1. Introduction
Big Bazaar
Big Bazaar is a chain of hypermarket in India. Currently there are 210 stores across 80 cities and towns in India. Big Bazaar is designed as an agglomeration of bazaars or Indian markets with clusters offering a wide range of merchandise including fashion and apparels, food products, general merchandise, furniture, electronics, books, fast food and leisure and entertainment sections. Big Bazaar is part of Future Group, which also owns the Central Hypermarket, and is owned through a wholly owned subsidiary of Pantaloon Retail India Limited(BSE: 523574 523574), that is listed on Indian stock exchanges.
and study consumer shopping behaviour towards organized retailer, so as to have a better insight of consumers buying behaviour.
3. To study the layout of multi-brand organized retail markets & their opportunity. 4. To find out the consumers perception about the assortments of products services available at
the traditional grocery stores in comparison to organized retail stores.
H2: Impulsive buyers can be converted into compulsive buyers if the consumers are satisfied with the product and services offered by the stores.
H3: Impulsive buyers behaviour has negative impact on the retailers performances if consumers have experienced dissatisfaction with the product and services offered by the seller.
4. Review of Literature
Researchers have looked into the importance of customer satisfaction, (Kotler, 2000) defined satisfaction as persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment results from comparing a products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. The key of achieving organizational goals consists in determining the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfaction more effectively and efficiently than competitors.
Muhammad Ali Tirmizi, Kashif-ul-Rehman, M.Iqbal saif (2009), in their study on An Empirical Study of Consumer Impulse Buying Behavior in Local Markets have clearly indicated that there exists a weak association between consumer lifestyle, fashion involvement and post decision stage of customer purchasing behaviour with the impulsive buying behaviour.
Johan Anselmsson (2006) on sources of customer satisfaction with shopping malls, a comparative
study of different customers segments, a study mainly focused on customer satisfaction and visit frequency at shopping malls among customer segments based on age and gender. It was found eight underlying factors are important to customer satisfaction. Those are selection, atmosphere, convenience, sales people, refreshments, location, and promotional activities and merchanding policy.
5. Research Design
It was important to collect detailed information on various aspects for effective analysis. Research design can be of three forms: Descriptive Research: It is conducted to ascertain certain magnitudes and to provide an accurate snapshot of some aspect of the market environment. For example: Determining the size of the market, market share, availability of distributors, sales analysis, studies of consumer attitude etc. Exploratory Research : This is used when one is seeking insight into the general nature of a problem, the possible decision alternatives, and relevant variables that need to be considered. Little prior knowledge is required. Research methods are highly flexible, unstructured and qualitative. For example:
What new product should be developed, what should be the positioning of our product, etc. Causal Research : Causal studies are designed to determine whether one or more variables cause or determine the value of other variables. It is an evidence of relationships of variables. For example: Whether decrease in price will lead to an increase in the sales of a product, or whether the presence of a sales person will help in increasing the sales in a retail outlet, etc. These three types can be viewed as cumulative. The research design adopted for project research is Causal Research. Once the researcher has decided the Research Design, the next job is of data collection. For data to be useful, our observation needs to be organized so that we can get some
5. Data Collection
Primary Data:
It is one, which is collected by the investigator himself for the purpose of specific inquiryor study. Such data is original in character and is generated by surveys conducted by individualsor research institutions.It can be obtained by:
Communication
Observation Questionnaire
Secondary Data:
When an investigator uses the data, which has already been collected by others such data iscalled secondary data. This data is primary for the agency that collects it and becomes secondarydata for someone else who uses this data for his own purpose.It can be obtained by: Companys web Journals Reports Newspapers Government Publications
Sampling Method
A convenient sampling method will be used to obtain the data from the customers who regularly visit Big Bazaar and Vishal Mega Mart.
Sample Size
A Sample of 125 respondents was chosen for data collection.

respond to each of the statements in terms of several degrees, usually five degrees 9 but a times 3,5,7 may also be used) of agreement or disagreement . For example when asked to express opinion weather one considers his job quite pleasant, the respondent may respond in any one of the following ways: (i) Strongly agree, (ii) agree, (iii) undecided, (iv) disagree, (v) strongly disagree.The Likert scaling technique, thus, assigns a scale value to each of the five response. The same thing is done in respect of each and every statement in the instrument. This way the instrument yields a total score for each respondent, which would then measure the respondents favourableness toward the given point of view.
C. Statistical Analysis a) Correlation Analysis Correlation analysis studies the join variation of two or more variables for determining the amount of correlation between two or more variables. Casual analysis is concerned with the study of how one or more variables affect changes in another variable. It is thus a study of functional relationships existing between two or more variables b) T- Test T-test is based on t-distribution and is considered an appropriate test for judging the significance of a sample mean or for judging the significance of difference between the means of two samples in case of small sample (s) when population variance is not known (in which case is use variance of the sample as an estimate of the population variance). c) Chi- Square test The Chi-square test is an important test amongst the several tests of significance developed by statistician. Chi-square, symbolically written as ) (pronounced as Ki-square), is a statistical measure used in the context of sampling analysis for comparing a variance to a theoretical variance. As a nonparametric test, it can be used to determine if categorical data shows dependency or the two classifications are independent.
