,The 3 components of market orientation
− Customer orientation
Developing and redeveloping offerings to meet customer
needs. So measure customer satisfaction on a continuous
basis and train our service staff
− Competitor orientation
understanding of its competitors’1 short-term strengths and
weaknesses, and its own long-term capabilities and
strategies
− Interfunctional coordination
requiring all an organization’s functions to work together for
long-term profit growth
Customer centricity
= you put the customer at the centre of everything you do
→ try NOT to please ALL customers because it is impossible (fulfilling needs in a profitable way)
