 Concept & Definition of Insurance

 Purpose & need of Insurance
 Nature & importance of perception
 Factors influencing perception
15
Life is full of uncertainties due to different types of risks like death, accidents, loss of health,
property, floods, fire, earthquakes and so an. Every day some unfavorable events do happen
which cause anxiety to be life and disturbs one peace of mind. Insurance is the answer to these
types of risks and uncertainties. Insurance is based on principle that group of person exposed to
similar type of risk join together and pool their resources to help few unfortunate ones and meet
the loss. It is the process in which many people who are equally exposed to some risks share
losses of few.
Insurance is method, which provides security and protection against financial loss up to
some limit. It means shifting risks to insurers in consideration of nominal cost called premium.
Insurer agrees top pay certain sum of money to compensate loss caused by occuence of uncertain
event in consideration of certain periodical payments i.e. Premium.
Functional Definition
16
According to R.S. Sharma = “Insurance is co-operative device to spread
loss caused by particulars risk over number of persons who are exposed to it,
who agree to insure themselves against that risk”.
Legal Definition
According To F.W Pattern = “Insurance is contract by which one party
for compensation called premium assumes particular risks of other party and
promise to pay to him or his nominees a certain or ascertainable sum of
money on a specified contingency.”
Fundamental Definition
According DS Hansel = “Insurance may be defined as social device
providing financial compensation for effects of misfortune the payment being
made from the accumulated contributions of all parties participating in the
scheme”.
1. Assets are insured, because they are likely to be destroyed or made non-financial through
an accidentals occurrence. Such possible occurrences are called perils. Fire floods,
breakdowns, lighting, Earthquakes etc. are perils that the assets is exposed to.
2. The risk only means that there is a possibly of loss or damage. It may or may not happen.
There has to be an uncertainly about risk. Insurance is done against the contingency that
it may happen. Insurance is relevant only if that is no uncertainly about occurrence of an
event, it can not be insured against.
3. Conceptually, the mechanism of insurance is very sample. People who were exposed to
some risks come together, agree that if anyone of the numbers suffers a loss the other will
share the loss, and make good to the person who lost/ all people who send goods by ship.
are exposed to the same risk related to water damage, ship risking, Piracy, etc. those
owing factories are not exposed to these risks, but they are exposed to different kinds of
risks like are exposed to different kinds of risks like fire, earthquakes, lighting, burglary
etc. like the different kinds of risks can be identified and separate groups made including
those exposed to such risks. By their method the risk is spread among community and
likely big impact on one is reduced to smaller manageable impacts on all.
4. The manner in which loss is to, be shared can be determined before hand. It may be
proportional O likely loss that each person is likely suffer which is indicative of the
17
benefit he would receive if the peril benefit him. The share could be collected from the
members after the loss has occurred or the likely shares may be collected in advance, at
the time of admission to the group. Insurance companies collect in advance and create a
fund from which thaw losses are paid.
5. A human life is also an income – generating asset. This asset also can be lost through
unexpectedly early death or made nonfunctional through sickness and disabilities caused
by accidents. Accidents mayor may not happen. Death will happen, but the time is
uncertain. If it happens around the time of one’s retirement when it could be expected
that the income would normally cease, the person concerned could once have made some
other arrangements to meet the continuing needs. However, if it happens much earlier
when the alternate arrangements to meet the continuing needs, insurance is necessary to
help those dependents on the income.
6. In the case of a human being he may have arranged for his needs after his retirement.
These would have been made based on some expectation like he may live for another 15
days or that his children will look after him. If any of this expectation does not be come
true, the original arrangement would become inadequate and there could be difficulties.
Living too long can be much a problem as dying to young.
7. Insurance does not protect the asset. It does not prevent its due to the peril. The peril
cannot be avoided through insurance. The peril can sometimes be avoided through better
safety and damage control management. Insurance only tries to reduce the impact of the
risk on the owner of the asset and those who depend on that asset. It compensates, may
not be fully, the losses. Only economic or financial losses can be compensated.
8. The concept of insurance has been extended beyond the coverage of tangible assets.
Exporters run the risk of the importers in the country de faulting as well as losses due to
sudden changes in currency exchange rates economics policies or political disturbances.
These risks are now insured. Doctors run the risk of being charged with negligence and
subsequent liability to bear. There are insured. Thus insurance is extended to intangibles.
In some countries the voice of a singer or the legs of a dancer may be insured, although
the advantage of spread may not be available in these cases.
The concept of perception is closely related to the personality of a person. We know that people
working in an organization differ in terms of physical characteristics, background characteristics
18
(such as training and education) and personality traits. One of the consequences of such of
differences is that people do not view things in same way. Perception is described as a person’s
view of reality. Every person perceives the world and approaches life problems differently. The
opinion about and the evaluation of a particular event differ from person to person. Reactions of
the people, to different situation, are also different. The reason that people behave on the basis
of what they perceive reality to be and not necessarily as what reality is. Perception is one of the
most important psychological factors affecting the human behaviour; because perception is the
way an individual experiences the situation.
Perception is the process thought, which the information for outside environment is selected,
received, organized and interpreted to make it meaningful to you. This input of meaningful
information results in decision and action.
ACCORDING TO JOSEPH REITZ, “perception includes all those processes

