CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1) INTRODUCTION

A market-focused, or customer-focused, organization first determines what its potential


customers desire, and then builds the product or service. Marketing theory and practice is justified
in the belief that customers use a product/service because they have a need, or because a
product/service provides a perceived benefit.

Two major factors of marketing are the recruitment of new customers (acquisition) and the
retention and expansion of relationships with existing customers (base management). Once a
marketer has converted the prospective buyer, base management marketing take over. The process
for base management shifts the marketer to building a relationship, nurturing the links, enhancing
the benefits that sold the buyer in the first place, and improving the products/service continuously
to protect the business from competitive encroachments.

Marketing is the wide range of activities involved in making sure that you are continuing to
meet the needs of your customers and are getting value in return. Marketing analysis includes
finding out what groups of potential customers exist, what group of customers you prefer to serve,
what their needs are, what products or services you might develop to meet their needs, how the
customers might prefer to use the products and services, what your competitors are doing, what
pricing you should use and how you should distribute products and services to your target market.
Various methods of market research are used to find out information about markets, target markets
and their needs, competitors etc. Marketing also includes ongoing promotions, which can include
advertising, public relations, sales and customer service.

Initially, marketing environment was largely described as seller market demand and was
invariably greater than supply. Most of our business enterprise are still having selling concept
which is product oriented. A change is taking place in the marketing environment at rapid speed
and many consumer oriented marketing companies beginning to realize the presence of
competition and marketing. In the modern marketing consumer is the king. So the producers fate
is decided by the action of the consumer. That is, by either buying the product or rejecting it. So a
producer tries hard to gain competitive efficiency over the other by adopting new technologies in
production and cost reduction measures.

Children are the most crucial resource of a country. These future citizen can contribute
substantially to the social and economic development of a country. But to achieve this one must
pay proper attention to the children. So this research is undertaken to know whether the proper
attention is given to the quality of goods and services provide to them

1.2 )Significance of the study

1.5) RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research design for the study is descriptive and analytical in nature. The present study is
conducted to evaluate the customers attitude towards Johnson & Johnsons baby product.
Descriptive research is intended to report what has happened and what is happening.

1.6) Area of study

For the purpose of knowing the customers attitude towards Johnson & Johnsons baby products
peoples from the chittur- Thattamangalam municipality are selected. The attitude of peoples from
chittur municipality is only considered.

1.7) Sample frame work

A sample of 50 respondents was selected from the population of Chitttur-Tthttamangalam


municipality as mentioned below

4
Out of the population of 600 families in ward 1, 410 families from ward 6, 380 families from ward
11 and 290 families from ward 16 a respondents of 18, 14,12, 6 families respectively are selected,
one out of each family are selected as respondents.

1.8) Period of study

The period of study is limited to 21 days.

1.9) Collection of data

The collection of data is considered to be one of the important aspect in the research methodology.
There are two types of data collection methods are used for the study: Primary data and secondary
data. Primary data are collected through questionnaire and the secondary data are collected from
research paper published on website.

1.8) Tools for analysis

1. 10.1) Friedman Test

The Friedman test is a non-parametric statistical test developed by the US economist Milton
Friedman. Similar to the parametric repeated measure ANOVA, it is used to detect differences in
treatments across multiple test attempts. The procedure involves ranking each row (or block)
together, then considering the values of ranks by columns. Applicable to complete block designs, it
is thus a special case of the Durbin test.

1.10.2)Two-Way ANOVA

In statistics, the two way analysis of variance (ANOVA)is an extension of the one way ANOVA
that examine the influence of two different categorical independent variables on one continues
dependent variable. Two way ANOVA not only aims at assessing the main effect of each
independent variable but also if there is any interaction between them.

1.10.3) Kruskal Wallis test

The Kruskal Wallis test is a non parametric test equivalent to One Way ANOVA. It explores the
outcome of a single dependent variable, across 3 or more distinct groups of a categorical
independent variable. Compare to parametric test, there are very few assumptions and restrictions
for the test. The only restriction for the dependent variable is that the data must be on at least
5
ordinal ranking scale. The independent variable must be categorical and be represented by at least
3 distinct group. One can appear in the more than group at time. The kruskal Wallis test examines
outcome by comparing how the scores are ranked across the group. Here the test is used to test the
mean rank preference of customers as to most influencing mode of advertisement among the
customers.

