Introduction: Marketing, as indicated in the term, denotes a process that is continuous in
nature. The market should be continuously involved in initiating, conducting and
finalizing transactions and exchange. This is an unending process and would continue
till production and consumption cease to exist in the world.
Meaning: The term ‘marketing’ can be defined analytically or operationally. The analytic
way of explaining the terms to show how marketing differs from various other activities
of a firm, marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. One of
the shortest definitions of marketing is “ meeting needs profitably”.
Definitions: According to kotler : “Marketing is the science and art of exploring, creating,
and delivering value to satisfy the needs of a target market at a profit. Marketing
identifies unfulfilled needs and desires”
According to American management association : “Marketing is the process of planning
and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and
services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives”.
Thus marketing may be defined as those as those business functions which are most
directly and primarily concerned with three activities
∑The recognition of the demand,
∑The stimulation of demand
∑The satisfaction of demand
