Controversy

In early 2009, one of the co-founders suggested that Payment should also be one of the elements of Marketing Mix. This suggestion became a controversial issue among the professors and instructors in the college. Some argued that Payment should be part of the Process, while some believed that it was actually derived from Place. Ultimately, it was agreed that Payment should be taken out as an independent element and Fox College of Business becomes an advocate for promoting Payment as the newest element of Marketing Mix. As a result, there are 9 Ps in Marketing Mix recommended by Fox, namely: Product, Pricing, Placement, Promotion, People, Process, Physical Evidence, Package, and Payment.
