The Changing World of Marketing
No organization can avoid coming to grips with the rapidly

evolving behaviour of consumers and business customers.
They check prices at a keystroke and are increasingly
selective about which brands share their lives. They form
impressions from every encounter and post withering
online reviews these changes present significant
organizational challenges, as well as opportunities. The
biggest is that all of us have become marketers: the
critical moments of interaction, or touch points, between
companies and customers are increasingly spread across
different parts of the organization, so customer
engagement is now everyones responsibility.
Tom French, Laura LaBerge and Paul Magill

The Evolution of Marketing Thought

and Practice
Marketing Thought and Practice
- The formative years (Late 1700s-1950s)
The notion of satisfaction of consumer needs
the idea that consumer needs and wants

should be the starting point for business
thinking is certainly not revolutionary. For a
century or more, economists have made
assertions that the aim of our economic and
business structure and its functioning was the
satisfaction of consumer needs.
H.R. Tosdal, Some recent changes in the

marketing of consumer goods, Harvard Business
Review, X1, no. 2, January, 1933, p. 157.

AMAs Definitions of Marketing
The transformation in marketing thinking can be

seen in the AMAs definitions of marketing 2004 and
2007
Marketing is an organisational function and a set of
processes for creating, communicating and delivering value
to customers and for managing customer relationships in
ways that benefit the organisation and its stakeholders.
September 2004
Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes

for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging
offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners
and society at large.
October 2007
What is Strategic Marketing?
There are many definitions of strategic

marketing
Definition 1:
The process of developing and maintaining a

strategic fit between the organisations goals and
capabilities and its changing marketing
opportunities.
It relies on developing a clear company mission,
supporting objectives, a sound business portfolio
and coordinated functional strategies.
(Kotler et al. 2010)
What is Strategic Marketing? (contd)
Definition 2
A market-driven process of strategy development

that takes into account a constantly changing
business environment and the need to deliver
superior customer value.
(Cravens and Piercy 2003)
Definition 3
Using its relative corporate strengths to achieve

maximum positive differentiation over competition
in meeting customer needs
(Jain and Haley 2009)

1. Its about MARKETING
How to go about providing superior value to

your target market
2. Its about STRATEGIES
Developing specialised tools to proactively

generate targeted change.
3. And its about PLANNING
Making decisions today about being effective

and successful tomorrow.
Strategic
thinking . . . is about
synthesis. It involves intuition
and creativity.
Henry Mintzberg
H.
Mintzberg, The fall and rise of

strategic planning, Harvard Business
Review, JanuaryFebruary 1994, p. 108.
Ultimately Strategic Marketing

is all about being smarter than
your competition
(and learning how to do this)
Strategy Planning
Strategy planning is a process that embraces

two separate, but related, activities:
strategy formation deciding what to do
planning deciding how to do it
That is, planning is all about programming

strategies and then elaborating and
operationalising their consequences
Strategy is the starting point of planning.

Planning helps to translate intended
strategies into realised strategies
Marketing Decision Making
Marketing strategies may be developed as:
a part of a broader based formal strategic

planning process
a part of a broader based set of strategy

deliberations made outside of formal strategy
planning processes
a formal strategic marketing planning process
marketing strategy recommendations made

outside of formal processes
What does Strategic Marketing involve?
Collecting information
Analysing information
Deep understanding
Identifying opportunities and issues
Primary, secondary about 3Cs as well as PESTEL

environment
Using analytical models and tools
Applying creativity
Desirable, Differentiated and Defensible
What does Strategic Marketing involve?
Applying planning skills and informational inputs
Assessing industry and competitive trends
Applying foresight and creativity
Projecting market niches and market share

possibilities
Using analytical models and tools to evaluate
The internal and external situation

Alternative potential strategies to achieve desired
market positioning
Characteristics of Strategic Marketing
Emphasis on long-term implications / big picture
Competing for corporate resources to achieve

corporate objectives by the operations of a
particular business unit
Varying roles for different products and markets

NOT all trying to make buckets of money or
maximise sales
Sustainable competitive advantage
Marketings role in the organisation

Strategic Marketing is focused at the
SBU level
Organisational Level
Formal Name
Focus
Corporate
e.g. QANTAS
Corporate Marketing
Corporate issues
Why are we here
What do we want
How do we do this
Strategic Business
Unit
(e.g. In-flight
catering)
Strategic Marketing
Ensuring ongoing
overall success of an
SBU in meeting the
goals of the
corporation
Product/market
(e.g. Economy class
meals, First class
meals)
Marketing
Management

programs for specific
products
Focus of Strategic Marketing

1. Corporate Level
Management of the entire spectrum of businesses

Resource allocation, acquisitions, mergers
2. Strategic Business Unit Level
Focus on 3Cs: customer, competition,

corporation
Where to compete
How to compete
When to compete
3. Functional (individual product) level
Marketing management
Specific design of product, ad campaign etc
1 year plan
The Strategic Business Unit (SBU)
Definition:
A unit comprising one or more products having a

common market base who manager has complete
responsibility for integrating all functions into a
strategy against an identifiable competitor.
Example: QANTAS started out as an Outback airline

servicing Queensland and Northern Territory.
Expanded into a national and then an international airline.

Expanded into other areas where they believed they could operate
successfully.
Why break up a company into SBUs?
Major problems arise when trying to treat distinct businesses

in the same way.
What is required for success in one business is very different

to what is required for success in another business.
Businesses need to expand into new areas to keep growing.
Different critical success factors, different strategies required

for success, so need to be treated differently.
Unreasonable to expect any one person to have this in-depth

knowledge, and to keep up to date in all areas yet this is
what is required unless you split a business up into SBUs.
By focussing on one area, you can do it well. Try and do too

much, and you dont end up doing anything well.
How do we identify SBUs?
Breaking an organisation down into

its SBUs
1.
2.
3.
4.
Unique business mission why it exists is

different to other SBUs
Clearly definable set of competitors
SBU Manager has autonomy / authority over
resources in other areas
Competes with other SBUs within the
organisation for resources based on their
respective abilities to achieve the
corporations objectives
Summary: Strategic Marketing differs from

Marketing Management
3Cs not 4Ps
Timeframe - longer term
Ceteris Paribus (all things being equal or held

constant) assumption abandoned
Organisational behaviour / integration is the key
Creativity and originality NOT experience / control
Proactive and forward-focussed
Working on the business NOT in the business
Overview of the Unit
Strategic Marketing is all about looking out from the company at

its environment
A company should maximise the strategic fit between its own

strengths and resources and the environment in which it exists.
Its strategies need to flow directly from this if they are to succeed.
The company needs to manage ongoing change in its

environment - whether reactively or proactively
Section One (Week 1 - 6) focuses on

1) establishing exactly where the company is currently
and:
2) where it wants to be in 3-5 years.
Section Two (Week 7 - 11) focuses on how to get from

where it is now to where it wants to be what strategies
to use and issues to be aware of to generate this change.

Task
To develop an effective Strategic Marketing Plan, you must:

1) Be able to search for and locate the necessary information
(i.e. conduct secondary research)
2) Obtain this information and communicate it to others
3) Analyse this information and present it so that others can
also see the key patterns and exceptions within the
information what the information actually means for the
client.
4) Based on this come up with the key changes (i.e.
strategies) that your client must make to be successful in
the future.
