Six Sigma for Marketing

Six Sigma for Marketing (SSFM) is the newest Six Sigma variant.
SSFM links interdependencies of strategic marketing, tactical & operational processes. It proactively drives growth (e.g., new offerings) in a balanced way, versus simply cutting costs.
It includes "leading indicators" to identify potential issues and build-in prevention. If a marketing process is broken, incapable or out of control, then use one of the traditional Six Sigma approaches to improve or re-design it. Applicable beyond marketing to sales, strategic planning, customer operations & services, and finance.

	Six Sigma in Marketing Processes I have been looking for a book that would somehow provide good insights on the marketing process. Having the six sigma methodology come into the picture, I would think this should be a wonderful book, especially for those looking for a process-oriented approach in marketing. Seems like this could be it.
