happy the purchase of the material. This study focuses on buying behavior and brand loyalty

their conveniences. We found it from the data.
CHAPTER- 1
INTRODUCTION:
To achieve long-term profitability, you need to create and maintain loyal customers, but it's
hard to do so in the competitive environment. Brand loyalty is the repeated purchase of any
customer that reflects continuous buying and shows a positive attitude towards the brand to
buy that product in the future. This is not a repetitive purchase; it is a psychological
commitment for the customer towards the brand. Purchasing behavior refers to individuals or
organizations doing business along with the impact of various factors that influence them in
decision-making on the purchase of products and services in a market.

Etymology:
Xiaomi is the Chinese word for millet. In 2011, its CEO Lei Jun suggested that there are
more meanings than a simple mile and rice. He linked the "Xiao" part to the Buddhist
concept that "a single Buddhist rice grain is as big as a mountain," suggesting that Xiaomi
wants to work from small things, rather than start fighting for perfection, while "my" is an
acronym for mobile Internet and also Mission Impossible, referring to the obstacles
encountered to start the company. He also said he thinks the name is cute. In 2012, Lei Jun
said that the name is on the revolution and the possibility of bringing innovation to a new
area. Xiaomi's new "Rifle" processor has given weight to several sources linking the latter
meaning to the Communists of the Revolutionary Communist Party of China 米 加 步 枪
during the Second Sino-Japanese War. War Segunda. .
Business model
A Xiaomi Exclusive Service Center for customer service in Kuala Lumpur. Lei Jun, CEO of
Xiaomi, said the company sets phone prices almost at material billing prices without
compromising the quality and performance of components compared to other premium
smartphones that also benefits by selling peripheral devices related to the phone, smart home
products, apps, online videos and themes. According to Hugo Barra of Xiaomi in 2014, the
company sees hardware sales as a means of offering long-term software and services, "We
are an Internet company and a software company much more than a hardware company."
However, financial data available at the time indicated that this is a desire or a plan for the
distant future: 94% of the company's revenue came from mobile phone sales, an even higher
percentage than Apple. By maintaining strict control over its actions,Xiaomi is able to place
cheaper batch orders as dictated by demand. Flash sales of limited availability ensure that
supply never outstrips demand and help promote your products. On the contrary, traditional
OEMs involve large upfront production costs, which must be recovered with sales prices, to
send phones, some of which cannot be sold, to retailers around the world.
Xiaomi says to listen carefully to customer feedback, causing them to try out the next features
themselves, and build a large online community. Lei Jun described it this way: "When I was
with Kingsoft, I had the opportunity to work with Nokia and Motorola, two mobile phones
from his time. One day, I pointed out to his R&D boss, some shortcomings. After that, they
simply recognized my contribution, but never acted on what I had said. So, I thought, if I
make a phone, you can tell me what you want or what's wrong. If it is justifiable, we will
work on it immediately. I'll give you an update every week and you can also see your wishes
come true in a week." In practice, Xiaomi product managers spend a lot of time browsing
through the company's user forums. Once a suggestion is picked up, it is quickly transferred
to engineers. Therefore, features can go from a simple concept to shipping products within a
week. The company then sends a new batch of phones every week on Tuesdays at noon
Beijing time, containing new software builds and possible minor hardware settings. Xiaomi
calls this process "custom design you build."
According to the patent landscape report published in December 2016 by patent research and
analysis firm Grey Services Xiaomi owns 6989 patents with more than 90% of patents
filed/acquired after 2012. The increase in the number of patents is due to aggressive patent
acquisition/licensing agreements with many companies, including Broadcom, Intel and
Microsoft. The patent acquisition was a strategic move by Xiaomi to strengthen its weak
patent portfolio in line with its global expansion plan to create a defense against patent
applications.

with a red star and a red scarf around his neck.
CONTROVERSY:
GPL VIOLATIONS:
Xiaomi was unfavorable due to its violation of the terms of the GNU GPL. de The Linux
kernel of the Android project is licensed with the copyleft terms terminus of the Android
GPL Proyecto, which requires Xiaomi to distribute the complete kernel source code and
Android device trees for each Android device it deploys. By refusing to do so, or
unjustifiably delaying these versions, Xiaomi is operating in violation of intellectual property
law in China, as a major Android developer of the state WIPO Francisco Franco publicly
criticized Xiaomi's behavior after repeated delays in the release of the main source code.
