Marketing is primarily concerned with the broad task of serving customers of the firm through providing them with the goods, services or ideas that best match their needs and wants. To achieve this, marketers must be aware of the context within which their decisions take place, they must develop products that customers want, set a price at which the customer will buy while realising a profit for the company, make the product available to customers in a convenient fashion and ensure that customers are aware of the products availability. This is a complex task, and involves the management of a multitude of internal and external forces. The outcome of this module will be to familiarise you with the vocabulary, tools and frameworks of marketing and to provide you with the ability to apply this knowledge in a variety of commercial settings.
