Role of marketing
in the economics
Marketing is a completed concept of
the market cycle, it is a work with the market for exchanges aimed at
the satisfaction of human needs and requirements. The process of the exchange
requires: a search for buyers, identification
of their needs, design of appropriate products, promotion them to the market,
storage, transportation, pricing, service organization, and advertising. The role of marketing in the economy is the
growth of its commercial and operational efficiency [1].
Marketing is one of the fundamental disciplines of the market for
professional workers, such as retailers, workers in advertising, marketing
researchers, heads of production of new and vintage items, etc. They need to
know how to describe the market and divide it into segments, how to assess the
needs, demands and preferences of consumers in the target market, how to design
and test the product with the right for this market, consumer properties,
either through the price to the consumer to bring the idea of the value of the goods, how to choose a skilled intermediaries in order
the product was widely available, well presented, how to advertise and sell
goods to consumers in a way that they wanted to buy it.
At the present time the knowledge of the end user and the ability to
flexibly respond to his demands are becoming vital. Otherwise, sale of goods and growth of profitability of the
enterprise will not be provided. It is necessary to study the possibility and
effectiveness of various forms and methods of sale of goods, produce work on
the formation needs of the population, enhance the prestige of the trading
firm. This type of economic behavior of enterprises is
usually associated with marketing, which has worked well in the practice of
foreign organizations of the value of enterprises in the competitive economy
[2]. Today there is virtually no industrialized country, where in one or another way is not
practiced by marketing activities. Firms that focus on marketing, more
competitive suffer smaller losses, leading to profitability.
In a market economy, the marketing function is to organize a free and
competitive exchange to ensure effective compliance with supply and demand for
goods and services. This correspondence is not spontaneous and requires:
- Organization of material exchange, in other words, the physical flow
of goods between production and consumer;
- Organization of communication, in other words, the flow of information
prior to the exchange that accompanies it and following it in order to ensure
effective compliance with supply and demand.
Thus, the role of marketing is the exchange and communication between
sellers and buyers. The role of marketing in the economy lies in the fact that
it is designed to bring production in line with demand. The efforts of marketing
services designed to create a range of products that would meet public demand.
Much attention is paid to the appearance of the goods, consumer
characteristics, after-sales service. At the same
marketing efforts should be aimed at convincing the buyer that the product is the
best, to create a "commitment" to the buyer's brand [3].
Marketing is aimed at finding the most effective combination of
traditional and new products, it is the basis for a decision on the expansion
or reduction of production volumes, product upgrades, or removing it from the
production, contributes to the development and implementation of development
plans of the enterprise [4]. Systematic and effective marketing culture
enhances business activity, allows businesses to effectively align resources
with the goals and objectives - with the needs of customers.
Marketing has an important economic role in the market economy. Not only
due to the fact that it provides an effective coupling of supply and demand,
but also because it starts a virtuous cycle of economic development and
consists of the following stages:
- Marketing reveals unmet needs and develops customized products,
respectively;
- Marketing performs an action plan that leads to the creation and
growth of demand for these new products;
- Increased demand leads to lower costs, which leads to lower prices,
making the market come new groups of customers;
- Expansion of the market is attracting new investments, which allow for
economies of scale and to develop improved or new products.
Marketing is a factor of economic democracy because it creates a system
that:
a) listen to the voice of the customer;
b) directs investment and production in the foreseeable needs;
c) take into account the diversity of needs through the segmentation of
markets;
d) stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship.
In conclusion it should be added, the need for market management
concepts in marketing has been particularly felt in recent years due to
increased competition in the market economies. Marketing increases the validity of
decisions on various matters of industrial, scientific, industrial, financial
and sales activities, distributing orderliness in the sphere of market
relations. This is reflected in the rationalization process of commodity
circulation, improving the practice of accounting and forecasting of market
conditions in the process of corporate planning. Marketing
allows you to find a means to mitigate and resolve crises of overproduction, to
ensure that the supply and demand.
