The participants were enlightened on the topic of ‘Essential elements of marketing mix’ through a practical approach with the help of a case study.
The famous case study of Vora and Company prepared by Neil H. Borden of Howard University was discussed and analyzed during the lecture. The case study explained the existing conditions and the practices followed by the company. It dealt with the history of the company and its strategies on competition, packaging, distribution, pricing, sales, cost and advertising.
