Marketing is increasingly the critical force driving today’s successful business. Marketing is at the core of overall strategy for manufacturers, service companies, and not-for-profit institutions. Every successful organization recognizes an effective marketing program as a necessity for providing a high level of customer satisfaction and, in turn, achieving organizational goals. All organizations seek highly motivated, professionally educated marketing specialists to design and execute their customer-driven marketing programs, which is the right career choice for a BBA degree in General Marketing.
Careers in marketing fields are expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of the many career paths chosen by business graduates, marketing is the single largest employment category of the U.S. labor force.
