REVIEW OF EXISTING LITERATURE

To study the buying behavior it necessary to aware with the market change in few years, because day by day the awareness of the computers is growing bind along with that the entry of new players in the market grow rapidly. That has drastically hits the traditional processors market and makes the many changes in the few years. As to in the processor market the change is not only due to of competition but along with the change of technology. To see the market changes in few years we have to go through with the existing literature of processor market. In the computer studies as to not of such of studies are done only of few studies were done regarding computers and their perspectives by foreign as well as by the foreign writers. So some of the content can be used for this study, the few studies are used they are: -

• DR. S.P Joseph, “Computer and Human — Relation of IC and Blood”, A.M.K. University, South Africa, 1998.
• Louis. E. Frenzel, “Computers — Futures Man By Man”, Parsons Electronics, USA, 2001.
• Dr. A.K. Shiva “Computer Impact over Human lives”, Banglore University, India, 1998.
• Mr. Arun Jain, “Customer Satisfaction Level of Intel Products”, Trainee at INTEL, G.G.S. University, 2002.

The some of useful and meaningful point of existing literature for this study are: --

• Customers of the processors are not only interested to the price but they pay more stress towards the advancement of technology for easy and speedy work.
• Computer has made greater impact over human lives rather than the other technology invention and advancement.
• Computer is another name of change, with that in each one or two years in computers technology changes is not a big and new thing.
• Initially computers only provide the limited range of services but today we can not think any service without computers.
• Till 1960 computers have the presence only in 5 countries around the globe but today approx. each and every country of world have computers.

So these are the extract of the computer literature that is useful towards the solution of buying behavior.

FOCUS OF STUDY

Satisfaction is a person felling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her expectations. So this study mainly focuses on: -

• The satisfaction level of customers the study based on the feedback collected from the filled questionnaire.
• Whether the customer is satisfied with the supplied product and not.
• If customer is satisfied up to what extent and if is not satisfied why. What is the reason behind this?
• Factors that affect the buying behavior as well as the customer satisfaction.

• For making of better competition strategy in changing environment.
• Future marketing war and promotional plans decisions.
• For the study of future buying behavior affecting factor prediction.
• To check the customer satisfaction and brand awareness.
