Unit 10 MARKETING

THE CENTRALITY OF MARKETING
1 Most management and marketing writers now distinguish between selling and marketing. The 'selling concept' assumes that resisting consumers have to be persuaded by vigorous hard-selling techniques to buy non-essential goods or services. Products are sold rather than bought. The 'marketing concept', on the contrary, assumes that the producer's task is to find wants and fill them. In other words, you don't sell what you make you make what will be bought. As well as satisfying existing needs, marketers can also anticipate and create new ones. The markets for the Walkman, video games, personal computers, and genetic engineering, to choose some recent examples, where largely created rather than identified.

2 Markets are consequently always looking for market opportunities - profitable company is likely to enjoy a differential advantage, due to its distinctive competencies (the things is does particularly well). Market opportunities are generally isolated by market segmentation. Once a target market has been identified, a company has to decide what goods or services to offer. This means that much of the work of marketing has been done before the final product or service comes into existence. It also means that that the marketing concept has to be understood throughout the company, e.g. in the production department of a manufacturing of company as much as in the marketing department itself. The company must also take account of the existence of competitors, who always have to be identified, monitored and defeated in the search for loyal customers.

3 Rather than risk launching a product or service solely on the basis of intuition or guesswork, most companies undertake market research (GB) or marketing research (US). They collect and analyze information about the size of a potential market, about consumers' relations to particular product or service features, and so on. Sales representatives, who also talk to consumers, and other important source of information.

4 Once the basic offer, e.g. a product concept, has been established, the company has to think about marketing mix, i.e. all the various elements of a marketing programm, they integration, and the amount of effort that a company can expand on them in order to influence the target market. The best-known classification of these elements is the '4 Ps': product, place, promotion and price. Aspects to be considered in marketing products include quality, features (standard and optional), style, brand name, size, packaging, services guarantee. Place in a marketing mix includes such factors as distribution channels, location of points of sale, transport, inventory size, etc. Promotion groups together advertising, publicity, sales promotion, an personal selling, while price includes the basic list price, discounts, the length of payment period, possible credit terms, and so on. It is the job of a product manager or a brand manager to look for ways to increase sales by changing the marketing mix.

5 It must remembered that quite apart from consumer markets (in which people buy products for direct consumption) there exist an enormous producer or industrial or business market, consisting of all the individuals and organizations that acquire goods and services that are used in production of other goods, or in the supply of services to others. Few consumers realize that the producer market is actually larger than the consumer market, since it contains all the row materials, manufactured parts ad components that go into consumer goods, plus capital equipment such as buildings and machines, supplies as energy and pens and paper, and service ranging from cleaning to management consulting, all of which have to be marketed. There is consequently more industrial than consumer marketing, even though ordinary consumers are seldom exposed to it.

TRADUCEREA (În Limba Română)

1. Majoritatea experţilor în management şi marketing fac în prezent o diferenţă între procesul de vînzare şi  marketing. Conceptul de vânzare prevede că consumatorii capricioşi, trebuie convinşi prin tehnici efective (rezultative) de vânzare pentru a procura bunuri şi servicii care nu sunt necesare (neînsemnate).  Produsele sunt mai mult vândute decât cumpărate. Conceptul de marketing, din contra, presupune că obligaţia producatorului este de a identifica cereri (doleanţe) şi de a le satisface (îndeplini). Cu alte cuvinte, nu se vinde ceea ce se produce, ci se produce ceea ce va fi vândut. Asemenea satisfacerii necesităţilor curente (existente), marketologii pot anticipa şi crea alte noi. Lansarea pe piaţă a “Walkman-ului” , jocurilor video, computerelor personale, ingineriei genetice – pentru a enumera câteva produse mai recente, presupune mai degrabă  elaborarea acestor produse, decît identificarea lor.

2. Prin urmare, marketologii, sunt mereu în căutarea unor noi oportunităţi pe piaţă – posibilităţi profitabile de a suplini necesităţile nesatisfăcute sau de a crea altele noi, în cazul în care compania se pare că preferă un avantaj diferenţial datorită competenţelor diverse (lucruri pe care le fac deosebit de bine). Oportunităţile pieţii sunt determinate de către domeniile acesteia. Odată ce pe piaţă a fost identificată o ţintă (obiectiv, scop) compania trebuie sa decidă ce marfuri şi servicii să presteze. Aceasta înseamnă că cea mai mare parte a muncii de marketing (activităţi de marketing) este facută înainte de apariţia produsului sau serviciului final. Deasemenea semnicifă faptul că conceptul de marketing trebuie să fie inţeles în cadrul activităţii companiei, adică în departamentul industrial de producţie, la fel ca şi în departamentul de comercializare propriu. Deasemenea, compania trebuie să ţină cont de existenţa concurenţilor, care întotdeauna trebuie să fie identificaţi, monitorizaţi şi învinşi, în căutarea clienţilor fideli.

3. Pentru a evita riscul lansării unui product sau seriviciu doar în baza intuiţiei şi presupunerilor, majoritatea companiilor întreprind cercetări în domeniul pieţii (GB) sau al comercializării (US).
Ei colectează şi analizează informaţia despre mărimile şi potenţialul pieţii, despre reacţiile clienţilor la caracteristicile unui produs sau serviciu concret şi aşa mai departe. Reprezentanţii de vânzări, care discută cu clientii, reprezintă o alta sursă importantă de informaţie.

