Exam case KONE: The MonoSpace
Indledning
KONE - The world’s third largest elevator company, after Otis and Schindler Sales
1995 KONE’s revenue: $2.2 B (38% from V1, 62% from V2 (78% maintenance, 22% for modernization)
1. What would be the critical factors of success in the German market?

2. What should be KONE’s value proposition?

3. What can be learned from the test market and launches in the other three countries? How does the German market (and KONE’s position in and approach to it) differ from the other markets?
Selvet begrebet test market og derefter lancering af Monospace i landene Holland, Frankrig og England, er med til at bidrage til forståelse omkring produktet på tværs af nogle forskellige markeder, og se hvordan hvert land har taget imod MonoSpace, og hvilke pointer, der er godt at tage til sig, både gode og dårlige. Disse informationer, indblik og sammenligning kan tages med, når KONE skal positionere og prisfører sig på det tyske markedet.

In the latest, MonoSpace was a complete success. It gave higher profits and 62% of the low-raise market (up from 52%). But in France only 40 units were sold of the 300 expected and in U.K. no units were sold during the first month after launch
Test Markets & the German Difference
The Netherlands: 100 presentations, 12 articles per month (40 – 60 inquires) Result: 70% target within 10 months, 62% of low-rise market share France: 22,000 letter ( TV Promo), 20 Breakfast meetings, On-site visits Result: 300 Units sold (70% of annual residential sales) United Kingdom: 3 presentations, 220 accepted “ tech leader” Result: No units sold after 1 month

Inden KONE tiltrækker kunderne, vil det være en god at starte med at få installeret en MonoSpace elevator i ens egne bygning, hvor de tyske kunder kan få muligheden for at komme ind og se produktet med egne dette. Det var nemlig et problem KONE fik med de hollandske kunder, som efterspurgte en installeret MonoSpace.
Med MonoSpace kunne man spare en masse

    KONE is an elevator company with a new and innovative product to entering the market. This company is faced with the problem of what they want to charge and how they are going to position this newest product without cannibalizing their existing product lines. Another problem the company faces is how and to whom they should market this new elevator application. The company can rule out marketing to the high rise gearless traction market because their technology doesn?¦t apply to this market, as of now. Although they are not able to market to this group the benefits of gearless traction can be used in comparison to the geared and hydraulic elevator systems. One problem that was learned from the preliminary markets was that customers worried that KONE would be able to price gauge them since they were the only ones with this sort of technology.…

    Consumer Is Rational

    In dit theoretisch stuk begin ik met wat volgens mij (critici) marketing precies inhoudt, marketing creeert een vraag en behoefte bij de consument naar goederen en diensten die zij niet nodig hebben of wel kunnen missen. Onder needs versta ik de behoefte die je nodig hebt om te overleven bv onderdak, water , kleding etc. Want zij de goederen die een consument specifiek wil hebben bijvoorbeeld cola boven water en onder demands versta ik een luxe goed zoals champagne.sigmund freud zegt dat een persoon zijn of haar motivaties niet zelf kan bepalen. Wanneer een persoon een merk beoordeeld dan kijkt deze persoon niet alleen naar de mogelijkheden maar ook naar de ander minder belangrijke dingen zoals , hoe het product er precies uit ziet en gewicht van het product. Dit kan leiden tot het kopen van produkten die de mensen zelf helemaal niet nodig hebben en of het uitgeven van geld aan goederen die helemaal niet van belang zijn. De needs van een persoon kunnen ook sterk beinvloed worden door de omgeving waarin ze wonen, want als een vriend van je met een bepaald produkt rond loopt en je vindt het produkt goed dan ben je snel geneigd om deze ook aanteschaffen. Mensen zijn niet rationeel , zij…
