Abstract
Extending portfolio analysis and PIMS studies to include military concepts of strategic force produces a new paradigm of marketing strategies. The author introduces and calibrates the concept of strategic marketing ambition, relates this concept to the marketing mix, and then derives a theoretical function linking strategic ambitions and investments with market share. An operational measure of differential marketing advantage is introduced, and the. methods of analysis are applied in an illustration of competitive investments, marketing strategy and differential advantage.Keywords
