marketing management vs marketing strategy

Marketing management and marketing strategy are generally treated as different levels in the planning hierarchy. Strategic decisions are higher order decisions.

This article carries the title "marketing management" yet its focus is on "marketing strategy". The entire article needs a big rethink.

The article entitled Marketing presumably should be about marketing management - but actually it's about just about everything except that.

I have added the following quote to the article on marketing strategy because it very clearly distinguishes between managerial and strategic approaches.

The distinction between “strategic” and “managerial” marketing is commonly used to distinguish "two phases having different goals and based on different conceptual tools. Strategic marketing concerns the choice of policies aiming at improving the competitive position of the firm, taking account of challenges and opportunities proposed by the competitive environment. On the other hand, managerial marketing is focused on the implementation of specific targets."Stocchetti, A., "Old and new approaches to marketing: The quest of their epistemological roots," MPRA Paper No. 30841, 2009, <Online: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/30841>, p. 34</ref>

This might help to focus this article rather more on marketing management than on strategy. BronHiggs (talk) 07:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
