Key Learnings
Strategy needs to succeed in a dynamic market. A business strategy includes the determination of the product-market scope and its dynamics (as reflected in the intensity of the business investment), the customer value proposition, assets and competencies, and functional strategies and programs. External analysis includes analyses of customers, competitors, markets, and the environment. Internal analysis includes a performance appraisal and an examination of organizational strengths, weaknesses, problems, constraints, and strategic options. The role of these analyses is to identify existing or emerging opportunities, threats, trends, strategic uncertainties, and strategic options. The marketing team needs to be a partner in strategy and by involved in overcoming silo barriers.
