CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In carrying out Marketing Analysis, Evaluation and Distribution, Marketing Managers need timely and accurate information about customers, competitions, dealers and other forces in the market place.  Marion Herper (2000, pg 203) says the “to manage a business well is to manage its future and to manage the future is to manage information”. (Kolter and Armstrong (2000, pg 114) in An Introduction to Marketing).

During the past century, most companies were small and knew their customers first hand, managers pick up marketing information by starting around people observing them and asking them questions.  In this present century, many factors have increased the need for more and better information management.  As companies expend into national and international markets, they need more information on large and more distant markets.

As income increase and customers become more selective, managers need better information about how customers behave to different products.  Marketing managers need information on the effectiveness of their marketing tools.  In today’s rapidly changing environments, managers need much better up- to –date information to make timely decision.

Marketing Information System (MIS) begins and ends with the marketing managers to asses their information needs and also develop the needed information from internal company records, marketing intelligence activities and marketing research process.  In addition, the marketing information system distributes information to managers in the right form and at the right time to help them in marketing planning, implementation and control.

By accessing information needs, a good marketing information system balances the information managers would like to have against what they really need and what is feasible to offer. Sometimes MIS cannot supply all the information managers are requesting for.
