This document contains over 100 expertly defined questions and answers from Exam 1 of the MKTG 409 2025/2026 course on Principles of Marketing at Troy University. It presents a thorough and structured overview of foundational marketing concepts, ideal for students in business, marketing, or management. Covered topics include the marketing process, the Four P’s (Product, Price, Place, Promotion), value creation, and target market strategies such as undifferentiated, concentrated, and differentiated segmentation. Students are guided through advanced ideas like geodemographic and benefit segmentation, customer relationship management (CRM), green marketing, and customer lifetime value (CLV). The resource also dives into environmental scanning, competitive structures (monopoly, oligopoly, pure competition), and stages of the business cycle (prosperity, recession, depression, recovery). A comprehensive portion of the document focuses on marketing research—primary vs. secondary data, probability vs. non-probability sampling, and methods like surveys, focus groups, and time-series forecasting. The last section reviews critical U.S. marketing and antitrust legislation, including the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, Robinson-Patman Act, Wheeler-Lea Act, Lanham Act, and others, making it particularly valuable for students studying marketing law or preparing for certification exams.
