24415 Marketing Planning and Strategy

Description

Why do some organisations deliver better performance than others? This is the fundamental question of strategy. This subject covers the knowledge and skills necessary to create and sustain superior performance in the marketplace through market-led strategic management. It focuses on the essential issues in strategy, such as opportunity identification, strategy formulation and strategy implementation. There is almost never one right answer to a business scenario, but strong analysis skills always deliver a much better set of answers than weak analysis skills. The subject develops a competence to develop marketing within organisations as a strategic force rather than just as an operational department.
