Any pros for the traditional method of product development and marketing? Not that I am a proponent, but that form of business has been around a long time. How did they focus their development and marketing? They didn't just do it in a vacuum.

From a consumer point of view I think it for some product categories could be an advantage when companies applies a traditional approach. With such an approach all the effort is put into developing a product that is of high quality in order to be able to sell it, rather than applying an approach of developing a product that for sure will sell no matter the quality. The latter approach may result in a product of less quality.

pros-
1. easy to manage.
2. as resources are seriously limited, more effective.
cons-
as mentioned by Dr. Rust.
Recently, this has become a common trend in the B2B world. In this way, managers encourage customers to move from less-profitable “Brand A” to more-profitable “Brand B”, whereas traditionally, brand manager would encourage customers to stay for their own brand profit.
