What is Marketing?
Marketing is 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 stakeholders.

Core Marketing Concepts
• Target markets and segmentation
• Marketplace, marketspace, and metamarket
• Marketers and prospects
• Needs, wants, and demands
• Product, offering, and brand
• Value and satisfaction
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 5
Core Marketing ConceptsMarket segmentation :They identify and profile distinct
groups of buyers who might prefer or require varying products and marketing mixes.
Market segments can be identified by examining demographic, psychographic, and behavioral differences among buyers.
A market offering: The offering is positioned in the minds of the target buyers as delivering some central benefit (s).
For example, Volvo develops its cars for the target market of buyers; for whom automobile “safety” is a major concern. Volvo, therefore, positions its car as the “safest” a customer can buy.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 6
Core Marketing ConceptsThe metamarket, a concept proposed by Mohan
Sawhney, describes a cluster of complementary products and services that are closely related in the minds of consumers but are spread across a diverse set of industries.
The automobile meta-market consists of automobile manufacturers, new and used car dealers, financing companies, insurance companies, mechanics, spare parts dealers, service shops, auto magazines, classified auto ads in newspapers, and auto sites on the Internet.
Car buyers can get involved in many parts of this metamarket.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 7
Needs, Wants, and DemandsNeeds describe basic human requirements such
as food, air, water, clothing, and shelter. People also have strong needs for recreation, education, and
entertainment.
These needs become wants when they are directed to specific objects that might satisfy the need.
American needs food but wants a hamburger, French fries, and a soft drink. A person in Mauritius needs food but wants a mango, rice, lentils, and beans.
Clearly, wants are shaped by one’s society.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 8
Examples of Different Types of Needs: • Stated Needs e.g. wanting an inexpensive car• Real Needs e.g. ..with low operating costs• Unstated Needs e.g. expects good after-sales
service • Delight Needs e.g. would like a gift with the car• Secret Needs e.g. wants to be seen by friends as
Toyota publica or EE 90.
Customer Needs
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 9
Customer Needs
A distinction needs to be drawn between responsive
marketing, anticipative marketing ,and creative
marketing.
• A responsive marketer finds a stated need and fills it,
• An anticipative marketer looks ahead to the needs
that customers may have in the near future.
• A creative marketer discovers and produces
solutions that customers did not ask for, but to which
they enthusiastically respond.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 10
Needs, Wants, and Demands
Demands are wants for specific products backed by an
ability to pay.
Many people want a Mercedes; only a few are able and
willing to buy one.
Companies must measure not only how many people
want their product, but also how many would actually
be willing and able to buy it.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 11
Product, Offering and Brand
People satisfy their needs and wants with products.
A product is any offering that can satisfy a need or
want, such as one of the 10 basic offerings of
goods, services, experiences, events, persons,
places, properties, organizations, information, and
ideas.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 12
Value and Satisfaction
Value as a ratio between what the customer gets and what he gives.
The marketer can increase the value of the customer offering by:
(1) raising benefits,
(2) reducing costs,
(3) raising benefits and reducing costs,
(4) raising benefits by more than the raise in costs, or
(5) lowering benefits by less than the reduction in costs.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 13
Value and Satisfaction
A customer choosing between two value offerings, V1 and V2, will examine the ratio V1/V2 =?
She will favor V1 if the ratio is larger than 1; she will favor V2 if the ratio is smaller than 1; and she will be indifferent if the ratio equals 1.
The customer gets benefits and assumes costs, as shown in this equation:

Core Marketing Concepts
• Exchange and transactions
• Relationships and networks
• Marketing channels
• Supply chain
• Competition
• Marketing program
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 15
Exchange and TransactionsExchange involves obtaining a desired product from
someone by offering something in return. For exchange potential to exist, five conditions must be
satisfied:1. There are at least two parties.2. Each party has something that might be of value to
the other party.3. Each party is capable of communication and delivery.4. Each party is free to accept or reject the exchange
offer.5. Each party believes it is appropriate or desirable to
deal with the other party.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 16
Exchange and Transactions
A transaction involves at least two things of value,
agreed-upon conditions, a time of agreement, and a
place of agreement.
Usually a legal system exists to support and enforce
compliance among transactors.
Transaction marketing is part of a larger idea called
relationship marketing.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 17
Relationship and Networks
Relationship marketing aims to build long-term mutually satisfying relations with key parties—
customers, suppliers, distributors—in order to earn and retain their long-term preference and business.
A marketing network consists of the company and its supporting stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers, distributors, university scientists, and others) with whom it has built mutually profitable business relationships.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 18
Marketing ChannelsTo reach a target market, the marketer uses three kinds of
marketing channels.
1. Communication channels deliver messages to and receive messages from target buyers.
They include newspapers, magazines, radio, television, mail, telephone, billboards, posters, fliers, CDs, audiotapes, and the Internet.
Communications are conveyed by facial expressions and clothing, the look of retail stores, and many other media.
Dialogue channels (e-mail and toll-free numbers) to counterbalance the more normal monologue channels (such as ads).
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 19
Marketing Channels
2. Distribution channels to display or deliver the physical product or service (s) to the buyer or user, which include warehouses, transportation vehicles, and various trade channels such as distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.
3. Selling channels to effect transactions with potential buyers. Selling channels include not only the distributors and retailers but also the banks and insurance companies that facilitate transactions.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 20
Supply Chain
• Supply chain describes a longer channel stretching from raw materials to components to final products that are carried to final buyers.
For example, the supply chain for women’s purses starts with hides, tanning operations, cutting operations, manufacturing, and the marketing channels that bring products to customers.
This supply chain represents a value delivery system.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 21
Competition
Competition, a critical factor in marketing management, includes all of the actual and potential rival offerings and substitutes that a buyer might consider.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 22
CompetitionFour levels of competition, based on degree of product
substitutability:1. Brand competition: A company sees its competitors
as other companies that offer similar products and services to the same customers at similar prices.
Volkswagen might see its major competitors as Toyota, Honda, and other manufacturers of medium price automobiles, rather than Mercedes or Hyundai.
2. Industry competition: A company sees its competitors as all companies that make the same product or class of products.
Thus, Volkswagen would be competing against all other car manufacturers.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 23
Competition3. Form competition: A company sees its competitors
as all companies that manufacture products that supply the same service.
Volkswagen would see itself competing againstmanufacturers of all vehicles, such as motorcycles,
bicycles, and trucks.
4. Generic competition: A company sees its competitors as all companies that compete for the same consumer dollars.
Volkswagen would see itself competing with companies that sell major consumer durables, foreign vacations, and new homes.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 24
Marketing mix
Marketing mix is the set of marketing tools
that the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives in the target market.
As shown in Figure 1-3, McCarthy classified these tools into four broad groups that he called the four Ps of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion

