The foundations of Philips were laid in 1891 when Anton and Gerard Philips established Philips & Co. in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company begun manufacturing carbon-filament lamps and by the turn of the century, had become one of the largest producers in Europe. Stimulated by the industrial revolution in Europe, Philips first research laboratory started introducing its first innovations in the x-ray and radio technology.

In 1895, after the first difficult years and going nearly bankrupt, Gerard and his father brought in the 16-years younger brother Anton. Having earned an engineering degree, he started work as a sales representative, but soon contributed many important business ideas. After that, the family business began to expand rapidly, resulting in 1907 in the foundation of the N.V. Philips Metaalgloeilampfabriek (the Philips Lightwire-bulb Factory Inc) in Eindhoven, followed in 1912 by the foundation of the N.V. Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken.

To create the right marketing mix, businesses have to meet the following conditions: The product has to have the right features - for example, it must look good and work well. The price must be right. Consumer will need to buy in large numbers to produce a healthy profit. The goods must be in the right place at the right time. Making sure that the goods arrive when and where they are wanted is an important operation. The target group needs to be made aware of the existence and availability of the product through promotion. Successful promotion helps a firm to spread costs over a larger output.

5. What are the two most important elements within your Marketing Mix? Why?
All elements of marketing mix are important. Lack of attention to one of the 4Ps may cause failure on the market. In my Business Unit Consumer Marketing Managers (CMM) develop a product only after they have checked consumer needs. Moreover, CMM needs to remember to create product within a given price-cost range to meet consumer expectations. Price that is visible on the market is negotiated between Marketing Manager and Customer Marketing Manger in the relevant country. Promotion packaging and visuals are developed by CMM but localized locally (there is also possibility to develop some new marketing materials locally). Price-related promotion is agreed between country and Marketing Managers. As you see, none of 4Ps has a dominant position.
