MARKETING TACTICS
Tactics = specific operating plans that detail how a strategy is to be implemented in terms of when and where it is to be put into action. Timing Tactics Historically a first mover supported by being a first mover in technology. They specialize in routers, switches, wireless, security, optical networking, etc. Cisco is also considered a industry leader.
MARKETING TACTICS
Market Location Tactics: Defensive Cisco takes the path of raising structural barriers. They do this to block challengers logical avenues of attack. Some factors of Porters they use are: Offering a full line of products in every profitable market segment to close off any entry points. Keep their items reasonably priced for their most popular products and services.
MARKETING PROBLEMS
The dominance in network switches that Cisco holds is waning. Hewlett-Packard has been particularly aggressive in the switching market since they have entered. Ciscos video-conferencing system for living rooms has been a strange product to market. There is little market for such a product when consumers can video chat for free over the internet instead of paying $600 for the equipment and a $25 a month service fee.
