This course examines four key dimensions - marketing concept, marketing environment, marketing mix and marketing in practice. Students will study the marketing concept and key principles underpinning the modern concept of marketing in comparison with other organisational orientations. Contextualisation of the marketing function will allow a comprehensive examination of the impact of environmental factors on marketing activities and consumer behaviour. To develop an integrated perspective of marketing, core marketing tools such as the marketing mix - product development, distribution, promotion, and pricing will be considered. Application of marketing in practice will be examined through examples of marketing success and failures, with students gaining an awareness of effective information management in the marketing process.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
