7. Marketing
Over the
Years
Production-Oriented Era: During the 20th Century most
businesses were production oriented and were under the
assumption that a good product would sell itself.
Manufacturers focused on product innovation rather than
satisfying the needs of individual consumers.
Sales Oriented Era: Between 1920 and 1950 production and
distribution techniques became more advanced and because
of the Great Depression and World War 2 customers had to
consume less. This led to manufacturers producing more than
customers were able to buy.
Market-Oriented Era: After World War 2 the U.S. entered a
buyer's market. Manufacturers started to focus on what
consumers wanted and needed. Most businesses today are
Market Oriented.
Value-Based Marketing Era: Better firms realized they could
give people what they wanted and needed while giving their
customers a better value than other competitors.

10. Ethical and Societal Dilemma
When you think Marketing, you might think of
increasing financial profitability, but shouldn’t
corporations also be thinking about corporate
responsibility and being ethical? Many corporations in
America are doing just that and are taking on
marketing activities like developing greener products,
making food options healthier, making safer products,
and trying to reduce their carbon footprint during the
supply chain.
