    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    INTRODUCTION

    Information is the basis for every decision taken in an organization. Theefficiency of management depends upon the availability of regular and relevant

    information. Thus it is essential that an effective and efficient reporting system be

    developed as part of accounting system. The main object of management information isto obtain the required information about the operating results of an organizationregularly in order to use them for future planning and control.

    The old techniques like intuition, rule of thumb, personal whim and prestige, etc.Are now considered useless in the process of decision taking. Modern management is

    constantly on look out for such quantitative and such information, which can help in

    analyzing the proposed alternative actions and choosing one as its decision. Thus,modern management functions are information-oriented more popularly known as

    management by information. And the system through which information is

    communicated to the management is known as management information system (mis).

    CONCEPT OF MIS

    DEF:A system of people, equipment, procedures, documents and communications that

    collects, validates, operates on transformers, stores, retrieves, and present data for use

    in planning, budgeting, accounting, controlling and other management process.

    Management:

    Management can be defined as a science of using resources rationally (mobilization,

    allocation, combination, utilization of resources in judicious manner using appropriateskills, approaches and techniques) and economically to achieve the desired results or

    meet the targeted performance level

    Information

    Information is data that has been processed into a form that is meaningful to the

    recipient and is of real or perceived value in current or progressive decision

    The data information cycle can be expressed as

    System

    A system can be defined as a group of inter-related, often interacting units thattogether perform a task in a synchronized manner to provide the desired result.

    A business is also a system where resources such as people, money, material, machinesetc., are transformed by various organization processes into goods and services.

    The function of MIS can be shown diagrammatically as-

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    The management can be broadly classified, depending upon the requirements of

    information for performing their managerial responsibilities, into

    Top Management (Strategic):

    The main responsibilities are:

    i) Determining the overall goals and objectives of the business.ii) Dealing with long term plans, policy matters and broad based strategic

    planning.

    iii) Establishing a framework within which the various departments should work.

    The information used is futuristic and external in nature (political, economical,

    social, technological, ecological and legal). It receives the summary from the middlemanagement and the decision made at this level is non-programmed but strategic.

    Middle Management (Tactical):

    The middle management is concerned with elaborating, classifying, and

    transforming of organizational goals into actions and plans. The information is fed

    from the top management as well as the supervisory management and is internal innature. It needs information for short-term planning.

    Lower level Management (Operation):

    The supervisory management deals with the operational plans, policies and

    procedures for transforming or converting inputs to outputs. It is responsible forday-to-day routine decisions and operations of the organization.

    The information is received from the middle management and is mostlyinternal in nature. Decisions at this level are usually routine, structured and

    programmed. The functions and processes are standardized.

    The Marketing Information System

    Sales and Marketing is a key process for the sustenance of any business asrevenues are a direct outcome of it. Information Systems within the Sales and Marketing

    process implement technologies that allow the personnel to access crucial and updated

    information related to access crucial and updated information related to customerpreferences and market demands to offer prompt services.

    Organizations are increasingly gaining a competitive edge by integrating

    Information Systems with their business processes to determine and implement potentialsales strategies. Substantial results can be achieved by using Information Systems to

    analyze the sales pipelining process. Sales pipelining is the process of recognizing the

    initiation and closure of each sale in which a prospective customer is converted into acustomer and then into a repeat customer.

    Information Systems are also helpful in identifying the most effective sales

    strategy that can be used in any particular case based on specified criteria, such as themarket segment or the product category. Formulating successful sales strategies involves

    defining product and service standards, understanding the intricacies of sales life cycle,

    and interpreting sales results to determine sales strategies.

    DEFINING SALES AND MARKETING

    A sale is a customer business organization transaction involving the exchange of

    goods or services with money. In an organization, it is usually the Sales team that

    interfaces with the customers to enable this transaction.Marketing is defined as a brand name building exercise for the product or service

    being offered by a company. The end objective of marketing is to incorporate a sense ofrecall among existing and potential customers regarding the product or service.

    Marketing helps to establish and enhance the credibility of the product or service.

    The marketing research process is only one of the sources of information for the

    MIS. It is worth remembering that it is allthe sources of information which contribute to

    the MIS which help us understand our customer's needs and wants; that information doesnot come just from our marketing research activities.

    The Marketing Information System focuses on only the marketing aspects of the

    management information system. It is an organized way of continually collecting,

    accessing and analyzing information that marketing managers need in order to makebetter decisions.

