,Four
senior
managers
said
the
following
about
marketing
in
their
organisation:
-‐ Nothing
has
more
influence
on
the
success
of
this
company
than
marketing.
Our
rapid
growth
is
primarily
due
to
a
well-‐developed
marketing
strategy.
-‐ Market
research
and
marketing
are
indispensable
in
this
industry,
particularly
since
the
buying
behaviour
of
customers
is
constantly
changing.
-‐ We
are
known
as
a
dynamic
and
progressive
company.
Our
international
expansion
was
the
result
of
a
pure
marketing
decision.
Marketing
is
central
in
our
planning.
-‐ When
I
talk
about
marketing
planning,
I
am
talking
about
the
selection
of
the
right
markets
and
products
in
other
words,
the
most
fundamental,
strategic
choices
our
company
has
to
make.
Marketing
builds
a
bridge
between
production
and
consumption.
The
differences
between
selling
and
marketing.
Selling:
to
get
rid
of
what
you
have
on
the
shelves.
Marketing:
make
sure
that
what
you
have
on
the
shelves
is
what
the
customer
wants.
The
purpose
of
marketing
is
to
get
know
and
understand
the
customer
so
well
that
the
product
is
precisely
what
the
customer
wants.
A
definition
of
marketing.
Think
of
Heineken
for
example,
which
markets
not
only
lager,
but
also
bock
beer,
white
beer,
low-‐calorie
and
other
types
of
beer.
The
brand
Heineken
consists
of
different
types
of
names
and
brands,
so
consumers
can
always
drink
their
favourite
beer
at
home
and
in
bars.
The
brewery
conducts
marketing
research
to
find
out
which
outlets
sell
its
products
and
what
kinds
of
beer
different
groups
of
consumers
prefer.
As
a
marketing-‐
oriented
company
Heineken
also
makes
sure
that
its
many
products
are
sold
in
the
right
stores,
that
the
prices
are
neither
too
high
nor
too
low
and
that
potential
byers
know
what
kinds
of
specialty
beers
are
available
at
different
times
of
the
year.
So
marketing
requires
not
only
an
appropriate
product,
but
also
the
right
type
of
distribution,
the
right
price
and
the
right
kind
of
promotion.
Together
these
factors
make
up
the
so-‐called
marketing
mix.
If
any
of
these
four
elements
is
lacking,
a
product
will
not
achieve
the
sales
and
profit
objectives
as
listed
in
its
annual
plan
or
marketing
plan.
Not
only
will
the
company
fail
to
maximise
sales
and
profits,
the
target
market
(the
potential
buyers
for
whom
the
product
was
intended)
will
probably
be
left
with
unsatisfied
needs
and
wants.
