Task 1:
LO1: The role of marketing and how it interrelates with
other functional units of an organisation
The concept of marketing: Current and future trends
Marketing concepts are considered to believe that are analysed for any firms and the
also the customer needs are examined. In order to satisfy the needs of the customer
and develop customer loyalty, the companies need to analyse the demands and
problems of the customer to beat their competitors.
The production concept: Amongst all the concepts, the product is said to be the most
fundamental concept of marketing. Efficient quality and cheaply priced products are the
most preferred amongst the customer base. Managers of the company concentrate on
developing the products for their efficiency at low costs and distribute them in mass.
Customers gradually get attracted to the low-cost products if they find quality in them.
Availability of the products does matter too. Efficient manufacturing and cutting
production costs tends to increase the output and supply of the products.
The product concept: High-quality products are always preferred by customers that
also provide innovative features. High-quality products are the main aim of the
managers that help them improve the product quality over time. Customers do prefer
and admire efficiently and favourable well-made products. Managers are expected to
focus on the improvement of the product quality rather than bragging on the newly

made innovation for a long time. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S6 was replaced
with Samsung Galaxy S7 series.
The selling concept: Consumers and other organisations show reluctance in
purchasing all the goods available in the firm. Promotions and sale techniques are the
essential tools that approach band attract the customers for buying the products.
Business must focus on the products demanded rather than selling off what they have
manufactured. Thus, the business needs to adapt good selling and promotional tools
and techniques.
The marketing concept: The most satisfying part of this area is that it ultimately stands
for the competition with other relevant competitors in the market. Beating their
competitors in respect to quality products, communication strategies with customers,
product availability and pricing system. The customer is supposed to be the primary
dictator in this situation. There are four pillars of this concept: the need of the clients,
target market, integrated market and profitability.
The societal marketing concept: The demands of the target market is determined by
the company. The interests, needs and desires are analysed to satisfy the customers
and serve them better than their competitors. Production is done keeping in mind the
well-being of the customers’.
Trends in marketing
Relationship marketing: The direct marketing response has developed the output that
emphasises on satisfying the customers more than the selling attribute. The
communication is built up strongly and more than promotional messages. The parties

involved in the transaction settle their agreement for a shorter period and includes the
polite mode of exchange. After the transaction is over, a better relationship and contact
is developed with the customers to keep in touch with them for taking the review and
focus on improving if any fault is considered by the customer. The good bonding seeks
the organisation to develop good reputation so that the customers prefer them in future.
This trend is widely accepted now with the technological advancement. Customers are
contacted directly to get any complaints and reviews.
Industrial Marketing: This trend is found in the core business regions where the
exchange of products is between companies, i.e. B2B strategy. One company sells their
goods to other company to resell them and utilise them for manufacturing other complex
commodities for reselling. These marketing trend has hiked due to the technological
revolution. Entrepreneurial Revolution is another cause of this trend. The existing
companies in the market keep on revisiting the board rooms for developing new plans
for reinventing their potential. Adaptability, innovations, aggression, flexibility and speed
are the factors helping the companies to sustain in the race. New demands are explored
for ensuring the other competitors stay away and out of their execution field. The
marketing itself holds the third revolution that are mergers and alliances which are very
much evident in the current contemporary setup of the industry. Transactions,
innovating and inventing new skills and ideas are majorly stressed on to develop the
betterment of the business.
Societal marketing: The primary duty of the firm is to identify the needs, interests and
demands of the target market to deliver efficient satisfaction to the customers. The well-
being of the customers is kept in mind that is related to the Corporate and Social

responsibility for the customers. Public welfare is essential, and that is the reason for
adopting this culture. Quality products are the most important factor that brings both
long and short term benefits for the company.
Overview of the different marketing processes
The company is expected to analyse the needs of the customers and provide them
efficient satisfaction by serving them the best and better quality service than their
competitors. The processes involved are prosecuted step by step. First is the research

the other data like the market actual and flat response are also backed up by finance.

analyse the types of commodities and numbers to be produced. Marketing stimulates
individual perceptions regarding the influence of markets and demands for products by

Limited

popular amongst the customers. Marketing involves the engagement of potential buyers
in the awareness campaigns of the product. Consumers familiarise with the products

bound to increase. Production of high-quality products ensures better sales and
development of good communication between the company and consumers.

with strong pricing strategies that enable them to choose amongst the available
products.
The significance of having effective interrelationships between
different functional departments of EE Limited
Trust: Communication is efficient and accurate in the company and therefore, builds up
strong confidence level within them. Departments share accurate information when they
share effective communication and trust. Trusting restricts the rechecking of the
documents that save time.

results in the better customer servicing. Customers are limited from suffering
bureaucratic referrals like billing issues, where they had to contact the finance
department in the customer care.
Efficiency: Potentiality of the departments in performing their jobs need to be
prosecuted. The irresponsibility of one or two departments may lead the company to
suffer a loss of revenue. The launch of new products is communicated to the other
departments so that they are aware of it and act accordingly.
Conflict: When there is the breakdown of communication amongst the departments,
the conflicting situations arise creating a havoc loss of coordination in them. The
stakeholders are significantly harassed and suffer loss due to conflicts arising from
miscommunication. Proper communication is the only key to solving conflicts.
