Another Oxymoron in Marketing: Marketing Strategy

Robin Wensley

Chapter 3 in Marketing in Evolution, 1998, pp 36-54 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The essence of the argument in this chapter is that the link between marketing and strategy, at least as they are commonly understood, is becoming more and more tenuous under the twin pressures of changing fashions and more refined analysis. Changing fashions in management are shifting attention away from strategy formulation and analysis towards strategy process and implementation. More refined analysis in marketing recognises that on both economic and statistical grounds it is very unlikely that one can reduce heterogeneity and diversity to a relative simple decision rule for commercial success.
