A: What concept should direct marketing efforts?
В: Досить очевидно, що вся діяльність у сфері маркетингу має здійснюватися в межах якоїсь одної концепції. Існує п'ять основних філософій, на підставі яких комерційні організації здійснюють свою маркетингову діяльність.
A: What are they?
В: Це концепція вдосконалення виробництва, концепція вдосконалення товару, концепція інтенсифікації комерційних зусиль, концепція маркетингу та соціального маркетингу.
A: What do you know about these philosophies?
В: Ці концепції репрезентують різні періоди в історії економіки та основні соціальні, економічні та політичні зміни за останні п'ятдесят років. Загальна тенденція розвитку — зміщення акценту з виробництва на комерційні зусилля, на споживача і все більша орієнтація на проблеми споживача та суспільства.
A: The selling concept and the marketing concept are frequently confused. Do you know the difference between them?
В: їх розрізняють таким чином. Комерційні зусилля зі збуту — це зосередженість на потребах продавця, а маркетинг — це концентрація на потребах покупця. Комерційні зусилля зі збуту — це турбота про потреби продавця, які стосуються перетворення товару в готівку, а маркетинг — це турбота про задоволення потреб клієнта за допомогою товару та цілої низки факторів, пов'язаних зі створенням, постачанням і, нарешті, споживанням цього товару.
А: І see. Thus the marketing concept in its essence is the orientation to consumer wants and needs.
В: Абсолютно правильно. Концепція маркетингу — це орієнтація на потреби споживачів, яка підкріплена комплексними зусиллями маркетингу, націленими на задоволення запитів споживачів, і є основою для досягнення цілей організації.

XV. Read the following text and give a short summary of it:
MARKETING INACTION: POLAROID ADOPTS MARKETING CONCEPT
Some companies such as Polaroid have only recently adopted the marketing concept. Edwin H. Land, the Inventor of the Polaroid Instant camera and founder of Polaroid Corp., believed that marketing success was based on the development of Innovative products that consumer would then be persuaded to purchase. Under his leadership and direction, Polaroid used little or no marketing research. This production and sales orientation worked as long as Land could improve his Instant camera and as long as use of traditional cameras was complicated and the delay in developing pictures was long. When easy to use, computer-controlled 35-mm cameras were Inverted and 1-hour photo processing centers began to spring up around the country, however, the market for instant photography faltered.
Land left Polaroid in 1980, after the company lost approximately $ 300 million on Polavision — an instant home movie camera. Industry analysts acknowledged that Polavision was a technological success, but there was no market for the product. With the departure of Land, William J. McCune became president and brought the marketing concept to Polaroid.
Under McCune's direction the company's approach to product development became more pragmatic. Now Polaroid begins by targeting a market need: for example, the need to convert graphic computer displays to color slides, for which the company developed Palette, which sells for $ 1,499. The product development efforts at Polaroid involve the integrated efforts of the engineering, marketing and manufacturing operations. Under Land's direction, these three domains were independent and had little or no contact with each other.
