The Marketing Organisation Senior management sets the organisation s mission, objectives, broad strategies and policies. Marketing managers must make decisions within the plans made by senior management. Senior management must approve marketing plans before they can be implemented. In designing marketing plans, marketing management takes other organisation groups into account such as: top management, finance, research and development (R&D), purchasing, manufacturing and accounting.

Competitors Every organisation faces a wide range of competitors. The marketing concept states that, to be successful, an organisation must provide greater customer value and satisfaction than its competitors. No single competitive marketing strategy is best for all organisations. Each marketer should consider its own size and industry position compared with those of its competitors.
