• Annexe 3 PHILIPS SURVEY(by Support Manager, Philips headquarters , Amsterdam, Netherlands)
1. What are the political (legal), economical, sociological and technological influences over Philips company?
Economical: credit crunch – smaller turnover, smaller profits,Sociological: increasing unemployment: smaller turnover, consumer expect product that maketheir life easier,Technological: fast technological changes force Philips to adapt quickly, Political: Comply with specific rules and standards that are implemented in countries wherePhilips is present.
2. Which are the main markets that Philips is part of?Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle, Lighting
3. Which are the direct and future competitors of the company?Direct competitors: other companies that offer electronic devices as Samsung , LG, Sony.Future competitors : mainly Chinese brands
4. Who are the people interested in Philips' products (potential customers)?Philips offers such an extensive range of products that everyone can be Philips potentialconsumer. However brand attracts mostly people that care for reliable products. 20
5. What are the two most important elements within your Marketing Mix? Why?All elements of marketing mix are important. Lack of attention to one of the 4P’s may cause
failure on the market. In my Business Unit Consumer Marketing Managers (CMM) develop a product only after they have checked consumer needs. Moreover, CMM needs to remember to create product within a given ‘price-cost range’ to meet consumer expectations. Price that is visible on the market is negotiated between Marketing Manager and Customer Marketing Manger in the relevant country. Promotion – packaging and visuals are developed by CMM but localized locally (there is also possibility to develop some new marketing materials locally). Price-related promotion is agreed between country and Marketing Managers. As you see, none of 4P’s has a dominant position.
6. What are the main Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of Philips?Strengths – reliable brand name, innovative products, shifting from product to services (from
creating a product to fulfilling consumer needs), know-how.Weaknesses - developing product that do not respond to consumer needs (sometimes there is
no need for the product created by Philips and such a need is also not created), lack or very little communication with consumers. Sometimes consumers do not know that a line of products exist. Finally, there are many procedures that are not flexible enough.
Opportunities - use of internet to provide more services.Threats – fast changing environment (organization is too formal to respond to fast changing
markets).

Our ConclusionsOur Conclusions
This interview, that reflects the marketing strategy of this year, had an impact on our marketing plan.
