MARKETING TACTICS
Tactics = specific operating plans that detail how a strategy is to be implemented in terms of when and where it is to be put into action. Timing Tactics Historically a first mover supported by being a first mover in technology. They specialize in routers, switches, wireless, security, optical networking, etc. Cisco is also considered a industry leader.

Market Location Tactics: Offensive


Cisco has always been known to take a frontal assault because they are a market leader. They go head to head with its competition.

MARKETING TACTICS
Market Location Tactics: Defensive Cisco takes the path of raising structural barriers. They do this to block challengers logical avenues of attack. Some factors of Porters they use are: Offering a full line of products in every profitable market segment to close off any entry points. Keep their items reasonably priced for their most popular products and services.

CISCO SUCCESS STATEMENT


Cisco has had many success stories throughout the years which is a large part in being a industry leader. Customers drive our business strategies to achieving success and excellence in everything we do, and will continue to be our key focus for developing products and services that accelerate their capability to prosper in the Internet business.

CISCO SUCCESS STATEMENT CONT.


An example of a success story is: In 2001 the cost of direct DSL and ISDN access increased markedly. Cisco transitioned tens of thousands of teleworkers and remote office workers worldwide to remote access VPNs. To determine if additional capacity was needed, Cisco used Cisco NetFlow in conjunction with various open-source tools to characterize existing traffic and then extrapolate expected traffic. With this business intelligence, Cisco successfully transitioned 22,000 users to VPN in only three months.

MARKETING PROBLEMS
The dominance in network switches that Cisco holds is waning. Hewlett-Packard has been particularly aggressive in the switching market since they have entered. Ciscos video-conferencing system for living rooms has been a strange product to market. There is little market for such a product when consumers can video chat for free over the internet instead of paying $600 for the equipment and a $25 a month service fee.

IDENTIFICATION OF SBU LEVEL STRATEGIES AND TACTICS


As mentioned earlier Ciscos strongest market is with their switches. The revenue has declined 7% in the latest quarter because they are under attack by competitors such as HP. Ciscos consumer products such as Linsksys routers, Flip video cameras, etc. dont stand a chance against Apple. They need to market their products more efficiently and spend more money on marketing popular products than products that serve a small niche market. Cisco just unveiled a new home-entertainment system in January to hopefully reinvent the entire TV experience.
