3     Marketing           As  intermediaries,  they  assist  the  corporation  in  marketing,

                       Intermediaries      selling,  and  distributing  its  products  to  ultimate  customers.

                                           Resellers,  physical  distribution  companies,  marketing  service
                                           agencies,  and  financial  intermediaries  are  all  examples  of

                                           intermediates.

                                           Because marketing is likewise concerned with the distribution of
                                           products to clients, marketing intermediaries have an impact on

                                           value delivery systems.

                 4     Competitors         Are  other  businesses  vying  for  the  same  customers  and

                                           attempting to satisfy the same needs and desires as the company?
                                           In  order  to  be  successful,  business  must  outperform  its

                                           competitors.

                                           Marketers  must  obtain  a  strategic  advantage  by  pitting  their

                                           products against those of competitors in the eyes of consumers.

                 5     Publics             Is  a  collection  of  people  who  have  a  vested  interest  in  an
