2. What does it mean to be market
driven / Market oriented?

Find the customers need and
want then offer the product
he need, at the price acceptable to
him, make it available to him at the
right place, and communicate this
to him at the right promotion method
and level

But other company’s can do
this also for the same
Customer and might be more
effective than us

So where is the competitive advantage?

6. Market Situation Now
• Today , almost all consumer market are mature,
Whatever real growth there is comes from population
increases , which never exceed 1 to 2 percent. To
survive one must wrench market share from
established brands
• Today, product categories are so saturated that market
exhibit what economist call “ Monopolistic
competition” This “Oxymoron” describes a market in
which no one brand dominates , where product
differentiation is not much in performance as in brand
perception, where price competition is intense

7. What is happening now
• The Better Mousetrap syndrome : Many company
still believe that consumer will favor products
that offer the most quality, performance and
features.
• The idea that a product can sell itself runs deep.
E.g. digital equipment corporation lost 636 $
• The higher the quality the greater the chances of
marketing success e.g. Kaizen
• The belief that the height of marketing
sophistication is to identify and respond to
existing needs and wants

8. What is happening now
• Don’t assume that consumers Market
(individual people, business executives,
government officials – everybody who spends
money for product and services ) can identify
their needs and wants

9. Is it possible to have a Need and no
Market?
