As Tutis group offers innovative training services to its clients, therefore, the buyer power is moderate for this company. However, in certain cases, the consumers become demanding, as there are various training industries in Australia, which provide potential training services in cheap price.

The sponsors can be considered as efficient suppliers of Tutis group. As Tutis group enjoys a moderate, numbers of sponsors, therefore, the demanding power of the suppliers are low (Tutis.com.au 2016).

As the training industry of Australia is constantly growing, therefore, there are a vast scope and possibilities for the new training organisation.

The factors that will determine the success of the change management training involve its creativity and different type of providing training to the employees of various organisations. The change management training appropriately use the modern technology, which will help to bring success after its launch in the Australian training industry. The entire management is approachable and maintains a good customer relationship with the clients. Tutis group enjoys a stable financial condition, which will help the newly launched training services to gain success in short period.

Chowhan (2016) has stated that the market segmentation involves a proper marketing strategy that suggests a division of a vast target market.       The change management training of Tutis group targets the employees of every Australian organisation, which undergo a complete transformation within the organisation in its internal structure and the process of business operation in the training industry of Australia. According to Calabretta et al. (2016), market segmentation and targeting customers include the common requirements, priorities and interests on particular services. The change management training of Tutis group will compete in various cities of Australia, however, it has plan of business expansion with offering this training services to the international clients with effective use of modern technology. Both male and female employees aged in between 25-45 are the targeted customers with minimum post graduation degree on their particular subject from every economical and occupational background. Those employees, who possess positive attitude towards the change management, are the targeted customer of the change management training of Tutis group. The behavioural traits of the target market of change management training engage those customers, who are once a year buyer of various training service of Tutis group.

Competitive rivalry

According to Wardle et al. (2012), competitor analysis helps to determine the basic strengths and weaknesses of the existing potential competitors of the particular industry for identifying top competition. Similarly, Tutis group thoroughly analyses the potential challenges from the competitor companies like Learn quest, Global knowledge and GP strategies. Tran and Nyland (2013) have mentioned that broader level of competition actually helps to suggest creative services in order to attract the new customers and retain the existing one. The business experts of Tutis group has thoroughly understand the profile such as its services, condition of the finance and company background of the competitor companies in the training industry of Australia. Even the marketers have a good conversation with the suppliers of the services of the competitor companies in order to have a basic knowledge and view about the training programmes. Sohal (2013) has stated that only after making a thorough market and competitor analysis, an organisation create potential strategies in order to compete on the same industry with its competitor companies.

As opined by Agrawal (2013), customer analysis involves a critical portion of an effective marketing plan and it specifies and ascertains that the offered services are potential enough to satisfy the requirements of the customers. Tutis group follows the B2B marketing as it involves the services of an organisation in order to resale in a manner of wholesaler, which sells services to a retailer. The change management training of Tutis group has been made for the employees of organisation, who prefers professional development for further success in their career. Pépin and King (2013) have reflected the fact that there is value chain process followed in business-to-business marketing. The geographical market of Tutis group demands for innovative training programmes for personal and professional development. Mainly the organisation, who are the clients of these training services arranges tender of various companies and selects only the cheap and effective training services. The population of Australia increases in gradual manner and the training industry in this country can be considered as an emerging industry, which has a vast scope and possibilities to grow in near future. As Tutis group effectively meet and satisfies the requirements of other business organisation of Australia with providug adequate and suitable training services to their employees for better performance, therefore it serves the policies of B2B marketing. At the end of this continuing annual year, Tutis group can expect minimum 46% market share from the training industry of Australia. However, the management should make effective strategies in order to cope up with the changing demands and criteria of the customers for retaining the present position in the training industry. Tutis group should use modern technologies in order to offer online training for saving the time of employees. The overall objectives of Tutis group are following:

  • To increase the morals and job satisfaction of the employees
  • To enhances the process of innovation to create more management training

Buyer power

Tutis group takes help of the business experts in order to suggest innovative new management training services for perfect sales revenue at the end of the annual year. Tutis group should improve the fundamental quality of the change management training in order to meet the established objectives. Even the management of Tutis group should engage the quality controller of the management training. According to Lancaster et al. (2013), it is important for an organisation to improve own existing strategies in order to compete with the existing competitor companies in the particular industry.