4. Odată ce oferta de bază, de exemplu un concept a fost introdus (lansat), compania trebuie să determine metodele de comercializare, adică includerea diverselor elemente marketologice, integrarea acestora, şi efortul utilizat în acest scop, pentru a influenţa sarcina pe piaţă. Cea mai cunoscută clasificare a acestor elemente în “4 puncte” este: produsul, spaţiu, promovare şi preţ.
Aspectele care trebuie luate în consideraţie în comercializarea produselor include calitatea, caracteristicile, stilul, brănd-ul, proporţiile, ambalarea, serviciile şi garanţia.
Desfăşurarea procesului de marketing, include factori precum distribuirea canalelor, locul punctelor de vânzare, transportul, mărimea (dimensiunea) inventarului etc. Promovarea cuprinde publicitatea, promoţiile de vânzare şi vânzare individuală, în timp ce preţul include lista preţurilor de baza, reduceri, durata perioadei de plată, condiţiile posibile de creditare, şi aşa mai departe. Este obligaţiunea unui manager de producţie de a caută modalităţi de creştere a vânzărilor prin intermediul modificării procesului de comercializare.

5. Trebuie de reţinut că în afară de piata de consum (în care oamenii cumpara produsul pentru consumul direct), există o enormă (imensă) piată producatoare: industrială, sau de afaceri, care cuprinde toate persoanele fizice sau organizaţiile care achiziţionează mărfuri şi servicii utilizate în producerea altor bunuri, sau în prestarea de servicii pentru alţii. Puţini (clienţi) consumatori realizează că piaţa de consum; întru cît conţine materie primă, piese şi componente fabricate care intră în bunurile de consum, plus echipamentul de capital precum cladirile si maşinile, rechizite ca energia şi stilourile şi hîrtia, servicii care variază de la curăţare până la consultanţa în management, acestea toate necesitând comercializare. Exista prin urmare, un market industrial, ci nu unul de consum, chiar dacă consumatorii obişnuiţi sunt rareori expuşi la acesta.


ПЕРЕВОД (на русский язык)
 Центрированность маркетинга.
1. Большинство писателей в области маркетинга и менеджмента в настоящее время проводят границу между маркетингом и продажами. Концепция «продажи» подразумевает, что сопротивляющегося покупателя нужно убеждать при помощи решительных техник тяжелых продаж покупать не необходимые товары или услуги. Продукты скорее продаются, чем покупаются. Концепция маркетинга, наоборот, предполагает, что цель производителя - поиск потребностей и их удовлетворение. Другими словами, вы не продаёте то, что производите, вы производите то, что будет куплено. На ровне с удовлетворением существующих нужд, маркетологи могут прогнозировать и создавать новые. Из недавних примеров, внимания заслуживает маркетинг Walkman, видеоигр, персональных компьютеров и генной инженерии, которые были скорее созданы, чем определены.
2. Соответственно, продавец постоянно ждёт удобный случай – прибыльные возможности для удовлетворения существующих нужд, или создания новых в тех областях, в которых компания может получить конкурентные преимущества благодаря особым знаниям (то, что у неё получается особенно хорошо). Рыночные возможности обычно отделяются сегментированием рынка. Как только целевой рынок будет определён, компания решает, какие товары или услуги предлагать. Это означает, что большая часть работы в области маркетинга уже будет проделана к моменту начала существования конечного продукта или услуги. Это также означает, что концепция маркетинга должна пониматься всей компанией, например, в производственном отделе копании по производству, точно так же, как и в самом маркетинговом отделе. Компания также должна считаться с наличием конкурентов, которых необходимо обозначить, наблюдать за ними и побеждать в борьбе за лояльных покупателей.
3. Вместо того, чтобы рисковать, запуская продукт, основываясь лишь на интуиции или догадках, большинство компаний проводит исследование рынка (Великобритания) или маркетинговое исследование (США). Они собирают и анализируют информацию о размере потенциального рынка, о реакции потребителей на определенные характеристики продукта или услуги и т.д. Представители компании, которые общаются с клиентами, являются другим важным источником информации.
4. Как только базовое предложение, например, концепция продукта, будет установлена, компания должна думать о маркетинговом миксе т.е. о различных элементах маркетинговой программы, их интеграции и количестве усилий, которые компании необходимо приложить, чтобы повлиять на целевой рынок. Наиболее известной классификацией этих элементов выступает принцип 4х: продукт, место, продвижение и цена. Аспектами, которые подразумеваются под маркетингом продукта, выступают качество, особенности (стандартные и дополнительные), стиль, брэнд, размер, упаковка, дополнительные услуги и гарантия. Под местом в маркетинг миксе подразумеваются такие факторы, как каналы дистрибуции, места и точки продаж, транспортировка, объемы запасов и т.д. Продвижение объединяет в себе рекламу, продвижение и личные продажи, а то время, как цена включает стандартную цену, скидки, длину периода оплаты, возможные и т.д. Работа менеджера по продажам в том и заключается, чтобы поднять продажи, изменяя маркетинговый микс.
5. Нужно помнить, что отдельно от потребительского рынка  (при котором люди покупают товары для прямого потребления) существует огромный рынок производителей, индустрии, бизнеса, состоящая из всех людей и организаций, приобретающих товары и услуги, использующиеся в производстве других товаров, или в предоставлении услуг другим. Мало потребителей понимает, что рынок производителей на самом деле больше потребительского рынка, потому что он содержит всё сырье, произведенные детали и компоненты, которые затем идут на производство потребительских товаров, плюс, капитальное оборудование, такое как здания и станки, такие ресурсы, как энергия, ручки и бумаги, и услуги, варьирующиеся от уборки до консалтинга менеджмента, которые тоже необходимо продавать. Как следствие, производственного маркетинга больше, чем потребительского, даже несмотря на то, что обычные потребители редко с ним сталкиваются.
