    Chapter 1: The Nature of Marketing

    • Textbook: Foundations of Marketing by John Fahy and David Jobber (Seventh Edition)

    Introduction to Marketing

    • Understand and define marketing
    • Concept of customer value and satisfaction
    • Understand marketing orientation
    • Understand the marketing concept
    • Marketing Mix elements

    Marketing as a Process of Value Exchange

    • Marketing is a process of value exchange
    • Marketing is the delivery of value to customers at a profit (Fahy & Jobber, 2022)

    Marketing Definitions

    • Management process that identifies, anticipates, and supplies customer requirements profitably (CIM, cited in Dibb et al, 1997)
    • Social and managerial process through which individuals/organisations obtain their needs and wants through creating and exchanging value (Armstrong & Kotler, 2005)
    • Process of planning/executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchange/satisfy individual and organizational objectives (AMA, 2010)

    What is Marketed?

    • Goods
    • Services
    • Events
    • Experiences
    • Person's expertise
    • Places
    • Properties
    • Organizations
    • Information
    • Ideas

    Value Exchange for Marketing

    • At least two parties are needed for value exchange
    • Each party has something of value to the other
    • Parties involved can communicate and deliver the relevant item
    • Each party can reject the offer
    • Parties believe that the deal is fair and suitable

    Customer Value

    • Price Value: basic products at low prices, forego extra features
    • Emotional Value: differentiation beyond attributes, branding & brand image
    • Performance Value: innovative features, perceived quality
    • Relational Value: quality of service, high levels of trust
    • Customer Value = Perceived Benefits – Perceived Sacrifices
    • Product/service Benefits, Monetary/time Costs, Relational/image Benefits, Energy/psychological Costs.
    • Positive customer value occurs when perceived benefits outweigh perceived sacrifices

    Customer Satisfaction

    • The value offered must exceed that of the competition.
    • Customer satisfaction depends on perceived product performance compared to buyer expectations.
    • The purchase must meet or exceed buyer expectations

    Organizational Orientation

    • Different business orientations: production, sales, and customer.
    • The evolution of business orientation from production to customer orientation includes various stages.

    Market-Oriented vs Internally-Oriented Businesses

    • Market-oriented businesses prioritize customer needs throughout their operations, are responsive to change, value marketing research, and innovation.
    • Internally-oriented businesses value convenience, prioritize existing products, and often do not seek to fully understand the customer.

    Marketing Orientation: Efficiency and Effectiveness

    • Efficiency means doing things right (economically producing goods), effectiveness means doing the right things ( focusing on market needs).
    • An ineffective but efficient business will survive, but a highly effective but inefficient one will fail quickly.

    The Marketing Mix (4Ps)

    • Product: Development, Management, Features/benefits, Branding, Packaging, After-sales service.
    • Price: Costs, Profitability, Value for money, Competitiveness, Incentives.
    • Place: Access to market, Channel structure, Channel management, Retailer image, Logistics
    • Promotion: Communication mix, Advertising, Sales promotion, Sales, Public relations, Direct marketing.

    The 7Ps of Marketing

    • The 7Ps of marketing (product, price, place, promotion, people, physical environment, and process) build upon the basic 4 Ps, adding further detail including the people, the physical environment, and the process.

    Critiques of Marketing Approaches

    • 4Ps approach oversimplifies complex marketing realities and may not be sufficient in modern markets.
    • It frequently is good for mass markets but inadequate, and potentially misleading in fragmented ones.
    • Customer relationships and value creation are critical elements in the modern market.

    Products vs Services

    • Products are tangible goods, services are intangible.
