BASICS OF MARKETING
3 PREMISES:
- Customer orientation: the primary focus of the organization is on the needs of the
customer.
- Organizational integration: everyone in the organization accepts and implements a
customer orientation. It is not just the responsibility of the marketing department.
- Mutually beneficial exchange: these has to be a balance between the needs of the
customer and the strengths of an organization so that it too can get its needs met.
MARKETING AND ITS CHALLENGES
- Sometimes marketing doesn’t seem to work – crisis offline retailing
- Sometimes new successful businesses pop up that are not developed from
marketing research but from individual intuition – Apple.
- Marketing can be non-social business: only looking at the customer and the
company- Philip Morris)
ORIENTATIONS
- Product orientation
- Production orientation: producing as efficiently as possible.
- Sales orientation: being different from competitors, making an emphasis on having
as many sales as possible – how do we get people to buy out product?
- Marketing orientation: having the customers perspective and adapting in order to
satisfy those needs, this then results in the creation of value on the product.
- Cocreation: Looking at customers wants and adapting the product to them, similar
to creating with the customer.
- Stakeholder orientation: Taking into account societies wants and harming as less as
possible.

strategy, tactics and implementation phase of your plan.

MODELS AND THEIR USE
Marketing is about creating value using the 4P’s (Price, Place, Product, Promotion)
PRESTCOM:
- PESTEL/PREST/DEPEST: Macro environment
- FIVE FORCES: Meso environment (Competition and Market)

cultural differences.
