1Which statement best defines marketing in a modern business sense?
A.Only the physical delivery of goods from factory to warehouse
B.Identifying customer needs and creating, communicating, and delivering value to satisfy them profitably
C.Printing product labels without studying buyers
D.Setting government tax rates on consumer goods
Explanation: Marketing centres on understanding needs and delivering customer value through product, price, place, and promotion decisions. It is broader than logistics alone, labelling alone, or public finance.
2In marketing language, a ‘need’ differs from a ‘want’ mainly because a need is:
A.Always the same as a luxury brand preference
B.A basic human requirement, while a want is a culturally shaped way of satisfying that need
C.Created only by television advertising
D.Identical to effective demand with purchasing power
Explanation: Needs are basic human requirements (food, safety, belonging). Wants are specific forms of those needs shaped by culture and personality. Demand is want backed by buying power.
3When a consumer has a desire for a product and also has the money and willingness to buy it, marketers call this:
A.Only a latent need with no market relevance
B.Demand
C.A pure want without economic meaning
D.A production schedule only
Explanation: Demand is want backed by purchasing power and willingness to buy. Marketing managers study demand, not mere wishes.
4Which of the following best distinguishes selling from marketing?
A.Selling focuses mainly on converting existing products into cash; marketing starts with customer needs and designs offerings around them
B.Marketing ignores customers while selling studies them deeply
C.Selling and marketing are identical legal terms under company law only
D.Marketing exists only after a sale is closed
Explanation: Classic teaching contrasts production/selling orientations (pushing goods) with marketing orientation (starting from customer needs). Selling is a key activity within marketing, not a full substitute for it.
5A consumer market primarily consists of:
A.Only government departments buying weapons
B.Individuals and households purchasing goods and services for personal use
C.Only factories buying raw materials for further production
D.Only exporters dealing in foreign currency
Explanation: Consumer markets are buyers purchasing for personal or household consumption. Industrial/business markets buy for production or resale; government markets are a separate institutional category.
6Industrial (business) markets are characterised mainly by buyers who:
A.Purchase only for personal household entertainment
B.Buy goods and services for use in production, operations, or resale
C.Never compare suppliers or specifications
D.Always buy only one unit of any product
Explanation: Business/industrial buyers purchase for production, operations, or resale, often with formal buying procedures and larger order sizes than typical household purchases.
7A local market, as opposed to a national market, typically means:
A.Buyers and sellers interact mainly within a limited geographic area such as a town or district
B.Only online global platforms can operate
C.The market has no products or prices
D.Only foreign tourists may buy
Explanation: Local markets are geographically limited. National markets span the whole country; global/export markets extend further.
8The marketing environment that a firm cannot fully control—such as economic conditions, technology, laws, and culture—is called the:
A.Internal sales target only
B.Macro (external) marketing environment
C.Factory floor layout alone
D.Employee attendance register
Explanation: The macro/external environment includes economic, technological, political-legal, social-cultural, and demographic forces that influence marketing decisions but are largely outside firm control.
9Which orientation places the customer at the centre of business decisions and aims for long-term relationships through value delivery?
A.Pure production orientation that ignores buyers
B.Marketing orientation (customer-centric approach)
C.Only cost-cutting with no product quality
D.Random product launch without research
Explanation: Marketing orientation focuses on customer needs, integrated marketing, and profitable customer relationships rather than merely producing more or pushing stock.
10Exchange in marketing is possible only when:
A.There is at least one party with something of value and another party willing and able to trade under mutually agreed terms
B.A government ban makes all trade illegal permanently
C.No communication exists between parties
D.Products have zero perceived value to anyone
Explanation: Exchange requires two or more parties, each offering something of value, ability to communicate and deliver, freedom to accept or reject, and desirability of dealing with each other.
