Abstract: | The following six marketing models are described: marketing limitations /limitations of expertise, expenditure, and impact/; levels of generalisation /criteria are: general concepts, industry-specific and situation-specific/; planning versus operations /categories used are minimal and balanced/; marketing planning adapted for small firms /limited and substantial adaption/; stages of marketing development /reactive stage, tinkering marketing, entrepreneurial marketing/; levels of activity /little or no marketing, implicit and simple marketing, explicit and sophisticated marketing/. The models are viewed as a network revolving around the hub of marketing planning to assess small firms' marketing performance. |
