1- Once again, the Eastman Kodak Company has altered the determinants of pay raises for US employees. Whereas in the past pay increases for managers,

professionals, and hourly workers had been automatic, starting in 1996 the company began determining the size of an annual bonus pool and then allocated

level employees would work with their supervisors to establish personal goals against which they would be measured.

and other flavors use margarine, not butter. What are the problems a firm faces if it is “politically correct” in some products but not others?

Relationship Marketing “Inadequate basic values and their accompanying procedures – the wrong paradigm – is the biggest obstacle to success in marketing.

If marketers and top management do not understand and accept relationship values as a natural vantage point, there will be no positive effect of Relationship Marketing.”

Gummesson, E., (2002) Total Relationship Marketing, Butterworth Heinemann

Assuming that ‘the wrong paradigm’ refers to what is traditionally understood to be marketing, you should explain what is meant by the statement and

critically discuss how far you agree or disagree with it. You should discuss the differences between the philosophies and concepts of traditional marketing

and relationship marketing and how the application of these theories could contribute to success.

Your answer should be a critical discussion presented as an academic paper, using appropriate references and quoting all sources. You are expected to

research the available texts, and use examples to illustrate your argument.
