However, there is some overlap between the stages, as a person may have different needs occurring at one time.
This theory can be applied to consumer goods and services and used to interpret how they each satisfy a consumer’s different level of need.
When applying Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to an ATC production a consumer must have:
