Marketing has been viewed from different standpoints as being vital for the attainment of individual or corporate objectives. Since marketing deals more with satisfaction and exchange. It therefore becomes very essential that such marketing activities be properly managed to realize any defined objectives set either by individual or any given organization. In this chapter the writer will be looking into the relationships which marketing has with management. Various authors have different definitions but we want to consider the definition that is given by American Marketing Association (AMA) which sees marketing as the performance of business activities that direct the flow of goods and services to the consumers.

While management has been defined as the organization process that is involved in utilizing human and material resources of the organization for the purpose of accomplishing defined objectives.

Marketing management is defined as planning  implementation and control of programmes with the target market for the purpose of achieving company goals. (1999) defined marketing management as the process of utilizing the management function of planning, organization, stating directing, leading, and controlling in the solutions of marketing problems.
