There are several important updates to the software: The Customer Choice model has been enhanced to provide. Marketing for engineering firms usually consists of event sponsorships and face-to-face networking. Some engineering firms continue to look at print advertising as a primary vehicle for promoting their business. The Trajectory of a Print Ad In an advertisement, a headline, some body copy, and a visual come together. You submit it to a publication. It runs once or just a couple of times. Firms lack the ability to directly tie new business to the ad â the ROI is largely unknowable. The Trajectory of a Website A well-designed, high-performance website, on the other hand, offers far greater opportunity and flexibility. You can use various proven techniques to attract visitors to your site, generate leads, and nurture prospects. And all of this activity is trackable. If they embraced the revolution currently underway in professional services marketing, would they be better off? If you are on the fence, there are a number of good reasons to embrace the revolution. In the meantime, here are three reasons why a website continues to be the best investment for marketing for engineering firms: A good website can demonstrate your expertise and generate leads in a steady, reliable fashion. What you say online should be consistent with the message your people are delivering in the real world. No website, no matter how well done, will help you grow your business if it does not project a genuine and consistent value proposition. You can bet that any magazine you advertise in will end up in the trash. Your website, however, is always on and always working.

2 Chapter 2 : Power Tools for Marketing: Marketing Engineering â Institute for the Study of Business Marke Marketing engineering is currently definded as "a systematic approach to harness data and knowledge to drive effective marketing decision making an implementation through a technology-enabled and model-supported decision process". Traditional engineering utilizes knowledge and principles to design, build and analyze objects. Marketing engineering was coined to describe the process used by marketers to utilize knowledge-based data in decision-making. The marketing engineering process strives to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing by using information technologies. While this concept integrates in-depth and extensive analysis, the principles are fairly easy to grasp. Problem Solving Marketing engineering is an approach to solving marketing decision problems. Marketers are frequently faced with decisions regarding price, packaging and promotion. Questions such as will package A or package B produce the most sales and what will happen to sales and profit if the price is increased can be answered by using a marketing engineering approach. Marketing engineering shows the best path to solving the problem. Analytical Marketing engineering makes the leap from basic reporting and query tools to data analytics software. Analytics software makes it easy to discover multiple options that would be effective and drive key marketing objectives such as an increase in awareness and trial. However, if your business is like most, you want to select the most effective option. Rooted in business intelligence, marketing engineering uses an analytical approach to identify the best strategy and aid in decision-making. Information Technology Utilizing technology is the key to success with marketing engineering. Marketers are faced with an abundance of numbers and data. Marketing intelligence programs gather sales data, trend information, consumer purchase patterns, awareness and trial indicators, and data on marketing mix effectiveness, to name a few of the key indicators that are measured and charted by business intelligence programs. The marketing engineering process puts the information into a usable context and performs rigorous analysis. Computer-based modeling software provides the tools to make better marketing decisions and effective strategic plans. Those that use marketing engineering use the latest, cutting-edge software. Data-Based Decision-Making Marketing engineering removes opinions from decision-making. Decisions are based on knowledge. In the instance where one executive prefers package design A and another executive likes package design B, marketing engineering can provide the framework to make the decision. Emotional factors and the opinions of marketers, executives and stakeholders can be limited by presenting information gathered in marketing engineering. The data provides a common ground for sound decision-making. Page 2

