Marketing

This assignment has been designed to allow students the opportunity to explore the underlying importance of marketing and a marketing philosophy within organisations, and to society as a whole.

Assessment Task

“Most organisations offer more than one product or service…..The advantage here is that the various products – the product portfolio – can be managed so that they are not all in the same phase in their life cycles” (Hollensen, 2015 p257).

Having a balanced portfolio allows for the most efficient use of both cash and human resources (Hollensen, 2015 p257).

* Hollensen, S. (2015) Marketing Management: A relationship approach. 3rd ed. Harlow Pearson.
