"Marketing is not the art of finding clever ways to dispose of what you make. It is the art of creating genuine customer value." — Philip Kotler

INTRODUCTION:

When the topic of discussion is marketing, there is only one name that springs immediately to mind i.e., Philip Kotler. Kotler has, over the past four decades, established a reputation for himself as the "Father of Marketing".

As the first person to define marketing as a field, he has achieved iconic status in countries all over the world including Indonesia, where his invaluable contributions have led to a postage stamp being brought out in his honor. His book Marketing Management: Application, Planning, Implementation and Control (1967), now in its thirteenth edition, is widely considered to be the `bible' of marketing. As his colleague at Kellogg, I have had the privilege of working with this "living legend" of marketing.

Philip Kotler is the S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Kellogg was voted the “Best Business School” for six years in Business Week’s survey of U.S. business schools. It is also rated as the “Best Business School for the Teaching of Marketing”. Professor Kotler has significantly contributed to Kellogg’s success through his many years of research and teaching there.

THE ACEDEMIC:

He received his master's degree at the University of Chicago and his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both in economics. He did postdoctoral work in mathematics at Harvard University and in behavioral science at the University of Chicago.

He has received honorary doctoral degrees from the Stockholm University, University of Zurich, Athens University of Economics and Business, DePaul University, the Cracow School of Business and Economics, Group H.E.C. in Paris, the University of Economics and Business Administration in Vienna, Budapest University of Economic Science and Public Administration, and the Catholic University of Santo Domingo.

“Marketing is becoming a battle based more on information than on sales power” – Philip Kotler.

THE CAREER:

Professor Kotler has consulted for such companies as IBM, General Electric, AT&T, Honeywell, Bank of America, Merck and others in the areas of marketing strategy and planning, marketing organization and international marketing.
