Marketing and innovation produce results: all the rest are costs.” Peter Drucker “While great devices are invented in the laboratory, great products are invented in the Marketing Department.” William H. Davidow "Most innovations fail. And, companies that don't innovate die.“ Henry Chesbrough Most Companies Are Not Organized for Innovation • Innovation is not a natural inclination of companies. • “Executives say innovation is very important, but their companies’ approach to it is often informal, and leaders lack confidence in their innovation decisions.“ McKinsey report. • Most companies expect ideas and initiatives to come either naturally, or through creativity training, or through setting up skunk works.

Introduction to Retailing
Retail Management Module – 1 Introduction to Retailing Meaning of Retailing : Retailing encompasses those business activities involved with the sale of goods and services to the final consumer for personal, family, or household use. Retailing is the final stage in a channel of distribution. Retailing functions are performed by any firm selling merchandise or providing services to the final consumer. According to Philip Kotler : “Retailing includes al the activities involved in selling goods or services to the final customers for personal, non – business use.” Functions of Retailing - : 1. Understanding the Needs of Consumers – Knowing and understanding customer needs is at the centre of every successful business. Therefore, a retailer should clearly understand needs of his target customers. Every retailer should know the reason for their customers to buy from them and not from their competitors. This is called Unique Selling Proposition {USP}. USP can change as the business or market changes. A retailer can have different USPs for different types of customer. 2. Buying and Assembling – A retailer deals in different variety of goods which he purchases from different wholesalers for selling to the consumers. He tries to locate best and economical source of the supply of goods. 3. Breaking the Bulk – Manufacturers normally send their products in bulk (whole cases or cartons) to retailers to minimize transportation cost. As the retailers sell goods in smaller quantities, they should break large quantities into convenient smaller quantities. This process is called breaking the bulk. 4. Warehousing or Storing – After assembly of goods from different suppliers, the retailers preserve them in store and supply these goods to the consumers as and when required by them.

A trained behavioral scientist, he suspected that branding went beyond soap, steel and candy bars. He’d been researching the social aspects of marketing since the 1940s and saw the field’s vast potential. In 1961, he began teaching marketing classes at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Levy’s first year at Kellogg was an exciting time for marketing, with a booming economy, booming consumerism and a baby boom in the years after WWII.

Kotler on Strategic Marketing
URBAN 6.20.10 Draft KOTLER ON STRATEGIC MARKETING BY John Roberts, Alvin Silk, Glen Urban (volume editor), and Jerry Wind 1.0 Introduction: Philip Kotler’s Contributions to the Field of Marketing Philip Kotler’s status as a major thought leader in marketing is widely recognized. By now, so much has been spoken and written about his contributions that it is a daunting task to attempt to add to the stock of insight and respect that has been already expressed for the many ideas that he has given us. Nonetheless, we welcome the opportunity to register our own appreciation for his achievements. Moreover, in order to provide background and establish context for the subset of his papers that address issue of Strategic Management included in this volume, we feel that we have an obligation to first offer our perspective on the nature of Philip Kotler’s overall contributions to marketing thought and practice. To this end, we emphasize his contributions in three broad areas: conceptualizing the role and tasks of marketing management; broadening the concept of marketing, and pioneering quantitative marketing. Clearly, Phil Kotler has been an “early mover” in advancing the frontiers of marketing theory and practice and has repeatedly exhibited a keen sense of how and where the field would develop and flourish. First, Kotler has developed numerous comprehensive frameworks that integrate insights and knowledge from diverse disciplinary sources and knowledge 1 of practice so as to inform and enrich our understanding of marketing management. His contributions are to be found not only in numerous journal articles but also in his widely used text, Marketing Management: Analysis, Planning, Implementation, and Control, first published in 1971 [fact check this with Phil] and now in its 13th edition (2009).

The Nine P’s/9P’s can be used successfully by product and service companies selling directly or indirectly to consumers (B2C), to intermediaries (such as industrial, consumer, retail, wholesale and professional channels of distribution), and to other businesses (B2B). As Management guru Peter F. Drucker once said: “The aim of Marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him (her/it) and sells itself. And this is one of the reason I created the Nine P’s. “People” or Targeting was forgotten in the Marketing Mix, and is major, significant part of the Nine P’s of Marketing.