by which an individual receives information about his environment –seeing, hearing,
feeling, testing and smelling. The study 0f these perceptual processes shows that their
functioning is affected by three classes of variables- the objects or events being perceived,
the environment in which perception occurs and the individuals doing the perceiving ”.
Perception Refers To Interpretation of Sensory Data. In Other Words, Sensation Involves

Detecting the Presence Of A stimulus whereas perception involves understanding what stimulus
means. For example, when we see something, the visual stimulus is light energy reflected from
external world and eye becomes sensor. This visual image of external thing becomes perception
when it is interpreted in the visual cortex of brain. Thus, visual perception refers to interpreting
the image of external world projected on retina of eye and constructing a model of three-
dimensional world.
Perception is determined by both physiological and psychological characteristics of human being

whereas sensation is conceived with only physiological features. Thus, perception is not just
what one sees with eyes it is much more complex process by which an individual selectively
absorbs or assimilates the stimuli in the environment, cognitively organizes the perceived
information in specific fashion and then interprets the information to make an assessment about
what is going on in one’s environment Perception is very important in understanding the human
behavior, because every person perceives the world and approaches the life problems differently.
Whatever we see or feel is not necessarily the same as it reality is. It is because what we hear is
not what is reality said, but we perceive as being said. When we buy something, it is not because
it is the best, but because we take it takes it to be the best. Thus, it is because of perception, we
can find out why one individual finds a job satisfying while another one may not be satisfied
with it.
19
If people behave on the basis of their perception, we can predict their behavior in the changed
circumstances by understanding their present perception of the environment. One person may be
viewing the facts in one way, which may be different from facts as seen by another viewer. With
the help of perception, the needs of various people can be determined, because people’s
perception is influenced by their needs. Like the mirrors at amusements park, they distort and
world in relation to this tensions. Perception is every important for the manager who wants to
making errors when dealing with people and events in the work setting. This problem is made
more complicated by the facts that different people perceive the same situation differently. In
order to deal with the subordinates effectively, the managers must understand their perceptions
properly.
Perception of an individual is influenced by a number of factors. He has a different

