Marketing in Organizations

The competitive business environment determines companies to increase their efforts in developing successful marketing activities. The statement made by Drucker regarding the fact that marketing is rhetoric rather than reality in many businesses has little application in the current market environment. This is because the theory and practice of marketing have significantly developed since Drucker made this statement.

There are several definitions of marketing. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers (Blythe, 006). Marketing is defined by Philip Kotler as the science and art of exploring, creating, and delivering value in order to satisfy the needs of targeted customer segments (Kotler & Armstrong, 009). Another definition of marketing refers to marketing as the messages…...

"Building a successful buzz campaign hinges on finding the right carriers for the message: influencers who are obsessed with staying one step ahead of their peers." (Khermouch & Green, 2001)
Conclusion

In conclusion, this phase of the marketing experience revolved around the perceived impact of various internal influences on consumers as they would be convinced to purchase Gateway Plasma Screen Televisions. The report looked at various aspects and marketing approaches such as demographic data gathering including age and income as well as psychographic data gathering which incorporates personality style or lifestyle data in the marketing of products. The world has become highly technologically advanced and has therefore introduced many new sources or opportunities such as direct database marketing, email contact points and internet shopping to marketing and consumerism management. Marketing and selling have therefore greatly changed. It is no longer a viable approach to just blanket advertise and other traditional advertising…...

Marketing

Illustrate the differences between a straight rebuy, modified rebuy, and a new task purchase. Why is it important to understand the differences?

A straight rebuy is the purchase of standard parts, maintenance, or repair, and operating supplies, or any recurring need purchased on a routine basis (Kotler, 2006). For example, the routine purchase of printing paper is a straight rebuy. A modified rebuy is a situation in which purchasers have experience to draw on, and consider alternatives to previous purchasing (Kotler, 2006). For example, if a company recently purchased a new printer from vendor A, but was not satisfied, they may decide to purchase from vendor B. In the same situation next time. A new task purchase is a situation in which purchasing does not have previous experience with a requirement, and thus, has no relevant knowledge of product solutions (Kotler, 2006). For example, if a company requires the purchase of…...

All these were achieved with immense marketing budgets.
In the current situation when the United States and the world are threatened by an economic crisis, the giant shoemaker continues to sustain an increased marketing budget. A specification that must be made however is that changes in the structure of the budget have occurred. In this order of ideas, the marketing specialists at Nike are more centred on interactive and innovative marketing, rather than traditional marketing operations. In a time of financial difficulties then, the number one shoemaker of the globe is trying to approach the audience using less conventional means. Nike officials argued that they were not in the business of keeping the media companies alive, but that their primary interest was that of best communicating with the audience. In this order of ideas then, the multinational organization drastically reduced marketing budgets for television advertisements and other traditional means and…...

With this in mind, the marketing division would notify the &D (research and advancement) division to produce a prototype of a service or product based upon the customers' brand-new needs.
The manufacturing division would then begin to produce the item, while the marketing division would concentrate on the advertising, circulation, rates, and so on of the item. Furthermore, a company's finance division would be gotten in touch with, with respect to securing ideal financing for the advancement, manufacturing and promo of the item. Inter-departmental disputes could happen, need to a company abide by the marketing alignment. Manufacturing might oppose the installment, support and maintenance of brand-new capital stock, which might be had to produce a brand-new item. Finance might oppose the necessary capital expense, because it could possibly weaken a healthy capital for the company.

In Italy, the local marketing approach would also emphasize the authentic nature of the environment except that local marketing would be less explicit and devoid of specific references in that regard. Instead, it would attempt to present services, menus, and other accoutrements in a manner that would allow local customers to come to their own conclusion that the hotel provides a highly authentic Italian experience.

This exercise was extremely valuable to the study of Human Resource Management issues. Prior to this exercise, it would not have occurred to me how important local customs in a foreign country might be from the perspective of human resource management and the potential for civil liability to American employees working abroad. The exercise also provided an opportunity to make an important decision based on the comparative potential risks and rewards of two alternate courses of action.

From the perspective of marketing in particular, this…...

Economic: the economic forces affecting the marketing operations can be linked to the increasing numbers of organizations competing within the same industry, the better access to financial resources or the growing income per capita for the working population; all these forces generate new needs and as such require increased marketing efforts.

The marketing strategies that will create positive relationships with the shareholders will certainly be in the growth strategies category. Following the discussion we have previously had for the customers category of stakeholders, a diversification strategy seems to be the most appropriate to encourage positive relationships with the shareholders.

Indeed, a diversification marketing strategy will encourage the shareholders to believe that the company is constantly willing to promote its own business model and its own particular products and services on the market. Additionally it will also sustain the idea that the company has a clear plan and strategy for the future, one that will support the company's profitability.

On the other hand, the company also has to promote innovation strategy of the leader/pioneer type. Such a strategy will determine the fact that the management's aim is towards supporting a leadership path into the future. Such marketing strategies will allow the shareholders be confident…...

Marketing in a Less Developed Country
A less developed country is that country with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of less than 2% of global trade in goods relative to other countries. Less developed countries are characterized by little industry and sometimes a comparatively high dependence on foreign aid. These countries are grouped as the poorest and weakest market economies and consist of more than 880 million people. They rely heavily on exports of agricultural products whose prices keep on fluctuating fetching low price in the international market while they import most of the industrial and manufactured goods from developed countries a reason for continued balance of payment deficits, resulting into high debt burdens which have kept them as beggars' in the international community thus a continuous vicious cycle of poverty (UN-OHLLS, 2011).

Less developed countries are also characterized by low level of socio-economic development with weak human and institutional capacities, low…...

Emerging Trends
There are a number of different trends emerging in marketing, and those involved in the craft should be aware not only of these changes but the implications of them as well. The first is video. Social media in particular has become a forum for video in marketing. This not only means things like Facebook Live and YouTube, but more sophisticated marketing such as Wistia's pro plans, Vidyard, and Brightcove. Video is another means by which a company can tell its brand story, and there is evidence that the use of video in marketing is not just on the rise but is effective as well, because most audiences find that video content is more engaging than other forms of content (Sharma, 2017).
