Q2. Discuss the activities taken up by the company for developing and implementing channel
strategy.
Ans-->A marketing plan is a written document that details the necessary actions to achieve
one or more marketing objectives. It can be for a product or Service (economics)|service, a
brand, or a product line. Marketing plans cover between one and five years.
A marketing plan may be part of an overall business plan. Solid marketing strategy is the
foundation of a well-written marketing plan. While a marketing plan contains a list of actions, a
marketing plan without a sound strategic foundation is of little use.
The marketing planning process: In most organizations, "strategic planning" is an annual
process, typically covering just the year ahead. Occasionally, a few organizations may look at
a practical plan which stretches three or more years ahead.
To be most effective, the plan has to be formalized, usually in written form, as a formal
"marketing plan." The essence of the process is that it moves from the general to the specific;
from the overall objectives of the organization down to the individual Objective (goal)|action
plan for a part of one marketing program. It is also an interactive process, so that the draft
output of each stage is checked to see what impact it has on the earlier stages - and is
amended.
Q4. Explain what are the trends and keys for customer retention process.
The number one strategy to improve customer retention is…
Finding new and unique ways to create a partnership with customers. People will care when
they share. Help customers put skin in the game by:
• Involving them in the design and delivery of service
• Soliciting their ideas and suggestions
• Begging for feedback on ways to improve their experience
• Create forums for customer participation (like boards of customers, customer
advisory teams, VOC initiatives)
• Spend time with customers on their turf or neutral turf (like Harley’s HOG—Harley
Owners Group)
• Crafting chat rooms aimed at beta testing, experimenting, piloting products and
services with customers.
• Invite customers to company functions—picnics, meetings, social outings, etc.
Equipped with state-of-the-art order generation tools, your sales executive can add new
orders even while they are out on the field. Kapture reduces the time taken to complete a
customer’s order with fewer back-and-forth between the executives and managers.
When problems find solutions on their own!: Kapture can automatically assign an order to the
relevant employee, letting managers easily approve each of them with a single tap. Improve
data exchange between your teams so that your leads can be quickly converted into
customers.
Order Details and Status:
Data warehousing can be defined as particular area of comfort wherein subject oriented,
non-volatile collection of data is done as to support the management’s process.
It senses the limited data within the multiple data resources.It has built-in data
resources that are modulated upon the data transaction.
Characteristics of Data Warehouse:
Data warehouse can be modulated when the people has a common way of
explaining new things that are emerged as particular subject. Here are some of
the few characteristics of data warehousing.
Subject oriented:
A deep understanding will help in developing sales procedures that are defined
within the bounds. It deals with all the subject matters that have warehouse.
Time variant:
It discovers different time limits that are modulated within the large amounts of
data and are held in online transaction processing.It is meant by time variant
when the data is set into the causes of the support of staging files.It normally
proceeds with the majority of data that is handled by large tables containing
updated facts.
Non volatile:It encompasses the high quantity of data that enters into change
within the selected quantity on logical business. It enumerates the analysis in
the warehouse technologies.Non volatility will make people understand what
has occurred. It makes a clear sense of analysis that is done.
Integrated:
• Data consolidations
• Data cleaning
• Data integration
• Banking services
• Financial services
• Retail sectors
• Consumer goods
• Controlled manufacturing
28. Explain multi-dimensional data model
The multidimensional data model is an integral part of On-Line Analytical Processing,
or OLAP. Because OLAP is on-line, it must provide answers quickly; analysts pose
iterative queries during interactive sessions, not in batch jobs that run overnight. And
because OLAP is also analytic, the queries are complex. The multidimensional data
model is designed to solve complex queries in real time.
The multidimensional data model is important because it enforces simplicity.
As Ralph Kimball states in his landmark book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit:
"The central attraction of the dimensional model of a business is its
simplicity.... that simplicity is the fundamental key that allows users to
understand databases, and allows software to navigate databases efficiently."
The multidimensional data model is composed of logical cubes, measures,
dimensions, hierarchies, levels, and attributes. The simplicity of the model is
inherent because it defines objects that represent real-world business entities.
Analysts know which business measures they are interested in examining,
which dimensions and attributes make the data meaningful, and how the
dimensions of their business are organized into levels and hierarchies.
Figure 2-1 shows the relationships among the logical objects.
Q28.Discuss about data mining issues.
Data mining is not that easy. The algorithm used are very complex. The data is not
available at one place it needs to be integrated form the various heterogeneous data
sources. These factors also creates some issues. Here in this tutorial we will discuss the
major issues regarding:
Performance Issues
It refers to the following issues:
• Efficiency and scalability of data mining algorithms. - In order to effectively
extract the information from huge amount of data in databases, data mining algorithm
must be efficient and scalable.
• Parallel, distributed, and incremental mining algorithms. - The factors such
as huge size of databases, wide distribution of data,and complexity of data mining
methods motivate the development of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms.
These algorithm divide the data into partitions which is further processed parallel.
Then the results from the partitions is merged. The incremental algorithms, updates
databases without having mine the data again from scratch.
Diverse Data Types Issues
• Handling of relational and complex types of data. - The database may
contain complex data objects, multimedia data objects, spatial data, temporal data etc.
It is not possible for one system to mine all these kind of data.
• Mining information from heterogeneous databases and global information
systems. - The data is available at different data sources on LAN or WAN. These data
source may be structured, semi structured or unstructured. Therefore mining
knowledge from them adds challenges to data mining.
Rule Extraction
Here we will learn how to build a rule-based classifier by extracting IF-
THEN rules from a decision tree.
To extract a rule from a decision tree −
One rule is created for each path from the root to the leaf node.
To form a rule antecedent, each splitting criterion is logically ANDed.
The leaf node holds the class prediction, forming the rule consequent.
Rule Pruning
The rule is pruned is due to the following reason −
The Assessment of quality is made on the original set of training data.
The rule may perform well on training data but less well on subsequent
data. That's why the rule pruning is required.
The rule is pruned by removing conjunct. The rule R is pruned, if
pruned version of R has greater quality than what was assessed on an
independent set of tuples.
FOIL is one of the simple and effective method for rule pruning. For a given
rule R,
FOIL_Prune = pos - neg / pos + neg
where pos and neg is the number of positive tuples covered by R,
respectively.
Note − This value will increase with the accuracy of R on the pruning set.
Hence, if the FOIL_Prune value is higher for the pruned version of R, then
we prune R.
