,Article 1a – Marketing and consumer behaviour
Marketing
Marketing is concerned with the exchange processes that occur between a firm or organization
that offers products or services to the market, and the target group of potential buyers in its
environment. The basic assumption is that the organization that can do so most effectively and
efficiently (in satisfying the needs and wants of the target groups) will be most successful in
achieving its organizational objectives. Marketing is a social and managerial process by which
individuals and groups obtain what they need and what through creating, offering and
exchanging products of value with others.
The key issues in the marketing discipline were selling, buying, transporting and sorting.
Product policy and promotional activity were not of central concern yet. At first the goal was to
meet the basic needs of the consumers, but when the markets were growing, the goal was to
meet all the needs and preferences of the consumers. The idea of marketing is that any product
could be sold through aggressive and effective selling techniques. Marketing management has
become the dominant stream in marketing theory. Marketing management is the process of
planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods,
and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives. It rests on
four main pillars: market focus, customer orientation, coordinated marketing, and profitability.
Marketing strategies
Market segmentation
Market segmentation builds on the idea that markets consist of customers that may differ in
their specific needs and wants. It aims at the identification of subgroups of customers that are
internally homogenous in some relevant aspects and different from other market segments.
The ultimate type of market segmentation is customized production, which is more common in
industrial markets, such as special machinery.
Product differentiation
In product differentiation, food markets try to create customer loyalty by doing better on one
or more product characteristics and by being distinctive in the market from competitive
suppliers. The ultimate form is a strong international band, such as international food-brands of,
for example, Unilever. Being familiar and recognizable to consumers is a necessary condition
for consumer loyalty.
Product development/innovation
Product development/innovation is important for the company’s long-term profits and
growth. Many factors (like changing customer needs) threaten a product’s long-term success.
Product development and innovation is necessary to replace the products that are in the
decline stage.
The consumer orientation implies that the needs, wants and specific demands of potential
customers should guide the firm’s marketing efforts. There are several developments in
consumer behaviour in Western food markets as well as their implications to food marketing.
To a large extent these developments can be attributed to the fact that most food markets have
2
, developed into true buyer’s markets. They are characterized by an abundant supply of
generally high-quality products. As a result, consumers have become very demanding in an
attempt to satisfy their higher order consumption needs in a very idiosyncratic wat. There is
little reason to believe that this situation will change in the future. It is more likely that product
competition and product assortments will further increase. This situation sets high
requirements on the food marketer to whom it will become even more important to understand
the consumer and his/her behaviour and to satisfy the idiosyncratic product demands.
Article 1b – Consumer research in the early stages of
new product development
Introduction
Incorporating the ‘voice of the consumer’ in early stages of the new product development
process has been identified as a critical success factor for new product development. Yet, this
step is often ignored or poorly executed. This may be due to lack of familiarity on which
methods are available, the use of disciplinary terminology, and difficulty in accessibility of
papers on this subject.
Basic stages of the NPD process
When it comes to successful new products it is the consumer who is the ultimate judge.
Consumer research can be carried out during each of the basic stages of the new product
development (NPD) process: (1) opportunity identification, (2) development, (3) testing, and (4)
launch. Most strategies focus on the development, testing and launch stage instead of the
opportunity identification stage. The goal of the opportunity identification stage is to search for
new areas of opportunities, which typically involve the unmet needs and wants of consumers.
Asking consumers what they want is useless, because they do not know what they want.
Although, it is important to know what consumers want, it helps to avoid working on a new
product that has a low probability of success in the first instance.
Categorisation scheme
In the categorisation scheme methods are grouped according to the most significant
determinants of results. The output of a particular method depends on the considered
information source for need elicitation and the task format.
