Key Points
● A market is one of many varieties of systems, institutions, procedures, social
relations, and infrastructures whereby parties engage in exchange.
● Many companies today have a customer focus (or market orientation). This implies
that the company focuses its activities and products on consumer demands.
● Market research is for discovering what people want, need, and believe; and how
they behave.
● Market segmentation is the division of the market or population into subgroups with
similar motivations.

services
