Analysis of the Internal Environment Review of current marketing objectives, strategy, and performance § What are the current marketing goals and objectives? § How are current marketing strategies performing with respect to anticipated
outcomes? Review of current and anticipated organisational resources § What is the state of current organisational resources? § Are these resources likely to change for the better or worse in the near future? § If the changes are for the better, how can these added resources be used to better
meet customers’ needs? Review of current and anticipated cultural and structural issues § What are the positive and negative aspects of the current and anticipated
organisational culture? § What issues related to internal politics or management struggles
might affect the marketing activities?

Resource-based View
§ Resource-based view (RBV) is a framework to determine the strategic resources a firm can exploit to achieve sustainable competitive advantage and to explain performance heterogeneity across firms (Barney, 1991).
§ A key insight arising from RBV is that not all resources are of equal importance § VRIO Framework:
§ Valuable – enable a firm to implement its strategies. § Rare – not available to other competitors. § Imperfectly (or costly to) imitable –
not easily implemented by others. § Organized to Capture Value –
resources do not confer any advantage for a firm if they are not organized using organisational structure, processes/capabilities, and culture.

Resource-based View
§ Value-creating disciplines: Only some resources/capabilities need to be superior to competition and enable firms to propose differentiated offering to customers that are hard for competitors to match.
§ Resource Portfolios
9
Resource-based View
Value-creating disciplines § Operational excellence – providing middle-of-market
products at the best price with the least inconvenience. e.g., McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC.
§ Product leadership – offering products that push the boundaries of product and service performance. e.g., Intel is a product leader in computer chips.
§ Customer intimacy – delivering what specific customers want in cultivated relationships. The core requirements are flexibility, a ‘have it your way’ mindset, mastery of ‘mass customisation’, and the ability to sustain long-term relationships.

Marketing Resources: Capabilities
Organizational routines (Nelson and Winter, 1982; Feldman and Pentland, 2003) § Regular & predictable
§ Collective, social & tacit - Learned over time
§ Behaviour & performance: The way firms do things
§ Enable tasks to be executed sub-consciously
§ Binding knowledge, including tacit knowledge
§ Can promote or prohibit innovation
Importantly routines are learned over time and they are highly firm-specific § Each organization has its own particular ways of doing things, and this can often
be a source of competitive advantage.

Marketing Resources: Dynamic Capabilities
Dynamic capabilities represent the capacity of an organisation to purposefully create, extend, or modify its resource base (Helfat et al., 2007). § As markets change and become more globally integrated, new forms of
competition emerge and firms cannot rest on their existing capabilities alone.

Why Innovation Matters
§ Everybody wants to be the next Google, IBM, or Netflix § Nobody wants to be Kodak, Blockbuster, or BlackBerry.
§ “Companies achieve competitive advantage through acts of innovation. They approach innovation in its broadest sense, including both new technologies & new ways of doings things” - Michael Porter
21
Why Innovation Matters
§ Achieving success through innovation is not easy and the failure rate is high § What is missing is a clear set of principles for action!
§ This can only be achieved by treating innovation as a process.
