    Study Notes

    Consumer Behavior and Marketing Management

    • Marketing management is the process of setting goals, considering resources and opportunities, planning and executing activities, and measuring progress. It's an ongoing and repetitive process to respond to internal and external changes.
    • A key goal is satisfying consumer wants and needs. This requires understanding customer desires and ensuring products/services meet those needs.
    • Firms need to concentrate resource utilization to effectively satisfy a portion of consumer desires.
    • Understanding consumer behavior is essential for anticipating and reacting to customer needs, wants and desires.
    • Customer satisfaction is centered around value; companies need to offer products/services that provide more value than competitors, from the customer's perspective.
    • Customer value propositions represent the total benefits customers receive in exchange for their patronage and payment.
    • Global consumer culture describes a market segment of consumers who perceive themselves as global citizens living within a global village and who adopt global brands as an expression of this identification.
    • This culture transcends the country and culture of origin.
    • MNCs shape much of the consumer behavior exhibited within this culture.
    • The internal workings of the consumer mind are complex; consumers may embrace global brands but also protest MNC dominance.

    Uniqlo's Success

    • Uniqlo's global success is attributed to its strategy of offering innovative, high-quality products at low prices.
    • Uniqlo has a substantial retail presence with 1400 stores in 16 countries.
    • Essential factors to consider regarding the store layout, online purchase process, and customer experience contribute to a company's success.
    • Uniqlo has built a reputation with high-quality products that are adaptable beyond fashion trends.
    • Uniqlo employs celebrities and influencers to enhance its image and create limited edition products.

    Global Consumer Culture

    • Global consumer culture is a market segment where consumers view themselves as global citizens.
    • MNCs play a significant role in shaping consumer behavior in this segment.
    • Consumers may both embrace global brands and protest multinational corporations. Debating cultural implications is important.
    • Standardization in marketing is economical, allowing the same products and messages globally. Coca-Cola utilized a one-brand strategy (Taste the Feeling campaign) to standardize marketing in 2016.
    • Standardization can be applied to all or parts of a marketing strategy (the 4 Ps).
    • The spread of global brands like Starbucks and Ikea can be viewed as cultural imperialism influencing indigenous cultures. Products like Red Bull and smartphones in various regions raise questions about cultural appropriateness.
    • There are opposing views on the introduction of advanced technology—some believing it enhances quality of life, while others emphasizing sustainable consumption and minimizing unneeded purchases (e.g., Patagonia's "Don't Buy This Jacket" campaign).

    Marketing Strategies

    • Standardization: Applying domestic product standards (tangible and intangible attributes) to foreign markets. This is cost-efficient.
    • Localization: Adapting marketing mix elements to different national markets.
    • Glocalization: Combining standardization and localization.
    • International marketing segmentation: Identifying potential customer segments with homogenous attributes and similar responses to marketing mixes.
