    Corporate Marketing planning

    The process by which an organization sets its long termpriorities regarding products and markets in order toenhance the value of the overall company

    Two kinds of decisions are involved:

    1. Corporate strategy

    2. Product mix strategy

    In corporate strategy, management identifies thebusiness in which the company will be involved in

    future by specifyinga) The range of markets to be served

    b) The kinds of products to be offered

    Corporate Marketing planning

    Product mix strategy identify the role eachproduct is expected to play in building the valueof the business. It should specify

    a) The relative share of the firms resources to bedevoted to each product or product line

    b) The kind of contribution ( rapid sales growth orhigh profitability) that each product or productline is expected to make toward building the

    companys value The product mix strategy provide guidance tomiddle level managers about topmanagements expectations

    Three Levels of Strategy

    Corporate Level

    Composed principally of Board of Directors, CEO and Administrativeofficers

    Responsible for firms Financial Performance and Non Financial Goals

    In multi business firms:

    Determine what business to be involved What markets to enter

    How to grow the business:

    - Vertical Integration

    - Horizontal integration

    - Diversification- Develop synergies between the various units ( economies of scope)

    Set objectives for various business units

    Determine investment priorities using portfolio models for various units

    Three Levels of Strategy

    Business Level Strategies

    Composed principally of business and corporate managers

    Translate the statements of direction and intent generated at corporatelevel into concrete objectives and strategies for individual divisions orSBUs

    Determine how the division or SBU will compete in the product- marketarena

    Strive to identify and secure the most promising market segment withinthat arena

    Common business level strategies are:

    Overall low cost leadership

    Differentiation Focus

    a. Low cost focus

    b. Focus differentiation

    Three Levels of Strategy

    Functional Level Strategies

    Develop annual objectives and short-term

    strategies in functional areas

    Their principal responsibility is to implement

    or execute the firms strategic plans

    They a address issues relating to efficiencyand effectiveness of their functional activities

    in increasing the firms profitability

    Mission statement is declaration of an organizations reason for being

    A clear mission statement is essential for effectivelyestablishing objectives and formulating strategies

    It is usually broad in scope for at-least two reasons1. A good mission statement allows for the generation

    and consideration of range of feasible alternativeobjectives and strategies without stifling managementcreativity.

    2. Excess specificity would limit the potential growth forthe organization. On the other hand an overly generalstatement that does not exclude any strategyalternative should be dysfunctional

    Developing Vision and Mission

    A strategic vision describes the route a companyintends to take in developing and strengtheningits business. It lays out the companys strategic

    course in preparing for the future. Involves thinking strategically about

    Future direction of company

    Threat of new entrants

    New entrants to an industry brings new capacity, a desire to gainmarket share, and substantial resources. They are threat to anestablished firm

    The threat of an entry depends on the presence of entry barriersand the reaction that can be expected from existing competitors

    An entry barrier is an obstruction that makes it difficult for acompany to enter an industry

    Possible barriers to entry are:1. Economies of scale: ( Entry barriers high if existing firms have cost

    advantage because of economy of scales)2. Product differentiation: ( Products of firms sold on the basis of

    differentiation or as commodity, if commodity entry barriers arelow)

    3. Capital Requirement:4. Switching Cost ( the ease with which the new product can easilyreplace the existing firms products)

    5. Access to distribution channels: ease with which a new firm canobtain distribution and proper shelf space):

    Rivalry Among Existing Firms

    In most industries corporations are mutuallydependent

    A competitive move by one firm can be expected tohave a noticeable effect on the competitors andcause retaliation or counter efforts

    Intense rivalry is related to several factors:1. Number of competitors of equal size:2. Rate of Industry Growth3. Product or service characteristics (Specialty vs.

    commodity)4. Amount of fixed cost:5. Capacity increase by one firm6. Height of Exit barriers

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    19/59

    Buyers affect an industry through their ability to force downprices, bargain for higher quality or more services, and playcompetitors against each other.

    A buyer or group of buyers are powerful if:1. A buyer purchase a large proportion of sellers product or service2. A buyer has the potential to integrate backward by producing the

    product itself3. Alternate suppliers are plentiful because product is standard orundifferentiated

    4. Switching cost of changing supplier low5. The purchased product represent a high percentage of buyers

    cost, thus providing a incentive to shop around6. A buyer earns low profits and thus is very sensitive to costs and

    service differences7. The purchased product is unimportant to the final quality or priceof a buyers product or services and thus can be easilysubstituted without affecting the final product adversely

    Bargaining Power of Buyers

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    20/59

    Suppliers can affect an industry through their ability toraise prices, or reduce the quality of purchased goodsand services.

