Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing is civilized warfare. And as high-tech products become increasingly standardized—practically identical, from the customer's point of view—it is marketing that spells life or death for new devices or entire firms. In a book that is as fascinating as it is pragmatic, William H. Davidow, a legend in Silicon Valley, where he was described as "the driving force behind the micro processor explosion," tells how to fight the marketing battle in the intensely competitive world of high-tech companies—and win. Blunt, pithy, and knowledgeable, Davidow draws on his successful marketing experience at Intel Corporation to create a complete program for marketing victory. He drives home the basics, such as how to go head-on against the competition; how to "plan products, not devices"; how to give products a "soul"; and how to engineer promotions, market internationally, motivate salespeople, and rally distributors. Above all, he demonstrates the critical importance of servicing and supporting customers. Total customer satisfaction, Davidow makes clear, must be every high-tech marketer's ultimate goal. The only comprehensive marketing strategy book by an insider, Marketing High Technology looks behind the scenes at industry-shaking clashes involving Apple and IBM, Visicorp and Lotus, Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor. He recounts his own involvement in Crush, Intel's innovative marketing offensive against Motorola, to demonstrate, step-by-step, how it became an industry prototype for a winning high-tech campaign. Davidow clearly spells out sixteen principles which increase the effectiveness of marketing programs. From examples as diverse as a Rolling Stones concert and a microprocessor chip, he defines a true "product." He analyzes and explains in new ways the strategic importance of distribution as it relates to market sector, pricing, and the pitfalls it entails. He challenges some traditional marketing theory and provides unique and important insights developed from over twenty years in the high-tech field. From an all-encompassing philosophy that great marketing is a crusade requiring total commitment, to a careful study of the cost of attacking a competitor, this book is an essential tool for survival in today's high-risk, fast- changing, and very lucrative high-tech arena.

Download or read book Strategic Marketing for High Technology Products written by Thomas Fotiadis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for High Technology (HT) companies to tackle contemporary demanding market challenges, they frequently deploy time-reduction strategies with respect to product launch. Marketing of technology related products – and especially cutting edge ones – involves a complex and multidimensional bundle of specific and unique characteristics, such as the complexity of products, the intensity of the competition, confusion and/ or fear of adoption among consumers, fast pacing changes in the external environment. The very nature of the interrelations that evolve as part of the dynamic process of strategy formulation contributes further to the formulation of a very challenging environment which is described as tumultuous, volatile and turbulent. These specific features, qualities and characteristics constitute the core of the innate need for an integrated approach that requires and depends on the cooperation and coordination of specific functional competencies. This book employs a systemic approach that accommodates the integration of specialized departmental capabilities as a fundamental prerequisite and a cornerstone for the successful navigation of high-tech organizations in their extremely competitive environments. It provides a solid and extant context of compact and consistent cognitive background that is specific to the HT strategic marketing field, and a strategic tool that utilizes, relies and is built on the turbulent environment of HT rather than just overlooking, avoiding or ignoring it, and that assumes a proactive point of view, capitalizing on characteristics specific to this field, through the provision of a strategic managerial and marketing model that is overlaid onto a reliably assessed foundation of dynamic qualities, with a long-term orientation and scope, albeit one that would be easy to apply and which will generate immediate results.

Download or read book Marketing and Management in the High Technology Sector written by Domenico Ferreri and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aerospace industry has undergone tremendous change in recent years. Always something of an anomaly, due to its critical role in national economies and in national security, the sector has always been distinct from other manufacturing industries in its reliance on high-technology innovation and the shifting sands of private and public investment. Since the end of the Cold War, financial and other crises have led to a spate of mergers and acquisitions, leaving fewer and fewer players in the commercial airplane industry. Meanwhile, some firms exited the business altogether. State-owned companies have been privatized, national firms have been consolidated in some countries, and the first transnational aeronautics conglomerate in Europe, EADS, was founded in 1999. Those left standing must strive to exploit international alliances and their network of horizontal and vertical collaborations in order to gain long-term competitive advantage. How to harness both management strategies and marketing tactics to the cause in the commercial airplane industry is the subject of this book. Primary among the challenges faced by firms is industrial rationalization. How do corporate leaders who are charged with managing newly merged companies integrate distinct corporate cultures, rationalize operations and activities, and eliminate duplication of product and function, while maintaining their focus on gaining competitive advantage in the marketplace? The answer depends on the nature of the firm. Single-sector companies have the advantage of being lean, agile, and quick to react to market forces, while multisector companies have the potential to exploit synergistic relationships among divisions, economies of scale, financial strength, and the balancing of risk. These factors affect companies' behavior not only at the strategic level, but also at the tactical level. This book provides scholars of strategic marketing and management, as well as executives and decision makers in commercial aviation, with the industry background necessary to understand the aeropsace companies' struggle for survival in the newly restructured market.

Download or read book Marketing Technology as a Service written by Laurie Young and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-05-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that vast engineering networks are the foundations of modern society, the services that technology companies provide over them have been a relatively neglected area of study. As a result, marketing in some technology businesses has been depressingly tactical and inconsistent. Marketers with little experience, and even less professional training, run around presenting PowerPoint decks to each other, chasing after the latest fad and throwing erratic, changing activities at the market each quarter. Many work on the unchallenged assumption that markets are fast changing and that customers only want the lowest prices. Yet this industry has liberated human imagination in the internet and convinced the world that they must have a PC and a mobile phone. Now, as a result of profound, relentless, global forces, some of the leading firms and greatest minds in it are at last turning their attention to service. With the advent of ‘cloud computing’ and radical changes in the engineering of some utilities, the marketing of services that are based on a technical infrastructure is about to become as important and sophisticated as in, say, consumer products. This book explores their story and experience. “I really enjoyed the book From Products to Services by Mr Laurie Young. Encouraged by it, Haier accelerated its changeover from a traditional product-driven to a more customer-centric company. This new book Marketing Technology as a Service is another major contribution to technology companies for the cultivation of service needs worldwide.” – Mr Zhang Ruimin, CEO and Chairman, Haier Group, Beijing “Young and Burgess describe a shift in mindset and pragmatic techniques that are quite doable – Rae Sedel, MD, Global Technology Practice, Russell Reynolds Associates. “This book provides practical and insightful advice on how to use services to turn technology into value add solutions for real people – Rudy Provoost, CEO, Philips Lighting “Business leaders in India have been remarkably successful at offering technology based services like outsourcing across the world. Currently worth $60 billion, they intend to reach $300 billion by 2020. To succeed, the Indian business community must offer new value propositions and adapt to emerging trends, like cloud computing. Burgess and Young have put together the first comprehensive and practical guide for business leaders to meet their challenges of exponential growth.” – Dr Mukesh Aghi, Chairman and CEO, Steria (India)
