Q1. Although one person or one
department is generally responsible for
managing the functions of marketing, it’s
important for all employees to understand
customer needs so they can develop the
right products and provide the highest
standards of customer service. Do you
agree with the statement? Support your
arguments with relevant theories and
industry examples.
Yes I agree with the statement, A customer's experience is
dependent on everything from the quality of the product to its
pricing, packaging and after sales services. To meet such a
wide range of needs, only one person or department cannot be
responsible. There has to be company-wide understanding of
the customer’s needs. The theory 7 P's of marketing which
include product, price, promotion, place, people, process, and
physical evidence strengthen our statement. This is not just the
role of marketing team. The price of the product will be
determined by the product designing team, people will be
motivated by the human resource department, the physical
evidence will be a part of operation, hence we can see that the
entire organisation has to centre their goals around the
customer needs.
