UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION
PROJECT
0. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS
-INTERNATIONALISATION: It allows companies to increase the amount that they produce so that they
can reach the minimum level of average cost
-CUSTOMER FOCUS:
● MUST BE: Characteristics that do not lead to satisfaction but if they are not present they will
lead to dissatisfaction. Example: Having chairs in a classroom.
● SATISFIERS: It is not enough to have “MUST BEs” to satisfy customers. The more you invest
on SATISFIERS the more satisfied the customers are going to be. Example: Having
comfortable chairs in a classroom (the more comfortable the chairs are the more satisfaction
you get from customers).
● DELIGHTERS: Sometimes, it is not enough to satisfy the customers, so we have to delight
them. It consists of overachieving expectations and surprising the customers positively. We
have to attend or offer the best service, offer or good experience.
-INNOVATION: It is not only about products, but also about processes (making them smarter and
more efficient).
-CONTROL
-MISSION: Present, what is our business today, what do we do, who are our customers
-VALUES: What we believe in and how it is implemented (for example, teamwork, customer service…)
-EXTERNAL CONTEXT:
-OBJECTIVES: They have to be determined taking into account the MISSION, VISION, VALUES,
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CONTEXT. They have to be determined in the following order so that they
are all aligned and compatible:
● STRATEGIC: Defined by top management, long-term and have
● TACTICAL: Defined by middle managers and include marketing objectives, HR objectives…
● OPERATIONAL: Defined for the daily lives.
-INDICATORS: Each objective should have one or more indicators to measure them.
-GOAL: We have to define a goal for each indicator (for example, the complaint rate being lower than
3).
-CONTROLLING: It comes after all the planning and it is one of the most important phases. Most of
the businesses only control financial aspects

1. WHAT IS MARKETING?
2. MARKETING EVOLUTION
You shouldn’t hire someone from outside of the company to perform the strategic marketing, but you
can hire someone for the operational part

UNIT 2:
MARKETING MIX
PEOPLE: It is very important to hire the best people possible and to keep them happy and motivated
so that they can deliver the best service possible. This benefits the customers, organisation and the
employees.
PROCESSES: We have to design processes properly to deliver good quality products to customers.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: The first experience or impact individuals have with a product. Example ->
Theatre: The path of going into the auditorium and finding the seat. It is especially important for
services.
