The major task of the management was to strive constantly to increase production and there was no selling or marketing problems This concept may boost the sales in the initial stages but it invites the criticism that it is impersonal in its approach and ignores the interests of the consumers .

  34. Product concept With passage of time , it realised that it is not only the quantity of production but also the quality of the product that is important. The product concept assumes that the consumer will respond favorably to the best quality products that’s are reasonably priced and hence major task of the management is to improve the quality of the product it offers to successfully attract and hold customers.
