The document reviews Alan Pomering's Sustainability Marketing Model, which proposes expanding the traditional 4P marketing mix framework to an 8P marketing matrix to better address sustainability. The additional four Ps of participants, physical evidence, processes, and partnerships are meant to ensure sustainability impacts of decisions are considered. The matrix is structured around the three pillars of sustainable development - planet, people, and profit - to guide managers' decision making. The model provides a comprehensive framework to drive sustainable development across operational marketing activities.

A well-developed strategy will aid in the realization of the business goals and build a strong reputation for your products. This marketing strategy helps in the focusing of the company products and services to the market segment most appropriate for them. The development process usually involves the creation of two ideas that are powerful to create awareness of the business and its products thereof (Hooley and Saunders 2004)
Marketing strategy is a component of a marketing plan that aims at directing the program toward the achievement of the organisational goals and objectives. Marketing plan is therefore a comprehensive document that lays bare all the regulatory advertising and marketing efforts and activities that are geared towards achieving these goals within a given duration of time. Marketing strategy has a pivotal role in increasing the sales volume of every organisation and realizing sustainable competitive edge. (Viardot, 2004) It encompasses all primary, short-term and long-term activities in the marketing field and it entails analysis of the initial strategic position of business together with the creation, evaluation and selection of market-geared strategies and hence lend to the goals of the firm as well as its marketing objective.
The process of marketing strategy development begins with the evaluation of the environmental factors, which entails the strategic constraints. It is therefore necessary to have a clear understanding of the external environment, including, technological, economic, cultural, political and legal elements of the environment. Secondly, goals are chosen and objectives set. A marketing strategy is, therefore, the explanation of all the specific actions to be taken to achieve the set goals. Marketing strategies are interactive and dynamic; partially planned and partially unplanned (Luke, 2004) this is to give room for the business to react to unforeseen challenges within the marketing environment as they try to keep focussed on a particular direction. A longer time span is preferred, usually five years. Simulation models such as customer lifetime value models aid marketers to conduct “what if” analysis to try and predict what might happen in future if certain conditions are met, and rate the extent to which such actions can affect the organisation’s revenue per customer and the churn rate. Strategies offer specification on how to adjust the marketing mix; firms can use tools such as marketing mix model to aid the resource allocation decision for various media and distribution of funds across a portfolio of brands.

Section 7.1What Is Marketing?
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of marketing, the relationship between marketing plan-
ning and overall organizational planning, basic marketing strategies, and approaches to orga-
nizing marketing activities in an HCO. This chapter also includes a discussion of the ethical
decision-making process in marketing and lays the groundwork for later chapters on the mar-
keting process and its role in HCOs.
7.1 What Is Marketing?
The marketing of HCOs is a relatively recent phenomenon. It was as late as 1977 that the
American Hospital Association held its first convocation on marketing. Much of the early mar-
keting efforts by hospitals were aimed toward the recruitment and retention of physicians.
Many physicians remained skeptical of marketing to patients and believed it was unprofes-
sional. However, as healthcare has become more complex and expensive, HCOs and individual
healthcare providers have seen the need to better communicate to patients the value of their
services (MacStravic, 1994).
Over the last two decades, the discussion of marketing in HCOs has evolved from whether
it was even appropriate for HCOs to use marketing to give the organization a competitive
advantage and “tell its story.” But what is meant by the term marketing?
Various definitions of marketing have evolved over the years, but one that appears to be fairly
complete is as follows: Marketing directs those activities that involve the creation and distribu-
tion of products and services to identified market segments. Several key words in this defini-
tion need further explanation. First, what is meant by the words marketing directs. This is a
managerial perspective rather than a residual perspective, which is concerned only with
what has to be done to get goods and services to customers. A managerial pers.

Shared Value Creation: Value chain redesign in companies of the sugar sectorjournal ijrtem
ABSTRACT : This article exposes the different arguments in favor of The Shared Value Creation (CVC) within an organization as an inclusive competitive strategy of the social, environmental and economic problems on its different interest groups; It is the redesign of its value chain for a more efficient and effective impact on productivity and business competitiveness.
A theoretical content and a practical perspective are elaborated to model the way to create shared value in an organization throughout a methodology implemented in a company in the sugar sector. The proposed model is made up of five stages: a) Description of the company, b) Strategic diagnosis, c) Executive proposal, d) Change management and f) Strategic decision.
The strategic decision stage includes a six-steps sub model oriented to develop and to redesign a segment of the entire value chain, where implementation begins with the segmentation of critical inputs, awareness suppliers through Value-Sharing, CSR and Sustainability. Subsequent phases consist of an approach to selected suppliers and the strategic breakdown by the company.

