Catalog Description
Examination of the strategic and managerial role of the marketing manager in fostering a market driven orientation
and in understanding the pursuit of a sustainable competitive advantage in chosen markets.
Prerequisites: MKT
3410. You must have completed the prerequisite to be in the class.
Purpose of Course
Marketing is a dynamic process designed to achieve distinctive strategic competence and global advantage.
This
is accomplished through value-added marketing activities and operations that are designed to create and sustain
long-term relationships. The purpose of this course is to create and maintain conscious, successful marketing by
taking the best from traditional marketing theory and practice and combining it with contemporary, innovative approaches
to meeting challenges in a fast-paced, technological, and often uncertain environment.
That is, this course is intended to expand
your awareness of marketing strategy in the real world and to empower you to consciously
and ethically use marketing to uplift
and improve your life and the lives of others.
The course objective is to familiarize the student with four major areas in strategic marketing management: (1) an introduction to strategic marketing management, (2) marketing opportunity analysis and achieving competitive advantage, (3) implementing marketing mix strategies, and (4) managing and controlling strategic marketing efforts. As such, successful strategies and tactics will be examined in the areas of segmentation, targeting, and positioning as well as in product, pricing, distribution, and communication. Students will develop marketing plans consistent with the theoretical and strategic concepts presented in the course. In addition, company examples, personal experience, class discussions and participation, individual and group presentations, class lectures, trade publications and journals, the Internet, and guest speakers will be used in the course.
