1.3. Characteristics of B2B demand
- Derived demand
o The demand for a good or service that results from the demand for another
good or service
o The chain of derived demand (zie tekening)
o Example Ryanair: huge demand for flights huge demand for seats they
have not enough seats invest in more potential seats need more
airplaines producing more components
- Price elasticity
o A change in price causes a bigger % change in demand
o good price elastic: when an increase in prices causes a bigger % fall in demand
e.g. if price falls 20% and demand increases 80%
the PED = -4.0 (PED = Price Elasticity of Demand)
o Remarkable example: E-bikes battery
The price of e-bikes increases with 20%
But the demand for e-bikes is nevertheless increasing with 50%
This is special
- Joint Demand
o Demand for product or services is interdependent on each other
o Ex: Coffee Powder, Sugar & Milk in Making Coffee
o Ex: Software- Operating System, Car & Fuel
o Ex: Gillette: shaving foam and the shaver
- Price inelasticity
o No hard link between consumption of a product and the price
o Change in price causes a smaller % change in demand there are less alternatives
o Example: if price of petrol falls 30%, but demand for petrol only increases 10%
1.4. Who are the B2B buyers?
- Commercial business: Industry and services
- Government: Local (ex. equipments for parks), national (military airplane) and supra national
- Institutes (equipments for schools, hospitals)
1.5. Understanding B2B market and environment with
buyers perspective

compensating and (if necessary) dismissing or laying off personnel

technical knowledge brought to bear in the firm’s transformation of
inputs into outputs
o Infrastructure
serves the company’s needs and ties its various parts together
accounting, legal, finance, planning, public affairs, government
relations, quality assurance, and general management
- Marketing and service: what the competition is about, very important
2.Procurement process
- To supply the organization with a flow of materials and service to meet its needs
- To ensure continuity of supply by maintaining effective relationships with existing
sources and by developing other sources of supply either as alternatives or to meet
emerging or planned needs
o You supply to companies because they have the need for your product and
they depend on you for their product service and continuity
- To buy efficiently and wisely, obtaining by ethical means the best value for every € spent
- To maintain sound cooperative relationships with other departments providing
information and advice as necessary to ensure the effective operation of the
organization as a whole
o Some companies buy very cheap raw materials maybe child labor
- To develop staff, policies, procedures and organization to ensure the achievement of
these objectives
o The same vision for the whole company
