8. Approaches to Annual Plan Control
y Annual Plan Control
- Sales Analysis
- Market Share Analysis
- Marketing expense-to-sales Analysis
- Financial Analysis

9. Sales Analysis:
y Measures and evaluates actual sales in relationship
to goals.
y It has two specific tools:
- Sales-variance Analysis- measures the relative
contribution of different factors to a gap in sales
performance.
- Microsales Analysis- looks at specific products,
territories and so forth that failed to produce
expected sales.

10. Market Share Analysis:
y Company sales don¶t reveal how well the company is
performing relative to competitors.
y Overall market share- company¶s sales as a % of total
market sales.
y Served market share- a % of the total sales to the
market.
y Relative market share- market share in relationship
to the largest competitor.

11. Conclusions from market share analysis:
y The assumption that outside forces affect all
companies in the same way is often not true.
y The assumption that a company¶s performance
should be judged against the average performance of
all companies is not always valid.
y If a new firm enters the industry, every existing
firm¶s market share might fall.
y Sometimes a market share decline is deliberately
engineered to improve profits.
y Market share can fluctuate for many minor reasons.

12. y Overall market share= Customer
Penetration*Customer loyalty*Customer
selectivity*Price selectivity

13. Marketing expense-to-sales Analysis
y To ensure that the company is not overspending to
achieve sales goals.
y Includes components like sales force to sales,
advertising to sales, sales promotion to sales,
marketing research to sales, sales administration to
sales etc.
y Need to monitor period to period fluctuations in
each ratio on control charts.
y Control charts explains whether the company has
good expense control or it has lost control over its
expenses.

14. Financial Analysis
y To identify the factors that affect the company¶s rate
of return on net worth.
y These factors include profit margin, asset turnover
which is the product of return on assets and financial
leverage.
y To improve its return on net worth, the company
must increase its ratio of net profits to assets or the
ratio of assets to net worth.
y The company should also analyze the components of
its assets and make the needed improvements.

environment, objectives, strategies, and activities,
