You are a marketing manager tasked with developing training for new hires and interns. In the prior assignment, you learned your CMO believes in linking marketing strategies with innovation to create successful initiatives and wants this information to be aligned throughout the company.

  • Discuss the 4P’s;  
  • Identify the most important “P”; and 
  • Discuss the relationship between marketing and innovation 

Reflect on the readings for this week. Then, develop a PowerPoint presentation in which you will explain the answers to the following questions. 

  1. What are the four elements of the marketing mix? Describe each aspect in detail. 
  2. Of the four elements, which is the most important? Why? 
  3. Can innovation succeed without marketing? Explain.