Xiaomi has previously pledged to comply with the LPG in a timely manner, but has since
denied it.
Xiaomi has been compared to US company Apple Inc. , since critics have found some of
Xiaomi's phones and tablets similar in appearance to Apple Beyond, Xiaomi's marketing
strategy is sometimes described as riding on the back of the "Apple cult." It is said that, after
reading a book about Steve Jobs at university, Xiaomi's president and CEO, Lei carefully
cultivated an image of Steve Jobs, including jeans, dark shirts and Job's advertising style in
previous Xiaomi Dado product advertisements, was classified as a "fake jobs".
In 2012, it was said that the company was falsifying Apple's philosophy and mindset in 2013,
critics discussed how innovative Di Xiaomi products were and how good public relations
were about its innovation. Others point out that while there are similarities with Apple, the
ability to customize the software based on user preferences through the use of Google's
Android operating system differentiates Xiaomi during the Mi 4 presentation conference in
2014, the presentation slides used Apple's iconic "One More Thing" slide before introducing
the Mi Band; was the only English slide in the entire presentation.
Xiaomi has also been known for its hunger marketing tactics, which Apple also uses. "It
sells in just 50 seconds!" This comment is what an article said when Xiaomi released its latest
smartphone, Mi Note 2, and made more people focus on their new product. When Xiaomi
launches new products, they make the shortest record of time each time they run out of the
new article. Your new products are only available for purchase on your official website,
people who pre-register may have the opportunity to make a purchase.
In November 2012, Xiaomi's smart set-top box stopped working a week after launch because
the company opposed the China State Radio, Film and Television Administration. Regulatory
issues were passed in January 2013.
Hugo Barra
In August 2013, the company announced that it was hiring Hugo Barra of Google, where he
served as vice president of product management for the Android platform. Android. Barra
declined to comment on the timing of Google's reports, and said he had been in talks with
Xiaomi for over a year before announcing the move. He will be hired as vice president of
Xiaomi to expand the company outside mainland China, making Xiaomi the first smartphone
company to join party The Senior team of Google Barra's Android team with the goal of
helping Xiaomi grow internationally. Barra resigned from his position in January 2017 to
join Facebook as vice president of virtual reality
Privacy issues
Xiaomi Mi Cloud's cloud storage service stores all user data on its servers located in China.
There have also been reports that Xiaomi's cloud messaging service sends some private data
such as call logs and contact information to Xiaomi servers. Xiaomi later released a MIUI
update that made cloud messaging optional, no private data is sent to Xiaomi servers if the
cloud messaging service is disabled, as it states goes from Xiaomi.
In October 2014, Xiaomi announced that they are setting up servers outside of China for
international users citing better services and regulatory compliance in several nations over the
same period, the Indian Air Force issued a warning against Xiaomi phones, stating that they
were a national threat as they sent user data to a Chinese government agency. In September
2016, this Broen ink, a computer student, suspected a preinstalled app called Analytics Core
on Xiaomi phones. After further investigation, this ink Broen reported, through a blog post,
that Analytics Core can send information about the device, including IMEI, MAC address,
model and other parameters, to Xiaomi servers. It also revealed that Xiaomi phones have a
backdoor that allows the installation of any application without user approval. The veracity
of his claims has not yet been verified.
Sales numbers:
Taiwan's Fair-Trade Commission had investigated flash sales and found that Xiaomi had sold
fewer smartphones than advertised. In December, 3 separate flash sales were studied. In that
flash sales Xiaomi stated that the number of smartphones sold was 10,000 units each for the
first two sales, and 8,000 units for the third. However, the FTC had investigated the claims
and found that Xiaomi sold only 9,339 devices in the first flash sale, 9,492 units in the
second, and 7,389 for the third. It turned out that during the first flash sale, Xiaomi had given
1,750 priority "F-codes" to people who could place their orders without having to go through
flash sales, thus decreasing the stock that was publicly available.
