The People and Process elements of Internal Marketing are likely to be the most productive parts of a Marketing Mix. Unfortunately, most stock market quarters are more tuned to External Marketing developments, and little is known about the recruitment, training, and logistics planning processes of companies that are top stock picks of yesteryear.

• Pricing Decisions and Stock Value (Part 1) - Editor, 7 February 2008 - No Comments yet

Nothing in the directly controllable domain of a professional manager can match pricing discretion, when it comes to immediate and dramatic effects on stock price.
