Marketing plays a vital role in business growth. It is a broad general management responsibility and not specific to marketing specialists alone. Customer-oriented and competitive marketing strategies are critical to business success. This course explores contemporary marketing management—including market segmentation, brand positioning, distribution channel design and communications to develop an effective customer-centric marketing strategy. This module covers the drivers of marketing decisions: how to build a marketing plan; consumer behavior and the buying process; and segmentation, targeting, positioning, and branding. You’ll learn market segmentation and target selection, and apply strategy frameworks to evaluate internal capabilities, customer dynamics, collaborative partnerships, competitive forces, and the broader economic climate.
