A Framework for Marketing Management: Kotler & Keller
Chapter 1: Scope of Marketing for New Realities:
What is marketing?
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. (American Marketing Association, 2013)
Bringing right product to the right person at the right time and place (4P’s).
“The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous to know and understand the
customer so well that the product or service fits him and self itself.”
Creating customer value: Understanding latent customer needs and wants
Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would
have said faster horses” (just asking the customers do not bring
the perfect solutions)
Marketing management philosophies / orientations:

integrated perspective
What is marketing today? – Philip Kotler
Product-driven marketing (1.0) > Customer-centric marketing (2.0) > Human-centric
marketing (3.0) > Digital marketing (4.0)
“...any company that wants to survive has to turn to these new tools of social media
and use digital media to facilitate their management of their business”
“We are not dropping traditional marketing; we are blending traditional and digital.”
“Marketing should adapt to the changing nature of the customer and the customer’s
paths in the digital economy. The role of marketers is to guide customers
throughout their journey from awareness to advocacy.”
