From marketing as a function to marketing as a transformational engine -- From market segments to strategic segments -- From selling products to innovating solutions -- From declining to growing distribution channels -- From branded bulldozers to global distribution partners -- From acquiring to rationalizing brands for profit -- From market-driven to market-[d]riving -- From strategic business units to corporate marketing.
This book challenges marketers to change their role from tactical implementers of traditional marketing functions-like advertising and promotion-to strategic coordinators of organization-wide, transformational initiatives aimed at profitably delivering value to customers. The author outlines seven strategy-focused, cross-functional, and bottom-line oriented initiatives that can put marketing back on the CEO's agenda-and elevate its role in shaping the destiny of the firm.
