It provides a set of concepts and ideas for approaching marketing decisions, on providing a common language with which to think about marketing issues, and on the structuring and analysis of managerial problems in marketing. It prepares future general managers and CEOs to deal with core marketing issues by providing a way of thinking strategically about the firms' products, services and markets.
