“The Dawn of Marketing”
The Evolution of “Marketing”
From a clearly defined
“Function & Process”
…to an
“All Encompassing
Philosophy”
Classic Functional Definition
All activities performed in
between:
The Point of Production
&
The Point of Consumption
st
1
Formal Definition ~1919
*Marketing and Merchandising by
Ralph Butler & John Swinney,
 Marketing
defined
as ‘the manner in
which the product
is disposed of,
the way in which
it is distributed…,
through various
channels of
trade.”
24
•Book distinguishes
marketing from
merchandising,
•w/ marketing being
something
manufacturers do
•& merchandising
being the domain of
jobbers; retailers.
Marketing Defined -1935 -
“The performance
of business
activities that direct
the flow of goods &
services from
producers to
consumers.”
Marketing Definedas a Process- 1985
"The process of planning &
executing the conception,
pricing, promotion &
distribution of ideas, goods
& services to create
exchange & satisfy
individual & organizational
objectives"
The Latest Official
AMA Definition (circa 2004)
 ..an organizational
function &
a set of processes
creating,
communicating &
delivering value to customers

for
 & for
managing customer
relationships in ways that
benefit the organization & its
stakeholders
Why the changed
focus?
What happened
between 1985
& 2004 that
made the AMA
change the
definition of
marketing?
The AMA Rationale: “Technology &
marketing been changing quite rapidly over last five to 10
years…
Marketing should
be customercentric -- not
brand-centric"

30
The 1985 definition was not encompassing
enough. The new definition more clearly
infuses the customer into marketing."
Management Reorientation:
The Marketing Concept
Focus on
Consumer
– Not
product
Long –Term
Relationships
Not Shortterm Sales
Marketing > Function
=An Orientation ”
“Marketing
is so basic
that it cannot be
considered a
separate function on a
par w/others such as manufacturing or
personnel…
Marketing > Function
=An Orientation
“Marketing is…
…the whole business
seen from the point of
view of its final result,
-from the customers’
point of view.”

Marketing’s new definition
reflects a broadened focus -
Was focused on short term profitable transactions…
–

Was focused on capturing new customers….
–

Now use integrated strategy w/ all points of contact
Was segmented on geo/demographic variables
–

Now focus on keeping existing customers
Was focused on mass- media advertising......
–

Now look at customers' lifetime value
Now use all relevant variables, especially behavioral
variables -- usage rate & loyalty
Performance was measured by financial metrics…
–
Now also measured strategic & customer-satisfaction
metrics
Changed focus--resulted in
restructuring:
 Company
–
Now organized by customer segment
 The
–
marketing department did the marketing…
Now everyone does some marketing
 Company
–
was the unit of analysis.........
Now whole value chain is unit of analysis
 Had
–
was organized by product units.....
individual / hierarchical work structures…
Now cross functional teams

In the olden days- … Marketing
was defined “categorically”
according to the “tangibility”of the
entity you were selling:
Pure
tangible
good; no
service
Milk
Hybrid:
equal part
Tangible
goods with goods and
service
some

Intangibility
Services cannot
be experienced
before
purchase
Variability
Quality of
services depends
on who provides
them & when,
where, & how
Inseparability
Services cannot
be separated
from their
providers
Perish-ability
Services cannot
be stored for
later sale or use
Re: service marketing –
for decades this has been the thinkingSeparate Products
from Services
Key Point- Product-service differentiation
is result of industrial age-2nd wave
thinking
1.Only have meaning from a
manufacturing
perspective… and
2.Suggest inappropriate
marketing strategies
A shift in perspective
Instead of focusing on
product – service
differences
…Focus on consumer
commonalities
…in “consuming &
evaluating” that which is
purchased
Re- Variabilty:
 Customizaton not standardization is the goal
Re-Inseparability:
 “Customer-ization” not isolation = goal
Re-Perishability:
 Services can be/are inventoried (ie-knowledge in
databases & experts head) AND Inventory management
not maximization is objective; Everything is perishable—if
not in substance certainly in style…
Re: Intangibility:
 its not the product that people are buying. It’s the
functions served & benefits rendered- as it is w/
services

Issues Addressed:
 Does Marketing Have Appropriate Boundaries– on what &
how it “sells”?
 Is the practice of Multilevel Marketing -pyramid schemeslegitimate?
 Is Relationship Marketing a Tenable Concept?
 Is Mass Customization the Wave of the Future?
 Are Outrageous Prices Inhibiting Consumer Access to
Life-Sustaining Drugs?
 Will E-Commerce Eliminate Traditional Intermediaries?
 Is Communications Technology “Death of the
Salesman”?
 The New Marketing Paradigm Shift: Are Consumers
Dominating the Balance of Power in the Marketplace?
Fact is--these & most issues…
Are
RE-CURRENT
issuesthat Ebb & Flow
w/ socioeconomic
events
We could- examine
these issues 1 by 1…
Boring!
Too Simple
& Just too
Superficial
“Yes… you seem to
be suffering from
a marketing issue”
Examining
only
symptoms
--not
diagnosing
the cause
Ergothe Real
Question is….
Ergothe Real
Question is….
Marketing’s “utility”/value derived
from its Facilitation of Exchange!
Willing
to sell
Temporal Utility
Spatial Utility
Transactional Utility
Marketing
Willing
to buy
Key Point:
Keep Marketing in Perspective
Anything/Everything
one does to facilitate
exchange
Whatever impacts
Why- What- Where- When- How
Exchange occurs…
is (or becomes) an Issue…
Marketing Issues
in
Perspective
Marketing - part of Business
& Business - part of Society
Marketing
Business
Society
“Societal
Change”
creates
“issues” for
Business…
which creates
“issues” for
Marketing
Thus- in order to
identify- anticipate- understand
Marketing Issues
in particular
One needs to
identify-anticipateunderstand
Societal Change
in general
Society Defined:
A group of humans broadly
distinguished by:
mutual interests,
participation in characteristic
relationships,
shared institutions, &
a common culture
In the final analysis marketing
strategy is formulated to address…
THUS-
Patterns
of/changes to:
human interests,
relationships,
institutions &
culture…
…become
marketing issues
Hence- our search for marketing
issues begins w/ examination of…
& what better
time to study
Societal Change
…We are living
thru one of the
great periods of
societal
change in the
history of
humankind…
We’re in midst - next great Paradigm Shift…
… in the way we
live, communicate, work, produce & consume…
