use the resources at hand effectively and efficiently. Planning, organising, staffing, leading, directing,
and regulating business organisations are all part of the management role.

The act of promoting a company's goods and services is known as marketing. It aids in engaging
potential buyers from the market in the investigation, marketing, and distribution of goods and services.
The concepts of management and marketing will be covered in this report. The two main sectors of a
corporate organisation are management and marketing. It's crucial to take the management and
marketing sectors into consideration when running a commercial organisation. The paper will cover
topics that influence the operation management and marketing effectiveness of contemporary
organisations.

4.1 Functions and roles of marketing of your chose organisation

1.What is marketing?
Marketing is any activity a business engages in to draw a target audience to its goods or
services through compelling messaging. In order to demonstrate product value, build brand
loyalty, and eventually boost sales, marketing seeks to provide standalone value for prospects
and customers through content. (Forsey, 2021)

2.Functions of marketing

Promotion.
Promotional techniques frequently overlap with other company divisions and
awareness-raising initiatives like public relations and advertising. Promotion can
range from content marketing and email marketing to social media, text
marketing, and influencer marketing from a marketing standpoint.

Selling.

The reality is that selling things to clients is a component of any marketer's job;
ideally, this is done with greater subtlety. The ultimate objective of all marketing
decisions, from brand messaging to campaign themes, should be to increase
sales.

Product/Service Management.

Designing a new product that better satisfies consumer wants and fills a market
gap is neither an accident or a matter of chance. To ascertain what consumers
want and how to produce the finest product, extensive market research is
required.

Marketing Information Management.

Data is the engine of strategic marketing. The more knowledge you can gather
about your target market, industry rivals, and market trends, the more successful
your marketing efforts will be, as every competent marketer is aware of.

Pricing.

Brands' pricing decisions might be influenced by marketing research. Effective


pricing is as much an art as a science, and brands must discover the sweet spot
that strikes a balance between how customers value your products or services,
the cost of manufacturing and delivery, and the price of similar products currently
on the market.

Financing.

When people consider finance, they frequently concentrate on the initial costs of
starting a new business. But in practise, funding is a constant problem for firm
owners and executives, who must make challenging budgetary decisions every
year and every quarter.

Distribution.

Understanding your target market's characteristics, how they perceive your


brand, and where they expect to find you are all marketing-related factors that
must be taken into account when selecting the appropriate distribution channels.
(Keleher, 2022)
3.Roles of marketing
As marketing has evolved over time, it has assumed a number of different shapes. The idea that
marketing includes selling and advertising is widespread but utterly false. Although they are a
part of the marketing mix and were sometimes mistaken for the only outcomes of numerous
marketing initiatives that were monitored, these activities actually make up a very small portion
of the entire process.

• Choosing a target market
• Creating new products
• Knowing where a brand should go in the future
• Examining consumer perceptions of brands
• Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of an organization
• Developing and executing marketing strategies to get there.
