Studying the Link Between Volume of Media Coverage and Business Outcomes. Udit Joshi
My study is based on exploring the Link between Volume of Media Coverage and Business Outcomes. The main purpose of this study is to gather and classify the varying factors used in marketing mix modeling, and to look at how public relations is represented therein. Only a few studies albeit have actually been published on the topic within industry literature lacking especially in the Indian context. I would also like to bring upon the issue of Online Media an emerging area for marketing mix modeling which is of particular interest to the practitioners for measuring public relations through websites and consumer-generated media.
Understanding how news and advertising interact is important, from two perspectives. From a business management perspective, this understanding would enable a company to develop optimally-effective integrated communications plans and to allocate resources appropriately. From a theoretical perspective, there is the promise of deepening our understanding of how people integrate messages received from different forms of mass
communication.
While this study focused on how the volume of media coverage relates to brand value, reputation in the media is often a greater predictor of brand value and business outcomes such as sales. In industries that involve more research before purchases are made, the editorial content that results from PR can account for nearly half of brand value.
In industries that exhibit a stronger link between media coverage and brand value, managers in these product categories need to pay special attention to the way the brand’s value is impacted by its communications activities.
‘Earned media’ that results from public relations efforts may be more important than advertising to brand value, especially for companies that sell feature-rich, high-involvement and complicated products such as consumer durables. Findings from the study reveal that industries that sell high involvement products - where a buyer invests time and effort in deciding what to buy than buying by impulse.
Public Relations could be used as a powerful tool to draw customer attention. A timely and topical issue can be news that drives media coverage, getting the company’s name or brand more visibility.

Ch 01 an overview of strategic mktg - webster - sp1 2012Jim Shankle
This document provides an overview of key marketing concepts from an introductory marketing course. It defines marketing and discusses topics like the marketing mix, the marketing environment, stakeholders, and the importance of marketing. Key points covered include defining marketing as creating and distributing goods and services to satisfy customer needs, the four Ps of the marketing mix, the forces in the dynamic marketing environment, and how implementing the marketing concept can help organizations better serve customers.
The document discusses key differences between marketing and selling concepts, philosophies of marketing, and marketing analysis and environment forces.
The marketing concept focuses on understanding customer needs and wants to produce products that satisfy them, while the selling concept focuses more on selling goods produced regardless of customer wants.
Marketing philosophies include production, product, selling, and societal concepts. Marketing analysis involves a SWOT analysis to evaluate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and match strengths to opportunities while mitigating weaknesses and threats.
Microenvironment forces close to the company like customers, suppliers, and departments must work together to create value. Macroenvironment forces from broader society like demographics and environment trends also influence companies and markets.
* In an increasingly copy-cat economy, the new basis of competition is business model innovation.
* Unfortunately, the work of business model innovation is too often left undone, at great cost to the organization's longer term growth opportunities and its profitability. This gap is the outcome of marketing's role increasingly being defined around demand generation and brand communications in increasingly fragmented channels, roles that have required many new marketing subspecialties.
* The CMO is ideally suited to facilitate business model strategy decisions, decisions that must be made by the leadership team as a whole.
* Deploying the CMO to facilitate business model innovation will align brand and business strategy, benefiting the success of both.
How digital technology is reshaping marketing organizationsTim Nagels
The document summarizes how digital technology is reshaping marketing organizations.

Market research collects information about customers to ensure products meet their wants and needs profitably. Without understanding customers, many businesses fail. Market analysis studies a market's size, growth, costs, distribution channels, trends and success factors. Marketing strategy coordinates long-term activities like advertising across media to reach large audiences. Advertising raises awareness and increases sales by informing people of new products. Brand promotion builds customer loyalty through increasing awareness of what makes a brand unique.
The document discusses the marketing environment and its impact on business organizations. It explains that marketing activities are influenced by uncontrollable external factors known as the marketing environment. The environment consists of micro and macro elements. The micro environment includes factors directly affecting the company like customers, suppliers, and competitors. The macro environment comprises broader forces like demographics, economics, technology, and culture that impact all businesses. Understanding both the micro and macro environments is important for developing a strategic marketing plan and succeeding in the market.

Identifying Competitive Advantages
LO 2.1 Explain why competitive advantages are temporary along with the four key areas of a SWOT analysis.
Running a company today is similar to leading an army; the top manager or leader ensures all participants are heading in the right direction and completing their goals and objectives. Companies lacking leadership quickly implode as employees head in different directions attempting to achieve conflicting goals. To combat these challenges, leaders communicate and execute business strategies (from the Greek word stratus for army and ago for leading).
A business strategy is a leadership plan that achieves a specific set of goals or objectives such as increasing sales, decreasing costs, entering new markets, or developing new products or services. A stakeholder is a person or group that has an interest or concern in an organization. Stakeholders drive business strategies, and depending on the stakeholder’s perspective, the business strategy can change. It is not uncommon to find stakeholders’ business strategies have conflicting interests such as investors looking to increase profits by eliminating employee jobs. Figure 2.1 displays the different stakeholders found in an organization and their common business interests.
Good leaders also anticipate unexpected misfortunes, from strikes and economic recessions to natural disasters. Their business strategies build in buffers or slack, allowing the company the ability to ride out any storm and defend against competitive or environmental threats. Of course, updating business strategies is a continuous undertaking as internal and external environments rapidly change. Business strategies that match core company competencies to opportunities result in competitive advantages, a key to success!
A competitive advantage is a feature of a product or service on which customers place a greater value than they do on similar offerings from competitors. Competitive advantages provide the same product or service either at a lower price or with additional value that can fetch premium prices. Unfortunately, competitive advantages are typically temporary, because competitors often quickly seek ways to duplicate them. In turn, organizations must develop a strategy based on a new competitive advantage. Ways that companies duplicate competitive advantages include acquiring the new technology, copying the business operations, and hiring away key employees. The introduction of Apple’s iPod and iTunes, a brilliant merger of technology, business, and entertainment, offers an excellent example.
In early 2000, Steve Jobs was fixated on developing video editing software.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
