Academic Year 2023/2024

This module emphasises the need for managers in every function and at each level to understand the key marketing challenges facing their organisation and to explore options to effectively and profitably respond. Evidence from the marketplace is that firms who are driven by the market and who integrate marketing with their overall strategy, grow more and achieve higher profits. Together we will explore how marketing impacts on marketplace performance and sustains competitive advantage. We will consider how to navigate the key environmental changes that exist in the global marketplace. This module will also enhance your understanding of marketing from a strategic perspective.
