MKT4010H Brand Management

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module is designed to assess the ways in which brands, as a company asset, can be made to acquire and sustain value in the marketplace. The nature of alternative brands is analysed as well as the skills and tasks required of brand managers in order to manage and sustain brands. Consideration is given to brand management, navigation, value, opportunities, threats, and sustainability. The aim is to introduce the perspective of branding as an embedded element in sociological, anthropological, and psychological theories of consumer behaviour and culture, thereby looking beyond the rigid confines of purely `business' viewpoint. The course is devised around a blend of lectures, discussion and case studies.
