• Customers often do not judge product value and costs accurately or objectively. They act on perceived value.
Satisfaction:
• If the product’s performance falls short of the customer’s expectations, the buyer is dissatisfied.
Quality:
• Customer satisfaction is closely linked to quality.
• Quality has a direct impact on product performance.
• Quality can be defined as “freedom from defects”.
• TQM programs designed to constantly improve the quality of products, services, and marketing processes.
• Customisation vs customerisation• Dizitisation and connectivity : A new set of intermediaries

Value Chain and Information SystemValue Chain and Information System
The Value Chain can be used to determine where IS can strengthen the flow of primary and support activities within an organization.
Every segment of an organization needs IT and IS to be competitive. So this model is essential to visualizing the flow of activities within segments through the use of IS and IT.
Awareness of competitive forces can
help a company stake out a position
in its industry that is less vulnerable
to attack.

Porter Competitive Model Tips
1. To incorrectly define the industry can cause major
problems in doing the analysis.
2. You must identify the specific market being evaluated.
3. Your analysis company is the Strategic Business Unit.
4. Identify rivals by name for majors, by category for minor
rivals if needed to present the best possible profile of
rivals.

5. Be sure to address the power implications of both
customers and suppliers. Power buys them what?

companies.

WHAT IS MARKETING?
Attempts to Define Marketing• Many people think of marketing only as selling and
advertising.• Selling and advertising are only the tip of the marketing
ice-berg.• Marketing is one of three key core functions that are
central to all organizations.• Marketers act as the customers’ voice within the firm and
marketers are responsible for many more decisions than just advertising or sales: – Analyse industries to identify emerging trends.– Determine which national and international markets to
enter or exit.– Conduct research to understand consumer behavior.– Design integrated marketing mixes – products, prices,
channels of distribution, and promotion programs. Marketing is a social and managerial process by which
individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and value with others.

Market Orientation
• Marketing Myopia : Coined by Prof. Theodore Levitt :
• While emphasising heavily on the product Co.s often forget that product after all is only a means to satisfy a particular customer need. This results in Marketing Myopia.
• Co.s suffering from the same by excessive attention to production, or product or selling at the cost of the customer and his actual needs.
Avoiding Marketing Myopia

broadly define organizational goals toward consumer needs.
