EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(on-premises) or "cloud-based" (such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, MBaaS, MSaaS, DCaaS etc.). The
industry also includes software services such as training, documentation, consulting, and data
recovery. The software and computer services industry spends more than 11% of its net sales
on research and development, the second highest share of any industry after pharmaceuticals
and biotechnology.
The first company established to provide software products and services was the Computer
Usage Company in 1955. Before that, computers were programmed either by customers or by
the few commercial computer vendors of the time, such as Sperry Rand and IBM.
The software industry expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after computers were
first sold in large numbers. Universities, government, and corporate customers have created a
demand for the software. Many of these programs were written in-house by full-time
programmers. Some were distributed freely among users of a particular machine for free.
Others were made on a commercial basis, and other firms such as Computer Sciences
companies that started in the early 1960s included Advanced Computer Techniques,
brought computing within reach of many more companies and universities around the world
and brought about major innovations in new, powerful programming languages and
methodologies. The new software was created for microcomputers, so other manufacturers
including IBM quickly followed DEC's lead, resulting in the IBM AS/400 among others.
The industry expanded greatly with the rise of personal computers ("PCs") in the mid-1970s,
which first brought desktop computers to office workers. In the following years, it also
created a growing market for games, apps and tools. The dominant operating system at the
In the early years of the 21st century, another successful business model for hosted software
emerged, called software-as-a-service, or SaaS; this was at least the third time [citation
needed] this model was tried. From the perspective of producers of some proprietary
software, SaaS reduces concerns about unauthorized copying because it can only be accessed
through the web and by definition no client software is loaded onto the end user's PC.
The global software products market will reach USD 968.25 billion in 2021 and had a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. Notable companies include Microsoft, HP,
The software industry has undergone a high degree of consolidation over the past few
decades. Between 1995 and 2018, approximately 37,039 mergers and acquisitions were
announced with a total known value of US$1,166 billion. The highest number and value of
deals was set in 2000 during the height of the Internet bubble, with 2,674 transactions worth
$105 billion. In 2017, 2,547 deals worth $111 billion were announced. There are approaches

OBJECTIVES TO STUDY
Marketing objectives are goals set by a business when promoting its products or services to
potential consumers that should be achieved within a given time frame. In other words,
marketing objectives are the marketing strategy set in order to achieve the overall
about product features and reducing consumer resistance to buying the product.
When setting objectives, it is very important to ensure that they are specific, measurable,
achievable, realistic and time-specific - or SMART for short. The SMART approach allows a
supervisor to effectively manage the marketing activities and be able to determine how
The SMART approach can help achieve your marketing objectives by asking the following
questions:
• Specific
Are the objectives stated in a way that is precise about what you are hoping to achieve?
• Measurable
Can you quantify each objective, i.e. can you use a unit of measure, such as a market share in
• Achievable
Are your objectives reasonable in terms of what you can actually achieve, or are you setting
• Realistic
Do you have sufficient employees and resources to achieve the objectives you have set? If
• Time-specific
When are you hoping to achieve these objectives? You need to define a timing plan by using

Marketing is the process of intentionally stimulating the demand for and purchase of goods
and services; potentially including the selection of a target audience; selection of certain
participation in trade fairs and public events; design of products and packaging to make them
more attractive to buyers; selection of conditions of sale, such as price, discounts, warranty
and return policy; product placement in the media or with people suspected of influencing the
purchasing habits of others; agreements with retailers, wholesalers or resellers; and tries to
build brand awareness, loyalty and positive feelings. Marketing is usually done by the seller,

fill market needs and reach marketing objectives. Plans and objectives are generally tested for
measurable results. Commonly, marketing strategies are developed as multi-year plans, with
a tactical plan detailing specific actions to be accomplished in the current year. Time horizons
covered by the marketing plan vary by company, by industry, and by nation, however, time
horizons are becoming shorter as the speed of change in the environment increases.
Marketing strategies are dynamic and interactive. They are partially planned and partially
unplanned.
Marketing strategy involves careful scanning of the internal and external environments.
Internal environmental factors include the marketing mix, plus performance analysis and
analysis, target market analysis, as well as evaluation of any elements of the technological,
mission statement. Besides SWOT analysis, portfolio analyses such as the GE/McKinsey
identify business alternatives, establish challenging goals, determine the optimal marketing
mix to attain these goals, and detail implementation. A final step in developing a marketing
strategy is to create a plan to monitor progress and a set of contingencies if problems arise in
Marketing strategies may differ depending on the unique situation of the individual business.
However there are a number of ways of categorizing some generic strategies. A brief

strength. Strategic scope refers to the market penetration while strategic strength refers to the

There are a number of different ways of answering that question, but the most common gives

Marketing participants often employ strategic models and tools to analyze marketing
decisions. When beginning a strategic analysis, the 3Cs can be employed to get a broad
understanding of the strategic environment. An Ansoff Matrix is also often used to convey an
organization's strategic positioning of their marketing mix. The 4Ps can then be utilized to
There are many companies especially those in the Consumer Package Goods (CPG) market
that adopt the theory of running their business centered on Consumer, Shopper & Retailer
needs. Their Marketing departments spend quality time looking for "Growth Opportunities"
in their categories by identifying relevant insights (both mindsets and behaviors) on their
target Consumers, Shoppers and retail partners. These Growth Opportunities emerge from
changes in market trends, segment dynamics changing and also internal brand or operational
business challenges. The Marketing team can then prioritize these Growth Opportunities and
begin to develop strategies to exploit the opportunities that could include new or adapted
information and limited resources complicated by uncertainty and tight timescales. Use of
Thus, for example, many new products will emerge from irrational processes and the rational
development process may be used (if at all) to screen out the worst non-runners. The design
of the advertising, and the packaging, will be the output of the creative minds employed,
which management will then screen, often by 'gut-reaction', to ensure that it is reasonable.
For most of their time, marketing managers use intuition and experience to analyze and
handle the complex, and unique, situations being faced, without easy reference to theory.
This will often be 'flying by the seat of the pants', or 'gut-reaction'; where the overall strategy,
coupled with the knowledge of the customer which has been absorbed almost by a process of
osmosis, will determine the quality of the marketing employed. This, almost instinctive

LITERATURE REVIEW
The marketers are finding very difficult to differentiate their products from the competitors.
The tastes of the consumers are changing frequently. Therefore, the companies must always
take this into consideration about brands the products in order to create image in the customer
mind. So, the company has to fulfill the needs and wants of the customers. Brand is the
personalities of the product and brand positioning is a key to the success of marketing in any
company. Branding not only gives separate identity and easy recognition to the product but also
creates special brand preference. Branding is an instrument of demand creation and demand
retention.

been an excellent and rewarding experience. there has been a lot I’ve learnt from my work,
the technical aspects of the work I’ve done are not flawless and could be improved
provided enough time. As someone with no prior experience with Node.js whatsoever my
time spent in research and discovering it was well worth however, I do think that there are
some aspects of the job that I could have done better and that I need to work on. I need to
build more confidence in applying accounting principles. I realized that I could have
completed the work earlier than I did. Also, the technical parts of the job were a bit flawed,
and I was asked multiple times to correct it. The two main things that I learned after my
experience in this firm are the importance of time management and being self-motivated.
