A case is developed for some basic changes in the conceptual repertoire of the marketing discipline in view of the changes in the economic and social environment in India today. It is argued that the adaptation of existing marketing concepts, techniques, and institutions is not enough because these concepts are rooted in a type of economic environment quite different from that prevailing in most Third World countries. Some guidelines are presented along which changes can be effected in the marketing discipline so as to make it more relevant and realistic.
