ANSWERS

166.  (a) There  has been a strong trend towards using customer relationship management
          (CRM) systems, to mine customer data, particularly when undertaking research into
          characterizing customer groups and their product/ service  usage.
167 (b) Primary research is research conducted for the first time, involving the collection
         of data for the purpose of a particular project…
168 (b) `Social grade’ refers to a system of classification of consumers based on their socio
         -economic grouping.  `Social grade’ was originally developed for the National
          Readership Survey (NRS) in the 1950s.  Social grade is a means of classifying the
          population by the type of work they do based on the occupation of the chief income
          earner (the member of the household with the largest income).
169. (d) The `up-dator’ purchasing strategy is based on collaboration in research and
         development.  Here, collaboration between partners is continuous and the nature of
          the relationship is not a dyad but a supply network.
170 (b)  One’s friends and relatives could be considered a reference group.  Consumers
         learn through imitation (i.e. social learning).  We’ve learnt, for instance, by observing
         and copying out parents and friends.  As consumers we may consider our opinions,
         attitudes, values, and behavior patterns in relation to those of our reference groups.
         Reference groups are those groups `that the individual tends to use as an anchor point
         for evaluating his her own beliefs and attitudes.  A reference group may be positive; i.e.
        the individual patterns his or her own beliefs and behavior to be congruent with those
         of the group, or it may be negative;
171.   (b)        172  (d)        173  (b)        174  (b)      175  (d)   176  (a)     177  (a)

178  (a)            179  (c)       180  (a)       181 (a)     181  (c)   182   (e)

183.  (d)  Mobile Banking (Mobile Banking refers to SMS sending on customer’s request and
          without requests.

184.   (d)         185.   (b)        186.   (c)     187.  (c)    188.   (a)     189.   (a)    190.  (a)

191.  (d)  Though you worked hard for the arrangement but your work is not upto the mark
          according to your senior.  You should approach him, once he calms down, asking for
          his feed back and assuring him of being in future.  Feed backs are the best way to
          improve.

192.  (b)  The best way to avoid any chaos or embarrassment is to share your problem with
           one of your close friends and ask him or her to pay for now, assuring him that you
           will pay back the very next day.
193.  (a)  Since the bank is upcoming private bank so its brand image is valuable for you as
           well as for every employee.  Considering the several written complains from the
            valued customers, it is best to first punish the concerned employee momentarily and
           if the problem persists then employee can be sacked.  Calling the employee will not
           solve  the problem as he can never tell anything against himself.  Option (d) will be
           time consuming procedure.  So, answer is (a).
194.  (c) As lady is very apprehensive and nervous, so it requires your immediate response,
           albeit it is best to take help from an extent like a psychologist in this situation.  Also to
            prevent unlawful activities at the early stage as a responsible citizen your immediate
           action should be to give counseling to that teenager boy.  So answer is (c).
195.  (c)  Whenever question is associated with financial implication, you must consider the
          Cannons of financial propriety.  As it is a public money so you have to spend it
           judiciously.  So you cannot accept the lowest offer as it is three times higher than the
          approved rate.  It is best to reject the proposal and refloat the tender. Now again if the
          same price comes then you can refer the matter to the higher authority and wait for
          their approval.  In general Price negotiation is ethically not permitted.  So,
          answer is (c).
196. (b) Here you don’t know, who is in more  need of the vaccine.  So it is imperative to
           take advice from a specialists i.e., a doctor.  So, after the advice of doctor, you can give
           medicine to the more needy person.  Not giving medicine to any one is an unwise
            step.  So asking both to approach a doctor and get an input about the urgency is the
            best action.  So, answer is (b).
197.  (c) Deputy Commissioner needs to react only if information comes through proper
           channel.  So, answer is (c).
198.  (b) Whenever you are facing personal problems, doing the things deviating from
           normal Course of work, you must inform to your senior and seek concurrence.  So,
           answer is (b).
199. (d) It is true that General Manager of a bank does not have solution to these type of
          problems spontaneously but being on such a responsible post, he/ she should never
          tell the person that he cannot do anything about their requests or problems.  People
           have come to you with some problem so you must assure them of an enquiry into the
          matter.  Asking them to lodge a written complaint in the police station is like moving
          away from taking responsibilities.  Since you bank had started the project it’s your
         duty to take help of police to enquire into the matter.  So, answer is (d).
200. (b) It is mentioned in the question that work is very important and time is limited.
          Since you meet with an accident, so it’s your responsibility to inform department
          about it mentioning your inability to finish on time.  Staying away and not informing
         department may lead to disciplinary action.  It is not mentioned in the question that
         whether department knows about your accident or not.  If department knows it and
          event then insists to complete the task then it is better to ask for an extension of dead
         line.  Suggesting alternate person is also not right.  Department will choose alternative
         option in your absence.  So your first job is to inform headquarters about the accident           
         mentioning your inability to finish on time.  So answer is (b).
