o Failure to adequately define, understand, anticipate and/or respond to the marketplace and marketplace dynamics o Narrowly focusing on one aspect of the organization, rather than taking a balanced approach o Causes: organizational inertia, internal focus is easier, each function has its own ideas, human judgment is involved • Market oriented firm vs. technology oriented firm

• Dangers of R & D
o Don’t pay too much attention to r & d at the expense of considering marketing o Don’t believe that a great product will sell itself
