organizations and individuals within a society
✓As laws and regulations change often, this is a very important aspect for a
marketer to monitor.
Macro environment
• Cultural environment
✓Consists of institutions and basic values and beliefs of a group of people
✓ The values can also be further categorized into core beliefs, which passed on from
generation to generation and very difficult to change, and secondary beliefs, which
tend to be easier to influence.
✓As a marketer, it is important to know the difference between the two and to focus
your marketing campaign to reflect the values of a target audience.
Moving From the Audit to the SWOT Analysis
• Put forward in 1980s by an American Professor
• Opportunities and Threats (External Environment Analysis)
• Strengths and Weaknesses (Internal Environment Analysis)
• characteristics of the
business that place
the business or
project at a
disadvantage relative
to others
• characteristics of
the business or
project that give
it an advantage
over others
• elements in the
environment that
the business or
project could
exploit to its
advantage

Threat
• elements in the

When to use SWOT analysis?
• Explore new solutions to problems
• Identify barriers that will limit goals/objectives
• Decide on direction that will be most effective
• Reveal possibilities and limitations for change
• To revise plans to best navigate systems, communities, and organizations
• As a brainstorming and recording device as a means of communication

Marketing Research
Marketing Research
• designs the method for collecting information
• manages and implements the data collection process
• analyzes the results
• communicates the findings and their implications
Failure of Coca-cola
• With nearly 1 billion Coca-Cola drinks sold every
single day, it is the world’s most recognized brand
• Yet in 1985 the Coca-Cola Company decided to
terminate its most popular soft drink and replace
it with a formula it would market as New Coke
Competition between Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola
• Compete for more than 100 years
• In the late 1950s, Coke outsold Pepsi by a ratio of
more than five to one.
• In 1960s, Pepsi repositioned itself as a youth
brand. By narrowing its focus, Pepsi was able to
position its brand against the old and classic
image of its competitor
Pepsi Challenge
• 1970s, Pepsi testing consumers blind on the
difference between its own brand and coca-cola
• More than 80% believe Pepsi tastes better
• In 1981, Coke’s number one status was starting to
look vulnerable.
New Coke
• The Atlanta-based company conducted 200,000 taste tests to see how it
fared.
• The results were overwhelming. Not only did it taste better than the original,
but people preferred it to Pepsi-Cola as well
• However, if Coca-Cola was to stay ahead of Pepsi-Cola it couldn’t have two
directly competing products on the shelves at the same time.
• It therefore decided to scrap the original Coca-Cola and introduced New
Coke in its place.
“Angry” Customers
• The trouble was that the Coca-Cola company had severely underestimated
the power of its first brand.
• On 23 April 1985, New Coke was introduced and a few days later the
production of original Coke was stopped.
• A large percentage of the US population immediately decided to boycott
the new product.
Surrender
• ‘We have heard you,’ said Goizueta at a press conference on 11 July 1985.
• He then left it to the company’s chief operating officer to announce the
return of the product.
Why did the New-cola research fail?
• Focus too much on product itself
• did not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to
original Coca-Cola
A wonderful American mystery
• When Coca-Cola was launched in the 1880s it was the only product in the
market.
• As such, it invented a new category and the brand name became the name
of the product itself.
• Throughout most of the last century, Coca-Cola capitalized on its ‘original’
status in various advertising campaigns.
• In 1942, magazine adverts appeared across the United States declaring:
‘The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola itself. It’s the real thing.’
Destined to fail
• If you tell the world you have the ‘real thing’ you cannot then come up with a
‘new real thing’.
• So despite the tremendous amount of hype which surrounded the launch of
New Coke it was destined to fail
• Cost over US $10 million
Lessons from New Coke
• Do the right market research. Despite the thousands of taste tests CocaCola carried out on its new formula, it failed to conduct adequate research
into the public perception of the original brand.

Market Potential and Sales Forecast
Market Potential—what a whole market segment might buy
Sales Forecast—an estimate of how much an industry or
company hopes to sell to a market segment
Approaches to Forecasting
Extending past behaviour
—
—
Factor method
—
—
Trend extension
Assumes future patterns will be like past patterns
based on finding a variable (a factor) that is related to
the variable being forecast
multiple factors may be helpful
Leading series
—
factors that move in advance of what is being forecast
Predicting Future Behaviour Calls for Judgement and
Opinions
• Jury of executive opinion
• forecasting by combining the opinions of experienced executives,
perhaps from marketing, production, finance, purchasing and top
management
• Sales force estimates
• combining the sales estimates from each sales person
• Surveys, panels and test markets
Marketing Research Type
• Marketing research is often partitioned into two sets of categorical pairs,
either by target market:
✓Consumer marketing research, and
✓Business-to-business (B2B) marketing research.
• Or, alternatively, by methodological approach:
✓Qualitative marketing research,
✓Quantitative marketing research.
Characteristics of Marketing Research
• Systematic
➢The procedures followed at each stage are methodologically sound, well
documented, and, as much as possible, planned in advance. Marketing
research uses the scientific method in that data are collected and analyzed
to test prior notions or hypotheses.
• Objective
➢It attempts to provide accurate information that reflects a true state of
affairs.
Methods of Marketing Research
• Based on questioning
✓Qualitative marketing research
✓Quantitative marketing research
• Based on observations
✓Ethnographic studies
✓Experimental techniques
Qualitative marketing research
• generally used for exploratory purposes
• small number of respondents
• not generalizable to the whole population
• statistical significance and confidence not calculated
• examples include focus groups, in-depth interviews, and projective
techniques
Back
Quantitative marketing research
• generally used to draw conclusions
• tests a specific hypothesis
• uses random sampling techniques so as to infer from the sample to the
population
• involves a large number of respondents
• examples include surveys and questionnaires. Techniques include choice
modelling, maximum difference preference scaling, and covariance analysis.
Back
Ethnographic studies
• by nature qualitative
• the researcher observes social phenomena in their natural setting
• observations can occur cross-sectionally (observations made at one time) or
longitudinally (observations occur over several time-periods)
• examples include product-use analysis and computer cookie traces. See
also Ethnography and Observational techniques.
Back
Experimental techniques
• by nature quantitative
• the researcher creates a quasi-artificial environment to try to control
spurious factors, then manipulates at least one of the variables
• examples include purchase laboratories and test markets
Chapter 5

Entrant Strategies
• Pioneers
• Close Followers
• Late Followers
Market Pioneers
• open a new market to consumers based off a major innovation
• Pioneers have the first-mover advantage, and in order to have this advantage,
business’ must ensure they have at least one or more of three primary sources
✓Technological Leadership: gaining an advantage through either Research and
Development or the “learning curve”.
✓Preemption of Assets: allowing the first-mover to be able to have control of
existing assets
✓Buyer Switching Cost: those who enter later would have to invest more
expenditure in order to encourage customers away from early entrants
Back
Close Followers
• Challengers to Market Pioneers
• more than likely to invest a significant amount in Product Research and
Development than later entrants
• allows businesses to find weaknesses in the products produced before
• having a different strategy
Back
1. have the ability to learn
from those who are
already in the market
