Marketing Effectiveness
• Total Success: High profitability at
maximum possible rate
• Partial Success: New customers replace
lost customers
• Partial Failure: Sales slow or fall due to a
lack of new customers
• Total Failure: Sales fall as customers leave
11
Key Elements in Marketing
• Market (size, growth
rate, location)
• Environment
(competition, entry
barriers, constraints)
• Customers (who,
why, when, where
how, what)
• Marketing Mix
12
Market Forecast
• Demand forecast is critically important
• Four-step process by Barnett (Source: F. William
Barnett, “Four Steps to Forecast total Market Demand,” Harvard
Business Review, July/August 1988)
• (1) Define the market - Total Sales revenue
per year of all products delivering similar
benefits to customers regardless of physical
and functional features
13
Market Forecast
• (2) Segment the market - Subdivide total
market into homogeneous customer
subgroups with similar buying behavior and
preferences
• (3) Determine segment drivers and predict
their changes - key factors affecting the
segment growths
14
Market Forecast
• (4) Conduct sensitivity analyses - assess
risks and check assumptions
• Application examples: (a) Industrial
product - Segments based on industries with
individual segment growth rates as drivers,
assuming product demand is proportional to
growth and business levels involved
15
Market Forecast
• (b) Electricity - segments of industrial,
commercial and residential; drivers are:
business climate and industrial growth rate
for industrial; Internet sales increase,
consumer confidence, stock market
performance for commercial; new home
sales, change in home size and energy
efficiency of appliances for residential
16
Environment
• Market study is needed to assess:
• Competition (market share distribution,
technology, brand strength, marketing
position, customer loyalty, etc.)
• Barriers of entry (capital, technology,
supply chains, distribution channels,
governmental regulations, etc.)
17
Customer Orientation
• Define needs through research (real value of a
product to customer - prestige, convenience)
• Define market segments (groups with similar
needs to facilitate product customization)
• Differentiate products and communications
(e.g., “Dude” selling Dell computers)
• Create differentiated advantages for
customers
18
Customers
• Who (Profile, who buy from competitors,
who does the buying, for whom is the buying
done)
• Why (Reasons for product preference: price,
product performance, convenience, product
styling, service, packaging)
• What (What for, what value benefit, what
they really want? what needed in the future?)
19
Customers
• Where (where to get product information,
where is buying decision made, where to
buy from: Retail store, mail order, via
internet, department store, discount store )
• How (How to decide, how to compare)
• When (When to buy, weekly, monthly,
special occasions, etc.)
20
Who Makes What Decisions
for Whom?
Consumer
(End-user)
Buyer
(Purchaser)
Prescriber
(specifier

on needs
and its
satisfaction)
21
Market Segmentation
• Purpose
• Segmentation Steps
• Criteria for Creating
an Effective
Segmentation Strategy
• Pitfalls of Market
Segmentation
22
Purpose
• Divide consumers into groups having similar
product/service preferences (divide/conquer)
• Value to Company: (1) Match products/
service better to the groups, (2) Create suitable
channels of distribution to reach them,
(3) Uncover new consumer groups, not being
served sufficiently in the past, (4) Focus on
niches being neglected by competition
23
Additional Segmentation
Benefits to Company
•
•
•
•
Develop suitable marketing strategies
Formulate better-fitting marketing programs
Track changes of buying behavior over time
Evaluate company’s competitive position in
these segments
• Achieve improved effectiveness in utilizing
marketing resources
24
Pitfalls
• Over-Segmentation (small sizes,
fragmented segments difficult for company
to serve -scale of economy) - Newer supply
chains allows “build-to-order” strategies to
serve smaller segments (Dell, Custom beer,
Chinese foods, etc.)
• Over-concentration (lack of balance
between segments)
25
Problem 9.1
• Which are the bases for tradeoffs between
conflicting wants and needs of different
customers with respect to the same
product? How important is it to emphasize
product quality, when a new, unique
product is launched?
26
Answer 9.1
• Customers make the following typical
tradeoffs: (1) Quality versus price, (2)
Common features versus customization, (3)
Automated self-service versus personalized
attention, (4) Technical functionality versus
styling and other aesthetic values
• When launching new products, quality is
secondary to time-to-market and price. The
strength of a new product lies in its novelty

Marketing Mix
• Product Strategy: Functional attributes,
compatibility to customer needs,
distinguishable features over competition,
product-line strategy, product/market fit
• Promotion/Communication Strategy:
How to promote, adopt pull/push, which
media to use, fit promotion to market
segment selected
29
Marketing Mix
• Pricing Strategy: Skimming or penetration
based pricing, value-added pricing, target
pricing, pricing fit to market segment
• Placement (Distribution) Strategy:
Intensive, exclusive or selective distribution,
relationship with intermediaries (retailers,
wholesalers), changes in distribution
logistics and technologies
30
Product Strategy
• Nature of Products
• Life Cycle of
Products
• New Product
Development Process
• Product Failure
(Rate, Reasons)
• Summary
31
Product Positioning
• What product features to include and
emphasize - critically important
• Selection of product features to place new
(or existing) products in a favorable
position with respect to competition customer preferences and gap created by
existing products in marketplace
• Example: Automobiles
32
Product Life Cycle
• Every Product goes through a number of
phases: (1) Initiation (product development,
testing, market development, advertising),
(2) Growth (product promotion, market
acceptance, profit growth), (3) Stagnation
(price competition, substitution, new
technologies), (4) Decline (cash cow
strategy, product withdrawal)

