Content(s)


Business marketing is marketing which takes place between businesses (companies, professions, trade businesses) or organisations (the State, public organisations, hospitals, associations)as opposed to consumer marketing
which focuses on consumers. In Business Marketing, customers are not consumers but other businesses or companies.

Business Marketing is very different from Consumer Marketing; it consists of managing the activities, the institutions and the processes such as creation, communication, delivery and offer exchange all of which have a value for customers, partners and the society. Marketing can be looked at as an organisational function and a set of processes for creating, delivering and communicating value to customers, and managing relationships in ways that benefit the organisation.

Business Marketing depends on the nature of the market and the business relationships, as well as the strategies and management tools used. In addition to the specific business markets, the total sales volume is much higher than for private markets. The turnover of trade between companies accounts for nearly 70% of all trade.

Marketing defines the service which the logistic process must provide. Integral part of the overall process of providing the product to the customer, marketing and logistic functions often work together. Marketing is located upstream from logistics (e.g. new product development and marketing strategy).

It is also possible to choose a different topic, but it must be accepted by your teacher. The report consists of writing up a literature review (in teams) on the chosen topic, identifying a problem and presenting the implications and limitations of the research. At least an empirical analysis or field analysis is required. At the end of session projects, a 15-minute oral presentation takes place in the class.
