Discuss about the evolution of marketing.

Answer»

Marketing is one of the business functions. The development of marketing is evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Evolution of Marketing:

1. Barter System: The goods are exchanged against goods, without money. 

2. Production Orientation: This was a stage where producers, instead of being concerned with the consumer preferences, concentrated on the mass production of goods.

3. Sales Orientation: The selling became the dominant factor, without any efforts for the satisfaction of the consumer needs. 

4. Marketing Orientation: Customers importance was realised but only as a means of disposing of goods produced. 

5. Consumer Orientation: Under this stage only such products are brought forward to the markets which are capable of satisfying the tastes and preferences of consumers.