On 9 December 2014, the Delhi High Court granted a precautionary measure to prohibit
prate the import and sale of Xiaomi products to India. This injunction was published in
response to a complaint filed by Ericsson regarding the patent infringement granted under
FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory Licenses). That injunction issued by the
High Court was applicable until 5 February 2015, when the High Court was due to convene
both parties for a formal hearing of the case. On December 16, 2010, the Delhi High Court
granted Xiaomi permission to sell its running devices on a Qualcomm-based processor until
January 8, 2010, Xiaomi had several sales to Flipkart including December 30, 2014. With this
sale, the company received press coverage when its Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G flagship phone
sold out in 6 seconds. The judge extended the division's provisional order allowing Xiaomi to
continue selling Qualcomm chipset-based phones until March 2018.
The company began operating in July after a monitored but disappointing initial public
offering valued it at nearly half of the 100 billion dollars (about Rs. 7 crores lakh) that
industry analysts had initially estimated. "The market opportunity abroad is huge, providing
huge growth potential for Xiaomi in both hardware and software," said Dany Wu, an analyst
at Fubon Research. "Despite the drop in margin, we believe this is a commitment to a rapid
expansion of its overall product lines." The company's gross margins fell 2pc to 12.5 percent
as continued profits in its Internet services business failed to offset falls in its hardware
business, which includes smartphones and Internet-connected devices such as smart TVs.
Xiaomi, which has gained a significant market share in India by hiring Samsung and Apple,
is expected to start selling a new mobile phone in the South Asian nation called Little F1
20,986 by the end of this month. The company will only sell the device in India at first,
emphasizing the importance of the market to Xiaomi.Il phone has a big impact on the price,
according to reviews on technology websites. The cheapest version is expected to sell for
about 300 dollars in India, more than double its popular Redmi 5 model. Xiaomi does not
break India's sales. International revenue for the second quarter was CNY 16.4 billion,
accounting for more than a third of total revenue.

LITERATURE MAGAZINE:
1) Andreoulakis; G. Kunduz (2011) correlated the branding of the mobile phone with the
security practices of users, users show different behavior in a number of features, depending
on the brand of the mobile phone they are using. As such, there is a categorization of
different areas for each brand, where users clearly lack a security mind, perhaps due to lack
awareness. Such categorization can help phone manufacturers improve their mobile phones in
terms of security, preferably transparent to the user.
2) The Taj A.A.; Rahmani Vahid; Taj Namin Aidyn (2012) discussed that the decision
process (choice) of a brand can be influenced by the situation and content. The results suggest
a significant relationship between the variables "brand attitude", "corporate attitude" and
"product choice (mobile phone)". In addition, no significant relationship was found between
individual decision-making processes (independent or medium) and product choice.
3) Serkan Aydin, G-khan Arasil, (2005) focused on measuring the effects of customer
satisfaction and trust on customer loyalty and the direct and indirect effect of "cost change"
on customer retention. The results of this study show that the switching cost factor directly
affects retention and has a moderating effect on both customer satisfaction and trust
4) Jonathan, Lee, Janghyuk, Lee and Lawrence, Feick (2001) discussed the moderating role
of changing costs in the customer satisfaction retention link; and identify and retain customer
segments. Therefore, the purposes of this document are: to examine the moderating role of
change costs in the customer satisfaction retention link; and to identify customer segments
and then analyze heterogeneity in the satisfaction-loyalty bond between the different
segments. An empirical example based on the mobile phone services market in France
indicates that the moderating role of switching costs is supported. The managerial
implications of the results are discussed.
5) The Dream Catchers Group (2008) investigated whether demographic variables or phone
characteristics included in phones that students already owned were predictive of consumers'
perceptions of grouped characteristics. In addition, this study was sought to determine
whether there was a significant difference in the perception of characteristics grouped by
students grouped between demographic variables (rural versus HBCU, gender, grade level,
cell phone brand, specialty and age).
6) Oyeniyi, Omotayo Joseph - Abioudun, Abolaji Joachim (2010) emphasis on customer
loyalty and the cost of customer change. Cost change is one of the most discussed
contemporary topics in marketing in an attempt to explain consumer behavior. This research
investigated cost change and its relationships with loyalty, customer loyalty and customer
satisfaction in the Nigerian telecommunications market. The study shows that customer
satisfaction has a positive impact on customer retention, and that the cost of the change
significantly affects the level of customer retention.
