The Production Concept • The Oldest concept in business. • Consumers will prefer products that are widely available and inexpensive. • Managers concentrate on achieving high production efficiency, low costs and mass distribution. • This application makes sense in developing countries, where consumers are more interested in obtaining the product than in its features.
The Product Concept • Consumers will prefer products that offer the most quality, performance and innovative features. • Managers focus on making superior products and improving them over time. • Not that much valid, as, quality is subjective in nature.
The Selling Concept • Consumers and businesses, if left alone, will ordinarily not buy enough of the organization’s products. • Consumers typically show buying inertia or resistance and must be coaxed into buying it. • Usually, applicable for the unsought goods.
The Marketing Concept The marketing concept emerged in the mid-1950s. It replaced the product-centered “make-and-sell” philosophy with the customer centered “sense-and-respond” philosophy. The key to achieving its organizational goals consists of the company being more effective than competitors in creating, delivering and communicating superior customer value to its chosen target markets.

The Societal Marketing Concept Is an appropriate philosophy in an age of environmental deterioration, resource shortages, explosive population, world hunger and poverty and neglected social services. The organization’s task is to determine the needs, wants and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired satisfactions more efficiently and effectively than competitors in a way that preserves or enhances the consumer’s and the society’s well being.
