Marketing Orientation Sounds Easy,Isn’t
 Even the “best” firms sometimes backslide into a
production orientation
 In today’s highly competitive markets it is often
difficult to
 keep up with changing customer needs
 beat aggressive competitors to the punch
 find the right focus -- one that matches the firm’s
objectives and resources to market opportunities
 offer customers superior value

Customer value concerns the difference between the benefits a
customer sees from a firm’s market offering and the costs of
obtaining those benefits
Costs

Benefits
• One customer’s view of the benefits and costs of a firm’s
market offering may vary from another customer’s view, so
firm may not be able to satisfy everybody with the same
offering.

• Customer value concept takes the customers point of view,
but customers may not explicitly weigh costs and benefits
and even if they do their view may not match some
“objective” reality.