)THE MARKETING MIX
Marketing managers have used the term marketing mix for a long time. The concept of the marketing mix has gained universal acceptance. It is important for hospitality marketing students to understand this concept, both conceptually and strategically. This section outlines the major components of the traditional marketing mix, and the next section covers the hospitality marketing mix that was offered as an alternative for the industry. We will explain the similarities and differences between the two approaches. A successful hospitality organization is one that focuses on the needs and wants of the consumers and markets the product-service mix of the operation. Management of this type of operation involves integrating the components of the marketing mix into a marketing program that will appeal to potential consumers and meet the goals and objectives of the firm. The following sections will introduce the components of the marketing mix, which will be discussed in more detail in Chapters 7 to 14.
The Traditional Marketing Mix
The marketing mix, many believe, consists of four elements, often called the four P's of marketing:
THE MARKETING MIX 17
PRICE. The price component refers to the value placed by a firm on its products and services. Some of the decisions involve pricing the product line, discounting strategies, and positioning against competitors.
PRODUCT. This component refers to the unique combination of goods and services offered by a firm to consumers. The product includes both the tangible and intangible elements of the service offering. Product decisions involve product attributes such as quality, the breadth and mix of the product line (i.e., the number and type of products and services offered by a firm), and services such as warranties and guarantees.
PLACE. The place component refers to the manner in which the products and services are being delivered to consumers. This component is sometimes referred to as distribution, and it involves decisions related to the location of facilities and the use of intermediaries. In addition, the marketing of services includes the decision regarding customer involvement in the production process.
PROMOTION. This component refers to the methods used to communicate with consumer markets. The promotion mix includes advertising, personal selling, sales promotions (e.g., coupons, rebates, and contests), and publicity. These are the vehicles that can be used to communicate the firm's intended messages to consumers. The decisions for promotion involve the amount to be spent on each component of the promotion mix, the strategies for each of the components, and the overall message to be sent.
Price
Price refers to the value placed by a firm on its product.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Gone are the days of Marketing Mix. We need to replace it with a Marketing Matrix
1. REVIEW OF STRATEGIC MARKETING
SUSTAINABILITY: FROM A MARKETING MIX TO
A MARKETING MATRIX OF ALAN POMERING
BY MAXWELL RANASINGHE
2. • Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for
creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that
have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. (
American Marketing Association 2017)
• This calls for a responsibility to society at large, not just individual consumers. The
term “society at large” include many stakeholders, importantly the environment. It
includes all what is spoken in Green marketing and Societal Marketing
• It proposes a fundamental shift in marketing philosophy, and it is in line with
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility that advocates adding value not
only to shareholders but also for the employees, customers, collaborators and the
environment
3. • To achieve sustainability outcomes, new marketing models are needed, but the theoretical development
of marketing research on sustainability is considered to be in its infancy (Connelly, Ketchen & Slater
2011).
• In this pursuit, it is worth to make an attempt on reviewing what Alan Pomering ( 2014)
proposes
• Pomering’s Sustainability Marketing Model, is a simple yet systematic framework that
ensures sustainability cascades through the marketing planning process.
• In developing this model, the marketing mix is replaced with a matrix that adds four critical
decision fields to the traditional marketing mix
• He adds Participants, Physical Evidence, Process and Partnership - and draws on the
three pillars of sustainable development -Planet, People and Profit - to ensure managers
cross-check decision-making's sustainability impacts.
• The principle of sustainable development, that the future of the planet’s environment, communities
and their cultures not be compromised by actions in the present (World Commission on Environment
and Development 1987), has now served as a guide for business managers for more than two decades.
4. • Business managers currently have little guidance on how they might drive a sustainable
development agenda across their operational activities, they execute under the heading of the
Marketing Mix.
• Marketing should bear a societal obligation beyond the narrow consumer-orientation is
generally not reflected in its contemporary conceptual Frameworks
• Key concepts of value chain (Porter, 1985) was critiqued by Polonsky et al ( 2003) as “harm
chain” and Porter later in line with Polonsky’s critique, revised the his value chain concept to
reflect the simultaneous harm created along the value chain. ( Porter and Kramer 2006)
5. STRATEGIC ACTION AND SUSTAINABILITY
• It is clear from several recent managerial surveys that contemporary managers
are inadequately prepared to meet business’s challenge to adequately consider
the needs of society at large in their strategic and operational decisions.
