many people, non-marketers including practicing bankers may look at
marketing as an evolution which has been consider as the process of
helping the business organization to make progress or success which is
the progress that is made.
Marketing concentrate primarily on the
buyer or customers to determine educating them with regard to the
availability of products and to important product features, developing
strategies to persuade them to buy and finally, enhancing their
satisfaction with a purchase. Marketing management includes planning,
organizing, directing and controlling decision making regarding product
lines, pricing, promotion and servicing. In most of these areas
marketing has complete control; in others, as in product line
development, its function is primary advisory.
