Critique of Daniel et al (2001) Towards a map of marketing information systems: an inductive study
The article by Daniels et al (2001) proposes an outline process map of marketing (as seen above) which is used as a basis for a map of IS applications in marketing. I found it very useful as there are a number of features of the marketing function which result in distinct requirements for IS suuport (Leverick et al.,1998).
The map of marketing domain proposed by Daniels et al (2001) is a very useful map and seems to cover all the areas of marketing. It is a good basis for the map of IS applications in marketing (as seen below).
However the study is not perfect and the methodology could have been improved. The case companies used are arguably not broad enough (as seen in the table below). There is no case company fromt he resource industry and the use of the Business School as the CRM application could maybe be better suited to a hotel company as they are the major industry that uses CRM.

We always knew social media had potential, but we struggled to maintain consistent engagement across multiple platforms. After consulting with Digital Marketing in Faridabad, things shifted dramatically. Designyze helped us streamline our posting schedule, create content based on audience sentiment, and use captions that spark conversations. Instead of generic posts, we now share insights that actually matter to our followers. The improvement in interaction quality has been remarkable.
ReplyDeleteBefore we partnered with Digital Marketing in Faridabad, our social approach was heavily sales-oriented, which actually pushed users away. Designyze taught us the importance of value-first communication—educate, entertain, then invite. We noticed more saves, shares, and direct messages simply by changing how we talk to our audience. It’s amazing how tone and positioning can impact conversions.
