More and more organizations, both profit and not-for-profit, realize that they have to offer their customers a unique value if they want to be and remain successful. This requires an organization to make choices. What value does the organization wants to provide and what value is the organization able to provide? This also implies the exclusion of activities. Strategic marketing deals with this selection process involved.
You will work as a marketer in a small decision-making unit of a manufacturer within a competitive industry. Participants are faced with planning, implementation and evaluation processes, involving ongoing marketing, competitive and financial analysis, as well as coordination of marketing programs and operations capabilities (capacity and inventory management, sales forecasting and so on). These efforts lead to the development of marketing strategies which are implemented within short-term and long-term marketing plans.
This course has a very practical approach to strategic marketing management. In teams you run a challenging marketing simulation. Your team manages a firm in the set-top industry and will compete to other teams in the group. Your goal is to improve your firm's long-run financial performance. The performance of your team will be evaluated via a multi-factor, balanced scorecard evaluation system that includes financial, operational, and customer-facing performance metrics. Will you be in the winning team at the end of the week?
