Marketing Management as a Business Discipline

Marketing management is a business discipline which is focused on the practical application of marketing techniques and the management of a firm’s marketing resources and activities. Rapidly emerging forces of globalization have led firms to market beyond the borders of their home countries, making international marketing highly significant and an integral part of a firm’s marketing strategy.

[1] Marketing managers are often responsible for influencing the level, timing, and composition of customer demand accepted definition of the term. In part, this is because the role of a marketing manager can vary significantly based on a business’s size, corporate culture, and industry context. For example, in a large consumer products company, the marketing manager may act as the overall general manager of his or her assigned product

[2] to create an effective, cost-efficient Marketing management strategy, firms must possess a detailed, objective understanding of their own business and the market in which they operate.

[3] In analyzing these issues, the discipline of marketing management often overlaps with the related discipline of strategic planning.

They learned early on that by being sticky, by having a web presence that forced users to stay on their site, they could find ways to profit from the page views. This has led Yahoo astray though. Not only has Yahoo given up overall profits in search of ever expanding user acquisition, they have allowed their search product to fall behind. Read More

Case Study for 7-Eleven


In 1998, 7-Eleven Stores selected ERP software from SAP as its core application system and went live with release 4.0 running on an IBM AS/400 in 1999. Over the years since, the SAP footprint has been extended and new functionality introduced. In the early days the stores transmitted their sales data over dial-up connections to the AS/400, which then processed this data overnight. Now the stores are online, providing the stores’ franchisees the opportunity to query or modify stock orders and access financial data. In the past, 7-Eleven has run its store petrol sales separately on another system running OS/400. In 2009, the company plans for the petrol sales to be managed through SAP too…

Cultural diversities can be considered as a treat as well as an opportunity which increasingly has effects on success of those organizations that are working in world scale. Previous studies in this relation have been focused on intercultural or cultural values that do not provide for managers recognition of the needed competencies to success.

The challenge: Lend Lease faces the challenge of delivering Green Star rated buildings within tightly constrained budgets and timeframes. To this end, Fujitsu and Switch Automation collaborated in designing a solution to comply with the energy monitoring aspects of the Green Star rating design criteria. A key project priority was to monitor environmental controls and provide real-time energy usage metrics. Another challenge was to develop a means of utilising single high speed IP fibre cabling network to replace traditional multiple, non-IP copper cabling infrastructures.

Case Study about Björn Borg

Björn Borg AB develops and runs the fashion brand “Björn Borg”. The company has stores in seven European countries. In 2010, the company decided to set up a branch in the UK. Since then, the focus has been more on fashion than sport. Today Björn Borg UK has 10 employees, a showroom in central London, a distribution centre and a retail store.



Case Study about Björn Borg

The Challenge: The competition in the UK is fierce, which is a challenge in itself. It has also been challenging to explain the market conditions in the UK to their Swedish counterparts, where everything works very differently. Björn Borg Sweden is extremely well-known but that is not the case in the UK. Therefore, in the early stages, Björn Borg UK has had to focus most of their energy on marketing and sales.

Case Study for Process Minning in Healthare

In a competitive health-care market, hospitals have to focus on ways to streamline their processes in order to deliver high quality care while at the same time reducing costs (Anyanwu et al., 2003). Furthermore, also on the governmental side and on the side of the health insurance companies, more and more pressure is put on hospitals to work in the most efficient way as possible, whereas in the future, an increase in the demand for care is expected.



Case Study for Process Minning in Healthare

A complicating factor is that healthcare is characterized by highly complex and extremely flexible patient care processes, also referred to as “careflows”. Moreover, many disciplines are involved for whichit is found that they are working in isolation andhardly have any idea about what happens within otherdisciplines. Another issue is that within healthcaremany autonomous, independently developed applications are found (Lenz et al., 2002). A consequenceof this all is that it is not known what happens in ahealthcare process for a group of patients with thesame diagnosis.
