Four eras in the history of marketing: Production (prior to 1920s) – a product will sell itself Sales (prior to 1950s) – creative promotion will overcome consumers resistance and convince them to buy Marketing (Since 1950s) – The consumer rules! Find a need and fill it. Relationship (Since 1990s) – Focuses on building long-term, value-added relationships overtime with customers and suppliers. Marketing Myopia – the failure to recognize the scope of a company’s business. To avoid marketing myopia a firm must find innovative ways to reach new markets with existing goods and services. The five categories of non-traditional marketing are: Person – promotes a person Place – promotes a geographical area Cause – promotes a social issue, cause, or idea Event – promotes an event Organization – promotes an organization (not business) that seeks to influence others to accept their goals.

The first thing we have to do is to take off our blinders, and confront the fact that, immigration, has been detrimental and has come at a heavy cost to African Americans. The bigger problem is that this issue will never be acknowledged, much less addressed, without influencing the existing distribution of power. With this in mind, immigrants, government leaders and activist groups can no longer distance themselves from the plight of the African Americans conditions. Given their own struggles, immigrants should be committed to the African Americans struggle for racial justice. It may an accident that made immigrants part of the problem, but it has also positioned them to be part of the solution in helping African Americans to erase the remnants…

Levitt argues his first point-of-view on the shadow of obsolescence and that "there is no such thing as a growth industry," but growth opportunities. Levitt termed the stagnation of growth industry as a self-deceiving cycle. Within this cycle, there are warning signs that tell if an industry will fail. The first sign is the population myth; the belief that a rise in population "growth is assured by an expanding and more affluent population" does not necessarily mean a rise in the demand of what a particular industry is offering. If the population increases and more people are buying products or services does not mean the business will sustain…
Shakespeare's Hamlet is a play written to make the reader or director think for himself and create what he thinks to be Hamlets tragic flaw come alive. Any argument could be well supported or demolished on quotes and actions from the text and one's interpretation of these. The bottom line is not what is Hamlet's tragic flaw, but what tragic flaw can best be supported by the reader.<br><br>Hamlet's tragic flaw is his inconsistent approach to problems. In the scenarios that may call for quick, decisive behavior, Hamlet ruminates. An example of this is seen in Act III, iii when Hamlet has his knife over the head of Claudius, prepared to murdered him, and he talks himself out of it. Another example of this is the play put on by Hamlet in Act III,…

Organisations should define their sector as much extensive as they can , because it may help them with developing their business and finding more opportunities. Levitt gives examples abut railroads which hadn’t thought about their industry as the transportation business, but as just the railroad business. Moreover, there is another similar example about Hollywood which hadn’t defined itself as the entertainment business, but as the movie business. Levitt called that as “Marketing Myopia” (Levitt 1960 p.45).…
Marketing Myopia can also be referred to as the name given to theory that some organizations the fact that to be successful, the wants of the customer needs to be there central consideration. The blind thoughts of the top executives generally play a major role in marketing myopia. They believe that they are the leaders of the market and they are the ones who controls the market. They stick to the comments like “They have nothing on us”, “That could never happen to us”, “We are our own competitors”, “Customers love our product or service regardless of what happens” these thoughts gradually leads to decline in the market share of a company.…
The author tells us that an industry starts with the customers and his needs, not by its raw materials, patent or selling skill. A competitive marketer forecasts the future existence of the company to the public not by its long years of operation, not by its company image, nor its ability to conduct tiring and expensive researches and test on its product. But its ability to forecast the future demand of the population and lining the company product and services accordingly to what the public needs.…
