Marketing plays a vital role in creating sustainable competitive advantage for organizations with limited resources, and that operate in dynamic competitive environments. In doing so marketing provides the focus for creating and maintaining value for customers and organizational profit. Drawing from a preliminary review of basic marketing concepts and processes, Marketing Management develops a set of key analytical tools to enhance managers’ understanding of, and the ability to, manage key strategic issues and decisions. Marketing Planning and Management is designed as a beneficial stand-alone unit for all managers and provides a strong foundation for further marketing studies.
