Markets in general and products or services in particular have very tricky ways of evolving. Therefore, if there is any part of management that requires the most strategic plannings and moves, it should be marketing. This is typically important for demystifying the forces that create the markets and their complex interplays.

Organizations where each individual considers himself a marketer achieve the greatest success. These companies understand that enhancing the total customer experience by listening to what really excites customers and then responding with products and services which make customers successful, often builds trust and confidence from the market. Every individual in the company is then committed to this customer success.
