Abstract
Despite the importance of the 4Ps of Marketing in an organization’s growth strategy, limited research was found to examine the 4Ps’ impact on a politician’s capabilities and consumer/voter satisfaction. On the contrary, much attention has been given to the resource-based view tool (RBV); a tool that utilizes a firm’s valuable resources and dynamic capabilities to strengthen performance and achieve customer satisfaction. Via an online questionnaire, this research collected data from U.S. elected politicians. Using principal components regression, the researchers aim to apply specific dynamic capabilities in politics via the 4Ps Marketing Strategy. Important implications are drawn from this study, and suggestions for future studies are provided.