• A McKinsey Global Survey (2010) of around 2000 executives
reports that despite its acknowledged importance, companies are not taking a
proactive approach to managing sustainability.
6. • The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has called for a more
sustainable level of consumption, but, apart from de-marketing and social marketing efforts to
highlight that marketing may yet have a broader role to play.
• Hult (2011) suggested marketing, ‘is in a unique position to elevate its focus from managing
relationships with customers to strategically managing a broader set of marketplace issues’.
• It demand managing relationship with not only customers but with other stakeholders in the
market place including the environment
7. • At present, marketing managers’ decision-making is typically framed around the traditional
concept of the marketing mix, which addresses the needs of individua consumers, but
provides little guidance on operating more sustainably, for the benefit of society at large.
• Philip Kotler (2011) argued, ‘marketing will have to reinvent its practices to be
environmentally responsible’ (p. 132).
• Pomering (2014) proposes the Sustainability Marketing Model, a simple yet systematic
framework that ensures sustainability cascades through the marketing planning process, to
address the call of Phillip Kotler
8. • Sustainability Marketing Model is a simple yet powerful model that provides the manager with a
comprehensive check-list for considering the sustainability implications of all supply- and demand-side
decision-making.
• It can ensure that sustainable development considerations are written into the strategic planning
process, ultimately cascading to operational decisions, such as pricing, product design, promotional
tools and messages, and distribution methods, and the various other mix elements for specific contexts,
such as services and experiences
• The Sustainability Marketing Model targets improving sustainability performance through reference to
Triple Bottom Line: Planet, People and Profit
9. • Bridges and Wilhelm (2008, p. 34) argued, ‘marketing education for sustainability requires a
consideration of environmental and social issues in all elements of marketing strategy planning, from
objective setting to target market selection to strategic and tactical decisions regarding each of the
marketing mix variables
• Pomerings(2014) proposed model addresses this requirement, expanding the notion of the marketing
mix, in terms of its relevance for sustainability, but also transforming the notion of a mere mix into a
matrix of decision-making.
10. • Strategic planning assists organisations by making them understand how they will compete in
the future.
• Through the strategic planning process, value is to be created: value for consumers, value for
the organisation, and, importantly, value for society at large (AMA 2007).
• The planning process occurs at a number of levels, starting with the vision and/or mission,
which articulates how the organisation sees its place in the future, its purpose and ‘what it
wants to accomplish in the larger environment’ (Kotler et al. 2007, p. 80)
11. • It is critical that sustainability is addressed at this primary level, as the mission, ‘acts as an “invisible
hand” that guides people in the organisation so they can work independently and yet collectively toward
overall organisational goals’ (Kotler et al. 2007, p. 80).
• Marketing strategy requires the, ‘planning and coordination of marketing resources and the integration
of the marketing mix to achieve a desired result’ (Kotler et al. 2007, p. 79).
• It is ultimately the marketing mix that produces value for individual consumers and society at large,
or alternatively, harm.
12. THE SUSTAINABILITY MARKETING MATRIX
• The marketing mix, a simple mnemonic device of four Ps (McCarthy 1960) broadly details the activities
the marketing manager needs to consider to achieve the organisation’s desired market offering: product,
price, promotion and place.
• They do not permit a company to adequately address sustainability’s challenge
• These challenges include:
• Altering the way things are done, that is, the way value (harm) is created;
• Clearly demonstrating to stakeholders the firm’s sustainability stance and values;
• Collaborating with other individuals and organisations to achieve sustainability-related synergies;
• Ensuring employees and customers are included and supportive of the drive toward greater sustainability.
13. FOUR MORE PS TO TRADITIONAL MIX
• Four more Ps are added to the traditional mix to address the
sustainability challenges processes, physical evidence, partnerships
and participants.
• These eight elements are cross referenced against the TBL’s planet, people
and profitability measurements to form the Sustainability Marketing
Matrix.
• Each of these additional ingredients needs to be effectively managed by the
marketing manager in the pursuit of sustainability outcomes
15. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MATRIX IS TO
RAISE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
Planet: How does our (marketing mix element) make optimal
use of environmental resources, maintain essential ecological
processes and help to conserve natural heritage and biodiversity?;
People: How does our (marketing mix element) demonstrate
respect for individuals and the socio-cultural authenticity of
communities?;
16. Profitability: How does our (marketing mix element)
ensure our viable, long-term economic operations, and
provide long-term socioeconomic benefits to all
stakeholders that are fairly distributed, including stable
employment and income-earning opportunities to
communities?
