The Content of the particular Course, which is related to the Science (and “art”) of Marketing, can be described as the definition of Marketing indicates, namely: “… the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for consumers, clients, partners, and society at large.” (American Marketing Association, 2008) .
Since the ultimate goal of Marketing is nothing but the mutual satisfaction of all involved parties in a particular exchange, aiming to build a long-lasting relationship, Marketing is perceived mostly as a mindset rather than a managerial field.
