PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND


Marketing is an exciting, fast-paced, and contemporary business discipline. We are always engaged in marketing activities, either as buyers or as sellers. Marketing managers make marketing-related decisions like choosing who customers are, what goods and services to offer, where to sell these goods and services, the features to stress in ads, and the prices. They also determine how to be ethical and socially responsible, and whether to sell products globally (in addition to domestically).

This intensive marketing program is for all marketers, including those wanting to brush up on their skills or upgrade their knowledge, and for those without a formal marketing background. Loaded with examples and practical applications, this program is designed to bring you quickly up-to-speed and to provide you with the tools to make you and your organization a success.

It blends theory and practice to facilitate immediate implementation and impact. You will learn to develop a strategic marketing plan for organizational implementation and integration with sales and customer plans. A review of the marketing environment (social, economic, legal, regulatory, competitive, and technological forces) is used to help develop the segmentation, targeting and market positioning strategy for implementation along with the marketing mix (product, price, place and promotion). The goal is the identification and delivery of organizational competitive advantage and customer satisfaction – key to long-term revenue growth, profitability and success.
