1、附录 A Strategic marketing Abstract: In order for an organizations marketing effort to be successful, it needs to be based on a strategic marketing plan to help ensure that the goals and objectives of the effort are appropriate to the needs of the marketplace. Strategic marketing examines the marketpl

2、ace to determine the needs of potential customers, the strategy and market position of the competitors, and attempts to develop a strategy that will enable the organization to gain or maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. There are a number of factors that should impact the developmen

3、t of a strategic marketing plan. These include internal factors such as the assets and skills of the organization and the organizational culture as well as external factors such as various market drivers, market or industry lifestyle, strategic windows, and the nature of the competition. An optimal

4、strategic marketing plan will also follow a contingency approach that allows flexibility in meeting the unique set of factors that govern the marketplace and the organizations viability within.

This communication is the responsibility of the marketing

According to the American Marketing Association, marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeh

Strategic marketing examines the marketplace to determine the needs of potential customers and the nature of the competitors in the market, and attempts to develop a strategy that will enable the organization to gain or maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Operational marketi

8、ng is built upon the foundation set by the strategic marketing function and implements various plans and strategies (including a development of the appropriate marketing mix) to attract customers and foster customer loyalty. Methods for Product & Service Marketing There a number of ways to market on

However, unless one understands the needs of the customer, the market, and the industry as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the competition, these approaches are unlikely to be successful. Strateg

10、ic marketing helps an organization sharpen its focus and successfully compete in the marketplace. Strategic marketing is concerned with two components: The target market and the best way to communicate the value of ones product or service to that market. The development of a viable marketing strateg

11、y depends on several key dimensions. First, as with any global strategy within the organization, a successful marketing strategy needs to be endorsed by top management within the organization. Marketing strategy is also political in nature: Powerful units within the organization may disagree on the

12、best marketing strategy and an accord may need to be negotiated. Marketing strategies may also be affected by organizational culture and the assumptions that this engenders. For example, if the organization has always marketed its widgets to business executives, it may fail to see the potential for

13、marketing to lower level personnel within the organization or even for personal use to adults or teenagers. Factors that Implement Strategic Marketing Plan Development There are a number of factors that should impact the development of a strategic marketing plan for the organization. The first of th

14、ese comprises the assets and skills that the organization already possesses or that it can readily acquire. For example, if an organization has a significant programming department on the payroll, it would be feasible for it to make and market application software. However, if these personnel are al

15、ready involved in other work and are not free to work on a new software project and the organization cannot afford to hire additional programmers, starting a new software line would be inadvisable at best. The second factor that must be considered when developing a marketing strategy is the market d

16、rivers. These are various political, economic, sociocultural, and technological forces that can influence the wants and needs of the consumer base. For example, the need to be able to handle increasing volumes of information and data has led to widespread use of information technology in many indust

17、ries. Similarly, the need for a college education for an increasing number of jobs has led to a proliferation of for-profit institutions of higher education. Factors Impacting Marketing Strategy Market drivers, however, are not the only external force that shapes ones market strategy. The nature of

18、the competition in the marketplace is also very important in determining whether or not a marketing effort will be successful. Virtually no business is without competition. When buying a computer, one must choose between Mac and PC. Most soft drinks on the market are manufactured by one of two compa

19、nies who offer very similar products. There is a variety of choices available when deciding where to fill up ones car, yet most of the fuels available at the pump are virtually the same. Each of these businesses has its own market position and strives to keep its market share through marketing effor

20、ts. Part of the strategic marketing effort is to decide how best to differentiate oneself from the competition. Another external factor that impacts how one can best position oneself in the market is the stage of the market or the industry life cycle. Some organizations excel, for example, at being

21、the first on the market with an innovation or new product. Others excel at taking the innovation and adapting it to the needs of the marketplace (e.g., lower price, different features). In addition, there are various strategic windows that affect an organizations ability to successfully compete in t

22、he marketplace. A strategic window is a limited time period during which there is an optimal fit between the needs of the marketplace and the competencies of the organization. For example, as computer storage technology continues to evolve, the methods by which people store data and information change. Punch cards and magnetic tape gave way to 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch disks. Today, more and more people are storing data and information on memory sticks instead, and many computers are not even made with disk drives. The concept of using punch cards is as foreign and antiquated in most
