Lecture 1
Invisible hand = the route most people choose to invest the money in, which has the most
value. So not so much invisible, it is just the manager who decides where to create value for
customers. Adam Smith: consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production.
Marketing concept = the key to achieving organizational goals is being more effective than
competitors in creating, delivering and communicating superior customer value to your
target markets.
- Identifying market segments/target market. Not for everybody. Just large group of
people with specific need.
- Challenge to be more effective than competitor: do it better, better understand market
and customers. Then you can be successful.

Quantitative marketing models
Use it because:
- Marketeers are held accountable

Identifying competition:
- Differentiation (what you do to an offering): creating tangible or intangible
differences on one or more attributes between a focal offering and its main
competitors
- Positioning: a set of strategies a firm develops to differentiate its offering in the
minds of its target customers. Successful positioning will result in the offering
occupying a distinct, important, and sustainable position in the minds of the target
customers.
Realize:
1. Customers decide tradeoffs decide which drink they want. And which brand.
Customer decides what the competition is.
Competition is decided by customers
2. Level of competition: determines your
marketing strategy. Four types of
levels.
a. Convince on brand – product
category competition (coke,
fanta)
b. Convince on product – product
form competition (diet and
normal coke)
c. Convince on way to satisfy –
generic competition (other
beverages)
, d. Convince on cost-benefit – budget competition (rentals) – show it is the best
(appropriate) way to spend their money.
Identify competitors with data
How to identify competitors:
- Brand-switching analysis: two questions and make a matrix. How many will switch
from brand and how many will stay. Competition is determined by the tradeoff that
customers make.
o The two questions should be independent (not related)
o Consumer judgement: SPSS (cross tabulation between the two questions
from current to future). Compare last row with last column.
- Chi-square test: shows whether there is a relationship between the two questions.
Shows whether the answers that you actually get are different if there would not have
been a relationship between the two questions.
o Calculate expected count in every cell = share first/total * share second/total *
total (number of people in the sample)
o So here: 64/180 * 54/180 * 180 = 19.2
- Standardized residuals: (O-E)/SQR E, so, observed number – expected count /
square root of the expected count.
o Standardized residuals > 1.96 in absolute value are significant (brand choice
is not random relative to market share)
o If not significant value: all are very close to zero, which means that the
customers are not loyal and will switch easily.
o Here it is 6.8, so significant (can see that when looking at the diagonal)
