Explanation of the issues related to purchase and post purchase activities.

The issues related to purchase and post purchase faced by consumer can be better explained by investigating consumer behavior on purchasing anything and after that.
Purchase refers to the action which is taken by consumer to fulfill their need of some product or services by paying its value. When a consumer realizes the needs of anything that consumer used to search for the information related with that product or services, this information includes product quality, brands and alternatives. Consumer takes these steps to make the right decisions. The purchase decision may vary according to the age, gender and education of the consumer.  People purchases different items differently for example online and offline, online purchase happens via internet while offline purchase done personally by consumer through visiting the retailer or manufacturer.
All the experiences and the observation about the product felt by consumer tells more about what the consumer thinks about that product this is known as post purchase behavior. Sometime they feel happy about their decision of purchase and sometimes they regret their decisions this is because of the fact what is the product quality, durability and consumer perception about the product. How the customer feels about a purchase will significantly influence whether he will purchase the product again or consider other products.
Post purchase main problem is related with the level of satisfaction (i.e. quality, warranty etc.) which the consumer draws out by using the product. After this consumer may decide whether to use the product or to return it or to buy it again in future or it must be referred to friends and family for purchase.  Post purchase communication is very important company’s needs to connected with the consumers even after the product purchased by the consumers for satisfying them through best services. If we talk about online post purchase then in this case consumer will notice the delivery time, quality as well as comparison of the product what the consumer watched on internet and what actually in hand and this will decide their level of satisfaction.

Companies need to assure the consumer that the choice made by them is right one and the best one by featuring attributes and benefits of the product. Sometimes it is also needed to train the consumer on how to use the new products (new technologies) by conducting seminars etc.

What are the Crosby’s 14 Steps Work.

The 14 Steps of Crosby are following. 1. Management Commitment= It is necessary to consistently produce quality products and services at the optimum price. This commitment must also be transparent to all employees for the prevention of defects in all the operating departments. 2. Improved Quality= Search for team members who will model quality improvement commitment, every function of an operation must contributes to defect levels, every function must participate in the quality improvement effort . The quality improvement team should be able to effectively commit themselves to improvement of quality. 3. Measuring the Quality= Firstly you have to know exactly where your products and services lie when it comes to conforming to requirements. Thus, the third step on Crosby's list is to measure quality. Determine where there is room for improvement and where potential for improvement exists. 4. Cost of Quality= Explain how the cost of quality figures into the overal...

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income.

Discuss national income and Gross domestic product effect on national income. Before we start to explain let’s take a look on closed and open economy In a closed economy, all output is sold domestically, and expenditure is divided into three components: consumption, investment, and government purchases. Y = C + I + G In this equation Y is the total output, C is the total consumption, I is the total investment and G is the total government expenditure. In an open economy, some output is sold domestically and some are exported abroad.                                                                   Y = C + I + G + NX In the above equation each word stands for is following: Consumption (C) Investment (I) Government Purchases (G) Net Exports (NX) Consumption : The spending by households on goods and services, with the exc...

Define Parametric and Non parametric test. When these tests are used? Also define their sub types along with examples

Explanation: Parametric tests = It is the Procedure of hypothesis which explains that the variables of interest are measured on at least an interval scale. It is parameters defining properties of the population distribution from which one's data are drawn, Uses of Parametric Tests 1: uses in skewed and non-normal distributions=Parametric tests can be used with continuous data that are non-normal if you satisfy these sample size guidelines. For example sample t test (each group should be greater than 15) and in ANOVA (if you have 10 -12 groups then each group should be greater than 20). 2: uses for when spread of each group is different= For nonparametric tests data for all groups must have the same spread (dispersion). If your groups have a different spread, the nonparametric tests might not provide valid results. In parametric tests you’re good to go even when the groups have different spreads. 3: uses as a Power=Parametric tests usually have more statistical power tha...
