Agenda • The role of marketing in the firm and in society • Ethics • Types of markets — resource, industrial, intermediate, consumer, mass, niche • Production–selling–marketing orientation • The marketing concept — customer orientation, relationship marketing • Marketing planning process
The Role Of Marketing • To find out what customers want • To develop products that will meet that want through: • Understanding the target market better than competitors • Servicing the customers better than competitors
Marketing In Society • To provide goods and services that society needs
Ethics • What do you think about the following exchange: • “Excuse me,” said the young man in a suit to the mother with two children who was walking through the shopping Mall. “Would you mind answering some questions for a survey we are conducting on the importance of education?” “Certainly,” she said. “Do you think education is important?” he asked. Following the answer, “Yes,” he asked if she wanted her own children to get the best education available and eventually sold her a set of encyclopedias' for $3 000. It was a clever sales pitch but do you think it was ethical behaviour?
