Academic Year 2021/2022

Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.

An effective marketing strategy, based on the analysis of global market needs and wants, technology, communication, culture difference, world economic trends, as well as the firm’s own comparative advantage, can enhance firm’s worldwide performance.
