What are the three steps involved in the PLANNING phase of the strategic marketing process?
"Planning; implementation; and control" describes the strategic marketing process; the question is only about one phase of that process. "Set market and product goals; select target markets; find points of difference; and position the product" describes the activities involved in second part of the market-product and goal setting portion (Step 2) of the planning phase. "Identify where we have been; where we are headed; and where we are now" lists are the questions to resolve during the situation (SWOT) analysis portion (Step 1) of the planning phase.
