...Gummesson 2007 * Service dominant logic anser att service(som kärnbegrepp) ersätter både produkter och tjänster. * Enligt statistik består ekonomier av tjänstesektorn, tillverkningsindustrin och jordbruk. * Oklarheter med detta: * Ett företag med 51% intäkter från tillverkning, räknas till tillverkningsindustrin, men om 51% av intäkterna istället kommer ifrån reparationer och underhåll av produkter räknas det som ett tjänsteföretag * Om ett industriföretag gör om sin reparation och underhållsavdelning till ett dotterbolag växer tjänstesektorn medans tillverkningsindustrin minskar, åtminstone hur det ser ut. * Bara bokföringsmässigt det ändras, endast i verkligheten ytterst lite. * Det enda som räknas är pengabytet, man tillgodo räknar inte utbyten mellan produkter-tjänster/tjänster-produkter, familje- eller vänjobb eller svarta marknaden. Inte heller voluntära sektorn eller icke-statliga organisationer som greenpeace osv räknas. * Vi har lämnat jordbruks åldern bakom oss, nästan obefintlig, för att genomgått industri åldern och hamnat i ett ”efterindustriåldern” ålder- Informationsåldern – Vetenskapsbaserade samhället – eller tjänste ekonomin. * Statistiken baseras på kostnader, pris och sysselsättning men inte konsumtionen som värde för konsumenter.

Global marketing = focus with recourses and competencies on global market opportunities and threats. The difference is de scope of activities. A global company conducts important activities outside the home-country market. Deze globalisatie activiteiten kunnen met alle groeistrategieën plaatsvinden: Companies that understand and engage in global marketing can offer more overall value to consumers than companies that do not have that understanding. The discipline of marketing is universal. It is natural however that marketing practices will vary per country, for the simple reason that the countries and peoples of the world are different (preferences, competitors, channels and communication media). The differences mean that a marketing approach that has proven successful in 1 country doesn’t mean that this will work in another country. An important thing is to recognize the extent to which it is possible to extend marketing plans and programs worldwide...

...Marketing Mix “The four P approach has led to a manipulative attitude to people” (Gummesson, 2002:285). “What marketing deserves is new approaches, new paradigms, which are more market oriented” (Gronroos, 2002:140). “We propose that the mix has now reached its vanishing point, and we argue that marketing requires a new paradigm” (O’Malley & Patterson, 2002:50). What is common among the above three quotations is the fact that they are all against the Marketing mix. They also share the common belief that it’s time for a radical change, one where the 4Ps are rejected for a new paradigm. But the importance of the 4Ps is being undermined. Despite its limitations, they still form the base which is being used by modern organizations. This paper attempts to show the importance of the marketing mix for modern marketers and that it cannot be relegated from modern marketing strategy. The paper is divided into six parts. Beginning with the introduction it then moves on to the development of the marketing mix theory. The third part contains the literature review of the mix. The fourth asserts that marketing mix in conjunction with RM and CRM can result in a successful marketing strategy and the fifth uses Lexus as an example to prove this assertion. It ends with the conclusion. What Is Marketing Mix? The Oxford Dictionary of Business and Management’s definition of the Marketing Mix is of “the factors controlled by a company that can influence consumers’ buying of its products” (Anon...

...Project Report Launching the BMW Z3 Roadster Introduction BMW Z3 is the 1st BMW car which is being manufactured in North America, a market which has contributed only 16% to BMW s revenues. At the same time, the American customer has found itself very difficult to relate itself to a foreign brand. Here lies the challenge for BMW and the marketing efforts behind the Z3 campaign are aimed at changing this perception of the American customer and ingrain BMS s brand image in the hearts of Americans. Phase1 which was not a run of the mill marketing campaign created a huge buzz and was deemed a huge success. The campaign revolved around the placement of the BMW Z3 in the James Bond Movie, GOLDENEYE as Bonds new car. Several other non-traditional elements such as being part of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog, product appearance on the Jay Leno show, and launch at Central Park ensured an out-of-the-box prelaunch. The challenge now is to leverage the buzz and design Phase II marketing strategies which will convert the interest generated into revenues for BMW. Strategic Significance of the Launch The launch is especially significant for BMW because the success of the entire U.S. operations of BMW crucially hinged on it. Moreover, BMW hopes to position the BMW brand firmly in American culture and settle into the hearts and minds of the American public through the launch. It was also meant to promote the vehicle as a cultural icon in America. Further, the launch demonstrates that...
