Won’t happen if the customer is satisfied with ur product

Marketing Myopia
- A too narrow industry definition sets restrictions to managerial thinking & strategy
formulation & can lead to the loss of customers & the extinction of the company.
- Be customer-oriented instead of product-oriented
constantly looking for opportunities to apply their technical know-how to the creation
of customer-satisfying uses that account for the output of successful new products
- The self-deceiving cycle of bountiful expansion & undetected decay (4 conditions)
o Population myth
Assumption that profits are secured by the population growth
Lead to a lack of innovation (competitor gains advantage)
o Lack of perceived and credible substitutes for the industry’s major product
Believe there is no competitive substitute
Blinded from accepting other alternative products
o Faith in mass production & the benefits of reducing unt costs as output rises
Leads to an emphasis on selling the product instead of marketing it
Product-oriented instead of customer-oriented
prevents from the prodct to adapt to changing customer tastes
o Risk involved in R&D
Being too focused on product/price reductions
- The company as a whole must exist in order to create value for customers
Strategic insight in three circles
