Title: Chapter 2 – Strategic Planning and The Marketing Environment
Textbook Notes
2.1 – Components of the Strategic Planning Process
Strategic planning is a process that helps organization allocate resources to capitalize on opportunities in the market place; long term process; includes situation analysis, developing mission statements, objectives, and strategies.
This is then followed by development of a segmentation, targeting, and positioning strategy and the implementation of the marketing mix to support strategy. -
Conducting Situation Analysis
o
Must occur before company can decide on specific action, therefore important to understand the decision or action being considered. o
Important to know what decision will need to be made as this will help focus on relevant aspect for the decision to be taken; specificity is key because a lot of data
will be available. Therefore, best to consider only those factor that are relevant to your decision. o
SitAn involves analyzing the environment in which the business operates.
External factors: outside the organization; political, legal, regulatory, economic, socio-cultural, technological, and competitive environments.
Internal factors: within the organization; company’s resources, capabilities, and corporate partners and how these things compare against competition.
-
Assessing the Internal Environment
o
Should compare the micro-environment of the company with the competition so think about whether the company being analyzed is better or worse in comparison
to the competition.
o
Also, should consider the different types of competition; we often only think about direct competitors but should also look at indirect competitors.
Direct: Canada Ginger Ale vs Schweppes ginger ale
Indirect: Canada Ginger Ale vs. water, coke, sports drink etc.
-
Assessing the External Environment
o
Analyzing the external environment involved tracking conditions in the macro environment that, although largely uncontrollable, affects the way the organization does business.
Political/legal/regulatory
Organizations must comply with gov regulation and understand the political and legal environments in which they do business.
Regulations will vary across countries and states and different countries have different laws that can affect company strategy.
Economic
Economic factors include inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and whether the company is in growth or recession. o
Inflation: cost of living too high therefore consumers and businesses need more money to purchase goods and services.
o
Interest rate increase when inflation increases.
o
Recession occurs when inflation increases because higher prices = low/negative economic growth.
Socio-cultural
Social trends, age, income, marital status, education, and occupation are not static in the global marketplace.
Example: people of the age 65 and up will increase by 60% compared to the younger population that will only increase by
10%, therefore organization must be able to market to the older population.
Technological
Marketers allocate more of their budgets to online ads and mobile marketing rather than just print media.
Competitive
In the macro-environment perspective, competition is of the industry
not individual competitors.
In Canada not a lot of cell phone carriers – oligarchy vs in the states there are multiple carriers so how difficult is it to break in both situations.
Porter’s Five Forces Model is a model used to analyze industries and
helps organizations become competitive in the future. o
Competitive Rivalry o
Substitute products
o
Potential new entrants o
Bargaining power of buyers o
Bargaining power of suppliers
o
Example: because buyers are consuming fewer soft drinks, companies like Coke and Pepsi start to offer substitutes like
vitamin water and sports drink. Because of which you have new entrants entering the market to supply the vitamin water. When suppliers see how lucrative their customers’ market, they is can also enter it = competitive rivalry. o
When the companies globalize, analyzing this macro-environment becomes more complicated because you then have to analyze the macro-environment in all the countries the business is being done in. -
Conducting a SWOT Analysis
o
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats
o
It helps organize thought to develop goals and strategies; and as you conduct the SWOT analysis you must keep the decision or action to be taken at the top of your
mind. o
In determining whether the data point is a strength, weakness, opportunity, or threats, you must consider a number of criteria. Video Lectures

Question
Rollin King and Herb Kelleher started Southwest Airlines in 1971 with this idea: if they could take airline passengers where they want to go, on time, at the lowest possible price, and have a good time while doing it, people would love to fly their airline. The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States
There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand,…

Product Case Study
Sam and Micaela first met while studying marketing at San Juan College. Both were ambitious and had plans to run their own businesses. Over time they decided to start a business together. Initially they spent many months discussing what sort of business they should go into. They considered various service businesses, like consulting or an internet- based training offering. However, it was eventually an opportunity in the children’s toy market that appeared to have good potential.
They had observed that parents were becoming increasingly time-poor and, as a result, had
less time to spend with their children. And in order to compensate for this, the parents typically spent large amounts on their children to entertain them. Obvious examples were the success of PlayStations, iPads, PC’s, and mobile phones.
Sam argued, “these are big ticket…
