  45. Defining Implementation “Marketing strategy concerns the issues of whatshould happen and whyit should happen. Implementation focuses on actions:who is responsible for various activities, howthe strategy should be carried out, where things will happen and whenactions will take place.” Jobber (1998)

  46. Key Issues • IMPLEMENTATION • Success is dependent on the ability to translate a marketing strategy into a series of practical & actionable steps (tactics) • CONTROL • Success is maintained by continually monitoring progress to ensure that the plan still fits the prevailing market conditions
