Description
During the last board meeting of Selfless Health, Sam Snide, the chair of the board finance committee, challenged the need for a marketing department. According to Sam, the flagship academic medical center has a strong enough reputation to attract patients. He further stated that advertising by members of a profession is unseemly. The system CEO has asked you to prepare a memo to the board outlining what, if any, role (beyond advertising) strategic marketing plays in health system operations. Consider such aspects as corporate culture, population health, brand identity, and organizational structure. Length 7-10 pages, not including any cover, references or figures.While this is a memo, at least five resources, three of which are scholarly, should be cited in the memo and included in references.