1.9) LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

The study is confined to the perception or attitude of customers on johnson & johnsons baby
products, excluding comparative study with other brand producing same type of products.

Random sampling method was applied for the selection of sample. As such the study suffers
from the limitations of sampling method. Four blocks are selected from the municipality at
random and one ward is selected from each block at random and sample was allocated to ward
selected proportionate to the number of peoples in the ward.

Since there was no monthly income wise variation on data (Two-Way ANOVA), the analysis
was entirely based on their Gender and Education they belong to.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

7
Introduction:

Generally ,a researcher conducts and surveys literature in order to review the present status of a
particular research topic. From the survey of literature, a researcher is able to know the quantum of
work all ready done in a research topic so far not touched , or at to be under taken . The over view
of literature at the national or a an international level is to be researched with the help of research
report , articles , books , and other materials .

This study contribute to literature by focusing on evaluation of costumer attitude towards Johnson
and Johnsons baby products. The aim of literature is to justify , rational of an ensuring research

and problems.

Daniles and Jane(2012) a marketing strategies with in the baby product industry, the study of
baby product market can be very congested with many different brands depending on the product
and it can be hard for a consumer to distinguish between the multiple brands. Marketer need to
assist consumer trough the distraction of all the various brands and led the consumer to their
particular brand.

Nagel and Andrea(1998)reported that Johnson baby care brand is launching Johnsons soft ,an
adult line of body lotions and body washes specifically for mothers in responds to Johnsons
research which found that this demographic still seeks a trusted skin care brand. The product
consists of four variants. The items will be merchandised exclusively in the adult skin care aisle.

Sloan and pal(2011) done a study on Helene Curtis industries Inc.s entry into the baby care
market in U.S. The company will launch the Suave Baby Care, a line of lotions and other products
for babies. An estimated $20 million marketing and advertising campaign will support the product
launch. Besides shampoos, powders, lotions, oil, and baby bath, the line will include baby wipes.

Carton and Barbara(2000) reported that a growing number of Americans are using expensive
cosmetics for their children. Use of imported powders, herbal lotions and other high-end toiletries;
French line Mustela offering sensitive skin care for children; Phenomenon of older parents who are

mother think, conceive and learn upon brand. The research results showed that brand perception of
mother for baby accessory product in different when considered by marketing communication
program.

Febrina Fitriyanti Tambunan (2003) , The study reveals that address various perception toward
baby formula it is recommended that health and nutrition practitioners become more actively
involved with the training of health professionals,particularly those engaged in delivery of infant
services at primary care level,and in turn encouraged health professionals to engaged more with
media primary care level and in turn encourage health professionals to engage more with media
sources.

Yeomacha (2014) Baby care production both in price and quality. Therefore,it is immensely
necessary for both products and dealers to see that competitive efficiency of products is kept high.
Producers have to act on production, pricing ,promotion and distribution according to consumer
preferences. Dealers have got the responsibility in this direction in the promotion and distribution
in their areas. Regular market research will help in ascertaining the preference and acting
accordingly in the field of production , distribution etc. Consumer orientation of marketing is
immensely necessary for creating and maintaining the brand image in the minds.

3.1) HISTORY

Robert Wood Johnson, inspired by a speech by antisepsis advocate Joseph Lister,joined brothers
James Wood Johnson and Edward Mead Johnson to create a line of ready-to -use surgical dressings
in 1885.The company produced its first products in 1886 and incorporated in 1887.

Robert Wood Johnson served as the first president of the company. He worked to improve sanitary
practices in the nineteenth century, and lent his name to a hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Upon his death in 1910, he was succeeded in the presidency by his brother James Wood Johnson
until 1932, and then by his son, Robert Wood Johnson II. Jamie Johnson, great-grandson of the
founder, made a documentary called Born Rich about the experience of growing up as the heir to
one of the worlds greatest fortunes.

