History

The exact origin of the dance is unknown, but it is an unmistakable blend of African, Latin American and Spanish influences. The Zamacueca, an Afro-Peruvian dance and the tondero, are the most immediate precursors to the marinera. Though the marinera dance style had also been around for centuries in Peru, it gained the name "marinera" in honor of the Peruvian Navy or the Marina de Guerra del Peru in 1879 when it entered war with Chile. Prior to the War of the Pacific, it had been called La Chilena, but due to the hostile situation, in a patriotic moment, it was agreed to be renamed.

En su estrategia de internacionalización, Marinera exporta desde hace 14 años a los principales mercados como Estados Unidos, España, Francia, Japón y el Caribe, ofreciendo productos de mar congelados, muy apetecidos por su excelente calidad: langosta entera, colas de langosta, camarón rosado, camarón de cultivo, filetes de caracol, mero y pargo.
En el caso de Marinera, no es una empresa con un posicionamiento reconocido en el mercado; y a pesar de atravesar un proceso de renovación identidad corporativa, la nueva imagen son letras turquesas sobre fondo azul ultramar, y no logra generar impacto y recordación en la mente de los consumidores.
Marinera igualmente resulta ganadora, ya que al alinear el sistema integral de utilidad, precio y actividades de costo de la empresa se logra fortalecer el músculo financiero de la empresa, y se superan las expectativas de las directivas y sus propietarios.

RESUMEN DEL CASO C.I. En 1.988 Marinera abre su operación como una empresa dedicándose a la extracción, el procesamiento industrial y comercialización de pescados y mariscos a nivel nacional e internacional, enfocada en el canal de las instituciones donde alcanzó un alto posicionamiento.
En esta situación se evidencia la falta de una estrategia de nivel corporativo que le permita a Marinera reorientar sus actividades y recursos a las nuevas condiciones del mercado interno, donde espera ampliar su participación y reconocimiento.
Adicionalmente, en su planta de Cartagena, Marinera prestó el servicio de procesamiento y almacenamiento de pescados y mariscos a cultivadores de camarón y otras especies, para procesar sus productos propios.
