Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Market Planning A Blueprint for Success Patrick McNamee University of Ulster, UK Why is it that there are some firms that are enduringly successful, showing year after year results that are superior to rivals? Why is it that such firms are not confined to certain industries or certain locations or are of a certain size? This book asserts that remarkably successful firms are not so because of luck or exceptional circumstances but rather such firms succeed for two reasons: * the drive and strategic vision of their managers and * they follow strategic rules which confer success The title of this book reflects its purpose: to persuade managers that enduringly successful firms are those that understand most clearly and then serve most effectively the markets they address. Consequently the book provides managers with a practical step-by-step blueprint which will enable them to develop and implement strategies which will make their firms enduringly successful. The book asserts that successful firms become so, not because of lucky industrial circumstances, but because of the drive and strategic vision of their managers. This is good news for managers as it means that being in a relatively poor industry is not a sentence to a dismal career: informed managerial effort can overcome such problems. Additionally an underlying philosophy of the book is that the most effective strategies for all firms are those which are developed and implemented by the managers themselves and not by outside advisers. Consequently the book provides a blueprint for any manager in any firm to develop and implement a strategic market plan. Strategic Market Planning reflects the experiences which the author has working closely with managers in many industries, ranging from banking to retailing to aircraft manufacturing, in varied European locations. Consequently the book is written in a register of clear language which should appeal to managers and students of business.
Download or read book Competitive Intelligence Analysis and Strategy written by Sheila Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Grail for most organisations is the successful attainment, and retention, of inimitable competitive advantage. This book addresses the question of how to leverage the unique intangible assets of an organisation: its explicit, implicit, acquired and derived knowledge. The refreshingly innovative concept of Intelligence-Based Competitive Advantage© is one which will eclipse the cost-driven and resource-reduction attitudes most prevalent in the first decade of this century. Tomorrow’s organisation will need to derive IBCA© through the expert execution of bespoke competitive intelligence practice, unique analytical processes, pioneering competitive strategy formulation, and timely execution of all three, if they are to succeed. This volume consists of insights from Competitive Intelligence practices at both country and organisational level, Competitive Analysis processes within the firm and within challenging sector and economic environments and Competitive Strategy formulation in profit, non-profit, real and virtual world contexts. It is essential reading for anybody wishing to gain a formal understanding of the practical and intellectual challenges which will face organisations in the future as they strive to achieve strategic foresight and Intelligence-Based Competitive Advantage. This book was originally published as two special issues of the Journal of Strategic Marketing.

Book excerpt: The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences provides college and university students with a highly accessible, curriculum-driven reference work, both in print and on-line, defining the major terms needed to achieve fluency in the social and behavioral sciences. Comprehensive and inclusive, its interdisciplinary scope covers such varied fields as anthropology, communication and media studies, criminal justice, economics, education, geography, human services, management, political science, psychology, and sociology. In addition, while not a discipline, methodology is at the core of these fields and thus receives due and equal consideration.

Thus the work is organized in A-to-Z fashion and kept to a single volume of approximately 600 to 700 pages.
Download or read book Greener Marketing written by Martin Charter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the strengths of the material published in the hugely successful first edition of Greener Marketing, this important new title examines on a global scale the progress of environmental marketing in the 1990s and considers how social issues are increasingly becoming critical factors in how corporations meet the ever-growing demands and expectations of customers. Despite the fact that such issues are increasingly important in marketing activities around the world, it is difficult for practitioners to keep up to date with complex and rapidly changing information and ideas. The purpose of this book is to provide practitioners and academics with best-practice examples and actionable recommendations on how to implement and appraise green marketing activities. It will provide information and ideas for those involved in marketing on how to incorporate environmental and social considerations, as well as providing new perspectives on marketing for environmental managers. To achieve a comprehensive viewpoint, the book is split into three sections. The first sets out the strategic issues and rationale for green marketing, the second addresses tactical issues in more detail, and the third provides detailed international case studies. Topics addressed by the global set of contributors include the growing area of products versus services, environmental product development, green marketing alliances, environmental communications, green consumers, eco-tourism and environmental marketing in developing countries. reener Marketing is not only a sequel to the successful first volume, but redefines global progress towards the successful marketing of greener products and services.
