English translation: NO LEADS FOUND; MOST LIKELY AN ERROR IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Marketing
Spanish term or phrase: los cuatro S del marketing mix
The text mentions the '4 S' in brackets and sadly does not go on to define them or even say what they are
(poor reader...poor translator!)

What exactly are these 4 S, I assume they are the equivalent to the 4 Ps (product, price, promotion, place)

Hola Buen día...
Explanation:
Bueno, en realidad no te aporto nada pero... te quería comentar esto. Yo estudié Comercialización en la Universidad Argentina de la Empresa y Publicidad en la Universidad de Ciencias Empresariales y Sociales.
Resulta que despúes de las cuatro P de Philip Kotler, lo que apareció fueron las tres C del marketing: (compañía, competencia, cliente).

Acá al igual que en las cuatro P el español pudo mantener sinmucho problema las letras.

Company
Size, Employees, Sales, Profit, Culture, Yearly Growth


Competition
Direct Competition, Indirect Competition, Pricing, Company/Product Advantages & Disadvantages


Customer
Likes, Dislikes, Price Sensitivity


Bueno, just in case...tu cliente te avise que en realidad he meant the three c´s....

saludos,

I am sure it's an error. There is NOTHING in English, and in Spanish, nothing convincing/next to nothing. The 3 C's is unlikely, as I can't see how 'eses' can be confused with 'C', or 4 with 3, whereas it is quite possible that the author omitted the 'P' but included the 'S' marking the plural.

I am not sure how to proceed with the glossary, since it's 99% sure that this is an error, so I will award you one point and see how to proceed.

Thanks for your help anyway.

agree  Marcus Malabad: hola Miguel, your answer is correct if Ailish's text refers strictly to Argentinian marketing concepts (although I'm hard-pressed in figuring out how 'switching' applies to marketing), my answer is correct if the text refers to international standards
