Distinction between Marketing Plan and Strategic Plan
strategic planning usually takes place at a higher level in the organization than marketing planning. strategic planning takes place at the corporate, group, or strategic business unit levels. At these levels, objectives are broad (e.g., return on investment or assets and strategies are general). Marketing planning takes place at the business center level and has specific objectives (e.g., market share) and strategies (e.g., pursuing the small- business segment)
