Replying to LO26671 --
Winfried points out that Gavin's "standard" meaning may not be so
standard. In my original reply to this thread, I described my concept of
marketing. It is by no means that which Gavin calls "standard" but
encompasses not just sales and demographic/competitive research, but the
entire product development process as well. This IS a system, Gavin. It
meets all of your criteria and all of mine. The notion of complex
marketing systems is, indeed, complex, as are the discussions of it.
