Slide1
Marketing is an integrating function: Good marketing requires a balance of skills.
- Understanding the consumer experience, for example the interface consumer behavior/technology (user-friendliness)
- Decision orientation: in particular dealing with incomplete information
- Implementation: of marketing plan
Slide2
Initial Marketing Frameworks
Since Levitt, many frameworks have been developed to make marketing not just a business philosophy but a critical function with specific responsibilities and tasks within the company or institution (including non-profit organizations*)
*Churches, political parties, foundations, etc. all extensively engage in marketing today.
Slide3
Initial Marketing Frameworks To implement Levitt’s philosophy (Marketing Myopia), marketers use frameworks
such as the MMP (Marketing Management Process with the 5Cs, SWOT analysis, 4 Ps) and the NPDP (New Product Development Process).
Slide4
The Marketing Management Process
Examines the situation and identify problems and opportunities: 5 C’s (Customer, Competitor, Company, Collaborators, Context)
Establishes objectives: operations objectives (supply), market objectives (demand)
Formulates strategy: 4 P’s = Product, Price, Place (distribution), Promotion (communication)
Implements and monitors the strategy (the marketing plan)

The 5 C’s
Slide6
Analysis of First C : Consumer
Understanding the consumer, the consumer experience
Recognizing consumer heterogeneity: market segmentation
Slide7
Model of the Consumer Developing a Model of the Consumer Experience. The consumer experience is a process. It may be a shared experience (This sharing is
greatly facilitated by the Internet). The Household Production Function of Gary Becker* is a related concept.
Consumers often choose not directly from the commodities that they purchase but from commodities they transform into goods through a household production function.
It is these goods that they value. The idea was proposed by Gary Becker and Kelvin Lancaster in the mid 1960s. A simple illustration is the baking a cake: The consumer purchases flour, eggs, and
sugar and then uses some labor, time and equipment to produce a cake. The consumer did not really want the flour or sugar but purchased them to produce the
cake consumed.

Slide10
To adopt the point of view of the consumer experience, we need to organize these product elements

Slide11
The means-ends framework has been found to be useful in organizing the product components

Analysis of 2nd C: Company
-Core Competencies of the Corporation-Sustainable Advantages of the Corporation-Differentiation from Competition-Relative Positioning of Company, its
offerings (which products/services for which markets)
Slide20
Analysis of 3rd C: Competition
Nature of Competition (definition of the category, of the relevant set)
Number of CompetitorsRelative Positionings of Competitors
(differentiation)
Slide21
Analysis of 4th C: Collaborators
Firms do not perform all functions. Important market participants include: suppliers,
manufacturers, resellers (wholesalers, retailers)Suppliers Manufacturers Resellers End-users There may be conflict between the objectives of
these interdependent market participants (channel coordination is critical): Apple acts as channel captain in the app market for its mobile devices (iPhone, iPad)

Analysis of 5th C: Context (Environment) Socio-economic, demographic, cultural,
life-style Political (deregulation, privatization) Technological (innovation) Globalization, outsourcing

Integrating the 5 Cs: SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)
CompanyCollaborators
ConsumerCompetitionContext
24
Integrating the 5 Cs via SWOT analysis Given one’s objective, a strategy to achieve
it is developed by answering the questions: -How can we use and capitalize on each of our strengths? -How can we improve each of our weaknesses?
-How can we exploit and benefit from each opportunity?
-How can we mitigate each threat?
25
Where are wetoday(our offering) ?
Where is theconsumer(unmet needs) ?
Where are ourcompetitors(others' offerings) ?
Where can we (do we want to)be at what time horizon?

opportunities: 5 C’s (Analyses of Customer, Competitor, Company, Collaborators, Context); SWOT analysis of the business

The Marketing Mix: the 4 P’s

Framework of the New Product Development Process* (NPDP) 1-Generating new ideas 2-Screening new ideas for consistency with our business definition 3-Concept development and testing (to make new idea relevant to
consumer) 4-Marketing strategy (target market, marketing plan: 4 Ps) 5-Business analysis (economics of the marketing plan) 6-Product development (producing a prototype) 7-Testing (alpha and beta testing, market tests) 8-Commercialization
*Tasks 1-7 are not performed in the exact sequential order but they need to be performed prior to 8. Often these tasks will be repeated as product and strategy revisions are made. The NPDP should thus be viewed as an iterative process.
