Die Marketingdisziplin hat seit jeher den Anspruch, eine ¿anwendungsorientierte¿ Wissenschaft zu sein. Diese Studie stellt den ersten Beitrag dar, der die deutschsprachige Marketingtheorie danach untersucht, inwieweit sie praxisrelevantes Wissen enthält. Sie hat außerdem erstmalig die praktische Anwendung dieses Wissens am Beispiel der Dortmunder Brauindustrie zwischen 1950 und 1990 überprüft. Fazit der Studie: Die Marketingtheorie hat sich von einer ¿verstehenden¿ zu einer ¿operationalen¿ Theorie und einer praktisch-normativen Managementlehre entwickelt. Ihre handlungsorientierten Aussagen können das Management in den Unternehmen bei seinen marketingpolitischen Entscheidungen ganz wesentlich unterstützen. In der empirischen Untersuchung konnte belegt werden, dass viele handlungsrelevante Erkenntnisse der Marketingdisziplin in der Dortmunder Brauindustrie angewendet worden sind bis hin zu strategischen Konzepten. Unternehmensberater, Werbeagenturen und Marktforschungsinstitute waren dabei wichtige ¿Transformatoren¿.

Dieses Buch sensibilisiert für die konkreten Anforderungen, die mit der DSGVO verbunden sind. Es stellt Hinweise bereit, die helfen sollen, grobe Fehler zu verhindern, aber auch aufzeigen, wie durch ein aktives Management Wettbewerbsvorteile durch Datenschutz erreicht werden können. Die Autoren zielen darauf ab, erstens in knapper und eingängiger Form Transparenz zu den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen durch die DSGVO allgemein und speziell in Bezug auf Aktivitäten in Marketing und Vertrieb zu schaffen. Im Hauptteil wird zweitens anhand von ausgewählten Marketing- und Vertriebsaktivitäten aufgezeigt, an welchen Stellen Datenschutzbestimmungen (als limitierender Faktor) wirken und welche Maßnahmen erforderlich sind, um das volle Marketingpotenzial im Kundenkontakt ausschöpfen zu können. Betrachtet werden Marketingaktivitäten, die für Unternehmen zum einen wichtig sind (z. B. unmittelbares Umsatzpotenzial) oder eine direkte Schnittstelle zum Kunden bilden und zum anderen Bereiche, in denen derzeit starke Unsicherheiten bei den Entscheidern in Hinblick auf datenschutzrechtliche Belange bestehen. Diese betreffen die Erfassung, Speicherung und Nutzung von personenbezogenen Daten. Abschließend wird drittens aufgezeigt, wie sich das Thema Datenschutz aus der Rolle eines limitierenden Faktors zu einem Erfolgsfaktor für das Marketing umgestalten lässt. Dazu bieten Checklisten eine komprimierte Orientierungshilfe im operativen Bereich.

Dieses Buch ist ein praxisorientierter Leitfaden für ein modernes Key Account Management im B2B-Vertrieb. Die besonders intensive Betreuung von Schlüsselkunden hat sich in der Praxis vieler Unternehmen als zentrales Vertriebselement bewährt, da sie durch eine klare Kundenfokussierung mittel- bis langfristig hohe Erträge generiert und effiziente Verkaufsprozesse ermöglicht. Dennoch ist ein Umdenken erforderlich, da sich die Rahmenbedingungen im Sales-Umfeld in den letzten Jahren völlig verändert haben. Dabei gilt es, nicht nur die strategischen Aspekte zu berücksichtigen, sondern auch im taktischen Vertrieb einen zeitgemäßen Key-Account-Ansatz erfolgreich umzusetzen. Oliver Büchel ¿ ausgewiesener Experte mit langjähriger Praxiserfahrung im Key Account Management von Topunternehmen ¿ zeigt in diesem Buch, wie das geht. Er verbindet bewährte Methoden mit neuen und innovativen Ansätzen, sei es bei der Weiterentwicklung bestehender Key Accounts oder bei der Gewinnungneuer Kunden mit hohem wirtschaftlichem und strategischem Wert. Ein Praxisbuch für Führungskräfte und alle, die im Vertrieb tätig sind ¿ auch wenn die Berufsbezeichnung KAM (noch) nicht auf der Visitenkarte steht.
