Abstract

When one asks the question, why do we always start any business discourse with marketing and sales management, the logical answer that readily calls to mind is, "every business is marketing." This means that every business starts and ends with marketing. When Adam Smith in 1776 wrote that consumption is the 'ole and purpose of production, he was talking of marketing concept.

Marketing has been defined as "the business process by which products are matched with markets and. through which transfers of ownership are effected.