perception because he has a different personality, different background and set of experience. All
these factors may be classified as follows:-
(I) Physiology (II) Family (III) culture (IV) Stress (V) Group Pressure (VI) Interaction (VII)
Role (VII) Reference Group (IV) Organizational Position and (X) Reward system.
 Physiology
Perception of an individual is influenced by his or physiological conditions. For instance a
glorious sunrise may look like so many shades of gray or black to a person who is colour-blind
or an enchanting music not is impressive to one who is hard of hearing.
 Family
The perception of an individual is influenced considerably by the family in which he has been
brought up. In the family when the child has seen every elder telling a lie or drinking heavily, he
will perceive these vices as the normal way of life. Similarly, the child of a believer will be a:
believer and of an atheist a non-believer. The child develops the attitudes and the value system
generally prevalent in the family.
 Culture
The society and culture in which one live has an indelible impact on his attitudes, values and
way of perceiving the world. A person living in a nomadic society in jungles will not feel scared
of wild animals; similarly, a cow to a Hindu us the animal to worship and not to eat as beef as
compared to a European Film songs on the radio are considered essential to some young men and
20
women to keep the mood intact whereas they are a source of distraction to others, the other
cultural variation is that many wealthy Americans and Europeans have abandoned the life style
of luxury to find peace and Happiness by joining such clans as ISKON or Mahesh Yogi;
conversely these are Indians who aspire for wealth and luxury to get happiness.
 Stress
Stress is a situation, which is created by the pressure of environments. It is uncommon situation,
which a person confronts. Sometimes stress helps in perceiving things in proper perspective and
more often it leads to less accurate impressions. For instance a student learns well under stress of
examination more often the same stress in the wrong perception. A cracking sound of wooden
plank in the night makes the person to perceive it as he entry of a burglar in the house.
 Group Pressure
The perception of an individual (minority) changes with the majority to be in conformity with
the group. More often his perception automatically changes when he finds that others do not
share his beliefs, attitudes or perception. Conversely if he finds that there are some who fall in
line with him, he will try to estimate the effect of majority. S E.ASCH conducted studies to
estimate the effect of group pressure upon the modification and distortment of judgment. It will
however, be relevant to point that the effect of the group pressure depends on the extent of clarity
with which the group pressure depends on the extent of clarity with which the group is exercised.
If the ambiguity exists in the group’s stand the individual may stick to his guns.
 Interaction
Interaction among group members helps in improving perception about a person or situation. The
interaction provides opportunity for sifting and sharpening perception. Leadership style also
affects perceptual process of the group members. If he follows autocratic style, the group
members will gradually develop perception as usually dictated by the leader. Conversely, if
democratic style is practiced, group members may comprehend perception on merit due to proper
interaction.
 Role
Role and perception are related if the role is properly perceived. A person is the son, father,
husband, student, brother etc. Hence he will have differently in different role. Hence while
perceiving the behavior of a person, his role has to be taken into account otherwise the
perception about the person will be wrong. For instance, if a grown-up man a talking to his
father, he should not be considered to be a person having complex, lack of initiate or too docile
to have any enterprise. Similar problem arises when members of organization perceive
organization’s role differently. For instance, the policy of the organization is punctually. Each
member is expected to come in time and leave the workplace in time. Anybody coming late is
expected to lose proportional wage. This role of organization may be perceived as a deliberate
punitive and vindictive act towards labour rather than reformatory in character.
 Reference Groups
Many people use groups of clarity or mind their perception. Groups are expected to perform
normative and comparative functions. When an individual, for instance, wants to be identified as
21
a member of an elitist group. he would study the qualities and behavior pattern of such
members of the group, try to emulate to be accepted as the member of the group. This is known
as no motive function. There may also be comparative function of a reference group under which
the person may like to be different. For instance a person would not like to be associated with a
group of vagabonds. It is knows as comparative function of the reference group. There may be
reference groups within the organizations. These reference groups within the organizations.
 Organizational Position
The position held by an individual in organizations. Influences his perception. A production
manager will view every problem in the organizations. From the production angle and an
economic consultant from economic angle. Similarly, an economist will give economic
interpretation of a political phenomenon in the same manner as a sociologist will find a
sociological in the linguistic or biology.
 Reward System
Reward system in organizations. Has an impact on individual behavior which is preceded by the
perception process. If the individual knows that hard work devotion, innovation or productivity
are recognized and rewarded in the organizations. His behavior will definitely be induced and
influenced by the reward system. It is his perception of the reward system that motivates him
does more work.

 Perceptual Set or Perceptual Tendencies

An individual uses different devices for perception purpose, which are also called perceptual
sets. These devices or sets develop a tendency to behave in a particulars predictable way. These
are also known as devices to manipulate perceptual data. Some of the devices are (i)
22
Stereotyping, (ii) The Halo effect, (iii) Projection, (iv) Perceptual defense, (V) Expectancy, (VI)
Selective perception, (VII) Perceptual readiness, (III) Implicit personality and (IX) Attribution.
 Stereotyping
The term stereotype has been derived from the vocabulary of a printing press. In a printing press
when a printing plate so made from a previously composed type it is called stereotype or the
type, which has again been used. In 1922, it was Walter lip Mann who applied this term to
perception. Stereotyping may be stated as tendency of a person to conclude that the perception
of another person in influenced by the social group to which the belongs. The social grouping
may be according to sex, race, religion, occupation or organization. Other common stereotype
groups may be managers, supervisors, creditors, shareholders, politicians, union members and
engineers. There is general agreement about the traits of each category of persons, yet there may
be discrepancy. For instance it is generally thought that union members are hotheaded and the
personnel managers are conciliatory and persuasive. Americans are materialistic and Indians are
spiritualistic; Japanese are extremely nationalistic and the Germans are industrious. In spite of
these generalizations each union member, Personnel Manager, American, Indian, Japanese and
German may not necessarily possess the traits identified for each of these categories of people.
Stereotyping is not concerned with positive or negative traits, which the perceiver may attribute
to the person on the basis of social grouping of the person so perceived.
Stereotyping though helpful in social perception in a general manner suffers from a number of
imperfections; firstly, traits attributed to an individual on the basis of his group affiliation may be
different in actual practice, Secondly, the perceiver may not go beyond the conventional traits
attributable to his social affiliation. Other traits, which are not attributed to the group, cannot be
though of causing thereby a lot of distortions. Thirdly, the perceiver’s personal prejudice and
bias in favor or against a particular group will condition his perception to overshadow the
elements in reality.
 The Halo Effect

