THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS & RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
MARKETING STRATEGY
is a long-term, forward-looking approach to planning with the fundamental goal of achieving a
sustainable competitive advantage.
Scholars continue to debate the precise meaning of marketing strategy. Consequently, the
literature offers many different definitions. On close examination, however, these definitions
appear to centre around the notion that strategy refers to a broad statement of what is to be
Achieved.
Strategic planning involves an analysis of the company's strategic initial situation prior to the
formulation, evaluation and selection of a market oriented competitive position that contributes to
the company's goals and marketing objectives.
Strategic marketing, as a distinct field of study emerged in the 1970s, and built on strategic
management that preceded it. Marketing strategy highlights the role of marketing as a link
between the organization and its customers.
Marketing strategy involves mapping out the company's direction for the forthcoming planning
period, whether that be three, five or ten years. It involves undertaking a 360° review of the
firm and its operating environment with a view to identifying new business opportunities that the
firm could potentially leverage for competitive advantage. Strategic planning may also
reveal market threats that the firm may need to consider for long-term sustainability.
Strategic planning makes no assumptions about the firm continuing to offer the same products to
the same customers into the future. Instead, it is concerned with identifying the business
opportunities that are likely to be successful and evaluates the firm's capacity
to leverage such opportunities. It seeks to identify the strategic gap; that is the difference between
where a firm is currently situated (the strategic reality or inadvertent strategy) and where it should
be situated for sustainable, long-term growth (the strategic intent or deliberate strategy).
Strategic planning seeks to address three deceptively simple questions, specifically:
Both the practitioners and theoreticians need evidence and frameworks for analysis of the current
status of the firm in order to elucidate reasons for poor performance of the organization for
devising a competitive marketing strategy Hambrick & Schecter [30]. It helps to analyze market
information facilitating quicker adaptation to changes. Many authors have introduced various
marketing strategy models that take an iterative cyclic path starting from formulation of mission
and objective, analysis of the internal and external environment of the business followed by
strategy formulation and implementation.
The strategy formulation process uses models and frameworks such as Porter’s five forces
model, SWOT analysis and McCarthy’s marketing mix model for initial analysis of the business.
Literature on marketing strategy formulation is often complimented by strategic management in
this area. Strategy formulation commences with analysis of business portfolio trough five force
model propounded by Porters in 1990 comprising:
BCG matrix is considered to be the best suited approach for portfolio analysis among
practitioners though researchers point out many pitfalls with the model. This involves plotting the
strategic business unit on a matrix of four cells according to the market growth rate and their
market share relative to that of the largest competitor.
SWOT analysis is a widely used tool for scanning internal and external environments within the
marketing planning process. It involves scanning of the internal strength and weakness and
external opportunities and threats. Different managers use different scales and models for
assessing these factors which is based on their perception and understanding
McCarthy (1960) advocates identification of potential target markets for the product/ service
resulting in devising strategies for four Ps namely, product, price, place and promotion strategies.
A unique mix of these four dimensions of strategy makes a business competitive in a particular
industry with enhanced performance and sustainability functional integration, communication
quality, strategy consensus commitment and strategy resource commitment are the important
factors affecting strategy formulation process.
The outcomes of marketing strategy making process are creativity of strategy, organisational
learning and market performance. Julio & Eugenia proposed a marketing strategy formulation
model essentially based on customer segmentation and value generation. The model is built based
on customer lifetime value, the current value
Research is creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge,
including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to
devise new
applications. "It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve
new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may
also be an expansion on past work in the field. Research projects can be used to develop further
knowledge on a topic, or in the example of a school research project, they can be used to further a
student's research prowess to prepare them for future jobs or reports.
Research methodology simply refers to the practical ‘how’ of any given piece of research. More
specifically, it’s about how a researcher systematically designs a study to ensure valid and
reliable results that address the research aims and objectives.
Sample Design
A sample design is the framework, or road map, that serves as the basis for the selection of a
survey sample and affects many other important aspects of a survey as well.
Sample size - 50
The target population of the study consists of responses of DHIRATI EDUCATION customers.
This survey
was done by collecting the data from the respondents. After due consultation with the college
guide, also keeping in mind no of employees are working in the organization the sample size that
knowing the characteristics of certain groups such as age, gender, educational level, occupation
Other cases when a descriptive study could be taken up are when he is interested in knowing the
proportion of people in a given population who have behaved in a particular manner. The
objective of such a study is to answer the “who, what, when, where, and how” of the subject
under investigation.
Data collection- The task of data collection begins after the research problem has been defined
and research design chalked out. While deciding the method of data collection to be used for the
study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data viz. Primary and secondary data.
Primary Data - Primary data is data that is collected by a researcher from first-hand sources,
using methods like surveys, interviews, or experiments. The primary data were
Secondary Data - The secondary data are those, which have already been collected by someone
else and passed through statistical process, making it easier to carry out further research.
Sampling technique
selects samples based on the subjective judgment of the researcher rather than random selection.
Questionnaire consist of open and close ended 14 question related demographic structure and
other factors affecting customer satisfaction related to Dhirati education services and its products
Analysis
The analysis of the data has been done through graphical analysis (pie chart)

CONCLUSION
political, social, etc. and most importantly on what the company vision is. However, in this study
I found many areas to be worked upon to engage more customers. Marketing strategy aims at
developing a sustainable competitive advantage to the firm or the brand. Therefore, an important
aspect of marketing strategy research should be concerned with the long-run impact of marketing
actions on business performance. Persistence modeling provides one such approach; based on the
important principle that marketing success depends on the combined influence of customers,
competition and the behavior of the firm itself. By carefully measuring the chain reactions that
unfold over time as the result of a marketing action, persistence modeling quantifies both the
magnitude and the duration of marketing’s 50
