Project Report A: Research Project Proposal
My search topics.
The concept of "buying behavior" is of prime importance in marketing and has evolved over the years. It is important to understand consumer buying behavior as it plays a vital role in crating an impact on purchase of products. The human wants are unlimited and always expect more and more. Mobile handsets are no exception to this behavior. This lead to constant modifications of mobile handsets and today we see a new model coming into the market practically every month.
In this research study our findings gave us thorough insights of consumer buying behavior of mobile handsets by conducting survey research with 100 BTEC students in Dimensions International College. I
