What are the two key objectives of marketing? Define "exchange" and explain how it supports these objectives.

What will be an ideal response?


To serve both buyers and sellers, marketing seeks (1) to discover the needs and wants of prospective customers and (2) to satisfy them. The key to achieving these two objectives is the idea of exchange, which is the trade of things of value between buyer and seller so that each is better off after the trade. If an exchange takes place, then marketers will have been successful in achieving these two objectives, since each party must be better off after the trade.