    Figure 3.1 provides reasons why we need to have an MIS to help us become

    effective managers. However, designing and implementing an MIS so that it

    performs the way it should is not always an easy task. After all, an MIS has to

    meet the needs of its customers (users) and, to do that; those needs must first beassessed.

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    To understand the proper role of information systems one must examine what

    managers do and what information they need for decision making. We must also

    understand how decisions are made and what kinds of decision problems can besupported by formal information systems. One can then determine whether information

    systems will be valuable tools and how they should be designed.

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    COMPONENTS OF A MARKETING INFORMATION SYSTEM

    A marketing information system (MIS) is intended to bring together disparateitems of data into a coherent body of information. An MIS is, as will shortly be seen,

    more than raw data or information suitable for the purposes of decision making. An MISalso provides methods for interpreting the information. Moreover, as Kotler's definitionsays, an MIS is more than a system of data collection or a set of information

    technologies:

    Figure 9.1 The marketing information systems and its subsystems

    Figure 9.1 illustrates the major components of an MIS, the environmental factorsmonitored by the system and the types of marketing decision which the MIS seeks to

    underpin.

    The explanation of this model of an MIS begins with a description of each of its

    four main constituent parts: the internal reporting systems, marketing research system,marketing intelligence system and marketing models. It is suggested that whilst the MIS

    varies in its degree of sophistication - with many in the industrialized countries being

    computerized and few in the developing countries being so - a fully fledged MIS shouldhave these components, the methods (and technologies) of collection, storing, retrieving

    and processing data notwithstanding.

    Internal reporting systems: All enterprises which have been in operation forany period of time have a wealth of information. However, this information often

    remains under-utilized because it is compartmentalized, either in the form of an

    individual entrepreneur or in the functional departments of larger businesses.

    That is, information is usually categorized according to its nature so that thereare, for example, financial, production, manpower, marketing, stockholding and

    environment that they can use in their decision making. This scanning of the

    economic and business environment can be undertaken in a variety of ways,

    including:

    1. Unfocused scanning: - The manager, by virtue of what he/she reads, hears and

    watches expose him/herself to information that may prove useful. Whilst thebehavior is unfocused and the manager has no specific purpose in mind, it is not

    unintentional.2. Semi-focused scanning: - Again, the manager is not in search of particular pieces

    of information that he/she is actively searching but does narrow the range of

    media that is scanned. For instance, the manager may focus more on economic

    and business publications, broadcasts etc. and pay less attention to political,scientific or technological media.

    3. Informal search: - This describes the situation where a fairly limited and

    unstructured attempt is made to obtain information for a specific purpose. Forexample, the marketing manager of a firm considering entering the business of

    importing frozen fish from a neighbouring country may make informal inquiriesas to prices and demand levels of frozen and fresh fish. There would be littlestructure to this search with the manager making inquiries with traders he/she

    happens to encounter as well as with other ad hoc contacts in ministries,

    international aid agencies, with trade associations, importers/exporters etc.

    4. Formal search: - This is a purposeful search after information in somesystematic way. The information will be required to address a specific issue.

    Whilst this sort of activity may seem to share the characteristics of marketing

    research it is carried out by the manager him/herself rather than a professionalresearcher. Moreover, the scope of the search is likely to be narrow in scope and

    far less intensive than marketing research

    Some enterprises will approach marketing intelligence gathering in a more deliberate

    fashion and will train its sales force, after-sales personnel and district/area managers totake cognizance of competitors' actions, customer complaints and requests and

    distributor problems. Enterprises with vision will also encourage intermediaries, such as

    collectors, retailers, traders and other middlemen to be proactive in conveying marketintelligence back to them.

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    MARKETING MODELS:

    Within the MIS there has to be the means of interpreting information in order to

    give direction to decision. These models may be computerized or may not. Typical toolsare:

    Time series sales modes.

    Brand switching models.

    Linear programming.

    Elasticity models (price, incomes, demand, supply, etc.).

    Regression and correlation models.

    Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) models. Sensitivity analysis.

    Discounted cash flow.

    Spreadsheet 'what if models.

    These and similar mathematical, statistical, econometric and financial models are

    the analytical subsystem of the MIS. A relatively modest investment in a desktopcomputer is enough to allow an enterprise to automate the analysis of its data. Some of

    the models used are stochastic, i.e. those containing a probabilistic element whereas

    others are deterministic models where chance plays no part. Brand switching models arestochastic since these express brand choices in probabilities whereas linear programming

    is deterministic in that the relationships between variables are expressed in exact

    mathematical terms.

