involves decisions on three issues viz:-
1. What type of data is to be collected?
2. What methods are to be employed for data collection?
3. Who should collect the data? So far as the type of data to be collected, it may be stated that
all details about the Customer Awareness need to be gathered. The type of data, however,
depends on the end use of the information, as also on the time and budget constraints. With
regards to the methods for data collection. There are several of them, but the more prominent of
them are:
i) Interviewii) Questionnaireiii) Checklist
34

7/31/2019 A Project Report on Uninor_2
35/67
INFORMATION PROCESSING - Once the information has been collected, it needs to be
processed, so that it would be useful in various functions. Specifically, marketing related data would
be useful to prepare marketing strategy and advertisement.
3.5 EFFECTS OF CUSTOMER AWARENESS ANALYSIS ABOUTUNINOR
With the help of recent information about Customer Awareness of specific products the companies
change their marketing strategies and it will helpful for them to be in competition and survive in
market as well. There are several barriers for any organization to be in the mind of customers
constantly. So that there are some basics ways to be in customers mind are:
1. Strategically develop and implement a customer contact management system to manage
regular contact with your customers.
2. Inform your customers first about any new product or service you are offering.
3. Enclose thank you notes with new products.
4. Be very accessible and available to your clients so you can be responsive to their inquiries andneeds
5. Keep your clients informed and up-to-date about any changes in your business
3.6 METHODS TO AWARE THE CUSTOMERS
There are some methods to aware the customers, each of which requires a different type of
approach-

Individual interview method : An individual interview is a conversation between two people
(the interviewer and the interviewee) where questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain
information from the interviewee.
Group interview method : The group interview is a qualitative method of collection of data,
where 6 to 12 people are gathered either physically or online to discuss an issue.The respondents in the group interview are composed on the basis of criteria, which are established
before the respondents are invited to participate. Therefore it is a relative homogeneous group of
people, which achieve a feeling of community around the issue that is the centre of the discussion.
When a group of people exchange point of views and experiences, a useful group dynamic is being
created, which give a very varied and detailed knowledge about a clearer defined issue.Questionnaire method : The questionnaire (also called survey) is a set of questions given
to a sample of people. The purpose is to gather information about the peoples attitudes, thoughts,
behaviors, and so forth. The researchers compile the answers of the people in the sample in order to
know how the group as a whole thinks or behaves.

I - Interest:raise customer interest by focusing on and demonstrating advantages and benefits
(instead of focusing on features, as in traditional advertising).
D - Desire: convince customers that they want and desire the product or service and that it will
satisfy their needs.

It is, in modern terms, a fairly simplistic model. This does not mean that it is no longer of value--it
simply means that it is not the whole story. The bottom line is that it is useful to use it as a checklist

maximum and pay their best efforts towards increasing the service of mobile operators. So that
they properly responsed and shown interest.
Uninor has its attractive Product Offerings and less tariff rates, this is the main reasons to

There should be a timely well-structured and advertisement medium plays an important role in
growth of any organization.
The network connectivity and brand value are also important for the operators.
Company should to be strictly in accordance with advertisement and services.
A duly and timely filing of customer services with proper communication.
The awareness level among the employees regarding the various factors like services and
advertisement should be good.
Uninor will be take care of their Network Connectivity on priority basis.
Develop more attractive product Offerings.
Improve their Network Connectivity.
10.2 CONCLUSIONS
It is the ever-increasing tangible and intangible costs of advertising an existing services with known
skill sets and knowledge of the organizational culture would leave any users with sleepless nights.
But the fact remains that however satisfied they may seem users leave. So unsatisfied mobile users
is sometimes referred to as a symptom of many hidden problems. The main objective of this report
is to study vital causes of mobile users to impact with which sources of advertisement and services
so that to reduce uncertainty and can be plan accordingly to get maximum benefits of resources.
Therefore, the following points have been concluded:-
Inculcating values like trust and accountability among the users is the best way to hold every
users in an organization
62
-
7/31/2019 A Project Report on Uninor_2
63/67
Users leave not always for lowest tariff. In fact, there is a limit to the tariff an organisation can
afford to provide even its best performance. Rather, the major issues lie with the unarticulated
needs of the users.
Users often expect a sense of worth from operators. They want to trust the operators and also
walk the talk when it comes to living the vision and mission, as well as the other promises
communicated.
They expect from the operators to get a better services, they not always leave the specific
operators due to only tariffs and less advertisement but also improper services
5.3 SUGGESTIONS
With all the theoretical knowledge and practical experience I posses, I would like to suggest the
following-:
To increase the awareness level of mobile users at Patna with regards to various things like
services and advertisement and network connectivity.
To improve upon their Grievance redresser programme should be conducted.
To bring a sense of knowledge, importance and benefits among the users.
Trainings and development program should be conducted more seriously.