7) Rodolfo Martanez Gras; Eva Espinar Ruiz (2012) highlights a new dimension in
information and technology compared to adolescents in Spain. The main objective of this
article is to analyse the relationship between information and communication technologies
and Spanish teenagers. In particular, researchers studied, through a qualitative methodology,
the characteristics of adolescent access and the uses of technological devices. It analysed the
aims that motivate the use of information and communication technologies, highlighting a
close relationship between technology and communication and peer-to-peer entertainment.
On the contrary, there is an underutility of all these devices for teaching and learning
purposes.
9) Nasr Azad; Ozhan Karimi; Maryam Safaei (2012) presented an empirical study to study
the effects of different marketing efforts on brand equity in the mobile phone industry.
Results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between marketing mixing
efforts and brand equity. In other words, more listings could help better market exposure,
which means customers will be more aware of market characteristics. Of all the conflicting
efforts, the warranty has more influence on brand equity, which means consumers care more
about product services than other features. Finally, among the different characteristics of
brand fairness, the exclusivity of the product plays an important role. In other words, people
are interested in having an exclusive product, which is different from others.
10) Nasr Azad; Maryam Safaei (2012) says there is a lot of evidence to believe that
customers select their brand-based products. The products also maintain their own
characteristics, which make them distinguishable from others. In this article, researchers
presented an empirical study to determine important factors that influence customer buying
intent for mobile phones in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The results of the study show that
there are some positive relationships between the exclusive name and the perception of
quality, between the exclusive name and word of mouth advertising, between the perception
of quality and fidelity, between word of mouth advertising and brand and between the brand
image and the brand name.
11) Mehran Rezvani; Seyed Hamid Khodadad Hosseini; Mohammad Mehdi Samadzadeh
(2012) investigates the mouth-to-mouth impact (WOM) on the creation of Consumer Based
Brand Equity (CBBE). WOM features such as volume, value and quality of sources are
designed to find out how strongly each influences brand awareness, perceived quality and
brand association. Results suggested that volume and valence, two elements of WOM, affect
CBBE and no significant relationship between the type of origin and the brand's assets was
observed.
12) Sany Sanuri Mohd. Mokhtar; Ahmed Audu Maiyaki; Norzaini bt Mohd Noor (2011)
explores the relationship between quality of service and customer satisfaction in customer
loyalty regarding mobile phone use among graduate students at a university in northern
Malaysia. Results show that both quality of service and customer satisfaction significantly
influence the level of customer loyalty of mobile phone users in Malaysia. Therefore, mobile
service providers have been advised to pay special attention to the quality of their service and
factors that drive customer satisfaction.
13) Shakir Hafeez; SAF Hasnu (2010) says customer satisfaction is crucial to the success of
all businesses. One of the biggest challenges for a market is how to satisfy and retain
customers. This study is based on Mobilink prepaid customers. Results suggest that overall
customer satisfaction and customer retention are relatively low among Mobilink customers.
Customer loyalty in Pakistan's mobile sector is relatively low because it is an emerging
industry, new players are entering this market and customers are more fascinated to try new
service providers. However, it is expected that when the industry is well established, the
results will be more comparable to other studies.
14) Shiba shish, Chakraborty and Kalyan Sengupta (2008) strive to conduct a detailed study
of the important demographic variables of customers that influence customer rebranding.
This study will highlight the relevant aspects of the forecast to change customer appetite from
one service provider to another. Harsha de Silva, (2011), generally shows that the adoption of
(primarily) mobile phones has significant benefits not only for the adopter, but for the
community at large. In this context, the goal of the current article is to examine, from the
user's point of view, the influences (as well as the interaction of these influences) in the
adoption of mobile phones by the poor in a select set of countries in the emerging Asian
region.
15) Brenda, Mack, Robert Nickerson and Henri Isaac (2009), investigate the factors that
influence attitudes towards the social acceptance of mobile phones in public places and how
this attitude affects their use The results of the analysis indicate that attitudes on mobile
phone use in public places depend on the country and age factors. This attitude in turn
significantly affects the frequency of use of mobile phones. In addition, the frequency of use
is also affected by sex and the state of work.
