Learning outcomes

The Marketing course will provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge regarding marketing from several perspectives. Marketing is the function and process for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging value for customers, clients, partners, supply chain members, and the entire society.
Students will learn marketing from the analytic- strategic-operational perspectives, in order to understand, with the large use of cases and examples, how marketing can support the identification and management of the customers base, the analysis of the environment, strengths and weaknesses, to finally implement the marketing management processes. The knowledge about strategic and operational marketing is essential for those students that aim at developing a carrier in private or public organizations, or in consultant companies.
At the end of the course, students will be able to propose practical solutions to real problems that firms may face, by utilizing all the strategic and practical marketing approaches.
