Description
This module focuses on the practical application of marketing techniques and the management of a firm's marketing planning and marketing management activities and resources.
The module introduces students to the fundamental principles of marketing management by considering the strategic decisions that managers make around choosing target markets, developing a value proposition for target customers, and planning and making the firm’s offerings distinctive from those of competitors. The processes that translate marketing decisions into marketing programmes at the tactical level are considered. The role of marketing research in informing these decisions is also applied. Finally the module focuses on the practical issues around the implementation and control of the marketing programs discussed.
