Evolution of the teaching of marketing: a brief history

The history of marketing education is rich, spanning more than100 years, and much can be learned from teachers' and past students' experiences. It is important to go back in time and observe how marketing was originally seen and taught and how it has evolved with social, political, and economic changes. It is important to understand what we understand by marketing today and therefore how we convey the subject to our students. To do so, a literature review was made using the Journal of Marketing as the main focus, but other important publications in the area were also included. The history can be presented in 4 phases. Our findings can contribute to understanding the processes and problems that all marketing academics face and consequently help signal the route to follow in the future.
