...world, some fail after a few months and others continue to grow as the years pass by. What makes the company fail or grow is the way they plan out their market plans. The marketing plans have to be taken into deeply consideration and have to work with the company in order for them to do greatly. When the marketing plans succeed, so does the company. Marketing plan is when the marketer of the company comes up with an organized plan in which the company can reach their marketing objectives. There are two plans that come into play when working on the marketing plan. The first one is called the strategic marketing plan which is when the marketer puts out an outline based on the company’s abilities and introduces it to the rest of the company’s workers. The second plan is called the tactical marketing plan which is when things like the pricing, promotion, and etc. come to play (Kotler, & Keller, Marketing Management, 2009).

In just a few short years, social media has grown into a global phenomenon, with hundreds of millions of users all over the world. With so many people logging into check their accounts every day, it’s little wonder that businesses have begun to look at social media for their own marketing efforts.

...Introduction The purpose of this essay is to analyse the macro environment of the new washing machine which is being developed for launch in 2008 by Smart Wash Company. An organization's marketing environment can be defined as: the actors and forces external to the marketing management function of the firm that impinge on the marketing management's ability to develop and maintain successful transactions with its customers (Kotler, 1997). Virtually all introductory textbooks in marketing reserve a section for an analysis of the macro environment (McCarthy, 1996). Thus, we aim to analyse the relevant macro environment for Smart Wash Company, so that we plan our marketing strategy and target the market in 2008. External environment The macro environment is generally categorized into demographic, political/legal, economic, cultural, technological and natural environments. The basic tenet is that what happens in the broader environment has significant implications for organizational functions (Mavondo, 1999). For example, McKee et al. (1989) found environmental turbulence to have a significant impact on marketing variables. The macro environment introduces a degree of homogeneity in a given industry through similarities in regulatory pressures, strategic alliances, human capital transfers, social and professional relationships and competency blueprints (Oliver, 1997). Environmental variation has been shown to impact on strategy (Hrebiniak & Joyce, 1985) and...

The dynamic relationships among consumer behavior, corporate strategy, and public policy are explored here through feedback with a system perspective and dynamics of cause-effect. Corporate ethics fell into five stages, since the 1960's the social expectations of the public with regard to corporations has increased substantially. Carroll (1979) stated that corporate achievement is essential for revaluating a business and those certain social criteria are also important. Consumers want to know about a corporation.
