What is marketing?
• Kotler: “Marketing is the social process by which individuals and groups
obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products
and value with others.”
• CIM: “Marketing is the management process that identifies, anticipates and
satisfies customer requirements profitably.”
• Wikipedia: “Marketing is communicating the value of a product, service or
brand to customers, for the purpose of promoting or selling that product,
service, or brand.”
