A Broadened View of Marketing Tasks
Marketers are skilled in stimulating demand for their products. However, this is too
limited a view of the tasks that marketers perform. Just as production and logistics pro-
fessionals are responsible for supply management, marketers are responsible for
demand management. They may have to manage negative demand (avoidance of a
product), no demand (lack of awareness or interest in a product), latent demand (a
strong need that cannot be satisfied by existing products), declining demand (lower
demand), irregular demand (demand varying by season, day, or hour), full demand (a
satisfying level of demand), overfull demand (more demand than can be handled), or
unwholesome demand (demand for unhealthy or dangerous products). To meet the
organization’s objectives, marketing managers seek to in uence the level, timing, and
composition of these various demand states