3.2) CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Current members of the board of directors of Johnson & Johnsons are:

Mary Sue Coleman,James G.Cullen, Dominic Caruso, Michael M.E. Johns, Ann Dibble Jordan,
Arnold G. Langbo, Susan L. Lindquist, Leo F. Mullin, William Perez, Steven S. Reinemund, David
Satcher, and Willian C. Weldon.

Sandi Peterson has served as Group Worldwide chairman since 2012.


11
On top of Alex Gorsky and Sandi Peterson, current members of Executive Committees of Johnson
& Johnson are:

Dominic Caruso, Peter Fasolo, Paul Stoffels, and Michael Sneed.

General Robert Wood Johnsons, who guided Johnson from a small , family owned business to a
worldwide enterprise, had a very perceptive view of a corporations responsibilities beyond the
manufacturing and marketing of products.

As early as 1935, in a pamphlet titled TRY REALITY, he urged his fellow industrialists to embrace
what he termed a new industrial philosophy. Johnsons defined this as the corporations
responsibility to customers, employees, and the community and stock holder.

But it was not until eight year later, in 1943 that Johnsons brought a first published the Johnson
and Johnson Credo, a one page document outlining this responsibilities in greater details.
Johnsons saw to it that the Credo was embraced by his company, and he urged his management to
applied it as part of there every day business philosophy.

The Credo , seen by business leader and the media as being farsighted, received wide public
attention and acclaim. Putting costumer first and stockholder last, was a refreshing approach to the
management of business. But it should be noted that Johnson was a practical minded business man.
He believed that by putting the costumer first the business will be well served, and it was.

The Corporation has drown heavily on the strength of the Credo for guidance through the years ,
and at no time was this more evident that during the TYLENOL crises of 1982 and 1986, then the
McNeil consumer & specialty Pharmaceuticals(now McNeil Consumer Health care ) product was
adult created with cyanide. With Johnson and Johnsons good name and reputation at stake,
company managers and employees made countless decisions that they are inspired by the
philosophy embodied in the Credo. The companys reputation was preserved and the TYLENOL
acetaminophen business was regained.

Today the Credo lives on in Johnson & Johnsons stronger than ever. Company employees now
participate in a periodic survey and evaluation of just how well the company performs its Credo

12
responsibilities. These assessments are then fed back to the senior management, and where are
shortcomings, corrective action is promptly taken.

Over the year, some of the language of the Credo has been updated and new areas recognizing the
environment and the balance between work and family have been added. But the spirit of the
document remains the same today as when it was first written.

When Robert Wood Johnson wrote and then institutionalized the Credo within Johnson & Johnson,
he never suggested perfection. But its principles have become a constant goal, as well as
inspiration, for all who are part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies

More than 60 years after it was first introduced, the Credo continues to guide the destiny of the
worlds largest and most diversified health care company.

3.3) DIVERSIFICATION

Since 1900s, the company has pursued steady diversification. It added consumer products in the
1920s and created a separate division for surgical products in 1941 which become Ethicon. It
expanded into pharmaceuticals with the purchase of McNeil Laboratories, Inc., Cilag, and Janssen
Pharmaceuticals, and into womens sanitary products and toiletries in the 1970s and 1980s. In
recent year, Johnson & Johnson has expanded into such diverse area as bio pharmaceuticals,
orthopedic devices, and internet publishing. Recently, Johnson &Johnson has purchase Pfizers
Consumer Healthcare department. The transition from Pfizer to Johnson & Johnson was completed
December 18, 2006.

Johnson & Johnson was named one of the 100 Best Companies for working Mothers in 2004 by
working mothers.

Along with Gatorade, Johnson & Johnson is one of the founding sponsors of the

National Athletic Trainers Association.

3.4) HEADQUARTERS

13
The company has historically been located on the Delaware and Raritan Canal, in New Brunswick.
The company considered moving its headquarters out of New Brunswick in the 1960sbut decided
to stay in town after city officials promised to gentrify downtown New Brunswick by demolishing
old building and constructing new ones. While New Brunswick lost at least one historic edifice (the
inn where Rutgers University began) to the redevelopment, the gentrification did attract people
back to New Brunswick. Johnson & Johnson hired Henry N.Cobb from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners
to design an addition to its headquarters.

