Description

Marketing is concerned with identifying and satisfying customers' and consumers' needs. Its aim is to ensure that the business is able to anticipate changes in these needs, and to gain and retain customers efficiently and profitably.

Although marketing is concerned with satisfying these needs, its scope goes far beyond the process of selling goods and services. Indeed, to be truly effective, the marketing process needs to be present throughout the entire business process, building on a broad understanding of the markets which the business serves, designing into the product or service the characteristics which consumers and customers will find attractive and ensuring that the entire business adopts policies and strategies that cater for their needs.

Marketing is sometimes presented as a discrete, specialized function or as a set of techniques. But as this marketing course will make clear, a more appropriate understanding of marketing only emerges when it is viewed as a business philosophy or as a principle around which the business can be organized and managed.

This course looks at topics such as:

  • Introduction to Marketing Management
  • Approaches to Environmental Monitoring in Marketing
  • The Characteristics of Industrial, Consumer and Service markets
  • Market Segmentation
  • The Marketing Mix
  • Communication in Marketing
  • Market Research
  • The Nature and Role of Marketing Analysis
  • Changing Market Structures and the Implications for Channel Relationships
