Most common definitions of marketing (2)
Chartered Institute of Marketing:
- The management process which identifies, anticipates, and satisfies customer
requirements efficiently and profitably
Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM): Marketing is about managing things in a way that
finds out what customers want, predicts it, and then meets those needs well while making a
profit.
American Marketing Association:
- 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 (AMA): Marketing is all the things and steps involved in
creating, telling about, giving, and trading products or services that people find valuable.
Views on marketing
- A function: Embraces all marketing activity within the organization. In a market
orientated organization, everybody will think of marketing
- A department: A defined part of the organization in which specialist marketers work;
report to marketing managers and directors who lead the department
- A discipline: Discipline means the ‘field of study’, in which the discipline of
marketing refers to the focus on understanding how businesses promote and sell
products or services
- A concept
- A philosophy: like a guiding belief or principle about how to approach and do
marketing. The underlying idea or mindset that shapes how businesses think about
and carry out their marketing activities.
- An orientation: An organization’s strategic orientation provides ‘the guiding
principles that influence a firm’s marketing and strategy making activities’ (Noble et
al, 2002)
Marketing is more than just selling, advertising, promotion, or marketing communication. It
also emphasizes on understanding the customers, as well as competitors, and devising
strategies to achieve a competitive advantage
