“Individuals and organizations that acquire goods and services to be used, directly or indirectly, in the production of other goods and services or to be resold.” TEXT

Industrial Market

“People who buy stuff to make other things.”

W.T.G.R.

Chapter 8 Slide 5

- producers and manufacturers- trade industries (wholesalers and retailers)- governments

Page 161

Chapter 8 Slide 6

• producers and manufacturers

Those who transform goods and services, through production, into other goods and services

• manufacturing firms (eg. Auto parts, computers)

• farms

• mining and forest industries

• construction and building companies

• service companies (trucking, air, rail)

• public utilities, banks, insurance companies Page 161

Chapter 8 Slide 7

• Trade Industries (gong ye maoyi)

• Organizations such as wholesalers and retailers that buy things for resale to customers

• examples - lumber dealers, fabric wholesalers, building materials

• metal and electrical products

Page 162

Chapter 8 Slide 8

• Governments (zheng fu)

• Federal Ministries and Crown Corporations, Provincial Ministeries and Crown Corporations, Municipal governments and agencies

• examples: Dept. of Defense buying trucks from GM, Dept. of Revenue buying computers, Royal Canadian Mint buying paper and

• Provincial agencies buy services such as snow clearance, cellular phone service …... Page 162

Chapter 8 Slide 9

• The Increase in value of input material when transformed into semi-finished or finished goods.

• input material = parts, raw resources, components etc.

• transformed = process, or manufactured, or shaped, or altered etc.

Page 162

Chapter 8 Slide 10

• Example• asbestos company makes asbestos material• another company buys it, shapes it, and makes

asbestos brake pads• another company buys the pads - puts them together

with the other brake parts to form a component• the auto assemble company buys the whole

component and puts it on the car as it is going down the assembly line

Chapter 8 Slide 11

• Example

• sport shoes, with special NIKE logo - makes the shoes more expensive

• t-shirt with special design or drawing

• animal fur - made into a fur coat

• ice cream - ice cream w strawberries on top

• watch - watch with diamonds and jewels added

• wood - wood made into furniture

• blank canvas - “Picasso”

Chapter 8 Slide 12

Industrial Market - Features

• Geographiceg. Auto parts companies tend to locate near auto assembly plants

• Small number of buyers34,000 mfg companies in Canada30 million population as consumers- however mfg. Companies make bigger purchases than an individual consumer

Page 162-163

Chapter 8 Slide 13

A series of industrial classifications developed by the federal government for use in collecting detailed statistics for each industry.

Standard Industrial Classifications (SIC) Codes

SIC out of date - it will be replaced by the NAICS

Chapter 8 Slide 14

NAICSNorth American Industry

Classification System

• It is a new system that replaces the SIC• The purpose is to promote uniformity in

collecting statistics about the economy and companies activities

• Will be used in U.S.A., Canada and Mexico

Chapter 8 Slide 15

1. Derived Demand

2. Joint Demand

3. Inventory Adjustments

4. Demand Variability

Chapter 8 Slide 16

1. Derived Demandmeans the demand is derived (or caused by, or linked to) demand for a consumer item- demand for lithium is “derived” from the demand for lithium batteries, which is in turn “derived” from the demand for cell phones

- demand for wood pulp is derived from the demand for paper, which is derived from the increase in people printing on paper page 165

Chapter 8 Slide 17

2. Joint Demandmeans the demand is related to the demand for other industrial thingseg. The demand for printer cartridges is linked to the demand for printer paper

for services, the demand for Netscape 4.05 - is linked to the demand for an ISP account page 165

