Introduction to Marketing
MARKETING AS AN ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE
• Marketing as a subject of study is relatively new
• Has drawn heavily on:– Economics– Psychology– Sociology
• Increasingly developing and contributing its own body of knowledge
Marketing defined
Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating, and satisfying customer requirements profitably. (CIM, 2001)
Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchange and satisfy individual and organisational objectives. (AMA, 1985)
Marketing - points of agreement
(CIB & AMA)
• Management process.
• Giving customers what they want.
• Identifies and anticipates customer requirements.
• Fulfils customers requirements profitably.
Marketing - the Americans go further
• Offers and exchanges ideas, goods and services.
• Assumption that both parties value what the other has to offer (mutual value).
• Proactive selling and willing buyers.
Wider Definition of Marketing
Marketing is to establish, maintain, and enhance
relationships with customers and other partners, at a profit, so that the parties involved are met. This is achieved by mutual exchange
and fulfillment of promises.(Grönroos, 1997)
Lets make this a little simpler
• Marketing is about – Providing the right product or service– At the right price– Available where the customer wants to
buy– And backed up by promotions which
make the customer aware of what is on offer and convinces them to buy your company’s product
– While making a profit for your company.
HOW DO YOU SUCCEED IN THE MARKETS FOR THESE PRODUCTS?
• Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) are a challenge for marketers
• Why should a customer buy your product and not the competitors’?
Quotes about marketing
• “There is only one boss – the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company, from the Chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”Sam Walton WalMart
Value, Satisfaction and Quality
• Consumers make buying choices based upon their perceptions of the value that various products and services deliver.
• Customer value is based upon the consumer’s assessment of the product’s overall capacity to satisfy his or her needs.

MARKETING AS A FUNDAMENTAL BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
• Distinguish between:– Marketing as a philosophy (e.g. a
company- wide culture of putting the customer first)
– Marketing as a set of techniques (e.g. advertising, market research)
• Techniques are likely to fail if the philosophy is not fully adopted
MARKETING IN RELATION TO OTHER CORPORATE FUNCTIONS
• Viewed as a philosophy, everybody in an organisation should be a “part-time marketer”
• “Marketing is so basic that it cannot be considered to be a separate function. It is the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result, that is, from the customer's point of view". - Peter Drucker
An INTEGRATIVE BUSINESS FUNCTION?
• The role of marketing in bringing (departmental) functions together in emphasing the customer focus?
- marketing the GLUE?
