Download or read book Building Models for Marketing Decisions written by Peter S.H. Leeflang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about marketing models and the process of model building. Our primary focus is on models that can be used by managers to support marketing decisions. It has long been known that simple models usually outperform judgments in predicting outcomes in a wide variety of contexts. For example, models of judgments tend to provide better forecasts of the outcomes than the judgments themselves (because the model eliminates the noise in judgments). And since judgments never fully reflect the complexities of the many forces that influence outcomes, it is easy to see why models of actual outcomes should be very attractive to (marketing) decision makers. Thus, appropriately constructed models can provide insights about structural relations between marketing variables. Since models explicate the relations, both the process of model building and the model that ultimately results can improve the quality of marketing decisions. Managers often use rules of thumb for decisions. For example, a brand manager will have defined a specific set of alternative brands as the competitive set within a product category. Usually this set is based on perceived similarities in brand characteristics, advertising messages, etc. If a new marketing initiative occurs for one of the other brands, the brand manager will have a strong inclination to react. The reaction is partly based on the manager's desire to maintain some competitive parity in the mar keting variables.

You'll learn to use knowledge management to avoid the duplication of research, reducing the cost of product research and development and increasing the effectiveness of your overall operation. Helpful charts and figures make the information easy to access and understand. From the editors: “Although tourism and hospitality, with their geographically dispersed units, can profit from enhanced knowledge management, only a small number of firms have implemented knowledge management techniques. A recent study shows that although managers in many hotels consider knowledge management and information transfer to be 'relevant concepts,' they report being confronted with too many—and unclear—knowledge management strategies, activities, and implementation techniques. As a result, they are not sufficiently familiar with knowledge management and reject implementing it. This book will increase understanding of these concepts and help to speed the implementation of knowledge management in the hospitality and tourism industries.” This book will show you how to make any hospitality or tourism related business more competitive by using knowledge management concepts and techniques.

Book excerpt: `This book, written by a group of outstanding UK researchers, pinpoints the essence and scope of relationship marketing and vividly demonstrates its applicability in different industries. Relationship marketing is the marketing of the next millennium. Dont argue. Just read the book!' - Evert Gummesson, Stockholm University By examining the relationship between theory and practice, Relationship Marketing appears at an important stage in the development of relationship marketing. The opening chapter examines relationship marketing (RM) theory, reviews a number of RM definitions and reports on the economic arguments in favour of RM. It describes the nature and scope of marketing relationships, picking out characteristics such as concern for the welfare of customers, trust and commitment between partners, and the importance of customer service. Finally, it identifies a number of requirements for successful RM. The next 12 chapters describe, analyze and critique RM practice in a number of organizational settings (supply-chain relationships, principal-agent relationships, business-to-business relationships, intra-organizational relationships) and industries (hospitality, air travel, retail banking, corporate banking, credit cards, financial advisory services, advertising agencies, not-for-profit organizations). The final chapter reflects on the relationships between theory and practice.
