Product Strategy

Overview

Within the context of the whole company marketing mix, the product takes on a primary and essential role. It is necessary to understand and know in depth the very concept of product and be able to make the right decisions with regards to its attributes of quality, style, design, packaging, labelling etc. Furthermore, in a modern enterprise, the product is usually part of a complex portfolio, making it therefore necessary to manage it in an integrated perspective, taking into account the variables related to the product mix.

Furthermore, a product manager must be able to effectively manage the development of new products and modulate marketing activities based upon the lifecycle phase of the product itself.
