Description

This full-session program will examine the art and science of marketing, as reflected in the theories, models, and techniques employed in the discipline today. In the first session, we will cover the basic concepts and theories of marketing, including the analytical tools used by professionals in the field. In the second session, the focus shifts to marketing as a contemporary, real-world practice, including segmentation, targeting, and differentiation strategies with an overview of topics related to product, distribution, communications, and pricing issues. While the program can be taken safely as an introductory course, the readings and assignments will be comparable to a second year marketing management course.
