Marketing and Advertising - Tehran, , Iran
Marketing theorists believe that scientific marketing originated in the early twentieth century. At that time, marketing was taught as one of the courses in business management at a number of American universities. Subsequently, marketing science was aimed at improving the relationship between vendors and customers and responding to ambiguities in customer behavior towards the products and services. The first marketing course in Iran was introduced in the 1950s by Dr Abdul Hameed Ebrahimi, at the Business School (current Allameh Tabatabai University).
