Marketing means knowing, doing it all
Article Abstract:
An analysis of current trends in marketing reveal that marketing has become just a function in an organization. Marketing executives are being hired for their financial and management experiences rather than their marketing backgrounds. Further analysis also shows that more firms are no longer appreciative of what competition could do to improve the quality of their services and products. If marketing was to be practised the way analyst Peter Drucker described it, namely, that marketing consists of strategies to get and keep clients, then marketing would not be compartmentalized.

Article Abstract:
Geoffrey Moore's concept of the need to capture the so-called early-adopters market before the masses can be won over is being challenged by Forrester Research. Forrester analysts claim that different technologies cannot be attractive to the same group of people. Instead, the marketing research firm suggests that the technology market can be divided into 12 segments which are differentiated by factors such as income, acceptance of new technology and primary technology motivation.
