Relationship Marketing
The role of relationship marketing
is to identify and establish, maintain and enhance and where necessary also to terminate relationships with customers and other stakeholders, at a profit, so that the objectives of all parties are met, and that this is done by a mutual exchange and fulfilment of promises.

interaction
Networks
“A network is a living system with pattern, structure and process; it continually produces itself, exhibits intelligence, is open to the flow of energy and matter.”
“A network organisation is a confederation of specialist skills or capabilities provided by the network members. The firm is an element in a network that competes through the way it leverages the resources and capabilities of its individual members.”
value network
“A value network is any web of
relationships that generates tangible and intangible value
through complex dynamic exchanges between two or more individuals, groups or organisations.”
The value chain becomes a value web: “Sustainable advantage lies in managing the complex web of relationships [...] in a cost-effective, value-adding way; the network of alliances and suppliers should be welded together in
partnership to achieve mutually beneficial goals
. Differentiation comes from the quality of relationships that one business enjoys compared to its competitors”
“In a
successful value network
,
every participant contributes and receives value
in ways that sustain both their own success and the success of the value network as a whole. When this is not true, participants either withdraw or are expelled, or the overall system becomes unstable and may collapse or reconfigure. Successful value networks
require trusting relationships and a high level of integrity and transparency on the part of all participants
.”
A Service-Dominant Logic
“Marketing has shifted much of its dominant logic away from the exchange of tangible goods (manufactured things) and toward the exchange of intangibles, specialized skills and knowledge, and processes (doing things for and with), which we believe points marketing toward a more comprehensive and inclusive dominant logic, one that integrates goods with services and provides a richer foundation for the development of marketing thought and practice.”
Goods-focused vs. Service-focused Firms
Goods-focused firms
focus on products and outputs, and on selling products (outputs from the firm’s processes).
Service-focused firms
focus on customer relationships and processes, and on selling solutions that solve customers’ everyday problems as inputs to the customers’ processes.

Being good is good business
