The main reasons for the relatively low power of the marketing function within the private sector are insufficient control of CMOs over marketing strategy and the marketing mix, lack of convenient measures for capturing the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing investments, the tactical and short-termed orientation of marketing departments, and last but not least the low reputation of the marketing profession.

The influence of marketing department in corporations tends to be limited, as it usually plays a rather tactical and narrow role. It is often primarily concerned with marketing communications whereas it lacks involvement with other crucial marketing activities such as brand strategy and positioning, new product development or pricing.

With the exception of companies operating in the FMCG sector, marketing department is typically not the most powerful force in the Czech corporations and its involvement with strategic and non-communication marketing activities is typically relatively low.