Product Supply Curve
• Product supply curve describes the market
behavior of companies -- supplying larger
quantity of products in the product price is
raising to higher levels in search of higher
profits
• Product innovations -- better products or
lower product price, causing demand to
increase and downward shift of supply curve

Products/Brands
• Brand - A Distinct identity that
differentiates a relevant, enduring and
creditable promise of value associated with a
product, service or organization that
indicates the source of that promise. It
represents all images and experience
customers have of and with the
organization.
38
Promise of Value Brand Examples
•
•
•
•
IBM - Superior Service and support
Apple - Simple and easy to use
Lucent - Newest technologies
Gateway - Friendly service

Problem 9.3
• Is it better to market a new product quickly
and then improve the design later or to
incorporate all design modification/
improvements before launching the
product?
41
Answer 9.3
• Marketing product quickly is a superior
strategy for new products, as doing so will
allow (1) Brand name build up, (2) Customer
loyalty creation, (3) Customer retention due to
“switching costs,” and (4) earlier customer
response assessment, (5) Steady product design
improvements, and (6) Larger gross margin for
lack of competition in earlier phase of product
life cycle.
42
Answer 9.3
• Waiting to market the new product until all
conceivable design improvements have
been incorporated suffers from two
drawbacks: (1) Not offering what exactly
what the customers want and need (due to a
lack of customer feedback), (2) Loss of a
preemptive marketing advantage
43
Problem 9.4
• How can product development costs be
reduced by entering the market late?
44
Answer 9.4
• Some companies follows the “best follower”
strategy; Wait until a new product is about to take
off, reverse engineer the competitor’s products,
modify the product features, and enter the market
with imitation products to compete at a slightly
lower price
• In 1985-86, IBM started with the innovative PCs,
followed by many clones thereafter
• Follower realizes smaller gross margin, never a
leader
45
Problem 9.5
• For products intended for the global
markets, customers’ wants and needs are
regionally different. How can a centralized
concurrent engineering team develop a
product, which serves as the common
“platform” for the global markets?
46
Answer 9.5
• One option is to segregate the mechanical
aspects (functionality) of the products from
their aesthetic aspects (look and feel)
• General Motors is accomplishing this
challenging objective by: (1) Build identical
assembly plants for Buick cars at four global
locations, (2) Outsource major subassemblies
to local industries to reduce import duties and
to satisfy local content laws
47
Answer 9.5
• (3) Standardize the technical specifications so
that parts are globally interchangeable for load
balancing (market demands, labor disputes,
regulations, etc.), (4) Allow design changes to
account for local market conditions (cultural
preferences in car names, styling, color), (5)
Retain centralized concurrent engineering
approach to implement global business
strategy and realize scale of economy benefit
48
Pricing Strategy
• Pricing Options
• Factors affecting
Price
• Pricing Methods
49
Pricing Options
• Skimming Strategy - Set premium price
initially to capture high profitability from
affordable customers and then reduce price in
time to reach additional customers in the
marketplace (e.g., new books, ginger)
• Penetration Strategy - Set price low to
penetrate the market rapidly for setting barrier
of entry to late-coming competitors (e.g.,
Microsoft Office 2000, Japanese motor cycles)
50
Pricing Methods
• Cost: Price = Cost + Markup (e.g., 30% of cost)
• Profit: Price = Cost + Profits (e.g., ROI)
• Market: Set price to what the buyers are willing
to pay (imperfect information distribution, the
next best alternative available to buyer)
• Value: Set price in proportion to product’s value
added to buyer (application know-how)
• Competition: Set price at level charged by
competition (Target Pricing)
51
Target Pricing
• Set the selling price based on customer inputs
and market survey and determine pertinent
product features
• Add a gross margin that company must have
• Obtain the Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) that
must not be exceed
• Define material/parts, design, product
development, and production method to meet
CGS target

service and support.
59
Best Practice Examples
• Amazon.com - Tailor product offerings to
individual preference, one-click
convenience, error-free delivery; 59%
business from repeat customers
• EBay - Assure satisfaction of auction,
buyer and seller rate each other, insurance
of firs $200, Money in escrow account until
buyers are satisfied, 50% of customers are
referrals
60
Summary
• What Engineering Managers should strive to do?
(1) Understand the very important roles played
by marketing and certain marketing issues
affecting engineering, (2) Become versed in
marketing mix, (3) Recognize the uncertainties
involved in marketing (customer perceptions,
competitive analysis, sales forecasts), (4) Adopt
the customer orientation in all engineering
programs, (5) Provide required supporting
61
engineering inputs.
Summary - Engineering Inputs
• Product: Innovative design, product features,
use of technologies, efficient production
systems and processes, reliability, service,
quality, maintenance.
• Price: Cost control, improved cost analysis
(ABC)
• Promotion: Brochures, training, analysis of
feedback
• Distribution: Logistic optimization
62
Summary
• Marketing and Innovation are two principal
functions of an enterprise
• Engineers know how to innovate, they also
need to become effective in interacting with
marketing to assure business success of any
enterprise - This combination of capabilities
will enable them to become major contributors
to product-based profit-seeking enterprises
