A Personal Note from the AuthorsWe truly appreciate your use o
6、f Marketing Strategy: Based on First Principles and Data Analytics! In this manual, we help your preparation for teaching this class both effective and efficient. What instructional needs do we seek to fulfil with this book? The two key differentiators of our book are:Foundation: Our approach is bui
7、lt on structural foundation, and not business exemplars. Many marketing strategy classes rely almost exclusively on business cases that may serve as exemplars of marketing strategy. The problem with only using business cases is that students are unwilling to believe that a single firms successful so
8、lution to a marketing problem generalizes across problems. Hence, we build the book on a structural foundation that argues that marketing decisions can be organized to solve four underlying “problems” or complexities that all firms face when designing and implementing their marketing strategies. The
9、se four problems represent critical hurdles to marketing success; they also define the organization for this book. We refer to them as the First Principles of Marketing Strategy.Analytics: We embrace todays necessity to include analytics in marketing-decision making: Many marketing strategy classes
10、that rely only on concepts and business cases offer relatively limited data analytics assistance to students, which provides the mistaken impression that todays business environment is not data-intensive. Feedback and experience indicate that analytics is no longer a luxury, but a business necessity
11、 from a career advancement perspective. Accordingly, we describe state-of-the-art data analytic techniques throughout the book, and include four broad empirical cases, with data sets and step-by-step solution guides, that give students a feel for analytics-based decision-making. We present you with
12、flexible teaching approaches. You could directly use the book to teach Marketing Strategy or Marketing Management courses, by describing the First Principles of Marketing Strategy, and thereby giving students a structured framework for developing effective strategies for diverse marketing problems.
13、You could also use our foundational structure to teach a Marketing Data Analytics or Marketing Engineering class by providing a strategic organizing framework to tackle the challenges of todays big data environments. Both these approaches using our materials have been applied and refined at multiple
14、 universities by multiple professors for undergraduate, MBA, and EMBA students for almost a decade.Accordingly, in the rest of the manual, we detail all the instructional resources we provide with the book, provide field guides to constructing Marketing Strategy and Marketing Analytics courses using
15、 our book, and subsequently provide some sample syllabi for immediate use. We hope you enjoy Marketing Strategy: Based on First Principles and Data Analytics!2. Instructional ResourcesWe list all the teaching resources we have provided below.2.1 First Principles Approach Slide LibraryWe have provide
16、d you with a detailed slide library of more than 500 fully animated PowerPoint slides for classroom instruction. On the bottom of each slide (notes section) is a detailed discussion of the purpose, research, and more examples supporting the slide. The slide library is organized around each of the ni
17、ne chapters, to facilitate modular instruction. Each chapters slides consist of the same components in the book. Introduction Description and rationale for the First Principle Evolution and description of approaches used to address the specific Marketing Principle Relevant marketing research, concep
18、ts, tools, and analyses Input, output, and process framework Takeaways CasesIn addition, we have included select examples (from more than 250 diverse marketing examples in the book) in each chapters slides. 2.2 Data Analytic Technique Sections Slide LibraryWe have provided you with a detailed slide
19、library expanding on key data analytics techniques that can be used in conjunction with each First Principle. The material was originally developed by DecisionPro to be used with MEXL (an add-in module for Excel), but we have adapted it to support the key data analytic techniques in the book, i.e. c
20、luster analysis, positioning maps, choice models, conjoint modes, and response models. Each data analytic technique consist of. Learning objectives Rationale for the technique Description of the technique Example of technique in use Summary2.3 Broad Analytics Cases (with Solutions) and DataThe book
21、contains four broad empirical cases, with data sets and step-by-step solution guides. Each case refers to one of the four First Principles. Each of the cases deals with one of the four fundamental marketing problems. You could use these cases and solutions included at the end of relevant chapters as
22、 demonstration of the processes and techniques taught in the book. The structure of the cases parallel one another, each focused on a different First Principle, and provide the following: Problem Background Problem Statement Data Solution Process Summary of Solution Tables and Figures2.4 Analytics C
23、ase ReferencesIn addition to the broad analytics cases, the chapters contain references to cases which were developed by DecisionPro to be used with MEXL (an add-in module for Excel) or Enginius (a Cloud-based version of the software). These cases are often more narrowly defined but provide an excel
