Chapter Introduction
In this final chapter, we revisit the strategy process to provide a step-by-step guide for
implementing marketing strategy properly. The result is a workable, comprehensive
marketing strategy that includes an action plan, implementation directives, and evaluation
and control mechanisms.
In LO 15.1, we look at the process of translating the decided core and supporting
marketing mix linkages (Ps – Cs) into specific marketing plan tactics. In LO 15.2, we
focus on identifying the primary implementation directives to include in the marketing
plan, and finally, in LO 15.3, we describe the key control measures used to assess
marketing effectiveness in the short and long term and identify potential barriers to
implementation and control.