Chapter 8 Slide 18

3. Inventory Adjustmentsmeans the demand is related to how much the buyer needs to have in stockIf the buyer needs a larger inventory, then demand will be higherIf the buyer is trying to cut back on inventory (eg. Using computer controlled materials handling) then they will need less inventory and just buy in time (called JIT) Just In Time

page 165

Chapter 8 Slide 19

4. Demand Variabilitythe “impact” of derived demand on the demand for interrelated products used in producing consumer goods

page 166

Chapter 8 Slide 20

Accelerator Principle

The disproportionate impact that changes in consumer demand have on industrial market demand

eg. Small changes in consumer demand can have big changes in the requirement for industrial parts, components and materials to make those products page 166

not equal

Chapter 8 Slide 21

1. Capital Items- things that last a long time, and become less and less in value over time

2. Expense Items

- things that are used within a short period of time

- some types of raw materials, office supplies, materials in production

Categories of Industrial Products

Chapter 8 Slide 22

1. Capital Itemsex - car

- office building

- machinery and equipment2. Expense Items

ex - gas for the car

- washing the windows for the building

- parts for the machinery


Chapter 8 Slide 23

•Depreciation

• The accounting concept for charging a portion of the cost of a capital item as a deduction against the company’s revenue- eg. 486 DX2 Office computer bought in 1995 - deduct $750 in 1995- deduct $750 in 1996etc. page 166


Chapter 8 Slide 24

• Many people involved in the decision making process

• Takes a lot of time to “network” and explain aspects of the product

• Need to get the approval of many peope to get a final decision

• Committees may be involved and this takes time• Many organizations try to use different sources

and therefore do not always buy from the same supplier all the time

Page 167

Chapter 8 Slide 25

The Complexity of Industrial Purchases• negotiations can take a long time• Many people involved in the decision making

process have different points of view• Many companies selling industrial parts and

components spend a lot of time in developing relationships with key people who are buyers

• Many companies buying industrial parts and components have a person who specifically deals with buying - the “purchasing manager”

Page 167

Chapter 8 Slide 26

The Purchase of a Capital Item• negotiations can take months to full explain all the

- features- advantages- benefitsof the product

• sometimes the seller has to convince the buyer they can create a special customized product for their special industrial needs

• eg. New type of utility pole

Page 168 - 169

Chapter 8 Slide 27

• Straight Rebuy• recurring (buying all the time) the same thing

• Modified Rebuy• regular buying, but with some re-evaluation to think

about things each time

• New Task / First-time Buying• this takes a lot of effort on the part of the buyers to

consider many aspects

Page 171

Chapter 8 Slide 29A Model of the Industrial Buying Process

Page 173


Need Recognition

- simply the understanding that you need something

- can be caused by an emergency, or just the execution of your plans to do something


Information Search

- make a list of who are the best potential suppliers

- purpose is to know, in detail, what you need, and what you should buy

- have to develop a list of technical specificationseg. Waterproof, or withstand heat of 200 degrees


Delineation of Suppliers

- collect information on potential suppliers


Sales Demonstration/Proposal

- potential suppliers are then invited to make a presentation, or come for a meeting to provide a proposal

- includes technical and economic considerations


Advertisements

- usually done in trade magazines and newsletters


Technical articles + in the late 1990’s, extensive Internet searches

- the buying group examines this information to determine how it fits their requirements


•Word of Mouth

•Personal and interpersonal influences

•Review of Internal Proposals

Page 173

Chapter 8 Slide 37

Reciprocity

• Buying from suppliers who are also customers

• eg. Computer manufacturer buys all computer paper from forest products company that uses their computers

• eg. Ford executives rent cars from Hertz - cause Hertz uses Ford cars !

Chapter 8 Slide 38

• Government buying of products and services is 52% of Canada’s GDP

• therefore selling to the government is important business

Page 174

Chapter 8 Slide 39

• Bids• price quotations from potential suppliers

• Specifications• Specific descriptions of the items• in many situations, this information is extremely

detailed

Page 174

Chapter 8 Slide 40

• Three Ways of Obtaining Bids• An Invitation to Tender (offer)• - for big things that cost a lot of money

• Requests for Quotations• - for small purchases less than $5,000

• Requests for Proposals• - for noncompetitive purchases more than $5,000