Tran (2013) has mentioned that building a strong and stable brand name help to advertise in addition, promotes newly launched services in order to attract the potential customers. However, there are also complete different and contradictory statement have been established in certain cases. Jackson and Chapman (2012) have argued that the process brand marketing does not possess that capability to build and create a strong brand name. The quality and service of the change management training of Tutis group actually reflects the policies of serving its clients in appropriate manner. In today’s competitive business world, the training industry of Australia is emerging in constant manner and Tutis group holds a stable position in this specific industry (Tutis.com.au 2016).

The service:

The key feature and objectives of some product or services provide vast information in order to help the consumer while purchasing it (Brown 2012). The feature and objectives of the change management training of Tutis group are following:

  • It includes new technology for attracting the new generation of Australia.
  • The change management training of Tutis group involve a systematic approach, which develops completely new role and responsibilities of the employees.
  • Change management training will provide a long-term commitment to the organisation, where, the particular employee is associated.
  • Change management training also encourage the sense of ownership and influence the employees to perform their assigned tasks within the transformed environment of the organisation.

Jackson (2013) has mentioned that the augmented product suggests the non-physical portion of a product or services offered by the organisation. The benefit of some services can be considered as augmented product or services. The augmented service of the change management training of Tutis group involves its wining power of the intellectual and emotional support of the employees.

As opined by Jackson and Chapman (2012), the classification of the service involves different features such as the tangibility factors, market segments and the basic skills of the provider of the specific services. The classification of the change management training of Tutis group engage pure services, which suggests active performance that is not included as tangible product. It also involves non-good services, as it requires fee for providing professional services to the employees. Another classification of the change management raining suggests its owned-good services as it improves the professional skill of the employees for better performance within the organisation.

Supplier power

According to Lancaster et al. (2013), any kind of special, relevant and interesting attributes of the offered products and services make the product or services more attractive and it can help the company to capture a perfect position in the market. The relevant attributes of the change management training of Tutis group involve modern technologies and often provide online training to the employees. The faculty of Tutis group has more than ten years of experience in the training industry of Australia and obviously, it is an important aspect to continue its business operation in the competitive training industry of Australia. There are various famous new training organisations in Australia, which provide effective training services to its clients at very cheap price; however, they lack the training experiences that Tutis group possess.

Tran (2013) has mentioned that the process of product or service branding play an important role both for the famous organisation or small business. As Tutis group is going to launch a completely new service of change management training for the employees of Australian organisation in order to enhance their professional skills for performing better within organisation. As opined by Brown (2012), product branding is essential for business operation of a company as it helps to recognise the close interlink in between the strong branding policies and successful business for aspiring and building a brand, which emulates a perfect level of success in near future. Similarly, the management of Tutis group have clearly understood that the concept of service branding of their newly launched change management training will not just suggest a logo or motto of the company, however, it reveals the external perception of the entire business operation. Jackson and Chapman (2012) have determined that the business experts should define the character of the products or services in order to analyse its concerns and requirements for the targeted and segmented consumers. The management of Tutis group has aimed to create a long-term and stable relationship with the clients with maintaining proper service branding policies and procedures. Even the management interacts with the existing employees in order to know the gaps and flaws of the change management training and what are the areas that needed to be improved for providing better quality services to the clients. However, there are no labelling or packaging decisions, as it is a service and not product.

Lancaster et al. (2013) have suggested that branding strategy involves a long-term plan in order to improve a successful brand for achieving an established and fixed objective. The branding strategy should be done according to the maintenance of the unique promises, reputation of the company and its brand value of Tutis group Australia. Tutis group is famous in the training industry of Australia as it successfully operates its business, therefore, the brand position of this particular company should be interesting and different from the existing companies in the training industry of Australia. The branding position of change management training involves sustainability and helpfulness for attaining future goals with potential and trained employees, who can cope up with the changes of the organisation. The management of Tutis group has provided a name to the newly launched training services as change management training. As opined by Tran (2013), in order to launch and start a completely new service, an organisation always requires proper and relevant licence. Similarly, Tutis group has to enrol for the license in order to continue their newly launched training service in the training industry of Australia. The marketers will thoroughly research the competitor companies’ position in the same industry and their offered courses for enhancing the quality of the change management training of Tutis group. The business experts suggest offering an initial free training course of 3 days for the interested employees of Australian organisation in order to test the market of the offered service.

Threat of new entrants

The price of the change management training of Tutis group in ranged in between AU$495.23-AU$596.14 and this amount is changeable according to the session of the training process. Tutis group expects minimum 64% return in the market share as the service quality is excellent. The pricing strategy helps an organisation to decide appropriate price for the offered services (Lancaster et al. 2013).
