Strategic Planning and
Marketing Management Process
Strategic Planning
A systematic process of envisioning a desired future, and translating this
vision into broadly defined goals or objectives and a sequence of steps to
achieve them .
Strategic planning determines exactly where your organization is going
over the next few years and how it's going to get there. A strategic plan is
a coordinated and systematic way to develop a course and direction for
your company.
Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or
direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this
strategy. It may also extend to control mechanisms for guiding the
implementation of the strategy.
Strategic planning includes all the activities that lead to the development
of a clear organizational mission, organizational objectives, and
appropriate strategies to achieve the objectives for the entire organization.
Marketers define strategic planning as the
process of developing and maintaining a
strategic fit between the organization’s goals
and capabilities and its changing marketing
opportunities.

mission is distilled into a finer set of specific
