Agenda • Strategic Planning and the Marketing Process (textbook ch. 2) • Strategic planning process at corporate level • Marketing management process • Video case
Strategic Planning and Marketing Process • Strategic planning • The process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the organization’s goal and capabilities and its changing marketing opportunities • Why strategic planning? • Clarify objectives and policies • Better coordination of efforts • Help companies respond quickly to changes • “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”
Levels of Strategic Planning • Corporate Level • Company Mission • Company Goals • Business Portfolio • Strategic business unit (SBU) level • A strategic business unit is a unit of the company that has a separate mission and objectives and that can be planned independently from other company businesses. • A SBU can be a company division, a product line within a division, or a single product or brand. • Sony: TVs, video game consoles, DVD players, Hi-Fi speakers.
Corporate Strategic Planning Corporate level strategy 1. Defining the Company Mission 2. Setting Corporate goals 3. Designing the Business Portfolio
Corporate Strategic Planning • Defining the company mission • Mission statement • A statement of the organization’s long-term vision • Mission statements should . . . • serve as a guide for what the organization wants to accomplish. • be motivating. • EX: Coca-Cola “to put Coke with arm’s reach of every consumer in the world” • be neither too narrow, nor too broad. • fit with the market environment. • be “market-oriented” rather than “product-oriented”.
Corporate Mission Change • Company mission may change over time • To explore new opportunities • To respond to market change • Amazon.com changes its mission from “become the world’s largest online bookstore” to “become the world’s largest online store”.
Corporate Strategic Planning 2. Setting corporate goals • Goals covert the mission into targeted level of performance to be achieved • More specific, actionable than mission statement • Examples of corporate goals • Profit, sales revenue, market share, unit sales, employee welfare, social responsibilities, survival
Goals should be SMART Specific “To achieve sales of $125,000” rather than “We want to be leaders” Measurable Goals should have quantifiable dimensions Achievable Goals should be feasible Realistic Goals should be meaningful Time-based Goals should have time frames “We will achieve sales of $125,000 in the first year of operations” Specific it measures sales Measurable $125,000 target Achievable ? Realistic sales are important Time-based one-year time frame Setting Corporate Goals
3. Designing Business Portfolio • Business portfolio is the collection of businesses and products that make up the company. • GE Applicances, GE Aircraft Engines, GE Captial, GE Lighting,GE Medical Systems, GE Plastics, etc.
Portfolio Analysis • A tool by which management identifies and evaluates SBU’s. • Two steps: • 1. analyze its current business portfolio or Strategic Business Units (SBU’s), and decide which SBU’s should receive more, less, or no investment: BCG Matrix • 2. develop growth strategies for adding new products or businesses to the portfolio: product/market expansion grid
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix • Developed by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a leading management consulting firm. • Analyze a firm’s strategic business units and advise a firm to locate the positions of each SBUs. • Used by more than 75% of the largest U.S. firms • Step 1: Analyze the Current Business Portfolio • Identifies Strategic Business Units • Each SBU is classified according to • Relative market share • Growth Rate of the industry

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix • Step 2: Shape the future Business Portfolio • Determine the future role of each SBU and choose the appropriate resource allocation strategy: • Build: Investing more to build its share • May be good for question marks • Question markets may grow to stars • Hold: Defending the share at the current level • May be good for cash cows • Harvest: Milking its short-term cash flow • Eliminating R&D expenditures, reducing advertising expenditures • May be good for weak cash cows • Can also be used for dogs and question marks. • Divest: selling or phasing out the SBU • Good for dogs and question marks. • SBUs change positions over time
