Relacje między strategią marketingową a strategią finansowania

Both in the marketing and financing related literature, the topic of interconnections between these two areas is rather rare, as they tend to be discussed independently. In practice, however, it is not possible to prepare a marketing strategy without any indication of the source and size of the financial resources needed to achieve marketing objectives. The aim of this paper is to determine the substance of this relationship and to highlight the connection between marketing and management accounting, particularly from the perspective of the publications concerning the latter. This paper has been inspired by research in domestic and foreign literature on marketing and management accounting, as well as on controlling. The results of the literature study and observation of business activity allowed for a conclusion that there are strict dependencies between marketing strategy and financing strategy. Keeping the company on the market and ensuring its development in the long term depend on its profitability, which in turn is a result of the decision made by the buyers persuaded by means of specific marketing activities. The impact of marketing on the company’s profitability is visible, but it is a two-way relationship, as the level of profit and profitability largely determines the scope and intensity of marketing activities. The effects of marketing strategies are evaluated in terms of efficiency. This evaluation is done primarily through financial ratios. During the preparation of a marketing strategy as well as during the evaluation of its effects the relationship between management accounting and marketing clearly emerges e.g. in providing financial information for management accounting professionals and using it for the assessment of competitors, buyers, determining target markets, business objectives and other elements of the marketing strategy.
