Global marketing Myopia

The objective of this paper is to expand the concept of global marketing strategy beyond its current myopic focus on product positioning and branding. Emphasis on these issues lends to lead to the conclusion that standardisation is the most desirable global strategy. However a successful global marketing strategy needs to be developed and evaluated within the broader context of the overall strategy of the firm, rather than being based purely on customer‐market considerations. This calls for examination of resource allocation across countries, market segments and products, the integration of sourcing activities and production, management and logistical systems into global marketing strategy.     

Global marketing strategy modeling of high tech products

This study considers the role of global marketing strategy and its relation to market orientation, international experience, and performance in the high tech products context. Knowledge of this important domain of global marketing strategy and performance remains limited. In this respect, the study raises a number of important questions concerning how market orientation, international experience and global marketing strategy impact performance. The study empirically tests predictions of relationships by using mail survey data from 172 business units of high tech firms. Findings from the research sample support the argument that market orientation, international experience, and global marketing strategy are the key antecedents of organizational performance. Market orientation and international experience influence global marketing. The article concludes with theoretical and managerial implications of the research findings.

专业市场本地网络效应、全球网络效应与中小企业国际营销能力——基于浙江义乌和绍兴的实证研究

本文基于专业市场网络与中小企业国际化存在紧密联系这一经济现实,试图研究专业市场网络对中小企业国际营销能力的影响。本文在对企业营销能力及其构成维度,专业市场网络等相关概念进行界定的基础上,对专业市场本地网络和全球网络中存在的各种效应对中小企业国际营销能力的影响进行了理论分析。在此基础上,运用浙江省义乌市和绍兴市实地调查所获得的数据对专业市场网络与中小企业国际营销能力之间的关系进行了实证检验。我们发现：（1）相比于专业市场本地网络,全球网络效应对中小企业国际营销能力有更显著的影响。（2）专业市场本地网络在提升中小企业的信息利用能力方面有着突出的表现,但对中小企业的产品开发能力和快速反应能力的影响并不十分显著。

Change in international market strategy as a reaction to performance decline

While a great deal of research has explored how international marketing strategy influences performance, researchers have paid scant attention to understanding changes to international marketing strategy resulting from firm reaction to past performance. In this study, organizational learning theory addresses when and how international marketing strategy will change. Employing data from over 500 exporters, the results, which are consistent with theoretical predictions, indicate that (1) firms are generally not prone to inertia and do, in fact, change their international marketing strategy when facing declines in performance, and (2) that the direction of change depends on the level of competition in the specific foreign market, with firms adapting their international marketing strategy in low competitive markets and standardizing their international marketing strategy in highly competitive markets. The paper includes implications for academics and practitioners.     

Market Shares of Stores:

The effect of marketing strategy variables on the market shares of shore is examined. Both manufacturers and retailers play equally important roles in the functioning of marketing channels. In spite of this, the impact of marketing strategy variables on the competitive performance of stores, rather than that of brands, has been far less commonly examined in the literature. A market share model is developed and then tested using state-of-the-art scanner data. The results show statistically significant differences in the effects, on store share, of price and promotional variables between leader and follower brands. In addition, the market share models are able to predict store market shares with a high degree of accuracy in a hold-out sample. The model is then expanded to include variables with respect to competitor brands and competitor stores and then tested. Various managerial implications of the differential effects of brand strategy are discussed.

整合数字营销策略研究

全球技术的变化导致媒体内容与传播方式的变化,传播链中的人、媒体、信息三要素中媒体要素发生了巨变,势必要引起另外两个要素的变化。整合数字营销不再是简单地将广告工具和营销工具跨界搭配,其作用于在利用大数据的精确定位,通过移动智能终端和移动互联网打通线上和线下渠道,并以跨屏互动和多屏融合的传播手段,构造一个立体、有效传播的仪式环境和信息空间。本文提出整合数字营销的大数据策略、移动化策略和仪式感策略,为数字营销的进一步发展提供借鉴。     

Testing interaction effects of the dimensions of market orientation on marketing program creativity

Despite the plethora of research on market orientation, our understanding of how different dimensions of market orientation interact with each other in generating new intelligence for marketing programs is limited. In this paper, we develop and test a model that examines the interaction effects of the three dimensions of market orientation—customer orientation, competitor orientation, and cross-functional integration—on generation of marketing program creativity, composed of novelty and meaningfulness dimensions. In empirically testing such effects, we illustrate how to use two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation. We find significant positive interaction effects between customer orientation and competitor orientation and between competitor orientation and cross-functional integration in predicting marketing program novelty. We also find that competitor orientation and cross-functional integration significantly and positively interact with each other in improving marketing program meaningfulness. Our empirical results provide implications and directions for market orientation research.     

