Business Planning:
Composing the Big Picture
• Business planning: ongoing process of
making decisions that guide the firm both
in the short term and for the long haul
 Identifies/builds on firm’s strengths

Three Levels of Business Planning

management

management such as the chief marketing
officer
• Operational planning by supervisory
managers
5
Strategic Planning
• Managerial decision process that matches
firm’s resources & capabilities to its
marketing opportunities for long-term
growth
 Top management defines firm’s purpose and
objectives

next five years

Functional (Tactical) Planning
• Accomplished by various functional areas
of firm
• Typically includes a broad 5-year plan to
support strategic plan and a detailed
annual plan
 Example: to gain 40% of a particular market with
three new products during coming year

Operational Planning
• First-line managers focus on day-to-day
execution of functional plans
• Such planning includes detailed annual,
semiannual, or quarterly plans
•
Example: units of a product a
salesperson needs to sell per month

All Business Planning
Is an Integrated Activity
• Strategic, functional, and operational plans
must work together for benefit of whole
firm
• Marketers must fully understand how they
fit with the organization’s direction and
resources
9
Strategic Planning: Framing the Picture
• Very large multiproduct firms have
divisions called strategic business units
(SBUs)
 Individual units within the firm that operate like
separate businesses with each having its own
mission, business objectives, resources, managers,
and competitors
• In these firms, strategic planning done at
both the corporate and SBU levels
10
Step 1: Define the Mission
• What business are we in? What customers
should we serve? How do we develop firm’s
capabilities & focus its efforts?
• Mission statement: a formal document that
describes the organization’s overall purpose and
what it hopes to achieve in terms of its
customers, products, and resources
• Mission should not be too broad, too narrow, too
shortsighted
11
Step 1: Define the Mission
• Examples of mission statements
 MADD: “to stop drunk driving, support the victims of
this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking”
 NeoMedia Technologies: “provide ground-breaking
new technologies to companies everywhere”
 Xerox: provide “document solutions”

Individual Activity

statement for YOU!

“product” that you are
promoting to a potential
employer

Step 2: Evaluate the
Internal & External Environment
• Situational/environmental
analysis (business
review)

internal environment as well as
the external environment

corporate reputation, quality products, strong brands,
employees

either positively or negatively

them via planning

organization’s
strengths (S) and
weaknesses (W) and
the opportunities (O)
and threats (T) in the
external environment
