Conclusions and direction for further research. In order to make balanced marketing decisions, it is necessary to have information about existing practical experience in solving problems similar to one's own, as well as by what methods they are implemented. This is achieved by applying a benchmarking approach. At the same time, the management of the company should take into account that their own experience is studied, researched and analyzed through communication links. Due to such interaction, the level of substantiation of management decisions increases, and thus the competitiveness of the enterprise itself. In the modern practice of building marketing information systems, the prevailing principle is that first all the necessary marketing information is covered, and then the information necessary for managers of a certain level of management is accumulated from it. Modern information technologies, using the capabilities of global information networks (Internet, Bitnet, DECnet and others) allow marketing departments to receive relevant information in a timely manner and in the necessary volumes.
