Marketing is the process of planning and executing the
conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas,
goods, services, organizations, and events to create and
maintain relationships that will satisfy individual and
organizational objectives. The core of the marketing
concept is the understanding of your customers and their
importance to your business. To use the marketing concept, businesses should:
Find out the needs of potential customers (Market Research);
Analyze these needs in relation to your own capabilities (Market Strategy);
Focus on a market you can serve best (Segmentation);
Determine how to satisfy the needs of your target market (Market Mix)

2 As Akio Morita, Sony’s visionary leader puts it: “Our plan is to lead the public
with our products rather than ask them what kind of product they want. The
public does not know what is possible, but we do. So instead of doing lots of
market research, we try to create a market for a product by EDUCATING the
public about what the product can do for them.”

Mission Statement
http://www.dutpgz.cn
Lead-in Text A Text B Real Life Practice Practical Writing
Organizations which remain successful must develop and execute strategic
plans. To do so, they must understand what they are trying to accomplish. A
Mission statement is a brief statement that describes very concisely and
specifically what the organization is trying to accomplish. A written and publicized
mission statement is very valuable to achieving focus on the organizational
purpose. It helps define organizational goals for the business, helps managers at
all levels maintain alignment and focus on the organization’s business, and can be
used in creating a public image of the organization.

Mission Statement
Structure of a Mission Statement
The following elements can be included in a mission statement. Their
sequence can be different. It is important, however, that some elements
supporting the accomplishment of the mission be present and not just the mission
as a “wish”. They are:
purpose and values of the organization;
the business the organization wants to be in (products or services) or the
organizations’ primary “clients”;
the responsibilities of the organization towards these clients;
the main objectives which support the company in accomplishing its mission.
