Abstract

Managers practice in a consistently changing environment necessitating the need for an effective strategic marketing process. Nevertheless, measurement of marketing effectiveness has tended to be ignored in the literature. This study proposes a new managerial tool called the marketing planning index, which measures the effectiveness of marketing. The tool is tested on the service industry-in this case the hotel sector. Our findings indicate that the marketing planning index is a simple but powerful managerial tool that helps develop the diagnostic information needed to generate corporate and business level initiatives designed to improve strategic marketing effectiveness.
