...戴尔笔记本电脑 中国大学生市场社会化媒体营销 策 划 书 管理学院13级2班 何宇涵 13314070 2014年9月19日 概述 戴尔公司线上直销的经营模式十分适合进行社会化媒体营销。大学生群体亦是笔记本电脑消费的重要群体之一。本策划即针对中国的大学生市场开展戴尔笔记本的营销。由于戴尔已建成完善的CRM体系和社交社区平台，本策划着眼于借助线上活动制造“buzz”：“How Dell You, Alien？！”和“戴尔助力优秀学子”。 环境简析 公司概况 戴尔（中国）有限公司成立于1998年，业务涉及台式电脑、笔记本电脑、服务器等。戴尔笔记本电脑在中国的市场份额排名第三，约为10%，仅次于联想的35%和华硕的14.5%（2014上半年）。 SWOT分析 本分析仅讨论戴尔在中国的营销情况，不涉及世界市场及电脑技术问题。 * S 优势 1. 依靠出色供应链管理建立的线上直销的经营模式：不设专卖店，省去了中间商的维护成本。这也是戴尔的标志性营销措施。 2. 个性化定制服务，顾客可以根据自己的需要调整电脑的配置； 3. 产品质量出色，在同行业中有“质量领导者”的地位。 * W劣势 1. 与联想、华硕等主要竞争者的同配置笔记本相比，价格较高。 2. 在三四线城市的品牌知名度不高，远不及“联想”的品牌家喻户晓。 * O机遇 1. 10年前，网购的安全性不被广大消费者信任。而如今网上购物逐渐成为潮流，戴尔的线上直销模式更容易为消费者所接受。 2. 大学教育愈发依赖电脑，大学生群体的市场需求量巨大。 * T 威胁 1. 替代品平板电脑对市场的侵蚀。平板电脑虽然配置不高，但是能胜任学生的学习需要，而且其轻薄便捷的特性是笔记本电脑无法媲美的。而戴尔在平板电脑领域并无建树。 目标顾客分析 大学生群体是笔记本电脑消费的主力军，也是本次营销的目标顾客。中国的在校大学生（包括大专）超过4500万人，且几乎每人都需要使用电脑，这是非常庞大的细分市场。再进一步分析消费者的行为习惯，不难发现，相当一部分大学生都会在高考结束后的暑假购买笔记本电脑，并且使用多年。所以，我们还专门针对高考结束后的准大一学生开展促销活动。 这一群体的购买需求是刚性需求（因学业需要不得不买），且作为熟练使用电脑和网络的群体，超过2/3的人会在购买前通过电脑门户网站或社交媒体了解电脑相关信息。这使得社交媒体营销大有可为。 营销目标说明 由于大学生群体消费能力有限而戴尔的价格不具备优势，因此戴尔应该在学生群体中塑造更为突出的品牌形象以换取品牌的溢价，并辅以促销手段刺激潜在客户购买。 故营销的目标包括在大学生群体中提高市场份额、提升品牌形象：在大学生群体中，品牌认同度超越华硕、与联想的差距缩小至40%，并在四年内，市场份额提升50%。 选择社交媒体区域和载体 戴尔公司本身已具备完善的官方网站、官方微博和线上支付平台，以及从促销到售后服务到公益全面覆盖的微信平台，故不再提及。我的营销重点在于依靠创意制造热点活动，着眼用户的分享和顾客的情感体验。 区域类型 | 载体 | 主要作用 | 社交娱乐/发布 | App游戏软件，微博 | 塑造品牌形象；提高品牌知名度 | 社交商业 | 官网线上购买促销活动 | 在不有损品牌形象的前提下迅速抢占市场份额 | 线上营销活动措施 1. “How Dell You, Alien？！” ...

