It ignores the question of company capabilities and limitations. It does not specify which customers a firm should focus its attention on. It assumes a causative relationship between customer orientation and profitability without an underlying argument or proof. It assumes that customer can articulate their needs and wants and does not consider how to anticipate customer needs, especially in the case of rapidly developing technology. It has weak strategic content. It does not define a good strategy or how to develop one. Promotion Product Marketing Mix Place Price Webster, F. E.
