To succeed, specialists in manufacturing, product sourcing
and other disciplines require a cost effective, powerful and professional marketing
presence in their target markets. This can be provided from within the organisation
or it can be contracted-in from organisations which specialise in this area.
This latter approach is described as outsourcing non-core competencies.
In the specific areas of marketing, sales and debtor management, it is the
concept of associated marketing.
By outsourcing non-core competencies, organisations
can gain a heightened strategic focus and an improved competitive responsiveness
by putting the worlds very best talent at the disposal of their enterprise.
Marketing, selling and debtor management are strategic
functions. Associated marketing is therefore a way of providing organisations
around the world with the competitive edge in these disciplines which will
allow them to succeed in the longer-term, in an increasingly global and competitive
market place.
