INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Looking ahead and prepare for future is better than to look back
and regret. An organization especially a manufacturing in a very competitive
needs to examine how it can effectively develop plan and strategies for serving
its marketing.
The aim of any marketing operation is to make the future
happier. But this was not well recognized by most firms initially so job
that should be handled by experts in the field of marketing were given to less
qualified personnel’s and in most case this shorten the life of most business.
Planning is the management function of setting target or objective
to be achieved and detailing out ways by which the target will be achieved.
Planning is sometime greater than first thinking ahead. In
manufacturing organization (Anammco) marketing planning and control show who is
to do the job (qualified marketing personnel’s) how the qualified marketing
personnel’s will carryout the job and when the job will be done.
Marketing planning and control share with the others activities of
the marketing mix the distinction in commerce of being a dynamic element in
operation of business. The effective of marketing planning and control in
a manufacturing organization enable the organization to absorb possible shock
emitting from marketing environmental change.
The subject matter is choosen by the researcher to explain the
foregoing Anamco maketing planning and control in other to know its
effectiveness.
According to Adirika (2003, P.11) in this lecture note, “marketing
planning is an exercise of analysis for and to increase the effectiveness of
marketing. Or drawing from the past to decide in the present what to do
in further in other to achieve the marketing objective enterprise efficient
effective.
Marketing planning does not depends on only theory or book knowledge.
In other to plan effectively we need to understand and know about our own
environment (Macro – and Mirco environment) where the marketing plan will
operate.
For marketing planning and control to be effective the qualified
marketing personnel that carried out the marketing and control may consider
some element or feature such as time.
Marketing planning and control will be effective if the plan has a
stated time, for completion, the estimate of time may be varied depending on
the product or firm.
For marketing planning and control to be effective the money for
material needed for the effective planning must be available and human
resources.
The qualified marketing personnel’s would have a group of
consumers or target markets in mind and then position the organization’s or
company’s product on this target market or segment.
Marketing control played a vital role in a manufacturing
organization. If all marketing programme or plan along with other sub
function are ideal and well harnessed but lack control it will be likened to
driving a well structured comfortable vehicle without a steering on a very busy
road.
Control is the vital follow – up process which is complementary to
planning while marketing planning is deciding in advance what needs to be done,
how and when it should be done.
As clearly recognized decade ago in an undertaking control consist
on verifying whether everything occurs in conformity with the plan adopted, the
instruction issued and principle established. It has for object to point
out weakness and error in order to rectify them and present recurrence.
Marketing control as concerned with establishing and maintaining
appropriate procedure and apparatus for monitoring and measuring the
implementation of marketing plan and strategies set out to active marketing
objective and taking necessary corrective action.
