FOR THE NEW
ST

LEARNING OBJECTIVES REALITIES
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:
UV

1.1 Define the scope of marketing.
1.2 Describe the new marketing realities.
1.3 Explain the role of marketing in an organization.
1.4 Illustrate how to organize and manage a modern marketing department.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
IA

1. Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating,
communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer
relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. Marketing
_A

management is the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping,
and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior
customer value.
2. Companies aim to create value by marketing goods, services, events, experiences, persons,
places, properties, organizations, information, and ideas. Firms must constantly move
PP

forward. At greatest risk are those companies that fail to continually improve their
value offerings and marketing strategies.
3. Today’s marketplace is fundamentally different as a result of major societal
forces that have resulted in many new consumer and company capabilities. In
particular, technology, globalization, and social responsibility have created new
RO

opportunities and challenges and significantly changed marketing management.
Companies seek the right balance of tried-and-true methods with breakthrough
new approaches to achieve marketing excellence.

4. The holistic marketing concept is based on the development, design, and
implementation of marketing programs, processes, and activities that are
VE

grounded on breadth and interdependencies. Holistic marketing recognizes that
everything matters in marketing and that a broad, integrated perspective is often
necessary. The four components of holistic marketing are relationship
marketing, integrated marketing, internal marketing, and performance marketing.

OPENING THOUGHT

Good marketing is no accident. It is both an art and a science, and it results from careful
planning and execution using state-of-the-art tools and techniques. Skillful marketers are
continually updating classic practices and inventing new ones to find creative, practical ways
??

to adapt to new marketing realities. In this chapter, we lay the foundation for sound
marketing practices by reviewing important marketing concepts, tools, frameworks, and
issues. Marketing applies to a variety of different areas and is increasingly involving many
levels of the organization. Students who are not marketing majors may have some difficulty
accepting the encompassing role that marketing has on the other functional disciplines within

, a firm. For those students who have never been exposed to marketing and its components, the
instructor’s challenge is to educate the students about the world of marketing.


TEACHING STRATEGY AND CLASS ORGANIZATION
ST

PROJECTS

1. Semester-Long Marketing Plan Project
An effective way to help students learn about marketing management is
UV
through the actual creation of a marketing plan for a product or service.
This project is designed to accomplish such a task.

Dividing the class into groups, have each group decide on a ―fictional‖
consumer product or service they wish to bring to market. During the
course of the semester, each of the elements of the marketing plan,
coordinating with the text chapter, will be due for the instructor’s
IA

review. The instructor is encouraged to review each submission and
suggest areas for improvement, for more detailed study, or if acceptable,
to allow the students to proceed to the next phase in development.
Students can use a computer program in creating their proposals and
submissions and in their final presentation(s). At the end of the
_A

semester, each group is to present their entire marketing plan to the
class.

The following is an outline of this process:

Chapter # Title Element of the Marketing Plan Due

7 Crafting a Customer At this point in the semester,
Value Proposition and student projects should include

service’s brand positioning. In
relationship to the material
contained in the chapter, students
should have delineated and designed
a differentiated brand positioning
for their project.
