Summarize the four orientations of marketing. - answer Product
Orientation - A good product will sell itself. More concerned with
, product innovation, not with satisfying the needs of individual
customers. Marketing with this orientation is simply about
informing the customer that a product exists, whether it is used at
all.

maximized and then heavy doses of personal selling and advertising
help to distribute the product. Marketing is only focused on the sale
of the product.

simply producing/selling, manufacturers with this orientation seek
to learn customer needs and wants, and design products to fit the
customers. Marketing plays an important role by communication of
the different attributes, or value, created by each product.
Value-Based Orientation - Discovering needs and wants, and deliver
the most value to customers than other competitors do. Value
reflects the relationship of benefits to costs. Marketing plays an
integral role in creating and delivering the valuable product, and in
communicating the value, especially in relation to other products
available.
What is the importance of marketing both within and outside the
firm? - answer Successful firms integrate marketing throughout
their organizations so that marketing activities coordinate with
functional areas, such as product design, production, logistics, HR,
etc. Enables a firm to get the right product, to the right customers,
at the right time.

chain ranging from raw materials to the consumer.

Firms "do the right thing" when they sponsor charitable events,
seek to reduce negative environmental impacts, and avoid unethical
practices. This makes a firm more likeable to customers.
