BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

 Survival strategy involves the development of a well-articulated marketing strategy plan for successful introduction of the product into the market.

The strategy is not static and would most probably undergo refinement and modification in subsequent stages.

The marketing strategy deals with the marketing mix co-ordinations that would be used. The market and the marketing budget. It could be broken down into sections,
