Definition

Planning is the process of anticipating future events and conditions and determining courses of action for achieving organizational objectives. As the definition indicates, planning is a continuous process that includes specifying objectives and the actions through which a firm can attain them. The planning process creates a blueprint that specifies the means for achieving organizational objectives. It also defines checkpoints at which comparisons of actual performance with expectations indicate whether current activities are moving the organization toward its objectives.

Marketing planning concentrated on implementing planning activities devoted to achieving marketing objectives and establishes the basis for any marketing strategy such as product lines, pricing decisions, selection of appropriate distribution channels, and decisions relating to promotional campaigns all depend on plans formulated within the marketing organization.

Strategic planning

After knowing the strength and weakness of Hutchison , we can observed that it is more profitable to have a strategy for residential , a segment in which it has so far builds a very low share, is to target IDD user with middle and low family incomes.