The halo effect influences perception in a big way. In stereotyping a person is perceived on the
basis of his social classification; under halo he is perceived on the basis of a single trait.
The single trait will condition the entire process of perception about another person. For instance
an ambitious man may be intelligent, devoted, aggressive and punctual. Hence if an intelligent
man commits a mistake, our reaction will be ‘‘to err is human’’. But when another person who is
not intelligent repeats the same mistake, our reaction will be that ‘‘nothing more could be
expected of him in similar circumstances’’.
 Projection
Under given conditions people attribute their own feelings and characteristics to others. For
instance, a dishonest and corrupt man will perceive others as dishonest and corrupt. In other
words, he projects his own feeling and traits in others.
 Perceptual Defense
More often a person may create a defense against stimuli or situational events. In ‘other words,
he blocks or refuses to perceive the situational event. In other words he blocks or refuses to
23
perceive the incompatible to his way of thinking. In this manner perceptual defense may play an
important role in understanding labor arrangement or superior-subordinate relationship. Bruner
and postman have found in their study a blockade to perceiving personally threatening words
whereas Mc Ginning “raised identification thresholds for critical emotionally toner word.”
In other words, it may be stated that people rightly consider it feasible “to avoid perceiving
certain conflicting, threatening or unacceptable aspects” of event or phenomena. To what extent
it is correct as a debatable issue. It may, however, be stated that perceptual defense may lead to
keep the man in his own ivory tower who deliberately refuses to face reality in life.
 Expectancy
Expectancy is the process whereby the person expects others to perceive what he wants them to
perceive. This is also called self-fulfilling prophecy. For instance, Rosenthal in his classic
experiment told his students that be had identified in his laboratory two groups of rats one
intelligent and two stupid. In actual life there was no such demarcation but when the students
were asked to conduct a study, they could tell that such and such rat was more intelligent than in
others who are stupid. Students could only see what teacher expected them to see.
 Selective Perception
Selective Perception is yet another device to influence perception. Sometime a perceiver draws
unwarranted conclusions from an ambiguous situation. Under selective perception, perceiver’s
conclusions are based on the selective phenomena or events rather than the totality of the
situation. In this state, he is apt to perceive incorrectly also by ignoring other facts. For instance,
it is wrong to conclude that a firm is unviable as it is passing through the gestation period.
 Perception Readiness
Generally people perceive what they want or expect to perceive. Consequently they select and
interpret stimuli in the light of the past perceptual history and the present state of motivational
dynamics. This tendency is known as perceptual readiness. For instance, the Production Manager
may perceive even the problem of declining sale as production problem. This is the instance of
past perceptual history.
Similarly motivation also effects perception; this may be stated that people only see what they to
see. A hungry man will be more receptive to the stimuli relating to food; whether it is a picture
showing food items, or the odour of food cooking or the discussion about food. He is likely to
interpret ambiguous stimuli also as relating to food.
 Implicit Personality
While judging another person, individual’s perception is influenced by his belief that one human
trait is associated with another. For instance, a person’s trait of hard working will go with
honestly. It means hard working trait goes with the trait of honestly.
24
 First Impression
First Impression about the person or phenomenon creates an indelible impression on individual’s
perception unless it is vehemently contradicted. The perception about an individual as thief
created on the basis of fist impression will be doubted a thief in sub sequent thefts also, though
he may not actually be involved in the incident of theft.

Company has different priorities at different life stages. When young, we are willing to take a
risk in our investments, with expectations of high returns. As we shoulder the responsibility of a
family, we become little cautious, preferring a mix of both risk and safety of investment.
Towards the end of our working life, we look towards our post retirement security and are happy
with the preservation of our hard-earned savings.

equity and debt. More importantly, it changes according to our life stage profile-age, risk
tolerance, etc. However, the discipline of making the right Asset Allocation at various life stages
requires the expertise and dedicated time of someone who can manage your money on a day-to-
