Abstract

The traditional paradigms of marketing are expanding to incorporate negotiated exchanges with internal and external coalitions in the pursuit of competitive advantage. This paper explores the implications of a broader paradigm for setting priorities in research and theory development in strategic marketing. These priorities build on conceptual and methodological strengths within marketing. The perspective taken in this paper also contributes to the continuing dialogue about the appropriate role for the marketing function in addressing strategic issues.
