Unit description
Marketing strategy is fundamental to business success. Marketing strategy is what guides the development and delivery of the firms’ value offering. Marketing strategy outlines a company’s overall plan to reach, communicate with and turn people into customers. Marketing strategy contains key messages of value propositions that a company wishes to deliver to the market. In this unit students learn how to apply tools and concepts that enable marketing strategies to be developed, evaluated and implemented. The unit focuses on the analysis process: identifying information needs, acquiring the necessary information, interpreting it, and using it as the basis for business recommendations. |
