Abstract

Links two views in what has been labelled a strategic marketing perspective ‐ this is defined as having the dual task of providing a marketplace perspective to the process of determining corporate direction, and guidelines for the development and execution of marketing programmes that assist in attaining corporate objectives. Implies that a marketplace perspective is an important, but not the only, ingredient in setting a firm's objectives. Concludes that the study has attempted to clarify how marketing and corporate planning could be linked by a strategic marketing perspective.
