Discusses the elements of a broadened concept on internal marketing, which emerges from: a systematic review and examination of the existing literature; case study material; ``expert'' opinion from leading academics; and interviews with managers.

Lewis European Journal of Marketing, Vol. 33 No. 9/10, 1999, pp. 926-944. # MCB University Press, 0309-0566 Introduction Explicit discussion of the marketing concept in use in the internal operations of the organisation entered the marketing and service management literature in the late 1970s. However, this concept has origins in published discussions of the organisation of marketing systems from the early years of the twentieth century.
