I have published several marketing academic articles in internationally well-known academic peer-reviewed journals, investigated, researched, studied a lot. But still I have a question how many Ps in marketing we have? Yes, Philip Kotler, father of marketing in 2002 said there are 4ps in marketing. However, it was about 18 years ago.
