Learning outcomes

This Marketing course will cover marketing under analytic-strategic-operational perspectives to understand the implementation of marketing processes. The student will learn why and how 'Marketing' is the activity for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that benefit its customers, the organization, its stakeholders, and society at large. This course seeks to teach students marketing concepts, often by having them actually “do marketing”—by putting them in the shoes of a marketing manager facing actual marketing decisions. At the end of this course, students will be able to apply marketing concepts to solve real problems, and to create a marketing plan for a virtual or a real case. This application will enable students to conduct an environmental scanning, analyze markets and consumer behaviours, take strategic and operational decisions and measure their results.