24、lent way to learn the key marketing processes and analysis tools outlined in this chapter. Each of these cases comes with an associated dataset. These case and datasets can be accessed at http:/www.decisionpro.biz/. Below, we list the DecisionPro cases that are relevant for the book, on a chapter-by

32、llabiWe have provided four complete syllabi for instructors to directly download and design their classes. We have provided two example syllabi for a marketing management/strategy class (i.e. one for an undergraduate class, and one for an MBA class), and two example syllabi for a marketing analytics
33、 class (one for an undergraduate class, and one for an MBA class). While each of these syllabi is for a 14-week session, you might pare it down to a shorter session (for use in EMBA classes) by combining materials from two class sessions in a 14-week class into one section for the 7-week class. 2.6
34、Test BankWe have provided a comprehensive test bank with 25 multiple choice questions, and 5 short answer questions from each chapter. To put a test together, you can customize the questions from across the chapters. The test bank is available from Palgraves Instructor only website.2.7 Instructional
35、 VideosWe are developing in-depth videos about key topics from the book, including the First Principles, marketing concepts, real business examples, and data analytical methods. More information will be soon available (est. May 2017). The videos are suitable for a full class session or short briefs
36、and introduction of one topic.2.8 Integrates with Marketing Simulation Software (e.g., Markstrat)In addition to helping students understand the four First Principles and how they fit together, we discuss market simulation software, such as Markstrat, as a complement and experiential learning tool (s
37、ee DAT 1.1). This interactive software requires real-time decisions by students that map onto the four Marketing Principles, while using the outputs of the other analyses outlined in this book (e.g., positioning maps, multidimensional scaling, consumer surveys, marketing experiments, regression anal
38、ysis, conjoint analysis) to inform key marketing decisions. Many professors and students find this experiential-based learning approach effective for understanding and demonstrating the power of the First Principles, as well as the importance of data analysis for real-world development and implement
39、ation of effective marketing strategy. Other simulation software packages are also available and work as well, but Markstrat parallels our approach very closely. 3. Delivering a Marketing Strategy Course3.1 Overarching ObjectivesFor the marketing strategy course, objective would be to focus the cour
40、se on strategically analyzing and solving marketing problems from a decision makers perspective. Overall, the marketing management/marketing strategy course would have two key learning objectives: Understanding and effectively using the fundamental frameworks, processes, and analysis tools of market
41、ing strategy Using the “first principles” of marketing strategy to solve business problems3.2 Overall Course StructureThe overall delivery of the class materials would be based on each of the four First Principles of Marketing Strategy. We break down the delivery of the component into the following
42、components. The first two lectures could provide an overview of marketing strategy, introduce each of the First Principles of Marketing Strategy, thus covering the purview of Chapter 1. These lectures could use the slide library from Chapter 1. Chapters 2-8 covers each of the four First Principles o
43、f Marketing Strategy in detail. We recommend organizing 3-4 lectures for each chapter, using the following resources:o Slide Library for Lecture Contento Data Analytic Technique for overview of analytic techniques within the purview of each chaptero Broad Analytics Cases for application-based demons
44、tration of each analytic techniqueo MeXL-based analytics case as assignment-based learning of each analytic technique (for MBA students).o Markstrat sessions to better understand the ground realities of the learning. The last two lectures could provide a review of marketing strategy, and ideas on ho
45、w the integrate the four First Principles of Marketing Strategy, which covers the purview of Chapter 9, and could use the slide library from Chapter 9. 3.3 Course Structure for Undergraduate Marketing Strategy/Management Below, we present a detailed course structure for a 28 session undergraduate co
46、urse. If the course is taught over 14 weeks, the class will meet twice a week, and cover two sessions in a week. If the course is taught over 7 weeks, the class will meet twice a week, and cover four sessions in a week (i.e. two sessions in each meeting). Moreover, we provide a detailed breakdown of
47、 session number, topic, instructional resource needed, and chapter, for each session.SessionWeekTopicInstructional Resource Chapter11.1Overview and Benefits of Marketing StrategyInstructor Slides121.2Overview of First Principles Approach (cont)Instructor Slides132.1Principle 1: All Customers are Different Managing Customer HeterogeneityInstructor Slides242.2Segmentation and Targeting Concept and DemonstrationAnalytic Technique, MeXL (Dentmax Case)253.1Markstrat Session 1 and/or Case AssignmentDentMax Case Replication Assignment63.2Positio