    Supplier group is powerful if some of the followingfactors apply:

    1. The supplier industry is dominated by a few companies2. The product or service is unique or has a built in

    switching costs ( word processing software)3. Substitutes are not available ( electricity)4. Suppliers are able to integrate forward and compete

    directly with their present customers5. A purchasing industry buys a small portion of the

    suppliers groups goods and services and is thusunimportant to the supplier.

    Competitor Analysis

    Identifying Key Success factors within the industry Key success factors are those variables that can affect

    significantly the overall competitive position of allcompanies within that industry

    Usually determined by the economic and technological

    characteristics of the industry and by competitive weaponson which on which the industry have built their strategies Examples: Low cost Extensive distribution

    1. In column 1 (key success factors) list 6 8 factors that appear to determinecurrent and expected success in the industry

    2. In column 2 ( weight) assign a weight to each factor from 1.0 ( most important)to 0.0 (least or not important) based on the factors probable impact on theoverall industrys current and future success. All weight must sum to 1.0regardless of the number strategic factors)

    3. In Column 3 (Company A rating) examines a particular company within theindustry. Assign a rating of 4 for outstanding to 1.0 for poor

    4. In column 4, ( company A weighted score) multiply the weight in column 2 foreach factor times in column 3 to obtain that factors weighted score forcompany A. This result in a weighted score for each key success factor rangingfrom 4 (outstanding) to 1.0 to poor

    5. In column 5 ( company B rating) examine a second company within the industry. Assign rating to each key success factor from 41 based on the companys Bcurrent response to each particular factor

    6. In Column 6, ( company B weighted Score) multiply the weight in column 2 foreach factor times its rating in column 5 to obtain that factors weighted score

    7. Add the weighted scores for all the factors in column 4 and 6 to determine thetotal weighted score for each company.8. The total weighted score indicates how well each company is responding to

    current and expected key success factor in the industry environment

    Using Resources to Gain competitive

    advantage1. Identify and classify the firms resources in terms of

    strengths and weaknesses2. Combine the firms strengths into specific capabilities.

    Core competencies are the things that a corporation cando exceedingly well. Distinctive competencies aresuperior to competitors and provide the firm with

    competitive advantage3. Appraise the profit potential of these resources andcapabilities in terms of their potential for sustainablecompetitive advantage and the ability to harvest theprofits resulting from the use of these resources andcapabilities

    4. Select the strategy that best exploits the firms resourcesand capabilities relative to external opportunities

    Types of Corporate strategies

    Organizations have two fundamental directionsin which to proceed when selecting a corporatestrategy

    1. Growth

    Growth strategy is one in which sales growth (usually from new products or markets)becomes a vehicle for achieving a stability orenhanced profitability

    2. Consolidation The firm seek to achieve current goals

    (especially enhanced profits) through non-growth

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    34/59

    Basic types of corporate strategies

    Growth Strategies: For current markets- Market penetration- Product development- Vertical integration

    For new markets- Market development- Market expansion- Diversification- Strategic alliances

    Consolidation- Retrenchment- Pruning- Divestment

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    35/59

    1. Market penetration Aims at increasing sales of existing products in the

    current market Is achieved by increasing the level of marketing effort (

    increasing advertisement, distribution, number of sales

    personnel) It is essentially a status quo because it requires no change

    in firms products or services As long as the current performance is sound, and the

    environment supports growth and profits opportunities,a firm may want to stick to its basic business

    Market penetration may not be feasible when a brandreaches a practical ceiling of sales

    Growth strategies for Current Market

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    36/59

    2. Product Development Involves the development of new product for existing

    markets in order to:- Meet customer needs- March new competitive offerings

    - Take advantage of new technology- Meet the needs of specific market segments The strategy involves replacing or reformulating existing

    products or expanding the product line Product development is appropriate when changing needs

    and tastes result in the emergence of new segments or; when competitive and technological changes motivate

    firms to modify their product lines

    Growth strategies for Current Market

    Growth strategies for Current Market

    3. Vertical Integration: To make a firm more efficient in serving existing markets.

    Such integration is is accomplished when a firm becomesits own supplier( Backward integration) or intermediary (

    forward integration) These strategies will be most appropriate when theultimate markets have high growth potential, becauseintegration requires extensive resources

    In practice, vertical integration is not nearly as simple as

    other current market strategies because the skills requiredfor forward or backward integration may be very different

