The market
A market is a group of customers with heterogeneous
needs and wants – Examples: geographic market,
product market and demographic market
Different Market Groups
• Customers purchase goods and services for their
own or other people’s use.
• Consumers use the good or service.
• Clients are ‘customers’ of the products of not-forprofit organisations.

involved in the activities of the exchange process.
• Society is a body of individuals living as members of
a community.

marketer’s ability to create, communicate, deliver

environment into smaller parts in order to gain a

attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, preferences, customs
and lifestyles.

ethnicity, educational attainment, marital status,
parental status and so on.
– The natural environment is an example of a
sociocultural theme that has emerged recently.
The macro-environment
• Technological forces

behaviours of customers and clients and can have
huge effects on how suppliers work.
• Environmental forces
– Natural disasters, weather and climate change.

influence how firms will operate.
The macro-environment

organisation from where it currently is to where it
wants to be.
The situation analysis
SWOT analysis
• Analysis that identifies the internal strengths and
weaknesses and the external opportunities and threats
in relation to an organisation.
• Strengths: those attributes of the organisation that help
it achieve its objectives.
• Weaknesses: attributes of the organisation that hinder it
in trying to achieve its objectives.
• Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, directly
controllable by the organisation.
SWOT analysis
– Opportunities
• External factors that are potentially helpful to achieving
the organisation’s objectives.