How Business and Marketing are changing
• We can say with some confidence that the
marketplace isn’t what it used to be.
• It is changing radically as a result of major
societal forces such as technological advances,
globalization, and deregulation.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 27
How Business and Marketing are changing
• The major forces that have created new behaviors and challenges are:
• 1. Customers– …increasingly expect higher quality and
service and some customization. – They perceive fewer real product differences
and show less brand loyalty.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 28
How Business and Marketing are changing
• 2. Brand manufacturers
– …are facing intense competition from
domestic and foreign brands, which is
resulting in rising promotion costs and
shrinking profit margins.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 29
How Business and Marketing are changing
• 3. Store-based retailers
– …are facing growing competition from catalog
houses; direct mail firms; home shopping TV;
and e-commerce on the Internet.
– As a result, they are experiencing shrinking
margins.

Company responses and adjustments
• Reengineering: From focusing on functional departments to reorganizing by key processes, each managed by multidiscipline teams.
• Outsourcing: From making everything inside the company to buying more products from outside if they can be obtained cheaper and better.
• E-commerce: From attracting customers to stores and having salespeople call on offices to making virtually all products available on the Internet.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 31
Company responses and adjustments
• Business-to-business purchasing is growing fast on the Internet, and personal selling can increasingly be conducted electronically.
• Benchmarking: From relying on self-improvement to studying world-class performers and adopting best practices.
• Alliances: From trying to win alone to forming networks of partner firms.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 32
Company responses and adjustments
• Partner–suppliers: From using many suppliers to using fewer but more reliable suppliers who work closely in a “partnership” relationship with the company.
• Market-centered: From organizing by products to organizing by market segment.
• Global and local: From being local to being both global and local.
• Decentralized: From being managed from the top to encouraging more initiative and “intrepreneurship” at the local level.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 33
Marketer responses and adjustments
• Relationship marketing: From focusing on transactions to building long-term, profitable customer relationships.
Companies focus on their most profitable customers, products, and channels.
• Customer lifetime value: From making a profit on each sale to making profits by managing customer lifetime value.
Some companies offer to deliver a constantly needed product on a regular basis at a lower price per unit because they will enjoy the customer’s business for a longer period.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 34
Marketer responses and adjustments
• Customer share: From a focus on gaining market share to a focus on building customer share.
Companies build customer share by offering a larger variety of goods to their existing customers and by training employees in cross-selling and up-selling.
• Target marketing: From selling to everyone to trying to be the best firm serving well defined target markets.
Target marketing is being facilitated by the proliferation of special-interest magazines, TV channels, and Internet newsgroups.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 35
Marketer responses and adjustments
• Individualization: From selling the same offer in the same way to everyone in the target market to individualizing and customizing messages and offerings.
• Customer database: From collecting sales data to building a data warehouse of information about individual customers’ purchases, preferences, demographics, and profitability.
Companies can “data-mine” their proprietary databases to detect different customer need clusters and make differentiated offerings to each cluster.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 36
Marketer responses and adjustments
• Integrated marketing communications: From reliance on one communication tool such as advertising to blending several tools to deliver a consistent brand image to customers at every brand contact.
• Channels as partners: From thinking of intermediaries as customers to treating them as partners in delivering value to final customers.
NUB_KSK MBA 5206 37
Marketer responses and adjustments
• Every employee a marketer: From thinking that
marketing is done only by marketing, sales, and
customer support personnel to recognizing that every
employee must be customer-focused.
• Model-based decision making: From making
decisions on intuition or slim data to basing decisions
on models and facts on how the marketplace works.
