However, there is another side that is expected to blossom during the next decade business-to business marketing. According to Business to Business “2007 Marketing Priorities and Plans” survey, marketing efforts

In addition, the negotiation process is more personal between the buyer and seller in business marketing.Business marketers tend to use direct mail and trade journals as the preferred method of advertising, and

Business marketers must understand how the two methods work together in order to create and deliver value.eCommerceAlthough Business-to-Consumer electronic commerce captures the attention of the industry, Busine
14、ss-to-Business electronic commerce is the format that is predicted to reap most of e-business activity. Business-to-Business eCommerce has exploded. This market became a trillion-dollar market by 2003, and was expected to have a 90% compound annual growth rate (Sprague, 2000). According to Sprague (
15、2000), B2B e-commerce represents another revolution that is reshaping business relationships and is causing dramatic shifts in channel power as information and communication imbalances disappear” (p.1). B2B eCommerce provides buyers and suppliers with value propositions that can lower transaction co

The model presented five ways that this could be done, and they are: Changes in the processes.B2B eCommerce can improve efficiencies by reducing the costs associated
18、 with existing business processes. Improvements may occur in two different ways. The first way is to reduce the cost of an activity that is currently being conducted (i.e. catalog orders being taken online versus by telephone or fax). The second way is to use the Internet to redesign the existing pr

Each process improvement effort should be measured and evaluated to ensure that there are cost savings. This effort can be assessed by documenting the time and costs involved in both the

25、公司作为一个领导者的其他目标中列出了调查。虽然电子邮件,搜索和网播被列为仍被重要和值得一些资金,网站的发展是明显的领先者获得最大份额的在线营销预算。该调查还发现,2007年67.7 %的广告客户计划推出新的广告系列。“企业对企业营销是一个复杂的学科,在对工业,机构或政府的买家” 的交易中已经占有很大的份额了(Oliva, n.d., p. 1)。许多经济学家预测,这些市场预期的净购买额将达到数万亿美元以上,因此许多人预测,企业对企业的营销将超过企业对消费者营销。然而,企业对企业,企业对消费者的营销是有不同的侧重点的。一企业营销与消费者营销 这两种营销是有很多的不同点,比如说企业可以使用更短,更
26、直接的分销渠道(Dwyer & Tanner,2006年),而消费者营销旨在通过大众媒体和零售商获取更多的消费者。此外,企业营销中的买方卖方谈判进程是更具个性化的。企业营销往往使用直接邮件和行业杂志作为首选方法的广告,这样的费用也不是很高(Hull & Speh,2001年)。据奥利瓦的观点,这两种营销模式都有各自的特点:企业对企业(B2B)的市场营销交易主要是在内部的价值链之间价值主要取决于企业的规模大小只有少量的客户,但是他们许多需要个性化 市场营销,包括定制产品和价格大客户往往有着较强的购买能力(企业的客户往往是其竞争对手)多样化的客户类型和客户需求大规模交易复杂和漫长的销售过程,因为大
27、规模的采购在决定方面要经过很长时间的考虑渠道管理会上下衍生到供应链企业对消费者(B2C)的营销交易通过经销商直接提供给最终消费者价值取决于最终消费者的观念注重品牌管理有大量的类似消费者交易规模小线性销售,通常交易时间短渠道管理主要是面向零售商销售活动的重点是最终用户由于新的市场营销手段和通信技术的发展,B2B和B2C的营销工作跨多个行业。企业营销者必须充分了解怎么样把两种方法结合在一起,从而更好地为企业创造价值。二营销与电子商务的综合利用 虽然B2C现在获得的许多行业的注意力,但是B2B电子商务模式,预计未来将获得大部分的电子商务活动。B2B电子商务现在已经开始迅速发展,这个市场将会成为一个万
28、亿美元的市场。据Sprague(2000年), B2B电子商务代表着又一场商业革命,首先正在改变正常的商业关系。B2B的电子商务模式给买家和供应商提供的价值主张,可以降低交易成本和增加在商业关系中所能获得的价值。这些有价值的建议会给新进入的市场者提供意见,使他们更好地运用电子商务。 B2B电子商务的一个重要的目标就是改变交易成本和以及交易双方在交易中所获得的利益。Kaplan and Garicano(2001年)制定了一个框架,用来形容B2B怎么样降低交易成本。该模型提出了五个方面,分别是:交易流程的改变B2B的电子商务模式可以通过降低与业务流程有关的成本,从而提高效率。改进可能会发生在两种
29、不同的方式。第一种方法是降低有关活动的成本,这种方法是现在经常用到的(比如说通过网上或电话,传真来传递订单)。第二种方法是使用互联网来改变一些交易的程序(比如说Autodaq创造了网上拍卖二手车,而不必通过船泊运送汽车到现场拍卖)。每个过程的改进都应该努力衡量和评估其成果,以确保能够节省费用。通过记录改进前和改进后时间和费用的区别,这两个方面的差别就是交易流程改变带来的收益。互联网给市场性质带来的变化因特网的使用可以:(1)减少了买方去找供应商的成本(2)也使买家能够更好地了解产品的特性(3)而且互联网上可以提供关于买家和卖家的有关信息。交易成本的削减通过B2B电子商务可以更好地了解未来的需求,使得销售者可以更好地提高其需求预测能力,并利用这些信息来改变其未来生产的决定。因此,买方可取得更多的有关现有和未来的供应的信息以及使用这些信息来决定其库存。此外,如果互联网是能够减少一部分交易过程中的费用,那么就能减少许多内部组织中的交易。信息不对称程度的改变 由于买家和卖家往往在同一个交易过程中掌握不同的信息,所以在评价交易的的可取性的时候,一方或双方都有可能处于不利地位。因特网可以改变卖方,买方的信息立场,使其不处于被动地位。
