Marketing Management

Marketing management is purposeful-those in it are attempting to accomplish organizational objectives such as dollar profit, share of market, political candidate’s success, charity donation goals, etc. The most common goal is profit, but it is not the goal in all situations.

Marketing management is designed to satisfy the needs or wants of constituencies; for managements to achieve organizational goals, some constituency must buy a product, service, or idea from the organization.

Marketing management involves trade-offs-an organization is resources (dollars, skills, location, costs) impose limits on how well it can meet the requirements of its customers. No organization can be all things to all people. Thus, marketing managers must decide upon a specific customer group to whom to cater (called the market target) and decide of the several alternative possibilities it will offer to that group.

Marketing management is competitive – with rare exceptions, organizations must compete for the attention, initial patronage, and continues patronage of their customers Sometimes the competition is very direct and sometimes very indirect. Usually there is a spectrum of competitive offerings a manager must “better” to obtain and maintain customers` patronage.

Marketing decision making can be improved via a combination of experience and academic discipline; while only a few-would maintain marketing management is a science, most knowledgeable individuals would agree that there are some conventional wisdom and “fundamental concepts”.

Marketing does not equal selling, nor does equal advertising. Marketing is an approach to improving the relationship between an organization and its existing clientele.
