Tackling implementation impediments to marketing planning
Abstract
The exponents of marketing planning have for over a decade warned of the internal operational, cultural and process impediments to the effective implementation of marketing plans. Recently, they have been joined by the market segmentation specialists and many of the “gurus” of modern marketing management. Unfortunately, the syllabi of most business school marketing courses and the content of their recommended textbooks fail to reflect this concern for implementation issues. Marketers must provide the necessary internal operational and resource requisites for effective marketing planning, utilise suitable processes for undertaking these activities, and manage the on‐going implementation of the recommended marketing plans.
