INCDMTM's marketing strategy refers to the development of specific activities and the use of a range of dedicated tools to facilitate the fulfillment of the objectives formulated by the board of directors and the executive management in the strategic documents of the organization.
The marketing strategy envisages the accommodation of the assumed objectives with the material, financial, and human resources that can be mobilized by the Institute, taking into account also the impact elements of the external environment that exert a major influence.
