14 Oct 2008 2371 ViewsThanks to Dr. Tarnovskaya and all the students at Lund University’s School of Economics and Management for a productive seminar, “The 4Cs: What Kotler didn’t tell you.”
The talk contrasted marketing theory with marketing reality in an attempt to help students bridge the two. I hope those who attended will be better able to identify companies that are operating under a true marketing paradigm (generating demand in the market) vs. those that operate under a production paradigm (focused solely on pushing products into the market) when they enter the work force.

Thank you Sean! I really enjoyed the seminar and I have shown TwoDaloo to everyone and they’re laughing, just like me… thanks again.
You’re welcome Emelie. Yes, Twodaloo has to be the poster child for products in a search of a need. If you Google it you will see it has got a LOT of buzz, but very few sales I imagine.
