International marketing research or IMR often plays a vital role in the identification and
development of a company’s strategies. It enables a business to identify, evaluate and compare
potential foreign market opportunities and develop a marketing plan. As businesses expand
further and further in international markets, the role of timely and accurate marketing research to
guide decision-making becomes increasingly critical. Research to support international
marketing decisions has evolved over the past four decades and must change even more to
support firms in the 21st century.
International Marketing Research (IMR) can be defined as market research conducted either
simultaneously or sequentially to facilitate marketing decisions in more than one country .
The process calls for studying the various market characteristics for facilitating marketing
decisions that can be taken across countries. The studies deal with tracing the various
components that are responsible for the marketing the product.
National Differences: The main factors that affect the way in which people from different
cultures behave are:
✔ Cultural Differences
✔ Climatic Differences:
✔ Racial Differences
✔ Economic Differences:
✔ Religious Differences:
✔ Historical Differences:
✔ Religious Differences:
✔ Language Differences:
✔ Differences in Actual and Potential Target Groups:
The entire project should be documented in a written report which addresses the specific
research questions identified, describes the approach, the research design, data collection,
and data analysis procedures adopted, and present the results and the major findings. The
findings should be presented in a comprehensible format so that they can be readily used
in the decision making process. In addition, an oral presentation should be made to
management using tables, figures, and graphs to enhance clarity and impact.
There is not much of a market for electric cars in India for the next six or seven years. India is a
growing economy so cheaper, smaller cars will rule, The U.S. market is preparing for multiple
electric car launches by the year's end. In India, Reva is building an ambitious facility that can
produce 30,000 electric cars annually. Action is revving up in the e-car space globally and some
of it is spilling over to India as well.
All-electric and plug-in hybrids are off-vehicle charge capable (“OVCC” or pluginable), which
means their batteries can be charged from an off-vehicle electric energy source that cannot be
connected or coupled to the vehicle while the vehicle is being driven (so, it is autonomous).
The concept of battery electric vehicles is to charge batteries on board vehicles for propulsion
using the electric grid.
Battery electric cars are becoming more and more attractive with the advancement of new
battery technology (Lithium Ion) that have higher power and energy density (i.e. greater possible
acceleration and more range with less batteries) and higher oil prices.
1. No air pollutants are emitted directly by the vehicle. This potentially reduces urban
pollution, and the vehicles may be used indoors. This does not take into account
additional pollutants that are emitted if any fossil fuel power plant is used to create the
electricity, though a centralized pollution source can be dealt with more easily. However,
the refining process for oil into gasoline(petrol) uses large quantities of fuel and energy
2. The engine is much quieter compared to all sorts of internal combustion engines (and
road traffic is the most common source of noise pollution in at least the rich countries) –
even if they don’t reduce tire noise.
3. No noise or air pollution because while idling. This is a large advantage in densely
populated cities, where average speeds are very low due to excessive congestion.
6. Charging can be done at home or at work, eliminating unnecessary time and fuel used to
get to a refueling station.
7. Other than battery replacements, maintenance of an electric car is far cheaper than that of
a fossil fuel burning one, as there is only one moving part, reducing wear and need for
part replacements drastically.
8. Most electric cars lack a clutch and gearbox as electric motors have a very wide power
band; it drives as easily as an automatic.
9. Due to the wide power band, there is no lack of power when the rotation speed of the
motor (measured in RPM) is too low or too high. Maximum power is always available, at
almost any RPM.
10. In many countries, battery-electric vehicles are given tax breaks to encourage their use.
In the UK, there is a £5,000 subsidy on any BEV purchase. Also, BEVs are zero-rated
for Vehicle Excise Duty and do not have to pay the congestion charge in London.
Summary:
International Marketing Research thus links the organization with its future markets. It includes
activities such as specification, gathering, analysis, and interpretation of information to help the
management understand a particular market, identify the market specific problems and
opportunities, and develop courses of marketing action.
The research activity must recognize the country specific diversity in terms of culture,
demographics, economy, etc. to yield a marketing strategy that will be both applicable and
successful.
Conclusion:
As we had seen number of benefit of the electric cars, there fore in the up coming era definitely
this sector will do well, the demand of these types of cars are relatively high as compared to the
petrol and diesel one. Due to its cost and maintenance charges and also the price of the petrol and
the diesel are are too high.
Therefore the company like Reva which are dealing this business should be doing well in this
sector in future the big company like Tata can also go for it as they have invented the low cost
car which is doing well. but that is of petrol model. which will further lead in some problem.
