Control System
A good control system consists of

and problems

ineffective or defective control systems

 A global marketing audit can be defined as:
A comprehensive, systematic, and periodic
examination of a company’s or business unit’s
marketing environment, objectives, strategies
and activities, which is conducted with the
objective of identifying existing and potential
problems and opportunities and recommending
a plan of action to improve a company’s
marketing performance.

scope and time period and comparing results
