Romanias accession in the European Union will bring

This means that Romanian companies will compete with other companies

European companies are more flexible and mobile and will put a high pressure on the local companies in order to produce better products, launch better offers and services and orientate more towards their customers.

In order to collect and organize a high quantity of diverse information, the enterprises started to build marketing information systems. There

The marketing information system includes data from extern

They are smarter, price conscious and sensitive, more demanding, less forgiving, and they are approached by many more competitors with equally good or
