Marketing and Marketing Management. About Some Relations between Field of Science and its Specialization of Research

In this paper the author analyses basic relations between marketing as a discipline of applied science and its research (scholarly) specialisation of normative-project nature, as the author considers marketing management as such specialisation. The author applies the most commonly used criteria of identification of a discipline and a sub-discipline (a specialisation) of science: a subject and scope of research; research focus; a problem and research paradigm; a relation between discipline knowledge and economic practice. As a conclusion, he states that tere are already sufficient premises to identify marketing as a discipline of science; within this discipline, one can identiTy marketing management as its scientific specialisation. However, this does not deny a need of maintaining close relation between marketing and both economics as well as management science.Zadanie pt. „Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki” nr 885/P-DUN/2014 zostało dofinansowane ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej naukę
