  • Measuring the Perceived Quality of Ophthalmology Services in Private Organizations. a Marketing Perspective
    Romanian Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January-March 2018. pp:54-63 GENERAL ARTICLE Measuring the perceived quality of ophthalmology services in private organizations. A marketing perspective Gheorghe Iuliana Raluca, Gheorghe Consuela-Mădălina, Purcărea Victor Lorin “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania Correspondence to: Gheorghe IR, PhD, “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, 8 Eroii Sanitari Bld., District 5, Bucharest, Romania, E-mail: [email protected] Accepted: January 14th, 2018 Abstract Nowadays, the competition registered on the Romanian markets regarding the activity of private ophthalmology organizations has raised their interest in developing consumer- oriented strategies. The key factor that assures a differentiation as well as a competitive advantage is the service quality from a marketing perspective. Objectives: From a marketing perspective, service quality is measured as a perceived discrepancy between the consumers’ expectations and was actually performed in health care services. The most widely and validated measurement is the SERVQUAL scale. However, a variety of SERVQUAL scales have been applied in different health care environments without taking into consideration the specialty of the health care service. Thus, the objective of this paper was to measure the service quality in the Romanian ophthalmology private organizations using the SERVQUAL measurement, by identifying the SERVQUAL dimensions, which register the highest and the lowest gap scores. Materials and methods: The instrument for data collection was the SERVQUAL self- administered questionnaire that consisted of 22 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale. The sample size encompassed 100 participants and the sampling technique was the snowball.

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Allocating Marketing Resources Sunil Gupta Thomas Steenburgh1 January 28, 2008 1 Sunil Gupta ([email protected]) is Edward W. Carter Professor of Business Administration and Thomas Steenburgh ([email protected]) is Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, Soldiers Field, Boston, MA 02163. Allocating Marketing Resources Abstract Marketing is essential for the organic growth of a company. Not surprisingly, firms spend billions of dollars on marketing. Given these large investments, marketing managers have the responsibility to optimally allocate these resources and demonstrate that these investments generate appropriate returns for the firm. In this chapter we highlight a two-stage process for marketing resource allocation. In stage one, a model of demand is estimated. This model empirically assesses the impact of marketing actions on consumer demand of a company‟s product. In stage two, estimates from the demand model are used as input in an optimization model that attempts to maximize profits. This stage takes into account costs as well as firm‟s objectives and constraints (e.g., minimum market share requirement). Over the last several decades, marketing researchers and practitioners have adopted various methods and approaches that explicitly or implicitly follow these two stages. We have categorized these approaches into a 3x3 matrix, which suggests three different approaches for stage-one demand estimation (decision calculus, experiments and econometric methods), and three different methods for stage-two economic impact analysis (descriptive, what-if and formal optimization approach).

Because of the complexity involved in accurately measuring advertising impact, the existence of external impacts, and the difficulty in setting up control groups; many companies are struggling to measure the impact of their advertising spend. Econometric Modeling A successful approach to measuring advertising effectiveness involves econometric analysis of your marketing and promotion activities along with other factors that affect sales performance to determine the impact of each element in your marketing mix, effectiveness, and ROI The strengths and weaknesses of your marketing programs can be determined using advanced data mining techniques and innovative modeling methods.

  • Brands and Branding
    DOUGLAS B. HOLT Brands and Branding Branding has become one of the most important aspects of business strategy. Yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Branding is sometimes considered to be merely an advertising function. And many managers and business writers hold the view that branding is about the management of product image, a supplementary task that can be isolated from the main business of product management. This note provides an alternative perspective, arguing that: • Branding is a strategic point of view, not a select set of activities. • Branding is central to creating customer value, not just images. • Branding is a key tool for creating and maintaining competitive advantage. • Brands are cultures that circulate in society as conventional stories. • Effective brand strategies must address the four distinct components of brand value. • Brand strategies must be “engineered” into the marketing mix. This note develops a set of concepts and frameworks to guide the design of brand strategies. From Value Proposition to the Brand Marketing strategies begin with the value proposition: the various types and amounts of value that the firm wants customers to receive from the market offering. The value proposition is value as perceived by the firm, value that the firm seeks to “build” into the product.1 In marketing, the value proposition is sometimes referred to as the positioning statement.2 Common wisdom in business often assumes that product value as measured by the firm and product value as experienced by the customer are identical. If the firm builds a better product, customers will experience it as such.

  • Assessing the Effectiveness of the Marketing Mix in Social Marketing
    Assessing the effectiveness of the marketing mix in social marketing Ville Veli Lahtinen Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons), Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Vantaa Master of Marketing (Hons), Griffith University Department of Marketing Social Marketing @ Griffith Griffith Business School Griffith University Griffith Business School and Population & Social Health Research Program, Griffith Health Institute Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date and Time: 14th March 2018 1 Abstract This research investigates whether a program utilising a full commercial marketing mix (4P) is more effective than a program using a promotion-only approach in increasing fruit and vegetable (FV) intake of children. Additionally, this research examines the effectiveness of the parental component of the same program examining the attitudes, subjective norms, behavioural control and intentions of parents for serving more fruit and vegetables to their children. Finally, the last study investigates the benefits and barriers of parents for serving fruit and vegetables, as separate groups of food, to their children as a first step to enhance the effectiveness of the parent component of the program. This research program responds to previous criticisms in social marketing about the relevance of the marketing mix. While social marketers such as Gordon (2012), Peattie & Peattie (2003), Wood (2008) and Tapp & Spotswood (2013) have criticised the marketing mix their criticisms are not founded on empirical data examining the effectiveness of the 4Ps. Further, systematic social marketing literature reviews show that most social marketing programs do not use the full marketing mix (4P) and most programs rely on promotion strategies (Carins & Rundle-Thiele, 2014b; Kubacki, Ronto, Lahtinen, Pang, & Rundle-Thiele, 2017; Kubacki, Rundle-Thiele, Lahtinen, & Parkinson, 2015; Kubacki, Rundle-Thiele, Pang, & Buyucek, 2015).
