On the other hand, I will present Google’s competing strategy. First, Apple focuses on each part of the 4Ps of their strategy: According to their products,their main focus is innovation that makes their product superior to the competition. Innovation, not only technologically, but also innovation in their aesthetics, features, quality etc… and that’s a result of massive marketing research that analyzes the changes in consumer behavior and needs. In their new products they make the old one outdated and they create the need for customers to by the newer versions of their products.

...Marketing reflection Name Institution An organization cannot succeed without effective marketing, regardless of its reputation. Marketing is a process in which an organization understands the needs of customers, and delivers products to fulfill those specific needs at the right time and place. Marketing is a management function through which goods and services move from concepts to consumers. Throughout the course, my definition of marketing has changed. I used to think marketing is the same as selling, however there is a big difference. Selling is about the techniques used to get people to buy a product, selling even involves tricking people about characteristics of a product so that they can purchase. Marketing on the other hand is about prioritizing customer needs and ensuring that they are satisfied. Marketing is a complex process that is made up of various concepts that come together to ensure customer satisfaction. Marketing is not about getting customers to pay for the products, but it is about creating a demand for the product and satisfying customer’s needs. The definition of marketing is not complete without the 4P’s of marketing. Marketing is about creating the right product, at the right price, locating it at the right place and using the right promotion in the target market. 4Ps of marketing are the key concepts in marketing. Even with the right product, when the product is not placed in the right place at the right time an organization will fail. 4Ps...

...added to create a price. But the sheer vast number of products that a company may sell makes it an extremely complex task to calculate price based on cost inputs, price of alternatives, etc. The variables affecting price may also change continuously and it’s a daunting task to track them all. Traditional methods of pricing may therefore ignore potential for higher revenues or a need to cut costs to match buyer sentiment and willingness. This is where Business Analytics has a role to play. By mining such ‘Big Data’, pricing predictions and prescriptions can be automated and based on much granular information. Such predictions and prescriptions regarding price will be made basis continuous interpretation of data and will be more reflective of the dynamic market conditions in which the prices are set. Revenues can thus be maximized and/or cost can be better managed. Eg: Fortune.com carried an article on how Big Oil is turning to Big Data in times of volatile gas prices. Data tools such as algorithms, sensor networks etc are helping to lower costs and to improve efficiency in oil infrastructure. This application of business analytics in pricing, one of the most important 4Ps of Marketing is interesting because price impacts or directs so many other functions in marketing. Price often determines packaging, the promotion message and strategy and perhaps also what quality of raw material is used (eg - a company may try to match market price at the cost of an unsustainable reduction...

...ASB-1104 Introduction to Marketing Assignment 1 In view of the dynamic nature of the marketing environment, to what extent do you consider consumers to be, in practice, central to marketing activities? Name: ZHUOMING AN Student No: 500356688 Tutor: David James Introduction What is marketing? The answer is not changeless. There are some different definitions about marketing. The Chartered Institute of Marketing define that "Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying consumers' requirements profitably." (CIM). Taking a concern into this definition, it indicates that marketing begins before a product or service is developed. In additional, it also explain that marketing involves identifying an unsatisfied consumer need or want and determining if a profitable opportunity exists. Another definition is that “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." (Kotler et al., 2005). The basic idea of this definition is that core to all marketing activities is customer satisfaction, which means marketing is an ongoing process as consumer demands and the environment is constantly changing. Products need to adapt as demands change. At the same time, marketing does not involve misleading, tricking or manipulation the customer. The Jobber also define the marketing is "The achievement of corporate goals through meeting...

If we all want to utilize the resources equally with equal lifestyle, we would have required more than the only planet Earth we have. According to Global Footprint Network (2010), countries like USA, Canada, and Australia would require 8, 7 and 6.8 of Earths to support their citizens if they all wanted to have same lifestyle. Unfortunately, the world has got limited resources and so do the Business. Business has to create value for the consumer. Now, what value are we taking into consideration? Is it actually creating a value to the consumer by respecting our moral values and obligation to the mother Earth? This research is an eye opener to the world. This leads to the question: are we in a position to satisfy our needs in this manner while abundance is not a mere luxury? Marketers always strive to make profit through best...
