The overall purpose of all administrative controls is, as in the case
of production controls, the elimination of uncertainty and the exercise
of constraint to achieve the desired result. Since markets must remain
the prime area of uncertainty, the effort of the corporation is therefore
to reduce the autonomous character of the demand for its products and to
increase its induced character. For this purpose, the marketing organization
becomes second in size only to the production organization in manufacturing
corporations, and other types of corporations come into existence whose
entire purpose and activity is marketing (184).
