“The societal marketing concept holds that the organization's task is to determine the needs, wants, and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors, in a way that preserves or enhances the consumer's and the society's well-being. “
"Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, services, organizations, and events to create and maintain relationships that will satisfy individual and organizational objectives."
How is marketing done in your organization?
• How is marketing currently conducted in your organization? What role does a marketing department have in helping form organizational strategy; how well connected are they with other departments and functions in the organization; how is market information gathered, analyzed and used?
• What are the “change drivers” that have propelled marketing to this position in organizations? Why is strategic marketing so crucial in today's marketplace?
• In your organization, where does marketing fit with strategic planning?
• How aware are employees of the marketing concept and efforts of the marketing department (or whomever does it)?
• Examine your organization's mission statement and define it from product/service perspective as well as marketing perspective (who are the customers & what needs are you committed to satisfying?)
• Using the Product Life Cycle, place your product/service line along the continuum (Portfolio methods)
Discussion Questions
Less expensive, more widely available communications, transactions, information, and production technologies such as:• Internet based communication and
commerce• Data mining• Pattern recognition algorithms (neural
networks)• Computer integrated design• Rapid prototyping • Simulation testing of designs and
prototypes• Real time data tracking• Nanotechnology• Flexible manufacturing technology• Enterprise wide software
Culturally, ethnically diverse workforce that is more mobile:• Political and economic conditions creating
more opportunities for markets and supplies worldwide
• Aging workforce worldwide• Language and culture differences
Competitive environment:• More informed customers• More evenly distributed technological capabilities
among competitors• More closely linked suppliers• Easier entry for new competitors• World wide market for supplies and workers
Business processes:• More knowledge about customer buying patterns• Improved forecasting ability• Improved production scheduling and tracking• More rapid production process design
Integration:• Coordination of geographically dispersed operations• Coordination of culturally diverse workforce• Coordination of logistics and information with
dispersed networks of customer and suppliers
Workforce:• More use of temporary workers• Competition for skilled and knowledge workers• Management across international cultures• Difficulty in molding organizational cultures
Change Drivers Effects of Change Drivers
• 75% of executive teams do not have a clear customer propositions (idea of the mix that appeals to the target market)
• 85% of management teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy
• 60% of organizations don't link strategy and budgeting
• 92% of organizations don't report on strategic lead indicators
• Less than 5% of an organization's workforce understands its strategy
• Only 51% of senior managers, 21% of middle managers, and 7% of line employees have personal goals linked with strategy
• Organizations find that up to 25% of strategy measures change each year
• Tangible book value represented only 62% of industrial organization's market value in 1982; in 1992 it was 38%, and 10-15% in 2000
• The failure rate of strategies is between 70-90%, mainly due to poor implementation
What’s gone wrong with strategy?
Information from Market Research
SWOT or TOWS Analysis for Strategy
Eras of Marketing
Production Era (1900-1925): “a good product sells itself”; offer more products! Build it and they will come! [problem: unsold inventory]. First courses with “marketing” title. Focus on distribution.
Sales Era (1925-1950s): Marketing principles. Good advertising and sales will overcome consumer resistance” (Brand image differentiation); Marketing associations & journals [problem: broad advertising not cost-effective]
Marketing Era (1950s-1980s): Mass market boom! Use of behavioral and quantitative sciences. Customer is King! Find (create) a need and fill it; (market segmentation & targeting) satisfy needs! [problem: too short term & costly]
Relationship/Partnering Era (1990-): Short term financial focus, downsizing, globalization, reengineering trends. Publish or perish pressure on research. Concern, trust, and investment in collaborative relationships with long term customers and competitors (e.g., Saturn owner parties, Sam’s Club memberships, etc.). Specialized interest areas; sophisticated multivariate segmentation; wide application [Problem: still short term, fragmented research, customer manipulation]

Pre-Marketing Era (1750-1900): “I got it, you want it?”
Pre-Marketing Era (1750-1900)
• “I got it, you want it?”•Cottage industries making narrow
specialties with little variation•Often family businesses•Generally for local trade•Word of mouth promotion• Example: China 1986 basket and wood
shipping containers

Innovation & Product Development:
death of an idea
• 10% of ideas reach the test market stage• 50% of new products fail in test marketing• 50% of those fail on national launch• only 2.5% ever enter the marketplace• 1 entrant for every 64 ideas• the average new product that fails costs about $50 million• some product failures have losses of over $100 million for some
companies

Effects & responses
Introduction Growth Maturity Decline
Competition None of importance Some emulators Many rivals competing Few with rapid shakeout
Overall strategy Market establishment; persuade early adopters to try product
Market penetration; persuade mass market to prefer the brand
Defense of brand position; check competitor inroads
Prepare removal; drain brand of all benefits
Profits Negligible due to high production & marketing costs
Reach peak levels due to high prices & growing demand
Increased competition cuts into profit margins & total profits
Declining volume pushes costs to levels that eliminate profits
Retail prices High to recover excessive launch costs
High to take advantage of growing demand
What traffic will bear; avoid price wars
Low enough to permit liquidation of inventory
Distribution Selective as distribution is built up
Intensive; use small trade discounts since dealers eager to store
Intensive; heavy trade allowances to retain shelf space
Selective; unprofitable outlets slowly phased out
Advertising strategy
Aim at needs of early adopters
Make mass market aware of brand benefits
Advertise to differen-tiate similar brands
Emphasize low price to reduce stock
Advertising emphasis
High to generate awareness & interest in early adopters & dealers to stock the brand
Moderate to let sales rise on momentum of word-of-mouth
Moderate since most buyers are aware of brand characteristics
Minimum expenditures to phase out product
Consumer roles & promotion expenditures
Heavy to entice target groups with samples, coupons, etc. to try brand
Moderate to create brand preference (advertising for this)
Heavy to encourage brand switching to convert buyers into loyal users
Minimal to let the brand coast by itself
What’s your product lifecycle mix?
Team activity: Construct a product life cycle diagram for one of the companies in your team
High growth business strong in competitive market; high point share & ideal business; promote question marks & support R&D
Low growth business with low point share; were stars but have lost their attractiveness; finance question marks and stars
Low point share but may have high growth rate and therefore potential, but require high effort to grow; risky new ventures may become stars or dogs
Low relative share and low expected growth rate; may generate enough points to sustain but not competing; possible niche market; consider divestment

Ansoff’s Product/Market Matrix
Existing products New Products
ExistingMarkets
NewMarkets
Market Penetration:• Increase product purchase in existing
markets (withdrawal, do nothing, consolidate, retrenchment)
• Revitalize brand image• Coordinate advertising and sales training• Adapt to market change• Increase market share• Increase consumer usage (frequency,
quantity, new application)
Product Development:• Introduce new products into existing
markets; can be risky & expensive• Product launch• Add product features & refinements• Develop new products for same
market
Market Development:• Explore new markets for existing
products; when distinctive competencies rest with product not market
• Expanding geographic distribution• Targeting new customer segments
Diversification: • introduce new products into new
markets; horizontal, vertical, conglomerate
• Acquisition/merger• New business venture
Conclusions about marketing matrix models--
• There is a risk of using matrix models is misclassifying businesses
• Use multiple models to ensure better coverage • Know the strengths and limits of each model; when to use and
avoid them • Integrate the information from matrices with other sources of
information and comparison • Don't let the matrix make decisions-- people make decisions!
