B2B Brand Management

Autor Philip Kotler, Waldemar Pförtsch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 feb 2010

Mulți lideri din sectorul industrial operează încă sub mitul conform căruia brandingul este un instrument rezervat exclusiv bunurilor de larg consum, precum băuturile răcoritoare sau fast-food-ul. Considerăm că această eroare strategică ignoră realitatea pieței actuale, unde produsele devin tot mai similare, iar diferențierea prin performanță pură este tot mai greu de susținut. B2B Brand Management demontează ideea că numele unei companii este doar o etichetă, demonstrând că, în context industrial, brandul reprezintă o promisiune fermă de rezultate. Dacă Strategy and Management of Industrial Brands de Philippe Malaval v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al minimizării riscului în achizițiile B2B, această lucrare semnată de Philip Kotler și Waldemar Pförtsch oferă instrumentele practice pentru a transforma această promisiune în forța motrice a întregii organizații.

Recomandăm această ediție a doua, actualizată pentru 2025, datorită structurii sale riguroase care ghidează cititorul prin dilemele fundamentale ale identității corporative. Autorii încep prin a analiza necesitatea brandingului, trec prin dimensiunile specifice segmentului business-to-business și culminează cu strategii de accelerare și studii de caz de succes de la giganți precum Caterpillar sau Siemens. Față de lucrările anterioare ale lui Philip Kotler, cum este Marketing Management, Global Edition, care trasează liniile generale ale disciplinei, sau Marketing 5.0, axat pe tehnologie, volumul de față se concentrează strict pe mecanismele de reputație care fac ca un agent de vânzări să fie primit cu respect într-un birou înainte de a rosti primul cuvânt. Este o explorare a modului în care valorile precum calitatea „Six Sigma” de la Motorola devin parte integrantă din cultura și oferta unei companii.

Descriere scurtă

This is one of the first books to probe deeply into the art and science of branding industrial products. The book comes at a time when more industrial companies need to start using branding in a sophisticated way. It provides the concepts, the theory, and dozens of cases illustrating the successful branding of industrial goods. It offers strategies for a successful development of branding concepts for business markets and explains the benefits and the value a business, product or service provides to industrial customers. As industrial companies are turning to branding this book provides the best practices and hands-on advice for B2B brand management.

Descriere

As products become increasingly similar, companies are turning to branding as a way to create a preference for their offerings. Branding has been the essential factor in the success of well-known consumer goods such as Coca Cola, McDonald's, Kodak, and Mercedes. In fact, these brands are worth many times more than the book value of the property used to make these brands.
Now it is time for more industrial companies to start using branding in a sophisticated way. Some industrial companies have led the way... Caterpillar, DuPont, Siemens, GE. But industrial companies must understand that branding goes far beyond building names for a set of offerings. Branding is about promising that the company's offering will create and deliver a certain level of performance. The promise behind the brand becomes the motivating force for all the activities of the company and its partners. Thus if Motorola promises six sigma quality, then everyone at Motorola is driven to create and deliver this level of performance.
Thus branding is the road that a company must travel to define what it wants to be excellent at and how its offerings differ from competitors. Branding is the outward expression of the company's earlier decisions on positioning its products and articulating its value propositions to buyers. When branding works, the sales people enter the offices of customers already well-known and respected who stand ready to give them a hearing.
Our book is one of the first to probe deeply into the art and science of branding industrial products. We provide the concepts, the theory, and dozens of cases illustrating the successful branding of industrial goods.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Just received my copy of B2B Brand Management - what a beautiful piece of work! Thank you for this advancement to our practice! (Ralph A. Oliva, Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Business Markets Professor of Marketing, Smeal College of Business, Penn State University)
"Proliferation of similar products, increasing complexity of customer needs (moving from stand-alone products to solutions), and high price pressures will force b2b marketers to focus on brand building. If you are a b2b marketer already thinking along those lines, then this book is the weightiest corroboration you could have asked for." (TMCnet, October 2006)
"When it comes to marketing, there is no name bigger than Phillip Kotler. … In this book, co-authored with … Professor Waldemar Pfoertsch, Kotler makes a case for brand management in business-to-business (b2b) marketing as well. … The core proposition in the book is that in the new globalized world ‘being known’ rather than ‘being one of many’ is the need of the hour. … How does branding help in overcoming … challenges? The authors offer a huge list-it helps with differentiation … ." (Business Today, October, 2006)
