Overview

The course addresses the main concerns of marketing and highlights the significance of marketing in both large and small organisations, and also the importance of marketing for commercial and not-for-profit organisations.

Marketing takes place in a world of rapid change; it reflects these social and political changes as well as technological and economic trends. Marketing is taught here not as one more business function but as the key activity in helping firms to deliver a strong customer focus. This is the common element of today's successful companies.

The course will provide you with an understanding of the core marketing disciplines and introduce a range of issues of current importance to marketers. Marketing is practised all over the world and is relevant in business and government. Marketing is also in the front line of an organisation's attitude to social responsibility and corporate citizenship.
