MKT4004D Marketing

Academic Year 2023/2024

This course will introduce the theory and key elements of marketing practice. It is taught from an applied viewpoint, in the context of the contemporary business environment. It is intended to provide a general framework for approaching current marketing issues. This course goes beyond the 4Ps (the marketing mix – price, product, promotion and place) to introduce recent insights drawn from new technologies, services marketing and relationship marketing and reflect on topical perspectives such as marketing ethics and postmodernism. This course views marketing as a series of connections, therefore, subjects and themes will link and tie into one another and as a result, you will come to understand marketing from a rounded, holistic perspective. Effective decision making and problem solving processes are also introduced by considering current business topics and case studies.
