ProductProductOrientationOrientation

SalesSalesOrientationOrientation

MarketingMarketingOrientationOrientation

Late 19th century: efficient production of goods allowed firms to meet strong customer demand.

Mid-1920s–early 1950s: weakened demand required that products would have to be “sold.” (personal selling, advertising, and distribution was the focus)

Early 1950s–2000s: adopting a customer focus means a commitment to researching and responding to customer needs.