3.5) USE OF RED CROSS SYMBOL

Johnson & Johnson registered the Red Cross as a U.S. Trademark for medicinal and surgical
plaster in 1905, and claims to have used the design since 1887. The Geneva Conventions, which
reserved the Red Cross emblem for specific uses, theyre first approved in 1864 and ratified by the
United States in 1882; hotheyver, the emblem was not protected in U.S. Law for the use of the
American Red Cross and the U.S. Military until after Johnson & Johnson had obtained its
trademark. A clause in this law (now 18 U.S.C. 706) permits per-existing uses of the Red Cross,
such as Johnson & Johnsons, to continue.

A declaration made by the U.S. upon its ratification of the 1949 Geneva Conventions includes a
reservation that pre-1905 U.S. domestic uses of the Red Cross, such as Johnson & Johnsons,
would remain lawful as long as the cross is not used on aircraft, vessels, vehicles, building or other
structures, or upon the ground, uses which could be confused with its military uses. This means
that the U.S. did not agree to any interpretation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions that would
overrule J&J trademark. Even as it disputes J&Js recent lawsuit (see below), the American Red
Cross continues to recognize the validity of J&J trademark.

3.5.1) Lawsuit against the Red Cross

14
In August of 2007, Johnson & Johnson filed a lawsuit against the American Red Cross (ARC),
demanding that the charity halt the use of the Red Cross symbol on products it sells to t\\ohe public,
although the company insists it has no issue with the charitys use of the mark for

non-profit purposes. The suit also asks for the destruction of all currently existing non-Johnson &
Johnson Red Cross Emblem bearing products and demands the American Red Cross pay punitive
damages and J&Js legal fees.

Since 2004, the Red Cross has worked with several licensing partners to create first aid,
preparedness and related products that bear the Red Cross emblem. All money the Red Cross
receives from the sale of these products to consumers is reinvested in its humanitarian programs
and services. For a multi-billion dollar company to claim that the Red Cross violated a criminal
statute that was created to protect the humanitarian mission of the Red Cross - simple so that J&J
can make more money - is obscene, said Mark Everson, the chief executive of the charity.

JNJ statement J&J has great respect for the relief work of ARC and over the decades has
consistently supported the organization through cash donations, product donations and employee
volunteering. ... After more than a century of strong cooperation in the use of the Red Cross
trademark, with both organization

respecting the legal boundaries for each other unique legal rights, they theirs very disappointed to
find that the American Red Cross started a campaign to license the trademark ... For the past
several months, J&J has attempted to resolve this issue through cooperation and discussion with
the ARC, and recently offered mediation ,to no avail.

all locations every two to three years to learn their impressions of how the company

performs its credo responsibilities. These assessments are then fed back to the senior management,
and where there are shortcomings, corrective action is taken.

3.12) MARKETING MIX ELEMENTS

Marketing involves a number of activities. To begin with, an organization may decide on its
target group of customers to be served. Once the target group is decided, the product is to be placed
in the market by providing the appropriate product, price, distribution and promotional efforts.
These are to be combined or mixed in an appropriate proportion so as to achieve the marketing
goal. Such mix of product, price, distribution and promotional efforts is known as Marketing
Mix.

According to Philip Kotler Marketing Mix is the set of controllable variables that the firm can use
to influence the buyers response. The controllable variables in this context refer to the 4 Ps
[product, price, place (distribution) and promotion]. Each firm strives to build up such a
composition of 4Ps, which can create highest level of consumer satisfaction and at the same time
meet its organizational objectives. Thus, this mix is assembled keeping in mind the needs of
target customers, and it varies from one organization to another depending upon its available
resources and marketing objectives.

3.12.1) Product:

Product refers to the goods and services offered by the organization. A pair of shoes, a plate of
dahi-vada, a lipstick, all are products. All these are purchased because they satisfy one or more of
our needs. We are paying not for the tangible product but for the benefit it will provide. So, in
simple words, product can be described as a bundle of

Benefits which a marketer offers to the consumer for a price. While buying a pair of shoes, we are
actually buying comfort for our feet, while buying a lipstick we are actually paying for beauty
because lipstick is likely to make us look good. Product can also take the form of a service like an
19
air travel, telecommunication, etc. Thus, the term product refers to goods and services offered by
the organization for sale.

