Answer to Question 1

Marketing managers need detailed information about a firm's products and services and how they are marketed. A marketing manager also needs information about products and services offered by competitors--pricing strategies, new promotional campaigns, and products that competitors are test marketing. Operations managers are concerned with present and future sales levels, production schedules, current inventory levels of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. They also need information about new production technology that could make the firm's employees more productive.
