Role of the Marketing Function. What is the role of the marketing function in business?
- In 200 to 250 words, explain the role of the marketing function. What are some activities of the marketing department? Explain how the marketing function determines customer value.

- Products and Services. It can be harder to sell an intangible service than a tangible product. Pick one of the cells: "Service Classifications" and name a service offered in that class-for example, business remodeling service under consulting and operations. In 200 to 250 words, describe a service in your chosen category in terms of the four ways a service is different from a product-its intangibility, inseparability, variability, and perishability. Propose a solution for sale that could be used as a point of competitive differentiation in a marketing campaign.
