Research suggests that many organizations fail to deliver their planned brand experience because of insufficient internal marketing." Exhibit 15.4 shows internal marketing and external marketing programs as parallel outputs from the pi inning process. While external marketing positions the strategy in the customer marketplace, internal marketing is aimed at the internal customer within the company. Internal marketing goals may include: pro¬moting the external marketing strategy and how employees contribute, developing better understanding between customers and employees (regardless of whether they have direct contact), and providing superior internal customer service i" support external strategy.1-

Relationship Feature Nucor Corp.
In a Rust Belt industry, Nucor has nurtured one of the most dynamic and engaged work¬forces around. Nucor's flattened hierarchy and emphasis on pushing power to the front¬line leads its employees to adopt the mind-set of owner-operators. Company performano. in sales growth and profitability is outstanding.
Nucor Corporation's mission statement is: "Nucor Corporation is made up of 11,90(1 teammates whose go^l is to 'Take Care of Our Customers.' We are accomplishing this b being the safest, highest quality, lowest cost, most productive and most profitable steel and steel products company in the world. We are committed to doing this while being cultural and environmental stewards in our communities where we live and work. We are succeed¬ing by working together."
Nucor gained renown in the late 1980s for its radical pay practices, which base th. majority of most workers' income on their performance. Nucor's management style is base, on the belief that employees will make extraordinary efforts if you reward them richly, tre.. them with respect, and give them real power.
Nucor is an example of outstanding strategy execution. Managers have abandoned thi command-and-control model that has dominated American business for the better part < a century. They trust their people, and do a better job of sharing corporate wealth.
Nucor places a premium on teamwork and idea-sharing between frontline workers and management, to create a highly profitable partnership.
Key elements of the Nucor approach:
• Pay for performance—even with the risks of lower income in bad times.
• Listen to the front line—the best ideas come from the factory floor.
• Push authority down in the organization.
• Protect your culture—cultural compatibility is a big focus in acquisitions.
• Try unproven technologies—it is important to take risks.

Aii internal marketing approach involves examining each element of the external ma keting program to identity what changes will be needed in the company s internal in;: kelplace and how these changes can be achieved. If used as part of the planning proa- analysis of the internal marketplace can isolate organizational change requirements (c.: new skills, processes, organizational structures), implementation barriers (e.g.. lack ol'su: port and commitment in key areas of the company), and new opportunities (by uncoveriii..' organizational capabilities otherwise overlooked).1' Internal marketing is a promising w.i of identifying and resolving some of the implementation issues associated with the mo ? from functional to process-based organizational designs (Chapter 14). The importance f gaining the buy-in of all employees and managers to strategy is illustrated in the KI. I TIONSI IIP FEATURE. which describes the performance culture at steelmaker Nucor.
We examined market orientation as a key aspect of the m;irkct-drivcn company in Civ tcr 1. Interestingly, recent suggestions are that in addition to external market oriental! 11 of the conventional type, executives' attention should also be devoted to internal marl -i orientation - -aligning managerial behaviors with the employee behaviors and outeoivi • important to strategy implementation. The intention is to belter align external mar1 i objectives with internal capabilities.14
One developing aspect of internal marketing is the opportunity to actively market pI;; ? and strategies not only inside the company, but also with partner organizations and r employees. Effective implementation may rest also on company-wide and network-^i efforts to put marketing plans and strategies into effect.
