An Overview of Marketing
Understanding marketing is vital to your success as a business professional. According to Lamb, Hair, and McDaniel (2014), "Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large" (p. 3).
Companies that fail to embrace marketing as an essential business function commonly fail. Companies that effectively employ marketing strategically and tactically typically prosper.
