Conclusion Strategic marketing management (SMM) process covers 3 areas; strategic analysis, strategic choice and strategy implementation Strategic analysis involves the collection and analysis of relevant types of information about the environmental forces and trends, and organisational resources and capabilities External (macro) environment can be analysed using PESTLE model, while the micro environment could be examined using Porter Five forces model. The internal environment can be assessed using various models, most notably is the ‘value chain’ approach The effectiveness of any marketing intelligence system is dependent on the frequency of collecting, interpreting, and disseminating the information required about the marketing environment & competition SWOT analysis is an important foundation for producing realistic and meaningful strategic recommendations for the firm’s future directions
