Definition of marketing by the American Marketing Association:

an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stake holders.

Marketing practices vary depending on the type of company and the products and services it sells.

Why Marketing is Critical for Entrepreneurs

Because no venture can become established and grow without a customer market;

Because it is difficult and expensive to bring new products and services to market;

To differentiate product or service to customers makes the company distinctive and valuable;

Companies must be able to switch marketing gears quickly to attract new customer segments.

Disadvantages to existing companies entering new markets• Core rigidities: companies are only good at

things they are used to doing• Tyranny of the current market: companies

listen to their customers, who are not a source of ideas for new products in new markets

• Use myopia: customers of existing firms see needs or solutions very narrowly (i.e., not the needs of others)

Disadvantages to existing companies entering new markets• Because large companies have these

disadvantages with new markets, new ventures should focus on new markets instead of established ones

Market dynamics

• Entrepreneurs are more successful in large and growing markets– Large markets amortize the fixed costs of

getting started over a larger number of units– It’s easier to sell into rapidly growing markets

Market dynamics

• The performance of product adoption follows an S shape– Initially, need a large amount of effort to

achieve small improvements in product performance

– Then performance improvements accelerate and small efforts can lead to large improvements

– Later, must make large efforts to achieve small improvements

Market dynamics

• Established firms rarely compete with entrepreneurs to develop new products on the early part of the S curve– The new product usually begins with inferior

performance that hurts the company’s overall performance

– Managers of established companies believe they can always improve the performance of their existing products to compete with new products
