,1 Introduction to Marketing Management
1 Scope of Marketing for New Realities
The American Marketing Association defines marketing as “the activity, set of institutions,
and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have
value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large”. The aim of marketing is “to know
and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself”.
Marketers market 10 main types of entities: goods, services, events, experiences, persons,
places, properties, organizations, information, and ideas.
The term market is used to describe customer groups. There’s need markets, product
markets, demographic markets, geographic markets, or voter markets, labor markets, and
donor markets. Four key customer markets are consumer, business, global, and nonprofit.
Some core marketing concepts are
● Needs, Wants and Demands
Needs are basic human requirements, which become wants when directed to
specific objects that might satisfy the need. Demands are wants for specific
wants, backed by ability to pay. We can distinguish five types of needs:
stated, real, unstated, delight, and secret needs.
● Target Markets, Positioning, and Segmentation
A market offering should be developed for each target market and be
positioned in target buyer’s minds as delivering benefits.
● Offerings and Brands
Customer needs are addressed by developing a value proposition. A brand
is an offering from a known source.
● Marketing Channels
There are three types of channels: Communication channels, Distribution
channel, and Service channels
● Paid, Owned and Earned Media
There are three categories of media: Paid (TV, magazine and display ads),
Owned (FB page, website), and Earned (word of mouth, buzz)
● Impressions and Engagement
Impressions occur when consumers view a communication. Engagement is
the extent of a customer’s attention and active involvement with a
communication (likes, retweets)
● Value and Satisfaction
The customer value triad c onsists of quality, service and price. The buyer
chooses the offerings they perceive to have the best value.
● Supply Chain
A longer channel stretching from raw materials to components to finished
products carried to final buyers.

, ● Competition
Competition includes all the actual and potential rival offerings and
substitutions a buyer might consider.
● Marketing Environment
Consists of the task environment (actors engaged in producing, distributing
and promoting the offering) and broad environment.
The book focuses on three transformative forces: Technology, Globalization, and Social
Responsibility.
A company’s marketing efforts are guided by a philosophy/orientation towards the
marketplace. Common philosophies are Production concept (consumers prefer products
which are widely available and inexpensive); Product concept (consumers prefer products
with best quality, performance or features); Selling concept (products which usually don’t sell
themselves, e.g. insurance. Aggressive selling tactics); Marketing concept (find the right
product for your customers; and Holistic Marketing concept.
The Holistic Marketing Concept acknowledges that everything matters in
marketing. It’s based on four broad components;
● Relationship Marketing
Aims to build mutually satisfying long-term relationships with key constituents
in order to earn and retain their business. The ultimate outcome is a
marketing network, consisting of the company and its supporting stakeholders
● Integrated Marketing
Two key themes are that (1) many different marketing activities can create,
communicate and deliver value; and (2) marketers should design and
implement each marketing activity with all other activities in mind.
● Internal Marketing
The task of hiring, training and motivating able employees.
● Performance Marketing
Performance marketing requires understanding of financial and nonfinancial
returns to business and society from marketing activities and programs.
The four Ps of marketing (product, price, place, and promotion) have been updated to be
more representative of modern marketing realities: people, processes, programs and
performance.
2 Marketing Strategies and Plans
Traditionally, marketing was only taking place during the selling process. More recently
however, the realization has come that the value creation and delivery sequence consist of
three phases: choosing the value, providing the value, and communicating the value.
Marketing is part of every phase.
A firm’s success depends on its ability to coordinate core business processes, like the
market-sensing process, the new-offering realization process, and the customer acquisition
process.
