...Analyzing Marketing Problems and Cases HIGHLIGHT 1 A Case for Case Analysis Cases assist in bridging the gap between classroom learning and the so-called real world of marketing management. They provide us with an opportunity to develop, sharpen, and test our analytical skills at: -Assessing situations. -Sorting out arid organizing key information. -Asking the right questions. -Defining opportunities and problems. -Identifying and evaluating alternative courses of action. -Interpreting data. -Evaluating the results of past strategies. -Developing and defending new strategies. -Interacting with other managers. -Making decisions under conditions of uncertainty. -Critically evaluating the work of others. -Responding to criticism. Source: David W. Cravens and Charles W. Lamb, Jr., Strategic Marketing: Cases and Applications, 4th ed. (Homewood, IL: Richard D. Irwin, 1993), p. 95. The use of business cases was developed by faculty members of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in the 1920s. Case studies have been widely accepted as one effective way of exposing students to the decision-making process. Basically, cases represent detailed descriptions or reports of business problems. They are usually written by a trained observer who actually had been involved in the firm or organization and had some dealings with the problems under consideration. Cases generally entail both qualitative and quantitative data, which the student must analyze to determine appropriate...

...1) Do you agree with Le Masne’s decision? What would you have done? Le Masne made three decisions – 1) assumed the Creative Director position; 2) provided creative latitude to designers for what appears to be “runway” purposes only; and 3) hired a marketing director. The following will serve as a brief summary of my assessment of Le Masne’s decisions. Assuming the Role of Creative Director I disagree with Le Masne’s decision to assume the role of Creative Director. As executive chairman, I believe that the creative power and authority subsumed within Le Masne’s role is maximized best by championing the strategic direction of the company to further penetrate the Chinese market place while also growing their position in the US and Europe, creating a psychologically safe environment for the designers and management team to voice and resolve their respective concerns, and challenge the creative process via his role on the Product Committee and mentoring and management of the Creative Director. The strategic foundation, which has served Shanghai Tang well, is to develop a fashion line that traces its roots back to Chinese culture and is wearable, modern and colorful. This approach has worked well in the US and European markets. Although not as successful in the Chinese markets, it could be because the term wealthy in China is being defined as household income equal to or greater than $35,000 or more. I don’t know anyone making $35,000 a year who is buying Chinese themed...

...generally includes analysis of the current market situation (opportunities and trends) and detailed action programs, budgets, sales forecasts, strategies, and projected (proforma) financial statements. See also marketing strategy. The marketing planning process A marketing plan is a comprehensive blueprint which outlines an organization's overall marketing efforts. A marketing process can be realized by the marketing mix, which is outlined in step 4. The last step in the process is the marketing controlling. The marketing plan can function from two points: strategy and tactics (P. Kotler, K.L. Keller). In most organizations, "strategic planning" is an annual process, typically covering just the year ahead. Occasionally, a few organizations may look at a practical plan which stretches three or more years ahead. Marketing planning aims and objectives Behind the corporate objectives, which in themselves offer the main context for the marketing plan, will lie the "corporate mission," which in turn provides the context for these corporate objectives. In a sales-oriented organization, the marketing planning function designs incentive pay plans to not only motivate and reward frontline staff fairly but also to align marketing activities with corporate mission. The marketing plan basically aims to make the business provide the solution with the awareness...

...business success in today’s environment. Interdepartmental dynamics, a component of the Kohli and Jaworski market orientation framework, has been shown to influence market orientation and business performance. Several concepts have developed recently relating to and possibly further defining these components of market orientation. These are concepts of the business process orientation of an organization and the impact on interdepartmental and cross functional interaction. This study develops the construct of business process orientation (BPO) as it relates to interdepartmental dynamics. It also develops and validates the measures for BPO and tests the proposed relationship of BPO to interdepartmental dynamics. Copyright( - Property of Dr. Kevin McCormack.
