MASLOW
Who is MaslowWho is Maslow- he was an American Psychologist from the 1950’s
- he developed a theory on human’s hierarchy of needs
BBI2O Unit 1 Subunit 1.A 13
THE PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS(need for food,water, shelter and clothing)
The most basic need-we cannot move up
to fulfill our other needs until this
one is fulfilled.
BBI2O Unit 1 Subunit 1.A 14
THE PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS(need for food,water, shelter and clothing)
SECURITY NEED(need for personal security in a family and society that
protects against violence and hunger)

current level are not a priority

THINK ABOUT …What does this mean for
business?Maslow’s Hierarchy … impact on business• Physiological needs -
• Safety needs -
• Love & Belonging needs -
• Esteem needs -
• Self-Actualization needs -
BBI2O Unit 1 Subunit 1.A 19
Maslow’s Hierarcy … impact on business1.Physiological needs - wife/child-abuse help-lines,
social security benefits, roadside assistance 2.Safety needs - home security products,
insurance3.Love & Belonging needs - dating and match-
making services, chat-lines, clubs and membership societies
4.Esteem needs - cosmetics, fast cars, home improvements, furniture, fashion,
5.Self-Actualization needs – University … Rosetta Stone? (since very few people reach this level , it’s less lucrative for businesses, therefore fewer products are developed to satisfy this need)
What does this mean for business
