Sales forecasting In recent years, the growth of small firms and their importance to the nation's economies has been accompanied by a significant increase in interest in the nature of marketing practices. The mass consumer markets have become fragmented and call for flexible and adaptable marketing approaches (Baker 1995) especially to the smaller organisations (Carson et al 1995).

Therefore this study will examine the applicability and adoption of marketing in small firms as evidenced in the small manufacturer's firms in Malaysia.
