2. THE ROLE OF THE MARKETING DATABASE
•A database is a comprehensive collection of interrelated data that can be
accurately manipulated or retrieved.
•A marketing database focuses on customer details and their transactional or
behavioral histories.
•The marketing database benefits various elements of the marketing mix,
including broadcast or direct communications, sales promotion, PR, advertising,
market research, product development, sales force management, and motivation.
•Database Marketing should not be confused with Direct Marketing, as it is not a
medium itself but a tool to enhance performance, efficiency, and effectiveness in
marketing communications.
•The marketing database facilitates the development of a clear, actionable
understanding of customers.
3. SOURCES OF DATA

six types of source:
(1) leveraging current business processes,

they relate to e-Business. It will discuss the extent to which ethical e-Business
issues are distinctive, how they result in particularly challenging dilemmas

as promoting inclusivity, enhancing market openness, and
addressing freedom of speech concerns. It acknowledges
the challenges in regulating online content and identifies the
need to address emerging ethical issues specific to the
digital realm.
8. ETHICS IN CYBERSPACE
Hamelink (2000: 9) defines cyberspace as comprising all
forms of computermediated communication which take place
in a ‘geographically unlimited, non-physical space, in which –
independent of time, distance and location – transactions
take place between people, between computers and
between people and computers’. In the workplace, common
journeys into cyberspace would include sending an e-mail,
looking at a Web site, using a search engine and making
bookings or purchases over the Internet.
9. THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
In fact, at a local as well as a global level, access to the
Internet is far from universal. In 1999 it was estimated that
170 million people had Internet access. This is a minute 4
per cent of the world’s population. The figure is more
meaningful still when it is considered that over 80 per cent of
those with Internet access are in North America and Europe
(Hamelink 2000: 81). So, rather than being a social leveller,
the Internet is yet another divide between rich and poor, the
haves and have-nots, the networked and the non-networked.
