To introduce you to the role of marketing in organizations; 2. To teach the basic concepts and tools used in marketing, including: - Elements of marketing analysis: customers, competition, company - Elements of the marketing mix: the 4 P’s; 3. To assist in learning how to apply these concepts and to practice making decisions through: - In-class case analyses (exposing you to examples of successful and unsuccessful marketing applications in the first part of the course) - Final Project 4. To improve presentation and writing skills and provide opportunities to articulate and defend positions via written individual assignments and a group project and presentation. The overall theme of the course is to emphasize the process of thinking: qualitatively, quantitatively, and strategically, using concrete, real-life practical examples as specific exemplars, drawing from both traditional areas of marketing as well as newer areas including online social media and pharmaceutical marketing.
