This text provides an in-depth understanding of a variety of strategic planning tools and models that a marketing planner can use as a basis for identifying possibilities and choosing options. While it assumes a good understanding of the basic marketing principles and practices, it remains accessible to students exposed to high-level management practices for the first time. Maintaining the current style and framework, there are no substantial changes to theory in this second edition, but examples and case material has been updated, including expansion from 1 to 4 cases and respond to reviewer comments. Also included will be 2 sample marketing plans.
