Professional strategic marketing is the key business function of successful companies. This module will give a thorough understanding of how to gain and sustain competitive advantage with a range of marketing skills and tools. A sound strategy helps to pursue a long term vision. Companies are constantly pushed to designing products and services delivering customer value while not only responding to but also anticipating contextual changes. Well executed pricing strategies enable to capture created value for the firm and stick to value-based pricing. Customer is the focal point of all marketing decisions and creating meaningful customer experiences is a complicated task in a cluttered and competitive economy. Rigorous measurement and usage of agreed metrics is inevitable to avoid just pleasing and entertaining the customers while sacrificing the profit of the company.
The primary target group for this module is marketing specialists who are in career transition to managerial positions with higher strategic responsibilities, managers of SMBs who have relied mainly on organic growth so far and seek to take a more rigorous and controlled approach to marketing, and master students specializing in marketing.
The module topics are delivered by faculty of EBS and renowned international teachers and specialists with solid track record in their respective areas.
Objective