    MARKETING STRATEGIES USING MIS

    The role of Information Systems in devising Marketing strategies has been

    increasing over the years. Organizations derive the following benefits from

    implementing Information Systems in marketing:

    Creating effective Marketing plans: Target market identification, implementationof the entire marketing campaign and finally setting up of required standards

    criteria and evaluating the performance of the plans generated.

    Customizing modules for specific requirements: Information can be used tomanage campaigns to retain customers, vendors and optimize services regarding

    each contact.

    Managing critical business issues: Information Systems are effectively used tomanage critical issues, such as costs and budget analysis, media policies,

    establishing milestones and segment management for every campaign.

    Creating Product promotional strategies: Information Systems are used to design,analyze and implement product promotional strategies of a particular brand

    according to its price, quality, and other related issues.

    Conducting market analysis: Information Systems can be used to survey the

    potential market and this information can be analyzed to develop specific targetmarket strategies.

    Preparing comprehensive reports: Information Systems can filter information toprovide customized solutions to marketers. This information can be viewed in

    various ways such as summarized views, total, sub total, statistical views or

    graphic views.

    STRATEGIC INFORMATION MINING

    Data-based marketing is fairly new, so few CIOs have experience with the

    relevant methodology and technologies. Here's how to go from data processing toinformation mining.

    One of the important challenges today's CIOs face is the shift from data

    processing to information processing. On the forefront of this phenomenon is perhaps

    the most strategic application of all: data-based marketing. At the core of data-basedmarketing is the mining of historical transactional data to uncover customer patterns and

    trends.

    Data-based marketing cannot succeed without support from technology experts.

    Unfortunately, marketers often find IS personnel uncooperative. The problems usually

    stem from some basic misconceptions:

    Misconception:

    The MIS department has the knowledge and tools to build correct data-based marketing

    systems; it just needs to move more quickly and pro-actively.

    Reality:

    MIS's experience base is usually operational systems. An order-entry clerk's veryregimented use of data does not resemble the way marketers use information to devise

    customer-acquisition strategies, plan promotions, and search for new marketing ideas.Thus, most of what IS personnel learn from building operational data processing systemssimply doesn't apply to data-based marketing.

    Misconception:

    Marketers do not communicate what they want.

    Reality:

    Marketing requirements differ significantly from other business requirements.

    Marketers cannot communicate a complete and invariant set of requirements becausetheir most important requirement is to be able to deal with constantly changing needs.

    16/53

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    Misconception:

    The way the data already exists in the operational databases is good for marketing

    information mining.

    Reality:

    For marketing needs, the data must be carefully prepared to address ever-presentintegrity and consistency problems. Moreover, the data must be cast into logical and

    physical structures tailored to the unique task of marketing information mining.

    Resource sharing between operational and informational databases usually leads tobottlenecks and escalating costs.

    Misconception:

    Relational queries give users enough flexibility for accessing the data.

    Reality:

    Relational interfaces cannot do complex data transformation and statistical aggregation

    in a straightforward and efficient way. Expressing marketing analysis queries in SQL isabout as natural as writing operating systems in COBOL. This is the reason that, in the

    absence of their own database, marketing analysts may use SQL to pull data extracts, but

    they do the real work with other tools.

    Misconception:

    End-user "automated" analysis tools, based on rule induction, neural networks, fuzzy

    logic, genetic algorithms, fractals, or fuzzy logic, replace the need for human

    information mining.

    Reality:

    All these techniques require, just as old-fashioned statistical analysis does, careful

    structuring of the inputs and tinkering with the knobs. At the very least, a human analyst

    must discover what is relevant before asking a program to verify, refine, and quantify it.

    Misconception:

    Data-based marketing is just a sales forecasting or a customer-selection system.

    17/53

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    Reality:

    Analyzing marketing data and implementing the results of the analysis are two different

    things. Information mining will likely result in a slew of new operational systems, but

    one should not confuse gold with the process of mining it.

    Because data-based marketing is new, few CIOs have experience with the relevantmethodology and technologies. CIOs must understand the key differences between data

    processing and information mining. The goal of data processing is to support the smooth

    flow of a business's daily activities. The goal of information mining is to detect andmeasure marketplace phenomena in order to actively manage business change.

    DIFFERENT PROCESS

    Because of differences in purpose, data processing and information mining use

    computers in very different ways. Information mining is characterized by the use of:

    Long, detailed histories of interactions with each and every customer, as opposed

    to just current or highly pre-summarized data.