...Nine Reasons for Product Development Copyright © 2007 by S. M. Ikhtiar Alam This is a very brief abstract of a training module for Product Development Professional “Product Development” refers to “New Product Development”. What is a new product? We have discussed nine types of products that we develop. All of them are new products in the sense that we change (hub, cross, dilute, adapt to new market needs) and improve existing products, follow the suit (make products similar to others as long as Contestable Market Effect is positive); we also make totally new to the world products (Zero-Based New Products), and/or commercialize something as a product which we already produce and consume only privately and not for sale as a product to other(s) through an exchange process (Non-Zero Based New Product) such as traditional cakes, fast foods, recipes, fruit juices, etc.). All of these are new products. Why does an organization need to develop new products? Organizations manage B-F-T for profits and thus need to change B (Benefit), F (Form), and or T (Technology). There are nine circumstances when such changes are needed. Each of these nine circumstances is called “Reasons for Product Development.” As an Operations Manager, if you do not know why you are producing a product, you are not sure exactly what you have to produce. This will lead to serious demotivation and commitment in managing the operations process effectively and efficiently. In most cases, you are a part...

...Strategy is sometimes confused with tactics, plans, vision and others due to the fact those concepts share certain similarities. By including ‘Long-term courses of action’ in our definition we differentiate strategy from tactics. Tactics are very short-term and they are based on existing strategy to address specific situation. ‘Open for adaptation’ specifies that strategy can be modified with time. This is in contrast with plans which are dropped if, for instance, circumstances change and plans cannot be executed. With regard to vision, which is a goal in the ‘far’ future it should be remembered that strategy directly refers to it but it consists of more than a goal. Strategy also provides certain ideas on how to reach the point where vision becomes reality. Our definition also fits well with the importance of flexibility in strategy as mentioned by Kanter (2002). That is, strategy should adapt to changing conditions much like improvisational theater. Defining whether an organisation has a strategy or not might prove difficult as the applicability of perceived strategies is subjective. One way to test the presence of the strategy is to ask a number of questions regarding crucial characteristics of the construct to different executives in the company. For instance, the following questions should be, if possible, answered by at least 3 top executives in the organization: 1. Does your company have a long-term (6 months or longer) general ‘plan’ of action? Yes/No 2. Does your company...

...to accomplish its mission, and initiatives. Consequently, executive leadership will support sustainable funding plans and lead the institution through these changes (UNM, 2006). In order to achieve success of this strategy several objectives must be accomplish. First having a more collaborative IT and integrated and governance structure helps the institution make the right decisions in respect to IT. These actions will help the Executive VPs to support the idea of IT funding based on value received (UNM, 2006). Within a strategic level, the only technologies that have changed more rapidly are information technology and communications. These changes are driving most of the changes in a more global business environment. Companies that are capable of getting their “arms around” their information systems and communications have a critical competitive advantage. Companies’ content with older technology will find themselves on the wrong side of an ever expanding technology driven gap in customer service, production flexibility, cost efficiency, customer technical support capability, and product customization and differentiation( UMN, 2006). Consequently, executive leadership will support sustainable funding plans and lead the institution through these changes. Communication plays a large part in this. Commitment on developing comprehensive IT human resource plans to include...

...To what extent are ‘big businesses’ poor at contingency planning? Contingency plans are made to deal with unplanned events such as natural and crises such as floods, fire, system failures or fatalities. For businesses this will be dependent on size or industry area, for example a small shop owner will have a different range of contingency plans to say that of a national bank. A contingency plan is generally made prior to a project taking place and forms part of the formal corporate planning process. Its two main aims being to firstly try and foresee any potential risks that are faced within the course of a projects life, and secondly it sets out guidelines to be followed in the event of any such event actually take place. Large businesses take these precautions generally as standard as in the process of projects, in the short run contingency planning may be costly to the businesses but in the long run it can save the business a lot of money in the event of such crisis. Small businesses often lack the resources and capital to undertake such thorough planning, often this leads to negative consequences for these businesses. When undertaking contingency planning businesses will use ‘SWOT matrix’ analysis, weighing up the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to carrying out a venture. By doing so businesses will firstly decide whether or not the plan is viable enough to carry on, after this it allows them to delve into what potential problems or threats and the likelihood...

...Basic Planning Basic planning is the process used by management to evaluate the organizational goals. The planning process also includes creating a plan so the set goal can be successfully achieved. The basic planning process is made up of seven steps. The steps are: setting objectives, analyzing and evaluating the environments, identifying the alternatives, selecting the best solution, implementing the plan, controlling and assessing the results. The South Carolina Beauty Bar does not have different managers or departments. Therefore, the owner, manager, and assistant manager play a role in the basic planning process.
