Marketing Conceptual frame work:[/b]
There are five competing concepts, under which organizations can chose to conduct their marketing activities:
1) The production concept
2) The product concept
3) The selling /sales concept
4) The Marketing concept
5) The societal marketing concept
1) The production concept:[/b]
It holds that consumers will favor those products that are widely available and low in cost. Managers of production-oriented organizations concentrate on achieving high production efficiency and wide distribution.
The assumption that consumers are primarily interested in product availability and price holds in at least two situations. The first is where the demand for a product exceeds supply, as in many developing countries. Here consumers are more interested in obtaining the product than in its fine points, and suppliers will concentrate on finding ways to increase production. The second situation is where the product’s cost is high and has to be decreased to expand the market.
2) The product concept:[/b]
It holds that consumer will favor those products that offer the most quality, performance, or innovative features. Managers in product oriented organizations focus their energy on making superior products and improving them over time.
3) The selling concept/sales concept:[/b]
It holds that consumers, if left alone, will ordinarily not buy enough of the organization’s products. The organization must therefore undertake an aggressive selling and promotion efforts.
Most firms practice the selling concept when they have over capacity. Their aim is to sell what they make rather than make what the market wants. In moderns industrial economies, productive capacity has been built up to a point where most markets are buyer markets (i.e., the buyers are dominant) and sellers have to scramble hard for customers. Prospects are bombarded with television commercials, newspaper ads, direct mail, and sales calls. At every turn, someone is trying to sell something. As a result, public often identifies marketing with hard selling and advertising.
[/b]
4) The marketing concept:[/b]
[/b]
It holds that the key to achieving organizational goals consists of being more effective than competitors in integrating marketing activities towards determining and satisfying the needs and wants of target markets.
The marketing concept rests on four pillars: target market, customer needs, integrated marketing, and profitability,
Target Market: Select one or more market segments to enter.
Customer needs: Need is a state of deprivation of some basic satisfaction.
Integrated marketing: When all the company’s department s work together to serve the customer’s interests, the result is integrated marketing.
Profitability: The ultimate purpose of the marketing concept is to help organizations achieve their goals. In the case of private firms, the major goal is profit: in the case of nonprofit and public organizations, it is surviving and attracting enough funds to perform their work.
[/b]
5) The societal marketing concept[/b]:
It holds that the organization’s task is to determine the needs, wants, and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors in a way that preserves or enhances the consumer’s and the society’s well-beings.
