Features: Technological drive is a key characteristic of the IT industry, and a tech-first mindset is also a common obsession among many IT professionals—until the early 1990s, Marketing remained somewhat mysterious, with specialized products dominating the market and the industry market holding the mainstream, leaving little room for Marketing to shine. As IT products unveiled their mysteries and the IT industry expanded into broader application areas, Marketing gained a vast stage to demonstrate its capabilities. Marking the turning point with Lenovo's multiple uses of pricing leverage to help domestic brands make a comeback in the PC market, Marketing's role in the operations and market competition of IT companies grew increasingly significant, and the planners and organizers standing behind—market managers—formed a notable "tribe." Focusing on the growth journey of market managers and analyzing classic Marketing cases in IT companies are the starting point and goal of Marketing X File. However, the author does not merely record; he hopes to trace the evolution of Marketing in the development of China's IT industry through vivid stories and calm analysis, providing valuable lessons in market operations for later generations. Can Mr. Guan's wish be realized? Only after reading the entire Marketing X File can the answer be found. This book includes: When "foreign guns" clash with "local cannons," multinational companies must adjust their localization strategies; when international manufacturers fiercely snatch market space, domestic companies adopt a pragmatic approach to respond; when the overall market faces a less-than-ideal situation, mainstream manufacturers seize opportunities to gain momentum; when existing market structures create gaps, emerging brands aim to overtake later.
