What is Marketing Environment? Marketing Environment is the combination of external and internal factors and forces which affect the company’s ability to establish a relationship and serve its customers .
The marketing environment of a business consists of an internal and an external environment. The internal environment is company-specific and includes owners, workers, machines, materials etc. The external environment is further divided into two components: micro & macro. The micro or the task environment is also specific to the business but external. It consists of factors engaged in producing, distributing, and promoting the offering.
The macro or the broad environment includes larger societal forces which affect society as a whole. The broad environment is made up of six components: demographic, economic, physical, technological, political-legal, and social-cultural environment.
Components of Marketing Environment The marketing environment is made up of the internal and external environment of the business. While the internal environment can be controlled, the business has very less or no control over the external environment.
Internal Environment The internal environment of the business includes all the forces and factors inside the organization which affect its marketing operations. These components can be grouped under the Five Ms of the business, which are: Men Money Machinery Materials Markets
The internal environment is under the control of the marketer and can be changed with the changing external environment. Nevertheless, the internal marketing environment is as important for the business as the external marketing environment. This environment includes the sales department, marketing department, the manufacturing unit, the human resource department, etc.
External Environment The external environment constitutes factors and forces which are external to the business and on which the marketer has little or no control. The external environment is of two types:
Micro Environment The micro-component of the external environment is also known as the task environment. It comprises of external forces and factors that are directly related to the business. These include suppliers, market intermediaries, customers, partners, competitors and the public
Suppliers include all the parties which provide resources needed by the organization. Market intermediaries include parties involved in distributing the product or service of the organization. Partners are all the separate entities like advertising agencies, market research organizations, banking and insurance companies, transportation companies, brokers, etc. which conduct business with the organization.
Customers comprise of the target group of the organization. Competitors are the players in the same market who targets similar customers as that of the organization. Public is made up of any other group that has an actual or potential interest or affects the company’s ability to serve its customers.
Importance of Marketing Environment Every business, no matter how big or small, operates within the marketing environment. Its present and future existence, profits, image , and positioning depend on its internal and external environment. The business environment is one of the most dynamic aspects of the business. In order to operate and stay in the market for long, one has to understand and analyze the marketing environment and its components properly.
