Mälardalen University EFO703 Bachelor Thesis in School of Sustainable Development Business Administration of Society and Technology Examiner: Ole Liljefors Tutor: Per Nordqvist INDUSTRIAL MARKETING in a NETWORK PERSPECTIVE A Qualitative study of ABB Crane Systems and its Sales Network Spring Semester 2011 Peter Strömberg & Sandeep Jain Abstract Course: EFO703 Bachelor Thesis in Business administration 15 ECTS University: Mälardalen University School of Sustainable Development of Society and Technology, Västerås Authors: Peter Strömberg & Sandeep Jain Examiner: Ole Liljefors Tutor: Per Nordqvist Research question: How is the sales network of ABB Crane system related to industrial marketing in a network perspective? Purpose of the research: The main task is to investigate if the sales network of ABB Crane Systems is related to established theory of industrial marketing in a network perspective. Method: The research strategy has been formed from a deductive approach and the empirical data has been gathered with a qualitative approach. Both primary and secondary data has been used in order to fulfill the purpose of our paper. The empirical findings represent the primary data which was gathered through interviews with the management of ABB Crane Systems. The secondary data was gathered from journal articles, literature, ABB’s website and Mälardalen University’s databases. Conclusion: With the help of three different theories, it has been concluded that the sales network of ABB Crane Systems has a rather close relationship with Industrial Marketing in a network perspective. However, it has also been found that the company is not entirely related to the important aspect of embeddedness in its sales network, which is a deliberate strategy in order to minimize the risks of miscommunication, maintain control over the sales process, remain flexible, as well as not waste scarce resources.

This article will analyse the main methods used to promote the industrial brands and products on the market. Key-words: industrial goods, advertising, business to business market. 1.

Abstract One of the most basic concepts in any field of business management is undoubtedly the concept of market, especially within the field of industrial marketing and purchasing. However, the content and definition of market as a concept has received only scant attention in the research within marketing discipline. The purpose of this paper is to take one step towards a more specified conceptualisation of the market especially in the industrial marketing and purchasing context. Moreover, the aim is to give some preliminary views on what kind of conceptualisation would enable the industrial marketing and purchasing research to understand the phenomenon in a most fruitful way. The paper identifies the conceptualisations of market existing in the marketing literature. In addition to this, as a conclusion, the paper puts forward a suggestion that the conceptualisation of the market as a process would provide the most fruitful way of defining the concept for the specific context of industrial marketing and purchasing.

In the industrial marketing area there has only been limited attention to this phenomenon. In this paper we focus on how co-branding can be used on industrial markets to increase value.

New product pricing The Right Price • Uniqueness of price in the marketing mix is that it is the only element that generates revenue, all other elements incur costs. • Right price is one of the important determinants of business success. • Price has to be consistent with other marketing mix elements and also has to be responsive to the demand. • Demand or competitive conditions sometimes make the absorption of full cost into price impossible. • Companies with specific objectives sometimes use price as a strategic variable to achieve the firm’s objective.

True price an industrial customer pays is different from the list price because of delivery & installation costs, discounts, training costs, trade- in-allowances, financing costs etc. 2. Price is not an independent variable. It is intertwined with product, promotion and distribution strategies. 3. Price of industrial goods cannot be set out without considering other products that are complements or substitutes sold by the company. 4.
