Abstract: | Three historical management orientations are compared: the production orientation; the sales orientation and the marketing orientation. The concept of technology transfer denote the transition from a production to a sales orientation. The supply-side marketing concept appears to focus on future marketing needs in order to make feasibility decisions for new technologies. While marketing is interested in current consumer needs the supply-side marketing is involved in üreating demand. Supply-side marketing risks and benefits are analyzed. Some conclusions are drawn for R and D managers to carry out certain marketing functions more efficiently. The corresponding tasks of marketing researchers are summarized. |
