79. The economy is part of the __________ considered during the general analysis of a business situation.
83. Define STP and explain how it influences the marketing process.
ANSWER: STP stands for segmentation, targeting, and positioning. The STP part of marketing
refers to the fact that we are very unlikely to be all things to all people, so it’s best
to identify groups, or segments, of customers who share similar needs and wants.
Once we understand the different segments’ preferences, and we presumably can
identify our own company’s strengths, we can identify the segment we should
target with our marketing efforts. We then strike up a conversation and relationship
with that target segment by positioning our product to them in the marketplace via
the 4Ps.

85. Why is it important to not go overboard on efforts to quantify marketing’s results? Describe why
segmentation strategy and advertising’s results should not be overanalyzed.
ANSWER: If you go overboard to quantify marketing’s results, you will get skewed results of
reality. For example, suppose you are trying to asses the value of a segmentation
strategy. If the segments are poorly defined, then the results of the segmentation
study may not be accurate. Also, it is difficult to measure the results of advertising
in the short term. The main goal of advertising should be to enhance brand image,
and that takes a lot longer than short-term sales.

88. Describe how different functions in a business interact with marketing, and why they should understand
marketing.
ANSWER: - Accounting and finance need to understand the importance of marketing because
the CEO does. With competition, you always need to be thinking about your
customers.
- Salespeople understand marketing. They know that if their company makes
products the customer wants, their job will be easier.
- R&D people appreciate marketing because they get jazzed when their
inventions become popular. It doesn’t take much marketing research to test
concepts or prototypes and to veer an R&D path one way or another.

89. Describe how the 5Cs, STP, and the 4Ps fit together to develop a marketing plan.
ANSWER: To elaborate on marketing strategy and develop a particular marketing plan, start
with a situation analysis, and sketch answers to the questions proposed by the 5Cs:
customers, company, context, collaborators, and competitors. With that background
analysis, proceed to strategic marketing planning via STP: segmentation, targeting,
and positioning. Similarly, marketing tactics to execute the intended positioning
derive from a customer focus: product, price, place, and promotion.
