Strategic Marketing Management BMA709

Introduction

To be successful, a company must develop competitive marketing strategies that effectively position its products against competitors and give it the strongest possible competitive advantage. The task of marketing management is to develop, maintain and/or defend an organisation's competitive position based on strategic planning that aligns with its objectives, skills, and resources and changing market opportunities. Within this context, the focus of this unit is on developing students' knowledge and skills to develop marketing strategy, manage the organisation's strategic marketing management activities and develop an effective marketing plan. There are three modules within which students will cover the theoretical foundations of marketing management, key aspects related to operationalising marketing management, and then contemporary issues that are particularly significant in the modern context. Overall, this unit allows students to integrate and apply the knowledge gained in their previous studies of marketing.
