This chapter focuses on how to do marketing in an oeganized,programmatic manner. As a makter,you face so many key decisions,so many minute details,so many separate budget items——and too many of these are beyond the direct control of the marketing department in most organizations. The result of all this fragmentation is that marketing efforts spring up with every good idea or customer demand,rather like rabbits. In most organizations,hundreds of marketing rabbits are running around,each one in a slightly different direction from any other. As a result, I am afarid the reality is that marketing is the least efficient and effective of all the major business functions.
