Download or read book Marketing High Technology written by William H. Davidow and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1986-06-02 with total page 235 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: With the cost of introducing new technology products growing higher and higher, and the risks of failure becoming more severe, vendors, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are realizing the need for creative and highly effective marketing more and more. Yet, they are often not prepared or equipped to efficiently conceive and deliver products that people are willing to pay for. Moreover, companies are often unable or unwilling to pay for outside help. Industry players often engage without a comprehensive and viable marketing and sales plan. They rely upon conferences, trade shows, advertising agencies, books, the Internet and even analysts to help them sell their products. As technology marketing continues to mature, industry players need more than an analysis of the chasm between capabilities and customers and other idiosyncrasies of the market. Marketers need a blueprint on how to proceed. High Tech Marketing: Turning Technology into Value is intended to provide it. The author presents complex and creative strategies as well as effective, proven methods and techniques to show how technology can help identify products with potential to deliver life-cycle profits as well facilitate the realization of that potential. The book will present both the techniques needed and the end-to-end process that should be followed for businesses to achieve success through high tech marketing. This book explains how a combination of traditional and high tech marketing techniques can be applied to build a customer base and deliver profits. It explains how to define, produce and deliver products and services. This includes understanding and implementing pricing and distribution strategies, the product life cycle and more. After reading this book the marketer should be equipped to develop and engage in a comprehensive marketing effort.
