A scene from the boardroom of Acme Corporation:
Director: Every time we do our annual review of our executives’ salaries, I cringe when I think that we are paying more to Jim Mooney, our vice-president of marketing from Ohio State, than to our company’s president, Hank Bufford from Harvard. I just don’t understand it.
Chairman of the board: What don’t you understand? With-out Jim’s sales we wouldn’t need a president-or anyone else for that matter!
Marketers see the world like the chairman of Acme. As renowned Professor Philip Kotler of the Kellogg School at Northwestern teaches, marketing comes first. Marketing integrates all the functions of a business and speaks directly to the customer through advertising, salespeople, and other marketing activities.
Marketing is a special blend of art and science. There is a great deal to be learned in marketing classes, but no amount of schooling can teach you the experience, the intuition, and the creativity to be a truly gifted marketer. That’s why those with the gift are so highly paid. Formal education can only provide MBAs with a framework and a vocabulary to tackle marketing challenges. And that is the goal of this chapter and of the numerous expensive executive seminars conducted by the leading business schools.