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    38/59

    Growth Strategies for New Markets

    1. Market Development: Bringing current products to new markets

    Management will employ this strategy

    when:- existing products are stagnant

    - Market share increases are difficult toachieve because market shares are already

    very high or competitors are very strong This strategy can be implemented by

    identifying new uses or new users

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    39/59

    Growth Strategies for New Markets

    2. Market Expansion: Moving into new geographic market areas International market expansion can be pursued at three

    levels:- Regional strategy implies that a company will concentrate

    its resources and efforts in one or two areas- Multinational strategies (multi-domestic) involves a

    commitment to a broad range of national marketsincluding those in Europe. Asia, and the Americas. Suchfirms organize their businesses around nations so thatseparate marketing strategies (including range ofproducts to offer) are left largely to local subsidiary

    - Global strategy is employed when an organizationoperates in a broad set of markets but with a commonset of strategic principles

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    40/59

    Growth Strategies for New Markets

    . Diversification strategy: A strategy that involves both new products and new

    markets

    This strategy is likely to be chosen when one or more

    of the following conditions exist- No other growth opportunities can be established

    with existing products or markets

    - The firm has unstable sales or profits because it

    operates in markets that are characterized by unstableenvironments

    - The firm wishes to capitalize on a distinctivecompetence

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    41/59

    Growth Strategies for New Markets

    Types of diversification

    a) Related Diversification

    - Company taking advantage of manufacturing

    technology, Research and Developmentdistribution, customers to get economies ofscope

    b. Unrelated /Conglomerate diversification:

    - Adding new and unrelated products to newcustomers

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    42/59

    Three types of consolidation strategiesi. Retrenchment

    Essentially the opposite of market development

    A firm reduces its commitment to its existing products bywithdrawing from weaker markets

    This strategy is pursued when a firm has experienced unevenperformance in different markets

    ii. Pruning :

    When a firm reduces the number of products offered in a market

    Opposite to product development and occurs when a firm

    decides that some market segments are too small or too costlyto operate

    Consolidation strategies

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    43/59

    Consolidation strategies

    Divestment; When a firm sells off a part of its business to

    another organization Divestment is opposite to diversification as the

    firm is taking itself out of a particular market

    A firm typically pursues divestment strategieswhen management becomes aware that:

    - A particular business is not meeting theorganizations objectives

    - A diversification strategy has ailed. This is morelikely to happen when the business does not fitthe organizations competencies and when topmanagement fails to appreciate the kinds ofskills central to success in that market

    Product Life Cycle

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    45/59

    Product Life Cycle

    Plays an important part in the development of product mixstrategy

    It helps in identifying the significance of sales trends and toassess the changing nature of competition, costs, and marketopportunities over time

    1. Introduction

    The product is new to the market No direct competition Buyers must be educated about what the product does, how it is

    used, and where to buy it2. Growth:

    Product is more widely known Sales grow rapidly because new buyers enter the market andbuyer find many ways to use the product

    Many competitors enter the market Major marketing task is to build market share

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    46/59

    Product Life Cycle

    3. Maturity: Sales growth levels off as nearly all potential buyers

    have entered the market Consumers are knowledgeable about the alternatives

    Repeat purchase dominate the sales, and productinnovations are restricted to minor improvements Only the strongest competitors survive4. Decline> Sales slowly declines because of changing buyer

    needs or because of introduction of new productsthat are sufficiently different to have their own lifecycles

    Product life cycle

    Product life cycleDifferent Definitions of Relevant Markets

    LevelIllustrative Measure(s)

    Product Form Sale of regular tea, or decaffeinated tea, or

    herbal tea

    Product Class Sale of tea

    Generic Need Sales of all beverages

    Managers could select from different portrayal of life cycle for a given

    product

    An executive at a company that makes tea could consider three

    different levels of the markets in which the product competes when

    measuring unit sales. The decision involved in selecting a level is

    known as determining the relevant market

  • 8/2/2019 Lecture 2 Corporate Marketing Planning

    48/59

    Product life cycle

    One could arrive at a very different interpretation of product lifecycle depending on how the relevant market is defined Generic need life cycles are seldom useful for strategy purposes

    because they seldom experience significant changes Product form and product class life cycles are of substantial value

    to the process of developing strategies From the view point of corporate marketing planning, the product

    life-cycle has two major contributions1. Product form life cycle stage tells more about the market

    opportunities than does current brand growth rate. Low brand-sales growth may occur because the market share may bedeclining in a growth stage or because market share is stable in amature market.

    By knowing which state a product is in enables the management
