Discussion on Topic 2

  1. Defend or contradict this statement: Developing marketing strategy is more important than implementing marketing strategy because, if the strategy is flawed, its implementation doesn’t matter.
  2. In many organizations, marketing does not have a place of importance in the organizational hierarchy.  Why do you think this happens?  What are the consequences for a firm that gives little importance to marketing relative to other business functions?
  3. What are some of the potential difficulties in approaching strategic planning from a balanced perspective?  Isn’t financial performance still the most important perspective to take in planning? Explain.
