Article from Hunt
What is in marketing’s focus, where is it present, and through what categories it can be examined?
1) Main focus of marketing is on exchange relationship
2) Marking is present in both profit and non-profit sectors
3) Marketing can be analysed through looking at three contrasting categories what are profit/non-profit, micro/macro, and positive/normative
Purpose of the theory and consensus
Theory creates a systematic structure to explain and predict given phenomena
Consensus: something is according to the writings of philosophers of science, social science, and marketing theorists
Hierarchy of effects model
Tries to explain how consumer responds to marking by the hierarchy of thinking, feeling, and doing
Low involvement model
Suggests that for trivial products, the consumers interests are so low that they will respond to advertising through a hierarchy of cognition, conation, and affect (rather than cognition (thinking), affect (feeling), and conation (doing)
Integrated Information Response Model
Attempts to unify both the traditional and low involvement models
The five domains in marketing science
1) The behaviours of buyers is directed at completing exchanges
2) The behaviours of sellers is directed at completing exchanges
3) The institutional framework is directed at completing and/or facilitating exchanges
4) The consequences on society of the behaviours of buyers, the behaviours of sellers, and the institutional framework directed at completing and/or facilitating exchange
5) The process leading to value creation and exchange
Structural forms of theories
1) A hierarchical form: one whose component laws are deductions from a very small subset of basic principles or axioms
2) A collection of sub-theories form: take several smaller theories and combine them in a systematic fashion.

Three types of exchange
1) Restricted exchange: happens between two parties between who both parties receive from and give to another one, called in latin quid pro quo relationship
2) Generalised exchange: Univocal reciprocal relationship between at least three parties who only give something to another party. Therefore, there is no direct benefit gotten after the transaction
3) Complex exchange: Here at least three parties are having direct exchanges at least with one parti in both direction, give to and receive from. There is also a interconnecting web what connects all the parties
Explain media of exchange
The vehicles (money, persuasion, punishment, power, inducement, and activation of normative or ethical commitments) with which people communicate to, and influence, others in the satisfaction of their needs. Products and services are also media of exchange
Explain meaning of exchange
Exchange is more than the mere transfer of a product or service for money. It is a action and reaction to it put together.
Types of marketing exchange
Utilitarian, symbolic, or mixed
Utilitarian exchange
Goods are given in return for money or other goods and the motivation behind the actions lies in the expected use or tangible characteristics commonly associated with the objects in the exchange
built on the foundation of economic man. Thus, it is assumed that:
1) Men are rational in their behavior.
2) They attempt to maximise their satisfaction in exchanges.
3) They have complete information on alternatives available to them in exchanges.
4) These exchanges are relatively free from external influence
Symbolic exchange
Mutual transfer of psychological, social, or other intangible entities between two or more parties
Mixed exchange
This exchange involve both utilitarian and symbolic aspects, and it is often very difficult to separate the two.
Social marketing
Social marketing, then, addresses a particular type of problem which, in turn, is a subset of the generic concept of marketing.
Social marketing is really a subset of the generic concept of marketing in that it deals with the creation and resolution of exchanges in social relationships.
Social relationships (as opposed to economic relationships) are those such as family planning agent-client, welfare agent-indigent, social worker-poor person, and so on.

Discussion on marketing what is based on a service logic and to analyse if and how this perspective fits the marketing of goods
How services differ from physical goods?
Their processing nature is “open” where customers participate as co-producers and can directly influence the progress of these processes.
How consumers consume physical goods?
It happens in a “closed system” and is a black box for a company because it doesn’t see the exact process of consumption
How service marketing changed marketing approach?
Marking approach started to be directed towards facilitating interactions during the consumption process rather than only making the exchange. Without successful interactions, continuous interactions will not take place.
What is external and interactive marketing functions?
Traditional external function focuses on advertising, market research and direct mail while interactive marketing function focuses on other things like making interactions when production and consumption are happening.
What is a service?
Service focuses on value creation rather than a category of market offerings and supporting value creation for a customer.
What is the difference between value-in-use and value-in-exchange?
Value-in-use is created when consumer uses the product himself in daily life and creates a value for himself, not by the producer. Value-in-exchange means that no matter what will happen later, customer gets a product value already in exchange of it, not in the later use.
What extended consumption concept takes into account?
It takes into account the fact that consumption is not only a consumption of physical goods as value-in-use process, but also the experience of a purchase, interactions made at every point connect with the product by the supplier and so on.

Article from Van Raaij
What is dominant culture of a country?
It relates to basic cultural assumptions, history, national ethic, religious and social values
What is culture of organisation?
It is an organisational identity consisting from signs (symbols, heroes), communication (verbal, and visual messages), rituals and behaviours that characterises the organisation over time.
What is a material culture of commodities?
It consists from products, brands, stores, supermarkets, product and store designs, and product advertisement.
What is a consumer culture?
It consists from goods and services. In this culture, there might be a dominant culture, but at a closer look we can find many culture what are related to region, age, income, social class, and other consumer characteristics.
What are the four dimensions Hofstede found on what national cultures differ?
1) Power distance: The distribution of power; degree of equality; degree of emphasis on hierarchy
2) Uncertainty avoidance: Degree of feeling threatened by uncertainty, ambiguous, risky situations
3) Individualism/collectivism: Degree of individualism versus group belongingness; group loyalty
4) Competitiveness: Degree of competition between people versus caring for each other. At the same time, Hofstede used here masculinity and femininity. Masculine values are assertiveness and competition, whereas feminine values are nurturing and caring for others
What is a horizontal culture segmentation?
Horizontal segmentation takes into account cultural differences within one nation/region leaving out differences between different nations/regions. From this segmentation, one specific segment can be approached in one nation if there will be enough media to reach it
What is a vertical culture segmentation?
Vertical segmentation ignores cultural differences within one region and only takes into account differences between different regions
What is etic and emic approaches? What is the difference?
Etic products and communication uses culturally neutral approach so it can be used in different regions without any changes.
Emic approach uses culture specific approach. Therefore, communication and products differ from region to region.
What is formal equivalence and functional equivalence of campaign?
Formal equivalent campaign is completely standardised and identical in in different cultures and regions.
Functional equivalent campaigns have an identical mission and communication objective but use different concepts to spread the same message in different cultures
Into what four levels can be communication divided using emic/etic and universal/unique continuum?
1) Mission: Overall, long-term objective of a sender and its communication to target groups. Mission is different depending on a identity, personality, vision and/or credo of the communicator
2) Proposition: It is the campaign theme or a more specific objective of the communication campaign. It plays a role of the link between the sender and the receiver.
3) Concept: The creative concept is the “translation” of the proposition into the language and culture of the target group in order to increase the appreciation and understanding of the message.
4) Execution: It is the style, visual aspect of the campaign and the presenter in it
Explain Usuniers model
A process model where you can integrate an understanding of what is known about culture and how other cultures act with attitude towards action.
Time: M-time - Schedule is set and followed; if any problems then conversation is stopped. P-time - Many things are done at the same time and process is flexible
Space: Groups cultures live close to one another; Individualistic cultures appreciate private space. In-group has it’s own rights and obligations; Out-group assumes all people are equal with the same rights.
Time and space influence the concept of yourself and others. It affects if you’re willing to be a member.
Locus of control - how much people believe that they have control of situations that affect their lives.
What Hofstede value dimensions show?
One axe is Power distance and another is individualism. Those countries that are higher in collectivism also tend to be higher in power distance and those higher in individualism also tend to be lower in power distance.
