Marketing Management BMA351

Introduction

The demand for trained, experienced and effective marketing practitioners is growing.
Marketing is a discipline that seeks to ‘make sense’ of the commercial world around us, a skill that can benefit any enterprise. As such, more and more firms (including government agencies and non-profit organisations) are seeking people capable of putting marketing theory into practice by formulating and implementing effective marketing plans.

This unit introduces you to the theories underpinning marketing strategy, and their role in the development of an effective marketing plan. This unit also allows you to integrate and apply the knowledge gained in your previous studies to solve real-world marketing problems.
