Unit description
New ventures live or die by their ability to commercialise their first product or service and be able to successfully market their offerings to survive the start-up period. New venture marketers need a strategic vision of what value their new venture brings to consumers and how to compete against the products and services of established firms. A core skill for entrepreneurs, new product managers and those responsible for marketing in new ventures is that they are expected to be champions for new product innovations. This unit develops students’ knowledge to identify, develop and market new ventures market offerings. Students learn how to take a new ventures offering and commercialise it. Students learn how to conceive, develop, evaluate and implement innovative marketing strategies for new ventures offerings to the market. |
