Bibliography: The Chartered Marketing Institute defines marketing as: ➢ Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably (CIM 2010). The competitor’s identification should be done looking firstly at potential competitors, then focus at the extent to which market needs are satisfied and new needs are emerging (Brassington F. & Pettitt S., 2007).
