According to Philip Kotler, Marketing is a social and managerial process by which certain groups or individuals get what they need or want through the exchange of goods or services. Johnson, Schools, & Whittington believe marketing is the implementation of activities that can help a company to the goals it has set itself, and can anticipate the wishes of consumers and develop products or services fit for the market.
The Marketing is the activity performed in the trade. It is exchange or trade that applies when a person wants to buy a product and instead delivers a lot of money imposed. The marketing has been invented to meet the needs of the market in exchange for benefits for companies that use it to develop. This tool definitely is strictly necessary to achieve success in the markets. It is said that marketing is a social and managerial process that involved a group of people, with their concerns and needs. It needs a certain number of elements such as the organization, implementation and control for efficient development of activities.
