...CHAPTER 1 One more time: what is marketing? MICHAEL J. BAKER The enigma of marketing is that it is one of man’s oldest activities and yet it is regarded as the most recent of the business disciplines. Michael J. Baker, Marketing: Theory and Practice, 1st edn, Macmillan, 1976 Introduction As a discipline, marketing is in the process of transition from an art which is practised to a profession with strong theoretical foundations. In doing so it is following closely the precedents set by professions such as medicine, architecture and engineering, all of which have also been practised for thousands of years and have built up a wealth of descriptive information concerning the art which has both chronicled and advanced its evolution. At some juncture, however, continued progress demands a transition from description to analysis, such as that initiated by Harvey’s discovery of the circulation of the blood. If marketing is to develop it, too, must make the transition from art to applied science and develop sound theoretical foundations, mastery of which should become an essential qualification for practice. Adoption of this proposition is as threatening to many of today’s marketers as the establishment of the British Medical Association was to the surgeon–barber. But, today, you would not dream of going to a barber for medical advice. Of course, first aid will still be practised, books on healthy living will feature on the bestsellers list and harmless...

As “a set of techniques” and “a decision-making process”, marketing was able to sit comfortably in the nonprofit arts context during the 1970s and 1980s. However, recent recognition of marketing as “a management philosophy” has brought out incompatibilities between the customer orientation of the marketing notion and the Romantic view of artistic production. This article demonstrates that arts marketing writings embrace Romanticism through the following: generic marketing concept; relationship marketing approach; extended definition of the customer; extended definition of the product; and reduction of marketing to function. Such findings suggest that persistence of the existing belief system and the embeddedness of the market be considered when marketisation in the arts sector is analysed.

...From Marketing Mix to Relationship Marketing: Towards a Paradigm Shift in Marketing Management Decision, 1994, Vol. 32 Iss: 2, pp.4 – 20 Christian Grönroos, Professor of Marketing at the Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration in Helsinki, Finland. Abstract Discusses the nature and sometimes negative consequences of the dominating marketing paradigm of today, marketing mix management, and furthermore discusses how modern research into, for example, industrial marketing and services marketing as well as customer relationship economics shows that another approach to marketing is required.This development is supported by evolving trends in business, such as strategic partnerships, alliances and networks. Suggests relationship marketing, based on relationship building and management, as one emerging new marketing paradigm of the future.Concludes that the simplicity of the marketing mix paradigm, with its Four P model, has become a straitjacket, fostering toolbox thinking rather than an awareness that marketing is a multi-faceted social process, and notes that marketing theory and customers are the victims of today′s mainstream marketing thinking. By using the notion of a marketing strategy continuum, discusses a number of consequences of a relationship-type marketing strategy for the focus of marketing, pricing, quality management, internal marketing and intraorganizational development. Briefly comments on the possibility of developing a general marketing theory...

...dominant marketing mix paradigm become a strait-jacket? A relationship building and management approach may be the answer. From Marketing Mix to Relationship Marketing: Towards a Paradigm Shift in Marketing Christian Grönroos approach to marketing which eventually has entered the marketing literature[2, 4-14]. A paradigm shift is clearly under way. In services marketing, especially in Europe and Australia but to some extent also in North America, and in industrial marketing, especially in Europe, this paradigm shift has already taken place. Books published on services marketing[15-17] and on industrial marketing[18-20] as well as major research reports published are based on the relationship marketing paradigm. A major shift in the perception of the fundamentals of marketing is taking place. The shift is so dramatic that it can, no doubt, be described as a paradigm shift[21]. Marketing researchers have been passionately convinced about the paradigmatic nature of marketing mix management and the Four P model[22]. To challenge marketing mix management as the basic foundation for all marketing thinking has been as heretic as it was for Copernicus to proclaim that the earth moved[23, 24]. The purpose of this report is to discuss the nature and consequences of the dominating marketing paradigm of today, marketing mix management of the managerial school (cf.[25] and how evolving trends in business and modern research into, for example, industrial marketing, services marketing and...

Discusses the elements of a broadened concept on internal marketing, which emerges from: a systematic review and examination of the existing literature; case study material; ``expert'' opinion from leading academics; and interviews with managers. Richard J. Varey Barbara R. Lewis European Journal of Marketing, Vol. 33 No. 9/10, 1999, pp. 926-944. # MCB University Press, 0309-0566 Introduction Explicit discussion of the marketing concept in use in the internal operations of the organisation entered the marketing and service management literature in the late 1970s. However, this concept has origins in published discussions of the organisation of marketing systems from the early years of the twentieth century. It would seem that the essence of internal marketing is not a phenomenon of the post-industrial era...

...B2B Wavin Case Analysis Introduction Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing is fundamental in how successful a business is by concerning itself with the marketing of goods and services to customers. The nature of the customer, which is another organisation, is the key distinguishing feature between B2B and business-to-consumer (B2C). What should B2B marketing strive to achieve? In its most simple state B2B marketing should do, at the very least, two things. It should reduce the costs of doing business and enhance the relationship between trading companies by being more reliable, more accurate and more adaptable through the exchange of information. In trying to achieve these minimum requirements, if not more, B2B marketers face a variety of problems, these being the ability of identifying the customer, understanding the customer’s needs and creating value for the customer. In order to eliminate these problems four important concepts of B2B marketing can help the marketer. These are identifying customer value, segmentation, establishing and maintaining relationships within a network and the dimension of business ethics. The importance of these concepts can be divided into two main aspects. Firstly, we have the fundamentals of B2B marketing which are customer value and relationships, without these closely intertwined aspects there is no business as a company lacks, in simple terms, associations with customers and suppliers. Secondly, the strategy of an...

Resource allocation and resource dependency perspectives and classical psychological and consumer behavior theories have also been used to explain why organizations and consumers engage in relational behavior.

Marketing is a key functional area in the business organization that provides a visible interface with not only customers, but other stakeholders such as the media, investors, regulatory agencies, channel members, trade associations, as well as others. It is important when addressing marketing ethics to recognize that it should be examined from an individual, organizational, and societal perspective. Examining marketing ethics from a narrow issue perspective does not provide foundational background that provides a complete understanding of the domain of marketing ethics. The purpose of this chapter is to define, examine the nature and scope, identify issues, provide a decision-making framework, and trace the historical development of marketing ethics from a practice and academic perspective. DEFINITION OF MARKETING ETHICS Ethics has been termed the study and philosophy of human conduct, with an emphasis on the determination of right and wrong. For marketers, ethics...