16) Arvind Sahay and Nivedita Sharma (2010) focused on brand relations are in fact
important for the different categories of young consumers; secondly, to study the effect of
peer influence, family influence and brand relations on changing intentions among young
consumers; and thirdly, examine the impact of price changes on changing intentions in the
context of brand relations. The researcher's findings suggest that young consumers develop
relationships in all dimensions of the relationship with the brand.
CHAPTER 3
TERTIC BACKGROUND
Theory Marketing Kotler & Keller (2008:27) marketing is going to identify and meet human
and social needs. One of the best and shortest marketing options is to meet your needs in a
cost-effective way. In other theories Beckman and others. (1962:42) says that marketing is
essentially a process such as agriculture, production, mining or construction. As such of a
fundamentally functional nature and can therefore be defined as performing all the necessary
tasks, doing the transfer of ownership of the products, assuming their physical distribution
and facilitating the entire marketing process. Based on this researcher you can define that
Marketing is getting the right product or service in the right amount, in the right place, at the
right time and making a profit in the process, understanding the customer and giving them
what they want.
Kotler & Keller Consumer Behavior (2008:172) viewed consumer behavior as studying how
individuals, groups, and organizations select, purchase, use, and remove goods, services,
ideas, or experiences to meet their needs and desires. Consumer behavior involves the use
and disposal of products, as well as the study of how they are purchased. Consumer behavior
involves services and ideas, as well as tangible products. In this process, the consumer
evaluates a purchase represented by the recognition of necessity – the realization of the
difference between the desired situations that serves as a trigger for the entire consumption
process (Engel et al. 1995:55). The consumer behavior defined by the researcher is the study
of individuals, groups or organizations and the processes they use to select, protect, use,
delete products, services, experiences or ideas to meet the needs and impacts that these
processes have on the consumer and society.
Kotler and Keller Consumer Purchase Decision (2008:185) The Engle, Kholat and Blackwell
model shows consumers the purchasing decision process, based on the basic process of
consumer psychology it has examined play an important role in the actual consumer
purchasing decision. It indicates that consumers go through five phases: problem recognition,
information search, alternative assessment, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior.
Clearly the purchase process starts long before the actual purchase and has consequences
much later. However, the consumer does not always go through the five stages, which may
omit or reverse some. For example, when you buy the regular brand of toothpaste, you go
directly from the need to buy the decision, omitting the research and evaluation of the
information and go directly from problem recognition to purchase decision.
Culture:
Kotler and Keller (2008:173) Culture, subculture and social class are particularly important
influences on consumer buying behavior. Culture is the determinant of a person's desires and
behavior. Through the family and other key institutions, they are influenced by beliefs,
knowledge, working language and art. Culture can be considered a way of life and passed
down from a generation to the next generation under a different culture, people can have their
own opinions of themselves or relationships with others. Sellers should take a closer look at
each country's cultural values to understand how best to market their existing product and
find opportunities for new products.
Social
Kotler and Keller (2008:175) Social factors are the factors that come from reference groups,
family members, social roles and status that influence consumer behavior to make buying
something. The researcher found that social factors are the facts and experiences that affect
the personality, attitudes and lifestyle of the individual come from people around.
Staff
Kotler and Keller (2008:177) Personal factors are the factors that use the characteristics of
each consumer that influence consumer behavior are age and stage in life cycle, employment
and economic circumstances, personality and self-conception. The researcher defined that
personality is the set of specific traits and characteristics of each individual is the product of
the interaction of the psychological characteristics of the individual of something like the
brand.
Psychological
Kotler and Keller (2008:182) Psychological factors that influence consumer behavior and are
divided into 4 categories: motivation, perception, learning, as well as beliefs and attitudes. It
can be defined that one of the definitions of psychological is the process by which an
individual select, organizes and interprets the information he receives to do something that
makes sense.

The main data was collected by me with the help of questionnaires sent to 100 respondents.
Secondary data
Secondary data was collected over the Internet, project reports, and marketing books.
The questionnaire is used as a research tool consisting of structured questions and has been of
very finite questions. The questionnaire is used as a tool, as closed questions are and are
asked, as analysis and interpretation were required.
The collected data would be analyzed using the pie chart, histogram, frequency distribution
crosstab bar chart, chi square test, and ANOVA test.