The user-friendly and non-intimidating software tools and cases allow the user to focus on the decision-making process and its outcomes without having to deal directly with complex mathematical models. Framework[ edit ] The Market Engineering Framework takes into account the various aspects of market engineering. The Market Engineering Framework diagram depicts the building blocks that form the framework. The framework operates in the economic and legal environment in which it is situated. This effects the operations of all other portions of the framework. The transaction object represents the interface between market operators and the individual components of the market market microstructure, IT-infrastructure and the business infrastructure Weinhardt et al. Process[ edit ] The market engineering approach is structured by means of a process as depicted in Market Engineering Process diagram. Taking into account the objectives of the new electronic markets, the requirements of the new electronic market are deduced in the first stage. Subsequently, the new market is designed with simultaneous consideration of the transaction object, the market microstructure, the IT infrastructure, and the business model. In the third stage, the mechanism is tested on its technical, economic and business properties. If needed, there is an iteration loop between designing and evaluating the market in order to make sure that the requirements are met. In the fourth stage, the thoroughly evaluated design is realized and implemented as a software system. Finally, the market platform is introduced. At any stage of the market engineering process, there is a decision whether to proceed with the next step or to repeat an earlier one. Environmental analysis[ edit ] The objective of the environmental analysis is to formalize the strategies and objectives of a new electronic market. The stage comprises two phases: The goal of the environment definition is to characterize the economic environment for which the market is to be engineered. This phase comprises the collection and analysis of potential trading objects, market segments, and agents that may interact on a particular segment. On the basis of this analysis, potential market segments for trading these resources are identified and evaluated comparatively. Having selected a target market, information about potential agents is determined. The target market reveals the economic environment for which the market is intended. The requirement analysis consists of a thorough extraction of these needs concerning the resource allocation problem and the environmental side constraints. On the basis of the requirement analysis, the market engineer decides whether to engineer a new mechanism from scratch or to reuse and adapt an existing one for the target problem. This decision is usually supported by a literature review, surveys, a SWOT analysis, and interviews with future market participants. The output of stage 1 is a list with all requirements. Design[ edit ] The second stage of the process comprises the design of the market with simultaneous consideration of the transaction object, the market microstructure, the IT infrastructure, and the business model. Supported by different tools and methodologies such as mechanism and parametric design the market mechanism is deduced as an allocation and payment function. For designing the IT infrastructure in order to e. We provide different tools that assist the engineer in designing markets. For instance, the market engineer can rely on the generic market system meet2trade that supports different auction mechanisms and negotiation schemes Weinhardt et al. The result of stage 2 is a conceptual model of the market system to be evaluated and implemented. Evaluation[ edit ] Having designed the market, it is tested upon its technical and economic properties. The evaluation stage comprises functionality tests of a software prototype to ensure its correctness, economic tests to measure the outcome performance of the market, and an assessment of the business model. Functionality tests are made to ensure that the prototype system works as it is designed. In other words, these tests ensure that the system correctly reflects the institutional rules. The objective of the economic tests is to ascertain whether or not the electronic market attains the desired economic outcome. This phase is supported by analytical and experimental evaluation methods. Experimental methods consist of laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, or agent-based simulations. Tools for this kind of evaluation are e. After functional and economic tests are performed, additional pilot runs with the software prototype are made. Implementation[ edit ] In this stage, the thoroughly evaluated design is realized Page 3

4 and implemented as a software system. The market system can either be implemented from scratch or the prototype developed in the evaluation stage can be enhanced in an evolutionary process. This phase is supported by traditional software engineering concepts and tools, such as UML, design patterns, or the Rational Unified Process. The output of this phase is a fully implemented electronic market with the institutional rules and the business model. Introduction[ edit ] In the last stage of the process, the electronic market is introduced. The introduction of the electronic market initiates its operation cycle. Computer-aided market engineering[ edit ] The Computer-Aided Market Engineering CAME tool suite meet2trade showcases a service engineering approach to the development of electronic markets as a service offering Weinhardt et al. For e-markets, the market operatorâ as service provider decides the following prerequisites that characterize the complex service: The CAME tool suite provides a conceptual framework for designing e-markets, a process model to guide the design, and methods and tools supporting these design steps. These tasks are inherently interdisciplinary. The strategic task of defining the segment, in which the e-market is intended to operate, is primarily a management and marketing endeavor. The design of the market mechanisms that describe the flow of the negotiation process, pertains to economics. Implementing the market mechanisms as a running service system is mainly a software engineering task. The CAME approach extends state-of-the-art methods, as it tackles all problems associated with the design of e-markets holistically. Auction Runtime Environment ARTE and Adaptive Client AC support the transformation of the concept into an instantiation of a running auction format, supporting embodiment and detail design. Prototypes can be generated and tested on-the-fly, improving the design process considerably. This research work focuses on how to design and operate market services, how to gain knowledge for this task, and how to provide this knowledge to those who need to set up auctions, exchanges, or e-procurement platforms. CAME epitomizes an SSME approach and meet2trade workbench showcases an integrated outcome of service sciences, management, and engineering. Literature[ edit ] Kolitz, K.
