Unifying Services Marketing and Operations with Service Experience Management

One of the pioneer firms in the leisure cruise industry embarked on a bold idea in 2000 to offer an unregimented experience unlike most cruises. Despite the appeal of the concept from a marketing perspective, the service innovation posed operational challenges, many of which continue to undermine the firm’s competitive position. Using a multi-method empirical approach and interdisciplinary views that draw on research from marketing and operations management, the authors analyze this business case to identify challenges that service firms face when services are developed and managed from siloed functional perspectives. Based on their research findings and guided by the literature, the authors derive a service-systems model to aid service planning and management. The authors further highlight a new organizational form and function for services under the domain of service experience management that is positioned as a means to unify service operations and marketing for delivering on service promises. The authors offer direction for further research on service operations systems and service experience management.

A influência do departamento de marketing: o caso OLI

Tem-se verificado alguma discussão na literatura sobre o decréscimo da importância do Marketing nas empresas. De acordo com alguns estudos, apenas 10% do tempo é dedicado ao departamento de Marketing nas suas reuniões gerais. O estudo de caso é dedicado a uma empresa portuguesa, Oliveira & Irmão, líder ibérica de produtos de instalação sanitária que atua no mercado há 60 anos. Esta empresa exporta 80% da sua produção e tornou-se reconhecida por ser uma das empresas mais inovadoras da sua àrea, contando atualmente com 40 patentes ativas. Neste estudo será analisada a influência do departamento de Marketing numa empresa com gestão familiar e onde a satisfação do cliente é o seu objetivo primário. Para compreender as alterações que se verificaram desde a implementação do Departamento de Marketing, foram realizadas quatro entrevistas aos diretores da empresa (Departamento Financeiro, Inovação, Comercial e Marketing) para compreender, através do seu ponto de vista, quais as implicações e modificações principais que sentiram. Verificou-se que apesar do departamento de Marketing ser recente na empresa este já realizou algumas alterações notórias a nível interno (comunicação interna) e a nível externo (posicionamento da marca no mercado). Contudo, um dos grandes entraves tem sido a dificuldade em participar no processo desenvolvimento de novos produtos, que até então é coordenado pelo departamento de Inovação e departamento Comercial. A autora do estudo propõe um processo em que o departamento de Marketing fornece os inputs para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos, de modo a satisfazer as necessidades dos clientes.

Marketing interno e a sua influência na motivação dos colaboradores

O marketing interno (MI) surge como uma ferramenta de gestão que tem como objetivo principal o desenvolvimento de uma organização focada no cliente, motivando e capacitando os seus colaboradores a alcançarem os objetivos organizacionais. Esta ferramenta pode contribuir para um maior e melhor desempenho e comprometimento organizacional, desde que usada de forma estratégica e adequada. Esta dissertação procura verificar se a existência de práticas de MI podem influenciar, de alguma forma, a motivação dos colaboradores contribuindo, igualmente, na retenção e fidelização dos mesmos, num contexto industrial, ao contrário do que é habitual nos estudos feitos até então, focados mais nos serviços pelas suas caraterísticas de maior contacto entre clientes e colaboradores. Aplicando a metodologia de estudo de caso na empresa Oliveira & Irmão, S.A., analisou-se um programa de marketing interno iniciado e desenvolvido durante o ano 2014 e que a empresa pretende manter, não esquecendo de uma forma geral de outras práticas de MI que a empresa faz questão de continuar a assinalar. Em termos globais, os resultados deste estudo mostram que a existência de práticas de marketing, aplicadas internamente, têm efeito no desenvolvimento de comportamentos e atitudes relacionadas com o trabalho por parte dos colaboradores e, que mesmo não sendo os principais fatores motivacionais, são complementares.

Management of Customer Co-development in Business-to-Business Markets

Management of customer co-development means involving customers in the development of new products and services, and coordinating the process. In business-tobusiness markets, customer co-development enables the development of innovations that better match customer needs and strengthens customer relationships. However, close collaboration with customers can hamper the innovativeness of new products and lead to overly customized solutions. Therefore, the management of co-development is crucial to its success. Yet the existing research on management of co-development has mainly focused on selecting the right collaboration partners, and the field lacks understanding on how to manage the tensions inherent in customer co-development. The purpose of this thesis is to increase understanding on the management of the codevelopment. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first comprises the literature review and conclusions for the whole study, and the second presents four publications. From the methodological perspective, the research papers follow exploratory qualitative research design. The empirical data comprise interviews with 60 persons, representing 25 different organizations, and a group of 11 end users. The study conceptualizes management of customer co-development in three dimensions 1) relational co-development processes, 2) co-development challenges and paradoxes, and 3) internal customer involvement processes. The findings contribute to the customersupplier relationship, innovation, and marketing management literatures by providing a framework on supplier-customer co-development, addressing co-development paradoxes and their management processes, and suggesting practices for customer involvement. For practitioners, the findings provide tools to manage the challenges related to codevelopment with customers.