3.12.3)Price:

Price is the amount charged for a product or service. It is the second most important element in the
marketing mix. Fixing the price of the product is a tricky job. Many factors like demand for a
product, cost involved, consumers ability to pay, prices charged by competitors for similar
products, government restrictions etc. have to be kept in mind while fixing the price. In fact,
pricing is a very crucial decision area as it has its effect on demand for the product and also on the
profitability of the firm.

3.12.4)Place:

Goods are produced to be sold to the consumers. They must be made available to the consumers at
a place where they can conveniently make purchase. Woolens are manufactured on a large scale in
Ludhiana and you purchase them at a store from the nearby market in your town. So, it is necessary
that the product is available at shops in your town. This involves a chain of individuals and
institutions like distributors, wholesalers and retailers who constitute firms distribution network
(also called a channel of distribution). The organization has to decide whether to sell directly to the
retailer or through the distributors/wholesaler etc.

3.12.5) Promotion:

If the product is manufactured keeping the consumer needs in mind, is rightly priced and made
available at outlets convenient to them but the consumer is not made aware about its price, features,
availability etc., its marketing effort may not be successful. Therefore promotion is an important
ingredient of marketing mix as it refers to a process of informing, persuading and influencing a
consumer to make choice of the product to be bought. Promotion is done through means of
personal selling, advertising, publicity and sales promotion. It is done mainly with a view to
provide information to prospective consumers about the availability, characteristics and uses of a
product. It arouses potential consumers interest in the product, compare it with competitors
product and make his choice. The proliferation of print and electronic media has immensely helped
the process of promotion

3.13) BRAND

Brands are intangible assets, assets that produces added benefits for the business. This is the
domain of strategic brand management: how to create value with proper brand management

Definition of a Brand Brand is most commonly referred to as the name, term, design, symbol, or
any other feature that identifies one sellers goods/services as distinct from those of other sellers.
Whilst this definition is too general to grasp the key aspects of brand trust, we have defined brand
as:

a reputational asset which has been developed over time so as to embrace a set of values and
attributes. As a result people hold a set of beliefs about the brand which are often powerful.

3.13.1) Brand Trust

Brand trust is viewed as central in many studies. It is conceptualized as a notable factor in the firm
success. Choudhury and Holbrook define brand trust as the willingness of the average consumer
to rely on the ability of the brand to perform its stated function. Brand trust arises after
consumers evaluation of companies offerings. If companies provide beliefs of safety, honesty and
reliability about their brands to consumers, brand trust will be generated subsequently. It can be
interpreted that brand trust is created and developed by direct experiences of consumer via brands.

The main difference between brand trust and brand affect is; brand trust is viewed as a long process
which can be occurred by thought and consideration of consumer experiences about store while
brand affect is consisted of impulsive feelings which can be formed, spontaneously. Therefore
brand trust can be discussed as a cognitive component which may induce emotional response,
namely brand affect.

3.13.2) BRAND EQUITY

Brand equity is the measurable value derived from marketing and other strategic and management
efforts attributable to a brand

The challenge for marketers in building a strong brand is ensuring that customers have the right
type of experiences with products and services and their accompanying marketing programs so that
21
the desired thoughts, feelings, images, beliefs, perceptions, opinions, and so on become linked to
the brand.

3.13.3) BRAND LOYALTY

Brand loyalty is a pattern of consumer behaviour where consumers become committed


to brands and make repeat purchases from the same brands over time.
Loyal customers consistently purchase products from their preferred brands, regardless of
convenience or price. Companies often use different marketing strategies to cultivate loyal
customer, including loyalty programs (i.e. rewards programs) or trials and incentives (such as
samples and free gifts .Brand Equity What is it? Brand equity is the value of the brand in the
marketplace.1 simply put, a high equity brand has high value in the marketplace. However, what
this means exactly is often not fully or clearly understood.

High brand value, a brand with high equity, means that the brand has the ability to create some sort
of positive differential response in the marketplace. This can mean that your brand is easily
recognizable when encountered in advertising or seen on a yard sign. It can mean that your brand is
one of the first ones recalled when a relevant prompt is used who would I call to discuss listing
my house? It could mean that individuals would be willing to pay a premium price for your
