Product Management, Pricing Strategy, Supply Chain & Demand Chain (Distribution),
Processes, Alignment & Engagement of People,
Positioning and (of course) Marketing Communications

Business planning extends details to do with operational HR. Accounting, Finance, Production, administration areas while
the Marketing Plan focuses on managing the market competitors, price, product , distribution, marketing environment, and the promotion
mix (see the Nexus of Marketing below). Marketing planning sets the marketing objectives that reflect corporate
objectives. The business plan lays out the operational activities to support the Marketing Objectives
while also setting non-marketing objectives to keep the organisational operationally sound.
