PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING WARFARE In Marketing Warfare Al Ries and Jack Trout argue that marketing is war and that the marketing concept's customer-oriented philosophy is inadequate. Rather, firms would do better by becoming competitor-oriented. If the key to success were to introduce products closest to those wanted by customers, then the market leader simply would be the firm that performed the best market research. Clearly, much more is required. •There are 4 principles of Marketing Warfare a)Defensive Warfare b)Offensive Warfare c)Flanking Warfare d)Guerilla Warfare
