Suppose you want a snack after taking this exam—a pan pizza from dominos, which is located across the street from your college of business classroom. unfortunately, you forgot your wallet in the haste of getting to class on time to take the test. therefore, you have no means to pay for the pizza. which of the following reasons explain why marketing fails to occur here between you and dominos?

a. there are not two or more parties with unsatisfied needs.

b. the ability to satisfy a need is missing.

c. a desire to satisfy a need is missing.

d. no assessments of consumer wants and needs have been made.

e. there is no way for the parties involved to communicate.

b. The ability to satisfy a need is missing

Explanation:

The desire is there but the means to satisfy this need or desire is missing.

You desire or you need this pizza for a snack and surely if the money was available you were going to buy it but in the absence of cash you can not fulfill the marketing process between you and Dominos.

This is one of the things that may be stumbling blocks between customers and businesses sometimes people are willing to buy but the lack of having means to buy result to a failure in marketing .

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
