The Marketing Function

Marketing can be viewed as the 4Ps; product, price, promotion, and place. Or it can be viewed as the 4Cs; customer solution, cost to customer, communication, and convenience. It is often viewed as department but marketing is an important business function. Marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer needs and their satisfaction. Remember Drucker stated that marketing was the entire company from the customer’s perspective.
