Purpose:

This will involve the planning, directing, organising and controlling of marketing strategy-related decisions and actions.
At a senior level, managing activities internal to the organisation are only part of the manager’s responsibilities. The senior manager must also respond to the challenges posed by the organisation’s internal and external including international environments. To deal effectively with challenges that effect the growth and profitability of the organisation, the marketing manager must implement processes that will optimise the competitive position of the organisation by maximising the anticipation of environmental changes and unexpected internal competitive demands. Although the scope of marketing management is quite broad, it is very important for a senior marketing manager to be able to produce and implement a strategic marketing plan, the basis of which normally depends on a substantial marketing research component.
