Description

Marketing presented as an organisational process of adapting to a changing environment, including aspects of product development, promotion, distribution and pricing.

The core of this course revolves around marketing planning and strategic decision making.  It builds upon the marketing principles reviewed in MKTG100 and delves deeper into key emerging topics in the marketing environment.  Lectures and discussions introduce students to the concepts underlying market opportunity analysis and the development, implementation and control of strategic marketing programmes.  Students will learn to work as part of a team to develop and present marketing cases and their own marketing plan in a simulated “Dragons Den” format at the end of the course.

Material quoted from any other source must be clearly acknowledged. You must not copy the work of another person (student or published work) in any assessment including examinations, tests and assignments. Any person, who is found to have copied someone else's work, or to have allowed their work to be copied, will receive a fail grade for that piece of assessment and may face disciplinary action which may lead to a fine, community service or exclusion from the university.
