Marketing effectiveness is a theory formulated by Tim Ambler that encourages a company’s focus on the tactics of marketing their products rather than the sales that such a campaign is bound to achieve. This method can be achieved through three tactics involving personalization, continuity and individualization. The effectiveness of these tactics are dependent on the customers, the demographical and gender differences. Many businesses are sales minded, but this is mainly for stability in the short run. Market effectiveness techniques, on the other hand, have been employed by the companies interested in the long run stability.
In outsourcing, many businesses that have not embraced the emergence of a disruptive member to the same line of production do engage in the activities that occasion losses in the long run. This is mainly caused by companies not accepting the competition posed by new entrants, and as such employs methods like slashing down their prices. Any company should always be prepared for future problems and as such should embrace competition and produce even better quality products as it will only have to upgrade its systems. Its financial base will also allow researching of the market instead of reverting to dubious methods in containing the competition.
Wise allocation of resources; some companies use most of their capital on some of the services that they do not require for their core existence. The same might be informed by the construction of many cubicles or semi-partitioned offices and personal offices rather than the open floor offices. The companies might employ a lot of man power rather than use the current technology that is cheaper. The more the employees the more the amount that will be used for their welfare in terms of health, travel, training, motivation and other forms of insurances. These are some of the resources that could directly be used in improving the amount of production by bringing in more raw materials and upgrading the machines. The company may also invest in the wrong type of commodities imagining that the market shall consume the same. A large investment in such ideas based on the assumptions of the customers wants and not what they need can lead to serious losses by the businesses. The concept can be further explained by the good and bad capital, where the good capital has positive results to the business while the bad capital causes a financial constraint to the company.
Disruptive innovation; this is a process whereby an existing business that had an impact on the market and then gradually started making losses, sells its current production at a lower price. Subsequently, it works on the “underground.” The company then works on better ideas to improve the product before it jumps back to the market and almost edges out the competitors in that field. It can also refer to a small company working on ignored business ideas before it emerges on the larger market and almost edges out the main competitors in that line of production. This method hence aims at creating a disturbance on both the existing market and the existing network value by creating new ones. Every company should be able to do a thesis on what causes such kind of innovations.
Sustaining innovation is aimed at maintain the existing market and its network value. The method is achieved by the involved firms improving their line of production. This is achieved by improving their technology, organizational plans, and their marketing techniques. It ensures that the competition is mainly based on the improvements, and the fact that new entrants have no chance of disrupting the market plans. The same is mainly achieved in the pure non-monopolistic markets.

\s The location of a business is critical for its eventual success or failure. The same relates to the raw materials, the market, the warehouses or the laborers. A business that has its raw materials based far away from its location has a tendency to use more revenues in transporting them to their base. This is the same case during distribution for the sparsely distributed market as the products will have to be transported to the warehouses before they are dispatched to the last retailers. If the laborers are far from the company, absenteeism and lateness will be frequent. This is one factor that could be reverted by the location being considerate of its manpower locations.
The theory of the invisible by Adam Smith states that people will always dictate their own paths to prosperity even if the objectives of the business are not in accordance to the same. It helps echo the principle of not over-concentrating on the messenger but rather taking the message principle. This means that the leader’s message and actions should be implemented. The rules that govern the organization can change during the organizational change or take over but the laid down rules should have actions and convictions if not followed by the employed.
