Marketing in business analysis

Being a marketing major (ahem, implies an MBA from some random college) i cannot quite shake it off from the essence of my thinking.
Though business analysis might not seem even remotely connected to marketing in the beginning, I find it very well is (even if this is still a beginning for me).
Marketing, being a horizontal sort of trade is applicable everywhere. So how does it feature in the life of a business analyst?

To begin with lets try and list a few "Jargons" so to say:
1) Communication
2) Research
3) Horizontal
4) Networking
5) Market
6) Domain
7) Product
8) Service
9) Training
10) Estimation
11) Pricing
12) People

So far so good- That's all I could think of for the time being ;) well, in terms of broad themes.

Lets mull over them till the next post, and see which ones stand out as purely marketing ideologies and which are purely business analysis ones :)

The hang out..

A beginner's blog to business analysis. Here you will find efficient tried and tested (and passed) techniques of business analysis. Blah blah and some more blah! Well duh, that's what all the blogs do right!

Here, however, as the name suggests the way of doing it might be a wee bit different.. We might even NOT be doing the usual self-help, ready made solutions (which hardly are applicable practically), or anything of that sort.

Here we will just discuss, or hope to discuss experiences. Hanging out with buddies having similar or not quite similar thoughts/perspectives, and sharing random experiences- not too random or maybe very random ;)

The analyst's hangout is an attempt to learn, explore and share all of it and then learn some more.... So here's to an "analytic" journey which will hopefully lead to some learning and fun, fun learning, funny learning.. However you like it ;)
