1. Marketing
1.1. Conceptualization of the discipline
Marketing is…
- ‘the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and
exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large’
- ‘the management process of anticipating, identifying and satisfying customer requirements
profitably’
o ‘If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses’ – Henry
Ford
Marketing as exchange
- It is a two-way (dyadic) process

is (b), it is a B2C, but there
are many kinds of
transactions in marketing
o (c): B2B transaction
o (a): non-profit interaction
Preconception 1: marketing = only for

o During the presidential elections: marketing around a campaign to make people
aware and to obtain votes
o For city, region or country branding (example: Antwerpen)

- ‘The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or
service fits him and sells itself.’ – Peter Drucker
o Example: Duvel: they never do price promotions (but sometimes they give a
premium on top) → customer wants it anyway, no need to sale it
