Why Strategic Market Management? • Precipitate the consideration of strategic choices. • Help a business cope with change. • Force a long-range view. • Make visible the resource allocation decision. • Aid strategic analysis and decision making. • Provide a strategic management and control system. • Provide both horizontal and vertical communication and coordination systems.
Key Learnings • Strategy needs to succeed in a dynamic market. • A business strategy includes the determination of the product-market scope and its dynamics (as reflected in the intensity of the business investment), the customer value proposition, assets and competencies, and functional strategies and programs. • External analysis includes analyses of customers, competitors, markets, and the environment. Internal analysis includes a performance appraisal and an examination of organizational strengths, weaknesses, problems, constraints, and strategic options. • The role of these analyses is to identify existing or emerging opportunities, threats, trends, strategic uncertainties, and strategic options. • The marketing team needs to be a partner in strategy and by involved in overcoming silo barriers.
