Biggest disadvantage is oversegmentation - the the segment is simply too small to be addressed economically or meaningfully. The benefits of relevance and cost efficiency of segmentation usually outweigh any drawbacks.
segmentation is a creative prcess. marketers normally segment markets by combining several segmentation variables rather than relaying on a single segmentation base. THERE ARE 4 METHODS OF HYBRID SEGMENTATION * Value and Life Style (VALS) * psychographic-demographic segmentation * geo-demographic segmentation * yankelovich's mind base segmentation
gender segmentation, age segmentation, geographic segmentation..
segmentation, differentiation, positioning
Segmentation allows for specialization in body parts. CHEESE.
The Intel Pentium supports pure segmentation and segmentation with paging. The processor creates logical addresses, which are mapped to physical addresses by the segmentation unit. Those addresses may point to physical addresses within memory or paged swap space.

what is the advanteges and dis advanteges of market segmentation?
Paging Paging works by dividing memory into small pieces of memory (frames) and then logically divides the program into same-size pieces (pages). Paging Advantages Easy to allocated from free list of frames -Physical memory is allocated from free list of frames -External Fragmentation is not a problem Easy to "page out" chunks of programs -All Chunks are the same size (page size) -Use valid bit to detect references to "paged-out" pages Paging Disadvantages Can Still have internal fragmentation -process may not use memory in exact multiples of pages Memory reference overhead -2 references per address lookup Memory required to hold page tables can be large
Paging is a technique with the help of which we can divide the memory into pages which help us to easly access the files and it also decreases the Execution time (Saves SYSTEM time). It also creates a mirage of Memory.
Paging requires more memory overhead to maintain the translation structures. Segmentation requires just two registers per segment: one to maintain the base of the segment and the other to maintain the extent of the segment. Paging on the other hand requires one entry per page, and this entry provides the physical address in which the page is located.
In a pure segmentation architecture, segments are allocated like variable partitions, although the memory management hardware is involved in decoding addresses. Pure segmentation addresses replace the page identifier in the virtual address with a segment identifier, and find the proper segment (not page) to which to apply the offset.
disadvantages of memory segmentation
Paging refers to the division of address spaces into fixed size units and the logical addresses are in the form of tuples. On the other hand, segmentation is the dividing of address spaces into a defined number of segments.
Advantages of segmentation over paging: Speed. Reloading segment registers to change address spaces is much faster than switching page tables. Segment descriptor tables consume less memory than page tables. x86 page table entries do not have an 'Executable' bit. With segmentation, you can make a region of memory executable (code) or not (data). Segment size can be byte-granular (size 1 byte to 1Meg in units of 1 byte); pages are always page-granular (size 4K to 4Gig in units of 4K). Segmentation lets you make the segment as large as necessary, with no excess (there is no internal fragmentation).
Segmentation and paging are combined in a scheme called Segmented Paging to leverage the benefits of both techniques. This allows for efficient management of memory by dividing it into segments based on logical partitions and further dividing those segments into pages for optimized memory utilization and protection. Segmenting helps in managing variable-sized data structures, while paging streamlines memory allocation and reduces fragmentation. By combining these two strategies, Segmented Paging enhances memory management and provides more flexibility in handling memory access and protection.
