Motivation as a psychological force

Motivation is the driving force within individuals that impels them to action. This driving force is produced by a state of tension, which exists as the result of an unfulfilled need. Individuals strive both consciously and subconsciously to reduce this tension through behavior that they anticipate will fulfill their needs and thus relieve them of the stress they feel. The specific goals they select and the patterns of action they undertake to achieve their goals are the results of individual thinking and learning.

Needs

Every individual has needs: some are innate, others are acquired. Innate needs are physiological (i.e., biogenic); they include the needs for food, water, air, clothing, shelter, and sex. Because they are needed to sustain biological life, the biogenic needs are considered primary needs or motives.

Acquired needs

Acquired needs are needs that we learn in response to our culture or environment. These may include needs for self-esteem, prestige, affection, power, and learning. Because acquired needs are generally psychological (i.e., psychogenic), they are considered secondary needs or motives.

MODEL OF THE MOTIVATION PROCESS

Capture

Goals:

Goals are the sought-after results of motivated behavior. As motivation Process indicated, all behavior is goal oriented. Our discussion of motivation in this chapter is in part concerned with generic goals, that is, the general classes or categories of goals that consumers see as a means to fulfill their needs. If a student tells his parents that he wants to become a medical doctor, he has stated a generic goal. If he says he wants to get an M.D. degree from UCLA, he has expressed a product-specific goal. Marketers are particularly concerned with product-specific goals, that is, the specifically branded products and services that consumers select for goal fulfillment.

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MOTIVATION

Motivation can be positive or negative in direction. We may feel a driving force toward some object or condition or a driving force away from some object or condition. for example, a person may be impelled toward a restaurant to fulfill a hunger need, and away from motorcycle transportation to fulfill a safety need.

Some psychologists refer to positive drives as needs, wants, or desires and to negative drives as fears or aversions. However, although positive and negative motivational forces seem to differ dramatically in terms of physical (and sometimes emotional) activity, they are basically similar in that both serve to initiate and sustain human behavior. For this reason, researchers often refer to both kinds of drives or motives as needs, wants and desires. Some theorists distinguish wants from needs by defining wants as product-specific needs. Others differentiate between desires, on the one hand, and needs and wants on the other. Thus, there is no uniformly accepted distinction among the terms needs, wants, and desires.

Weaknesses:

The test of the product is not supported to the consumers. They could not feel to drienk compare with other brand. Sometimes their owen opinion about the packaging which is poor then Pran Juice. Less Product classifications. Opportunities.  Too much competition from international organizations, for example Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, RC-Cola, Virgin Cola, Rasna (India), Shezan (Pakistan) etc

Existing competitor of the current market is not that much strong which the pran company has.

Pran can be export to other countries.

Existing distribution channel is being used.

High growth rate in this industry.

Threats

Competitor can produce the same product.

Downward pressure on pricing.

Political instability, economy etc.

Shezan gives lower price which might be Threats

Conclusion & Recommendation

According to the above explanation I can say that the ACME Laboratories Ltd. is challenging business. Although the test of the juice is not preferable to the customer but thy do not den-nay fully. It is familiar in Bangladesh and also reach in everywhere  where the company use just-in-time in Bangladesh. Just-in time provides ensure to sell the products within contract period. For that a company acquires well reputation in the market. Besides customers also get quality product with reasonable cost & their required time. But its true that some customers do like the flavor with test.  I know everything has both good sides as well as bad sides. It is the very important that which is providing better thing for what. In that case we also consider some problems if we get more opportunity. That’s why based on the company situation, company should follow and overcome the weakness.