全球化营销的风险与防范

全球化营销是将全球看成一个统一的大市场,在对其进行市场调研的基础上,进行市场细分并选择自己的目标市场,实施营销策略组合。它强调企业应在全球范围内寻求竞争优势和最佳市场。全球化的趋势得益于正在降低的各国贸易壁垒和交通、信息技术的迅猛发展。全球化营销的巨大经济效益和市场前景对企业有很强的吸引力,但也不可避免地存在风险,因此,如何防范这些风险则是全球化营销要着重解决的课题。     

Market similarity and market selection: Implications for international marketing strategy

International market selection patterns for a sample of 954 new products suggest that firms exhibit a significant preference for markets similar to the home market. Preferences for similar markets decline as firms gain experience in a variety of markets, however. This pattern suggests the importance of uncertainty and information in global market selection and marketing mix management. Alternative means of gathering information about foreign markets permit and support very different approaches to global marketing activity. More fundamentally, a global perspective on the relationship between market conditions, marketing policies and programs, and consumer response can be developed systematically to improve global marketing performance.     

Market entry barriers in China

Although industrial economists and strategy theorists provide a considerable amount of research regarding market entry barriers in the context of industrialized countries such as those in North America and Western Europe, few studies focus on entry barriers in the business context of China. Consequently, an understanding of the barriers to entry to Chinese markets as perceived by Chinese business executives is limited in the marketing literature. This research, based on the development and administration of a self-completed survey of one hundred and ninety three Chinese executives, attempts to ascertain the dimensions and order of importance of market entry barriers in this context. The findings of the research indicate seven dimensions of marketing entry barriers and show that business executives in China perceive advertising effects as the most important entry barrier and capital requirements as the least important.     

多重阻击下的企业营销战略分析

从WTO宗旨到反倾销、反补贴和保障措施等规则,基本的营销战略思想就是主张有条件地限制标准化营销战略,并力图引导实施以国际市场细分为基础的差异化营销战略.从这个角度来考察我国企业在国内外市场上的营销行为,不论是国内市场导向型、还是产能过剩型或进口国市场导向型产品,都不存在严格意义上的市场细分要素,标准化营销战略与成本领先竞争战略始终居于主导地位.加强全球营销管理,改变千篇一律或一层不变的标准化营销战略代之以差异化营销战略,顺应企业成长从低价竞争到非价格竞争演变的客观规律,可以成为在互利共赢条件下应对多重阻击与贸易摩擦一个选择.     

To globalise or not—a managerial decision framework

Globalisation of marketing strategy is attractive to international marketers because it offers the opportunity for large scale economies in marketing and production. Yet, experts disagree markedly as to the extent to which a global strategy can be implemented in specific situations. This paper introduces some elements of objectivity into the choice between globalisation and individualisalion by evaluating five elements; the environment, market characteristics, the product, cost and financial factors, and the internal corporate environment. Although the decision on globalisation will always be fairly subjective, a careful attempt to weigh various factors will add elements of reason to the decision.     

Country Effects on CRM Success

Abstract

Customer relationship management (CRM) adoption is growing at a dramatic pace in firms and is significantly impacting customer and business market behaviors. As a result, most firms have started developing and implementing CRM strategies. However, country effects on CRM strategy outcomes in international environments have not been discussed and are the focus of this paper. In this paper, we examine the impacts of marketing infrastructure and marketing institutions on the development of CRM strategies and success in the implementation of such strategies. Our framework has utility in understanding the impacts of country-specific factors in the outcomes of CRM Strategy.     

Marketing globalization: A didactic examination for corporate strategy

Recent empirical research suggests an appended explanation of globalization is necessary. Significant global studies have indicated that converging global homogeneous markets have not arrived, thereby concluding globalization of markets should be reexamined. A didactic examination posits globalization as marketing globalization. Two areas of opportunity for marketing globalization strategy are a modified marketing strategy in diverse global markets and a standardized marketing strategy in homogeneous global markets. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A Korean,a Chinese,and an Indian walk into an American bar: Tapping the Asian-American goldmine

Historically, globalization has been synonymous with mega brands’ expansion into international markets. However, changes in the marketing landscape—namely, growth of immigrant consumers, new and emerging branding strategies, and advancements in technology—have created a shift in the globalization paradigm, opening opportunities for small brands. Focusing on the growing number of Asian-American consumers, the authors develop a two-stage global market entry strategy for small brands entering the U.S. market. Specifically, the authors show how Asian brands can penetrate the U.S. market by serving Asian-American consumers or using them as a launchpad to reach mainstream American consumers. The growth of small global brands signifies an important and exciting change in the branded marketplace currently dominated by Western brands.
