The term ‘Marketing’ has been defined in many ways by
different authorities:
Marketing is a total system of business activities designed to
plan, price, promote and distribute want-satisfying goods and
services to present and potential customers (Stanton, 1964).

Wants
Demands
Products

The Evolution of Marketing
Marketing develops as the society and its economic
activities develop.
During agrarian economy, the people largely self-
sufficient – they grew their own food, produce their
own clothes, built their own houses, etc.
How ever, when people make more than they wanted,
the foundation was laid for trade, and trade
(exchange) is the heart of marketing.

Hereafter, the exchange process was a simple one. The
emphasis was largely on the production of basic needs
which usually was in short supply.

undertake large-scale promotion and selling effort

1. target market,
2. customer needs,
3. integrated marketing, and
4. profitability.
Societal Marketing Concept
Some have questioned whether the marketing concept is an
appropriate philosophy in an age of environmental
deterioration:
Resource shortages, and
Explosive population growth,
world hunger and
poverty, and
Neglected social services.
Goal: Balance (1) Consumer satisfaction in short and long
term, (2) society, (3) company profits
Marketing Management
Marketing Management is analysis, planning, implementation,
and control of programs designed to create, build, and maintain
beneficial exchanges with target buyers for the purpose of
achieving organizational objectives.
 Simply put, marketing management is demand management.
13

marketing manager has to deal by applying different
strategies. These are:

market dislikes the product and even pay price to avoid
it.
 Market strategy ( task)- Conversational marketing
