Formulation of Response Strategies A BRIEF HISTORY OF MARKETING STRATEGY By: Schnaars Chapter 2 The Free Press Different Usage of the Term “Marketing Strategy” Marketing Strategy at Macro Level: • Identification of target market(s) and designing an appropriate marketing mix for that market(s). There are also marketing element strategies: For example: skimming vs. penetration price strategies Finally, Product-market Entry Strategies Historical Trends in Marketing Strategy 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s Budgeting Search for overall Corp. Strategy Long Range Planning Formula Planning Strategic Thinking Budgeting • No explicit strategy • Emphasis on control rather than strategy An interest in integrating functions of organization: production, finance, marketing etc. Key Characteristics of Long-Range Planning • Objectives and Goals • Long-Range Forecasting Formula Planning (1970s) Decline of Formula Planning Theoretical but Impractical The notion that an effective strategy can be constructed by someone in an ivory tower is totally bankrupt. •Ritualistic Rather than Useful (planning became ritualistic and mechanistic) (Relied on data rather than marketing instincts. Moved away from customers and competitors) • Problems with forecasting Strategic Thinking • From Forecasting to Competitive Advantage • From elitism to egalitarianism •From competitors to competitors and consumers •From calculation to creativity What is competitive Advantage? Competitive advantage is something that allows a firm to earn higher-than-average profits What is Strategy? The art and science of adapting and coordinating resources to the attainment of an objective. Three Recurring Themes • Environmental analysis • Firm’s resources • Objective and goals Adapted To Resources Opportunity To Attain Objectives A company can outperform rivals only if it can establish a difference that it can preserve. The essence of strategy is choosing to perform activities differently than rivals do. According to Porter (HBR 1996) Strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position, involving a different set of activities. Strategic Positions Can Be Based On: 1. Variety-based Positioning ex. Jiffy Lube 2. Needs-based Positioning (segmentation) ex. Ikea 3. Access-based Positioning ex. Carmike Cinemas Porter’s Main Points: 1. Distinguish between Operational efficiency and strategy 2. Identify a unique strategic position 3. Consider trade-offs (do not be Jack of all trades.) 4. Strategic positions should have a horizon of a decade or more. The components of strategy 1. Scope (industries, products market segments etc.) 2. Goals and objectives 3. Resource deployment 4. Identification of a sustainable competitive advantage 5. Synergy (the whole becomes grater than sum of its parts Three Organizational Levels 1. Corporate Level (Corporate strategy) 2. Business Level (Business-level strategy) 3. Product Level (functional strategies) Strategic Planning at the Corporate Level STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS (AT CORPORATE LEVEL) CORPORATE MISSION PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS S.B.U.

The environment is the totality of forces that are external and potentially relevant to the particular agent. Rapid Change of Environmental Forces 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Economy Technology Governmental Regulation Cultural Environment Political Environment To Identify Environmental Forces, Ask Two Questions 1. Can I do anything about it? 2. Does it matter relative to my objective? Environmental Forces CHARACTERISTICS: 1. Environmental Forces are boundless 2. It is difficult to detect and interpret environmental forces 3. Environmental forces are difficult to control 4. Since environmental forces are diverse, it requires diversity of expertise to handle these forces.

Environmental Scanning 2. Key Environmental Issue Identification 3. Impact Evaluation 4. Formulation of a Response Strategy Alternative approaches to environmental Scanning Nature of Scanning Activity: Irregular Ad-hoc studies Regular Periodically updated studies Continuos Structured data collection and processing system Scope of Scanning Specific Events Selected Elements Broad range of environmental components Impetus for scanning Crisis initiated Problem areas planning process Strategic Orientation Reactive Proactive Proactive Time frame for data Retrospective Current and retrospective Current and prospective Time frame for decision impact Current and near term Near term Long term Organizational Responsibility Specially designed teams Various staff services Environmental Scanning Unit Which of these three environmental scanning approaches is suitable for your organization? Answer: Depends on the firm’s potential vulnerability to environmental forces Key environmental Issue Identification Somehow the system (the firm) must determine: 1. The probability that an issue can materialize into a threat or an opportunity; 2. The degree of impact it can have on the firm. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IDENTIFICATION PROBABILITY HIGH HIGH LOW 1 9 6 2 IMPACT LOW Few examples: 1. Interstate barriers to bank are lowered 6. Antitrust actions are taken against large banks 9. Government regulation favors non-bank financial institutions 2. Technological breakthroughs occur in information processing Impact Evaluation You have to answer the following questions: 1. Does the issue represents a threat or opportunity? 2. How significant will its impact on the performance of the firm? 3. What is the likely timing of the impact 4. What specific marketing areas will be affected? Profit impact 30% 20% 10% 0 Issue A Uncertainty on timing 5 year -10 -20 -30 Issue B Uncertainty on impact C Time horizon 10 year 15 year Formulation of a Response Strategy Reactive Strategy Proactive Strategy Response Strategies to Environmental Issues: 1. Opposition 2. Adaptation (N. Rifle A.) (usually compulsory ex. Auto industry mandatory fuel standards) 3. Offensive Strategy Waste Management Inc.: How to improve waste disposal? 4. Redeployment Strategy: Example Tobacco Industry and diversification 5. Contingency Strategy: If saccharin is band in drugs foods, soft drinks, etc. 6. Passive strategy: (do nothing wait and see strategy)
