MARKETING AS A BUSINESS
PHILOSOPHY
Simply a way (i.e. orientation) towards how the business will
behave.
As a philosophy it recognises the importance of the customer
and that all business exists to serve customers rather than
manufacturing products.
To quote Adam Smith C A in his famous text ‘ The wealth of
“Consumption is the sole purpose of production and the interests
of the product ought to be attended o only so far as it may be
necessary for promoting those of the customer”

EVOLUTION OF MARKETING CONCEPT AND
MARKETING ORIENTATION
Self-sufficiency –No exchange process
Simple –Start of exchange process
Local markets –Economic specialisations
Money economy –Medium of exchange
Industrial revolution –Rapid growth in world population leading to increased demand.
Problem–How to supply?
Production orientation –More efficient production eventually led to oversupply. Problem
changed to –How to dispose?
Soles orientation –Economic theory states: when supply exceeds demand, reduce
price and use other techniques to stimulate demand.
Product orientation –Demand. Problem–how to keep customers? Companies sought
to keep customers by increasing emphasis on product design,
Problem –competition quickly copied and the design didn’t suit
everyone. Too many products than they demand for them.
Marketing orientation –Production based on customer needs and wants. Specific
markets identified and matched their requirements to the
capabilities of the company to ensure both parties needs were
satisfied.
