The Definition of Misplaced Marketing |
 | | Instead of marketing, adapting themselves to a marketable image, politicians should be leaders, using marketing theory and practice to, at most, sell their ideas to the public. |
 | | First, marketing can be misplaced in the sense that it is "lost" or missing when a business, government agency, non-profit organization or other group could (or should) follow the basic dictates of a marketing perspective but does not. |
 | | When I coined the term "misplaced marketing," it was to be a broad perspective for all times that marketing could be misplaced because it is misapplied, misused, abused, or simply the focus of social criticisms. |
