2) The marketplace condition after World War II that gave rise to the need for consumer orientation by business was the shift from a seller's market to a buyer's market. When WWII ended, factories stopped producing war related materials and started producing consumer products again. Because it was now a buyer's market where there were more goods and services available, companies had to market their goods and services, not just produce them.
