This chapter considers some of the elements that have strategic significance, namely segmentation, positioning and pricing. Segmentation is presented as a less than perfect form of marketing management, as consideration is given to some of the problems associated with choosing between segments and implementing the whole segmentation, targeting and positioning process successfully. In particular, the barriers to segmentation are examined. The following section examines how businesses should determine particular positioning strategies. Just as optimal target markets should be derived in the light of customer needs and seller resources and strategies, so positioning needs to take into account the requirements of all parties to a marketing relationship. The chapter concludes with a consideration of pricing issues in business markets.

Polyethylene is one of the most important plastics produced today because of its good physical properties, ease of fabrication and low cost. Studies to improve the properties of polyethylene are leading to an understanding of its crystalline morphology. Polyethylene crystallized by evaporation from dilute solutions consists of thin crystals called lamellae. The polyethylene molecules are parallel to the thickness of the lamellae and are folded since the thickness of the lamellae is much less than the molecular length. This lamellar texture persists in less perfect form in polyethylene crystallized from the melt.Morphological studies of melt crystallized polyethylene have been limited due to the difficulty of isolating the microstructure from the bulk specimen without destroying or deforming it.