    Data dynamically derived from the basic elements by computations, re-coding,

    etc., rather than stored static data.

    Statistical aggregation of data rather than retrieval of individual record values.

    Ad hoc, data-driven iterative processing rather than a well-defined flow of

    execution steps.

    Individual project work organization.

    These characteristics lead to wide swings of resource utilization, greater need for

    resource flexibility, and low reuse rate (and therefore little opportunity for traditionalsystems quality assurance).

    Information mining is done not through a collection of well-specified applications,

    but in a computational environment that facilitates data-intensive research.

    Dedicating Storage And Processors To Information Mining

    The integrated world of MIS often considers segregating databases and creating

    data redundancy a capital offense. But, as Inmon observed, not doing so may lead to

    much greater and uncontrollable redundancy, with every user pulling his own extracts toget his job done. A separate historical database, (or in Inmon's words a "data

    warehouse"), minimizes and controls redundancy.

    Having processors and storage dedicated to information mining avoids the

    conflict that arises if you introduce erratic information processing into an environment ofpredictable utilization rates. Fortunately, unless your customer file contains the entire

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    population of the United States and all citizens' purchases, you may not need very

    complicated and costly hardware.

    Once all parties agree to separate computing resources, periodic, not continuous,

    feeding of data from operational databases is a natural outcome. The strategy of

    updating the marketing database only periodically has few drawbacks and severalimportant advantages:

    It permits creation of a Data Quality Filter (discussed later) to assure data

    usability.

    Iterative analysis is best done on data that are not changing.

    Continuous updating takes up resources needed for data analysis. Periodic

    updating fits well with peaks and troughs of information mining.

    Not having the most current layer of data can be easily compensated by

    straightforward short-term projection of customer counts. Most of the time, it is

    not even an issue because analysis is done by time slicing the past.

    Short-term promotion tracking reports can be easily produced from the operational

    databases.

    From Information Mining to Applications

    Certainly not all information-mining efforts lead to the creation of new

    applications. Some do not even produce interesting results, let alone influence strategies

    or tactics. However, the most common applications that emerge are:

    A customer-acquisition planning system that helps marketers choose the bestways to acquire new customers based on models that project the long-term

    payoff of such efforts.

    A promotion planning, customer selection, and tracking system based on a

    segmentation model that ranks customers based on expected profitability a

    financial model combined with a model of customer long-term value determines

    the depth of selection for targeted promotions.

    Tracking and projection of critical customer segments this is an EIS

    application used to keep a watch on the "health" of a customer base, project sales,

    and play "what if" scenarios with the marketing strategy.

    A test planning and evaluation system supported by well-defined customer

    clusters. Merchandising support based on discovered clusters of products that customers

    tend to buy as a group.

    The use of these systems leads to new ideas and new research questions that

    translate into more information mining. CIOs should develop and execute thesemarketing and executive applications in the information-mining environment for the

    following reasons:

    19/53

    USE OF MIS IN MARKETING

    In the operational environment it will be difficult to get data of the same quality

    and consistency as in the historical informational data-base.

    Moreover, although these applications are not as fluid as information mining

    itself, they need to be considerably more open to revisions than order entry oraccounting.

    A compelling argument for maintaining these applications within theinformation-mining environment is that quality-control procedures established

    there are more appropriate than regular data processing quality controls.

    A crucial element in executive information systems is a human information

    provider, usually a marketing data analyst. Information providers perform

    information mining, investigate suspicious results, and answer follow-upquestions. The place for these is the information-mining environment.

    MIS REPORTS:

    Need for MIS Reports:

    1. Provides data: One of the important functions of the management

    accountant is to keep the management informed of all the facts relating to thebusiness to assist the management in the effective management of thebusiness. The effectiveness of the information depends upon on its proper

    reporting.

    2. Aid to managers: The growth of size of business requires the delegation of

    authority to various levels of management. Therefore, there arises need of

    control, co-ordination and communication. Without mis, the managers,working at different levels in the organization, cannot carry out the function

    of planning, controlling and decision making effectively.

    3. Basis of decision: It is through mis reports only the management is able toget a full insight into the entire operative activity of the concern. The mis

    reports are basis for the management to make decisions.

    4. Take informed decisions: The primary object of mis reporting is two fold:

    informing the management of the actual performance, to enable the

    management to make scientific and sound decision.
