In 2012, Philip Kotler was honorably invited to give a presentation on marketing at the annual Chicago Humanity Festival (CHF) took place at the Northwestern University’s Kellogg. His appearance for a speech on marketing undoubtedly attracted the participation of many audiences from not only Chicago but also other US cities.

1. THE HISTORY OF MARKETING
In the present, “marketing” has become one of the most popular words in business. But according to Dr. Kotler, until the beginning of 20th century, there is nothing defined as “marketing” in any dictionaries. Marketing only has been developed for over 100 years since people discovered it in 1910. However, marketing has been already existed for a long time in some kinds of another thing. It is “Rhetoric” defined by Aristotle as “the art aims to improve the facility of speakers or writers who attempt to inform, persuade or motivate particular audiences in specific situations.

    Marketing is a crucial part of a company; it is defined as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes of creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large (Lamb, 2010). In other words marketing can be seen as a planned concept used by most businesses to enhance their financial growth. Customers can be put at ease with knowing that the products they purchase are of excellent quality and the quantity they demand will be available. Before taking this marketing class; when I heard the word marketing my thought was that it only involved advertising…

    What exactly is marketing? Is it just convincing people to buy products through various media? Billboards, TV commercials, junk mail and magazines filled with advertisements? From the consumer’s perspective, that is how it seems (Kotler et al. 2010, p. 5). But from a business’s standpoint, marketing is viewed very differently. Marketing is viewed as being based on an exchange relationship between a business and its customers, where a business offers something of value, and customers purchase this product, which provides the business with the means to continue producing this item of value (Moscardo et al. 2010, p. 277).…

    According to Marketing Association (1985, as cited D. Hall and R. Jones 2010: 48) "Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchange and satisfy individual and organizational objectives". Hall D (2010: 48) points out that the objectives of marketing are to satisfy consumer needs, determine requirements of potential buyers, understand and identify demands, tastes and preferences; to cope with arisen problems in sales, to compete with the competitors and finally and most important to get a profit. As Bartels (1976, as cited Egan, 2011: 6) argues the history began from the Industrial Revolution in the end of nineteenth century, where marketing had its first sprout, due to increased quantity of the production and hence decreasing the prices. Partly marketing had its roots from economics, however it was self-depended. Jean-Baptiste Say (1803, as cited Egan, 2011: 6) states Economists argued that there can't be any demand without supply. However, marketers found that demand includes not only the ability to purchase, but also aspiration of the consumer, therefore it was suggested that there plenty ways to increase the desire of people to consume more through such factors as advertising, distribution and so on. This essay will discuss the history of marketing and how it was changed through the years and in what socioeconomic situation it was discovered; and finally how it should be changed in order to cope with future marketing standards.…

    Growth of a strategic leader involves a number of important aspects. First, the most important, definitely introductory, part of this research concerns values, ethics, codes, morals, and standards. Second, the path to strategic leadership resembles the building of a pyramid (appendix 1). Shortcuts do not exist, and one can’t start at the top—strategic leaders are made, not born. Strategic leaders steadily build understanding, defined as acquiring experiences over time. One must also remember that certain activities can speed up these experiences and widen perspectives. Leaders should be aware that even though some individuals with strategic capability may not become strategic decision makers, they can still pressure and contribute to decisions.…
