DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING
The central idea behind marketing is that a firm (or other entity) will create something (e.g., a product or service)
of value to one or more customers who, in turn, are willing to pay enough (or contribute other forms of value) to
make the venture worthwhile.
The value of the product or service offered by the firm must be examined from the customer’s point of view.
Some customer segments value certain product attributes more than others. A very expensive product — relative
to others in the category—may, in fact, represent great value to a particular segment of customers, because the
benefits received are seen as even greater than the sacrifices made (usually in terms of money). For others, this
product may be less important, but they strive for a good quality, and would be willing to pay a medium price for
it. A third segment of customers may simply want a “lower quality” item for a low price.
The continuous creation of value of a firm to its target customers requires several interlinked decisions from the
firm. It requires planning and executing decisions that will help the company in making the right product
available at the right time, at the right place, against an acceptable price, and in communicating to the right
people in the appropriate way.
COURSE GOALS
The overall objective of the course is to introduce students to the important concepts of marketing and to get
them apply these concepts when making marketing decisions. So, the learning during the course will consist of
more than just acquiring or familiarization with knowledge. Being able to apply the concepts and models is just
as important as the reproduction of what has been written in the textbook or told during the lectures.
Additionally, students will gain the skills needed to write a marketing plan by focusing on planning, analysis of
environmental and market factors, experiencing market research first-hand, interpreting consumer data and
deriving appropriate marketing recommendations.
