A Model of Strategic Marketing Decision Premises

Abstract

The paper utilized some relevant empirical and conceptual works in extant literature to sketch a model of the relations among marketing environment, strategic marketing decisions and effectiveness. The paper reveals that some forms of supports exist in extant literature regarding the impacts of marketing environment on strategic marketing decisions and effectiveness, and impacts of strategic marketing decisions on strategic marketing effectiveness. However, relevant extant literature seems to have ignored the impacts of strategic marketing decisions on marketing environment. Also, relevant extant literature contains some gaps regarding the impacts of strategic marketing effectiveness on marketing environment and strategic marketing decisions. The paper concludes that these important relationships in strategic marketing decisions, omitted in extant literature, should be incorporated for a more comprehensive understanding of the relevant issues in strategic management decisions. The paper proposes an empirical research agenda to test the model in some business functions, sectors, cultures, contexts or premises.