17. ADDING FOUR MORE P’S
• The inclusion of participants, physical evidence, process and partnership is recognition that
the traditional sense of the marketing mix, that is, that which is controllable by the
organisation, must be seen more comprehensively or on broader viewpoint to address the
sutainability
18. ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABILITY MATRIX AND ITS
EFFECT ON SUSTAINABILITY
Product
• Sustainable products are those products that provide environmental, social
and economic benefits while protecting public health and environment over
their whole life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials until the final disposal
Price
• A sustainable pricing strategy involves setting prices that cover a company's
social and environmental costs for each sale. It aims to contribute to the drive
for a sustainable economy, to reduce the impact on the planet and its people, thus
meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
19. • Place ( distribution)
• Sustainable distribution refers to any means of transportation / hauling of goods
between vendor and purchaser with lowest possible impact on the ecological and
social environment, and includes the whole distribution process from storage,
order processing and picking, packaging, improved vehicle loadings, delivery to
the customer or purchaser and taking back packaging
20. • Promotion
• Sustainable Promotion addresses the carbon footprint and other negative environmental and
social impacts associated with the production and distribution of advertising materials.
• A growing number of companies are making a commitment to the reduction of their
environmental impact associated with advertising production and distribution.
• Print advertising impacts the environment due to the carbon dioxide emitted into the
atmosphere as a result of the production and distribution of print media. Factors include the
sourcing and production of paper, petroleum-based ink, solvents, plastics and adhesives used
and the fossil fuels burned in the manufacturing and distribution of newspapers and magazines.
• Digital media has impacts due to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the
manufacturing and operation of servers and datacenter devices, networking devices and client
computers as well as the e-waste impacts of these devices at the end of their useful lives.
21. Process
• Process describes how the service is assembled, the ‘actual procedures,
mechanisms, and flow of activities by which the service is delivered – the
service delivery and operating systems’.
• How efficiently the processors are made to minimise the use of resources
and improve efficiency? E.g. Innovative process may use less electricity, may
provide better safety for works, better product for customers, emit less GHG
gases to the environment, pay more for suppliers, reduce waste or increase
the recyclability, improve profitability to shareholders
22. Physical evidence
• Physical evidence refers to the tangible clues that assist consumers’ evaluations of products.
• In service contexts, such evidence might include elements of the servicescape, including design and
furnishing, employee appearance and communications.
• Manufactured products might make use of evidence as product packaging and labelling information (
traditionally discussed under product)
• Green building may help to achieve sustainability matrix in different ways as to Planet, People and Profit
23. Partnership
• Partnership refers to the cooperative efforts of sustainability outcome-enabling individuals and
organisations in the realisation that one organisation cannot stand alone in the struggle to achieve
sustainable development
• Productive partnerships include employees and the organisation’s customers, captured under
participants, and other stakeholders and even competitor organisations.
• Partnerships with universities and research organisations
24. Participants
• Participants include ‘all human actors who play a part in service delivery and thus influence
the buyer’s perceptions: namely the firm’s personnel, the customer, and other customers in
the service environment’ (Zeithaml, et al. 2006, p. 26).
• Participants is preferred to People, the term commonly referred to in services marketing, as
it was the term originally used by Booms and Bitner (1981) and to avoid confusion with the
People of the triple bottom line, against which it must be cross-referenced.
25. RESPONSIBILITY OF EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS
IN SUSTAINABILITY
• For sustainability marketing, employees and customers are equally important.
• Employees should be committed to the sustainability initiatives, and be committed to continuous
sustainability performance improvement.
• Customers too can be included in continuous-improvement efforts and suggestion systems.
• Customers are not merely targeted to consume the outputs of the organisation in the general marketing
sense, but are also to be included in the co-production of sustainability achievements as much as
possible through, for example, product use, servicing and disposal, recycling and future product
purchase( intelligent consumption)
26. DISCUSSION
• The proposed Sustainability Marketing Model contributes to the ongoing marketing sustainability
conversation.
• The approach model is designed to deliver transparency, along with a comprehensive audit of
operational issues that might impact all sustainability outcomes, and reduce negative responses from
the critiques such as “ Green wash’
• Consumers and other stakeholders are now looking to organisations to pursue pro-social and pro-
environmental achievement.
27. • Sustainability offers organisations the opportunity for differentiation from competitors and
increase profits (Porter & Kramer (2002) (but it needs to be systematic, evidence-based and
transparent)
• Pomering has filled a gap by creating a model that is worth adopting
• Once it is used, one could evaluate how it works practically at the implementation level
• Future research should explore how simple but practical models could be developed to
assists organisations to embed sustainability in their strategic thinking and planning.
