1. Seamless Global society
The physical Distance, information and Knowledge,
has now become redundant.
Emergence Of global Society and universal values.
Universal value relates to concept of time.Which is
an indicator of opportunity.
By this More and more customers are willing to
accept global products and services.
Further, emergences of these values has altered
concept of space,time and Location.
7
2. Basis For competitive advantage
Technological changes has lead to significant shifts

in Competitive leadership.
The present Day environment, Knowledge
management has become crucial armour for
competitive survival.

A = Your point of differentiation. Some questions to
consider:
How sustainable is this?
Is this really as large as we’d like it to be?
How can we make it larger and more sustainable?
B = Points of parity. Some questions to consider:
What do we want to do with these?
C = Competitors’ points of differentiation. Some
questions to consider:
Is this area growing?
How difficult would it be for us to move these to B or A?
D = Opportunity. Some questions to consider:
How do we go after this so we move it into A and not B?
How do we prevent our competitors from moving it to B
or C?
Why is this space so large and A so small?
The only way to do this analysis in a useful way is to get
the information from your target market. Don’t

3.Business at the speed of thought

The marketing Challenges Lies In enabling
Customers To overcome their resistance to change.
The Product Life Cycles will Be far shorter.
Interactive technologies will eliminate several roles
in marketing of products and services.
Products will be further standardized and hence the
opportunities to differentiate will no longer exists.
10
4. Virtual Enterprises
In this era of Digital Darwinism and virtual
reality, size and location of an enterprise
will have a very little or no role to play.
A Virtual Enterprise (VE) is a temporary alliance of
enterprises that come together to share skills or
core competencies and resources in order to better
respond to business opportunities, and whose
cooperation is supported by computer networks.
It is a manifestation of collaborative networks
The enterprise is more of an action, rather
than an institution.
11
5.Customer: Co-producer of products
and services.
The Producer will take the product up to certain
level in the value chain and then leave it for the
buyer to customize it to his or her requirements.
Ex- Asian Paints Shade Bay.

McDonald: Customers not only collects the order
but also cleans up after the food is consumed.
Color Worlds are altering the manner in
which products are distributed and
sold.
12
13
6.Customer: A warehouse of information
In this internet and speed age, the customers has

access to huge bank of information from various
national and global sources.
Hence the era of standardization is today replaced
by mass customization.
14
7.The Death of business and consumer
marketing
The differentiation between business and

consumer marketing, urban & rural
marketing and domestic & global marketing
will get more blurred.
The physical difference between the
product & services will cease to exist.
15
8.The role Of Distribution Channels
The conventional dealer and distributors will no

longer Viable.
Service and customized will be the order of the day.
Global SCM will emerge and converge.
16
9.The Poor as Market Segment
Globalization has widened the gap between

the rich and the poor.
Poor people world wide are now a large
segment which get not be ignored.
This segment offers more attractive
opportunity than the rich segment.
17

• The role of human migration,
• International trade,
• Movement of capital, and
• Integration of financial markets
18
Globalization:
Globalization refers to increasing global connectivity,
integration and interdependence in the economic,
social, technological, cultural, political, and ecological
spheres.
Globalization is an umbrella term and is perhaps best
understood as a unitary process inclusive of many
sub-processes such as-
• Enhanced economic
• Interdependence,
• Increased cultural influence,
• Rapid advances of information technology, and
• Novel governance and
• Geopolitical challenges that are increasingly binding
people and
• The biosphere more tightly into one global system.
19
Globalization:
• Globalisation of the world economy has
been especially pronounced after World
War II and the Great Depression of the
1930’s in the USA.
• The rise in the volume of trade between
the developed and the developing
countries,
• Increase in cross-border transactions, rise
in immigration and
• Transfer of technology are some of the
key issues of globalisation

on Demographic & geographical location of the
customers, but also on their response in changes
epically to technological changes for which

Three major developments in global markets and
technologies which have brought customer to
the forefront:
1. The information revolution
2. Customer demands in areas of
product and service cost, quality,
delivery, technology, and cycle time
brought about by increased global

Nature
For the global firm, the value-adding activities
(meaning the nodes) will be located in different
countries.
As a result the material, information and cash flows

(meaning the arcs) must cross national boundaries to
support operation of the global supply chain.
VALUE-ADDING ACTIVITIES: R&D, product design,

sourcing and procurement, production, distribution
and service, marketing, finance and accounting
40
Understanding the
Customer
Customer demand from different
segments may vary along several
attributes
– Lot size
– Response time
– Service level Implied
– Product variety Demand
– Price Uncertainty
– Innovation
41
Scope
• A global Marketing can realize such advantages
only if the management of the chain’s
geographically dispersed activities are
effectively coordinated and are flexible enough
to adjust the value-adding activities throughout
the world in response to the changes in the
competitive environment.
Thus COORDINATION & FLEXIBILITY are

the key concepts in implementing a
global Marketing Strategy
