Emotional Intelligence:
This is the ability of mangers to understand their own emotions and those of the people they work with. A business can perform much better if the leader can understand his emotions and the emotions of others at the workplace.
The four competencies of Emotional Intelligence are:
Self-awareness: This is having self confidence in your own abilities and having a realistic view in your abilities.
Self-management: This is setting an example for other staff by being trustworthy, recovering from stress quickly and having self control.
Social-awareness: Being able to sense what others are feelings and taking others views into account.
Social-skills: Understanding different social situations, handling emotional relationships well and using social skills to negotiate and lead.
I did not find it in too many textbooks either, but this is what I was able to come up with. I hope this answers your question

Yeah we do but this time, try to include the 4 Cs as well. Start such a question with market research, then decide on the suitable marketing approach. Next, relate the information given to the 4Ps and 4Cs. Remember to be as creative as possible in the answers and try to be dynamic about the ideas as examiners appreciate that and you'll get extra marks for that.

cant say much about difficulty or questions...best of luck guys just read the book once and be alert on exam day anybody can nail this one..look at time too kinda constraint there
as for marketing questions,they'r usually 12 marks so:
start off with defining marketing, then go on to talk about the type of product or sth...as in pick from the case study then pitt it against real world scenarios and write about it -> try 2 talk about how what when where factors in sales of those kind of products and then talk about how the 4P's should be structured to boost just that..as in the strengths and overshadow the weaknesses of the product [ie. if niche marketing's used then u know that if a major mass producer opts for mass customization then ur market is under threat !!] and in the end dont fail to add about "integrated marketing" . see thats the new thing added onto the new book - & it stands for how the 4P's should be designed to support each other ie luxury car -> high price, high class outlet, add in prestigious magazine not womens weekly or sth, and then the product itself [aldy high class lol]....
its very important to have a conclusion paragraph that talks about the weaknesses of the theories we learn, and then write about why we still use them [ie very good predictor, proper analyzing method etc] .....this is ur evaluation paragraph and a large part of marks are in it,,,and this is where the integrated marketing part should be...a way to overcome the 4p"s weaknesses...be creative add on ur own points this is just frame. thanks
