Description/content

Learning Objectives:

This course introduces students to the pivotal role of marketing within organisations. It focuses on marketing strategy as a cohesive, integrated plan aimed at meeting consumer needs and facilitating successful exchanges. Case studies and real-world examples are used to familiarise students with the subject.

By the end of the course, students will have a solid grasp of key strategic marketing challenges and be equipped to make informed marketing and management decisions.

Teaching Concept:

We believe that successful management hinges on both "doing the right things" and "doing things right". This often involves making choices from numerous options with outcomes that only become evident over time. We provide the expertise to tackle decision-making challenges in market-based management, offering both specialised knowledge and training in applying and deriving marketing strategies and interpreting the final results.