Opportunities and challenges of content marketing as a way of digital marketing communications

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tunnistaa sisältömarkkinoinnin mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita digitaalisessa markkinointiviestinnässä. Lisäksi tavoitteena on antaa yksiselitteinen määritelmä sisältömarkkinoinnille sekä selvittää, miten se eroaa muista markkinointiviestinnän keinoista. Sisältömarkkinointi on strateginen markkinointiviestinnän keino, johon kuuluu asiakkaan kannalta mielenkiintoisen ja hyödyllisen sisällön tuottaminen ja jakaminen. Sisältömarkkinointi tarjoaa keinon muodostaa brändimielikuvia luonnollisin keinoin ilman mainoksen leimaa, jota osa kuluttajista välttelee tietoisesti jopa mainosten esto-ohjelmien avulla. Perinteiset markkinointiviestinnän keinot pyrkivät usein lyhyen aikavälin myyntituloksiin, kun taas sisältömarkkinointi pyrkii maksimoimaan asiakkaan koko elinkaaren arvon. Onnistunut sisältömarkkinointi vaatii yrityksiltä kärsivällisyyttä sekä asiakkaiden kokonaisvaltaista tuntemista.

Marketing desportivo, envolvimento, lealdade e compromisso psicológico

O estudo procura apresentar as ações de marketing desportivo que influenciam a criação e fortalecimento das ligações psicológicas entre os fãs desportivos e os seus clubes favoritos com o objetivo de atingir uma fidelização.

Os resultados postulam ainda que os estudos realizados nesta área são limitados, de modo que o aprofundamento no assunto aguarda por investigações futuras.

Proactive Marketing – Concept Development and Empirical Analysis

In this thesis, proactive marketing is suggested to be a broader concept than existing research assumes. Although the concept has been mentioned in the context of competitive advantage in previous research, it has not been comprehensively described. This thesis shows that proactive marketing is more than investing in marketing communications of a company. Proactive marketing is described as a three-phased process that contains different customer value identification, creation, and delivery activities. The purpose of proactive marketing is essentially to anticipate and pursue market opportunities that bring value to the company’s stakeholders. Ultimately, proactive marketing aims at acting first on the market, shaping the markets, and thus reaching competitive advantage. The proactive marketing process is supported by the structures of an organization. Suitable structures for proactive marketing are identified in the thesis based on existing research and through an empirical analysis. Moreover, proactive marketing is related to two management theories: the dynamic capabilities framework and the empowerment of employees. A dynamic environment requires companies that pursue proactive marketing to change continuously. Dynamic capabilities are considered as tools of the management, which enable companies to create suitable conditions for the constant change. Empowerment of employees is a management practice that creates proactive behaviors in individuals. The empirical analysis is conducted in an online company operating in the rapidly changing marketplace of the Internet. Through the empirical analysis, the thesis identifies in practice how proactiveness manifests in the marketing process of a company, how organizational structures facilitate proactive marketing, and how proactive marketing is managed. The theoretical contribution of this thesis consist of defining the proactive marketing concept comprehensively and providing further research suggestions related to proactive marketing.

THE MARKETING OF SOCIAL ENTERPRISES: Understanding the concepts of marketing and market orientation of social enterprises within the context of Pakistani market

The concepts of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises have been extensively discussed in the previous two decades, yet the topic is still not matured yet. Most of the available literature is focused on defining these terms. Similarly, limited number of authors has discussed the marketing function of these enterprises or how marketing is interpreted in social entrepreneurship models. However, there is a plethora of literature on marketing entailing many different theories, amongst which the newest one is the “market orientation concept”. Market orientation is a mix of customer orientation, competitor orientation and inter-functional coordination suggesting marketing to be a part of the business philosophy. This study focuses on the marketing and market orientation of social enterprises while giving an overview of the literature of marketing and market orientation in social enterprises. This study aims to provide two basic questions, 1) what is the literature on marketing and market orientation of social enterprises while explaining the literature of social enterprises in Pakistan and 2) how these concepts are interpreted in social enterprises in Pakistani market. Key features of research methodology include case study approach while conducting thematic analysis using thematic networks. The results indicate that only a limited number of authors have discussed market orientation concept in social enterprises. The results from the interview data indicate the usage of marketing by a firm unconsciously without a specific marketing department. In addition to that, it has been found that in social enterprise world competition is tackled through a win-win approach with a view that many enterprises working for society improve the society which is the basic mission of any social enterprise. The data also showed that in Pakistani market, social enterprise concept is not legally used yet, which allows for more room for innovation. This study intends to give a new perspective to the theorists to use market orientation concept in social enterprises and also to managers to use marketing as their business philosophy in order to satisfy the stakeholders for better delivery of their businesses and as well for social good.

Marketing relacional: satisfação na formação da lealdade do cliente

A revisão de literatura tem revelado grande interesse na lealdade do cliente e enfatizado cada vez mais a sua importância no sucesso de uma empresa. Simultaneamente, durante décadas, a satisfação tem sido mencionada como um importante determinante da lealdade. Paralelamente, o conceito marketing relacional tem assumido grande relevância ao nível da prestação de serviços, sustentando a ideia de que as empresas podem maximizar os seus ganhos com relações duradouras com os seus clientes, passando a gestão dessas relações a estar associada à satisfação e à consequente lealdade. Neste contexto, o presente estudo examina o efeito do grau de satisfação na formação do grau de lealdade do cliente, através de um estudo de caso de uma loja de desporto da região da Aveiro. Os dados recolhidos, a uma amostra de 220 inquiridos, por meio de um questionário, suportam a teoria de que estes dois constructos estão relacionados entre si. Desta forma, esta investigação permitiu aferir o grau de satisfação geral e de lealdade geral dos clientes para com a loja, fornecendo evidência empírica da existência de uma relação positiva (moderada) entre os mesmos. Foi, ainda, possível afirmar que o grau de lealdade não varia significativamente consoante determinadas características do perfil dos clientes inquiridos, contudo constituem características importantes para a tomada de decisão neste contexto específico.
