SYLLABUS AREA COURSE PREREQUISITE TEACHER (S) COORDINATOR : Marketing Strategic Marketing Planning : Marketing Management : : Walter Vizarreta Vilcarromero EMAIL: waltervizarreta@hotmail.com : Ing Miguel E. Loo MBA EMAIL: mloo@usil.edu.pe This is an Upper Division Course. I COURSE DESCRIPTION Any company that intends to grow and develop over a long period of time must have a strategic plan. Strategic plans are like placing road signs where there are no roads. This tells us two very clear differences between a strategic plan and a marketing plan. The first one tells us how we are going to face major challenges, spanning from growth to crisis of our core business, maintaining the essence of who we are as a company. The second is how to lay the next kilometre of pavement to make that road. Finding a balance between the cost of that kilometre and the contour of the terrain (the shape of the market) and the distant objective we want to reach is going to be your job. Anyone can write a marketing plan for a year. Only those who can see the larger picture can steer a company through the years without losing course. Those people need to learn how to align every unit inside a company towards a distant goal that not everyone will understand or see. It will be the job of a bold and strong marketing leader to see those plans through. II COMPETENCIES By the end of this course the student will be able to: Set up and develop strategic marketing plans. Analyze markets segments. Develop brand strategies and product strategies. Adapt a Marketing Plan geared to markets trends. III METHODOLOGY The objective of this course is to give the student the opportunity to work between the strategic framework of a company and the tactical platform (in the form of a yearly marketing plan). Despite the availability of real cases, in order to really be able to look at the big picture we are going to work on two large cases: one of products marketing before the Mid-term exam and one of services between the Midterm and the Final Exam. Aside from that, each one of you will have to deliver a presentation on a given subject at least once in the semester. This presentation will be a current economic affair affecting businesses, a subject of interest to the class or analysis, of an issue to be discussed.
