Abstract

Marketing, like many areas of human knowledge, has evolved along the years in search of better strategies that may contribute efficiently to reach organizational goals. Marketing management within the work of business demands greater knowledge from administrators so as to enable the implementation of more efficient strategies.   

In this case, we analyze the way in which managers of some service companies of various sectors of the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica claim to use the 4 C elements in their organizations. Therefore, the qualitative revision of the marketing strategies used by fifteen service companies of the Greater Metropolitan Area are reviewed in the light of the strategy recommended by Cobra (2000) and known as 4 C. Based on this, a proposal is made to be used by Costa Rican companies in a functional manner.
