ABSTRACT:
Marketing management and entrepreneurship are two critical elements that drive business success in today’s competitive landscape. While entrepreneurship focuses on identifying opportunities, creating innovative products, and taking calculated risks to build new ventures, marketing management ensures that these innovations reach the right audience and generate value. This paper explores the symbiotic relationship between marketing management and entrepreneurship, emphasizing how effective marketing strategies enhance entrepreneurial ventures and contribute to long-term business sustainability. Key concepts such as market research, segmentation, product positioning, and the marketing mix are discussed in the context of entrepreneurship. The role of digital marketing, branding, and consumer behavior analysis is also examined as tools for entrepreneurs to effectively engage their target market. By aligning marketing strategies with entrepreneurial goals, businesses can overcome challenges, differentiate themselves from competitors, and ensure growth. The paper concludes by highlighting emerging trends such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and sustainability, which are reshaping both marketing and entrepreneurship, providing new opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurs in the modern business environment.
