, • Definition
 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.
 In business context: To build and maintain profitable customer relationships
o Exchange = the core of marketing
• Exchange = the act of obtaining a desired object from someone by offering something
in return
 At least two parties
 Each must hold something of value to offer
 Parties must want to deal with each other
• Exchange creates value, gives people more consumption choices or possibilities
o Value
• Customer value: the consumer’s assessment (=beoordeling) of the product’s overall
capacity to satisfy his or her needs
• PERCEIVED value!!! (=waargenomen)
• Example: Tesla
 What are the benefits? Don’t need to buy gas, less pollution, movement, …
 What are the drawbacks? Very expensive
 ➔ perceived value? Negative: a lot of kilometers to get big utility, but you get
the status and it’s a nice car
• We don’t buy them for only the practical value!
• Example 2: British royal mail with prior stamp
 97% gets delivered the next day, but no one believes that of the post
 Perception is really important ➔ not everything can be measured

and organization-wide responsiveness to it
 Organization-wide belief in delivering customer value: the status of your company is very
important!
