Marketing in Complex Societies MBE703
Introduction
Like all business operations, marketing is undergoing a transformation in response to complex and dynamic business environments. The evolution of marketing thought is progressing beyond a customer orientation, to the adoption of an ecosystem perspective whereby marketing can be a driver of competitive advantage in the face of market disruption, global change, and evolving consumer and societal needs. The purpose of this unit is threefold. Firstly, it will provide you with insight into practical marketing frameworks and tools used to market product offerings. Secondly, you will delve into trends currently shaping marketing practice. These include the impact of new technologies, the use of marketing to create shared value in an ecosystem characterised by blurring government, private, not-for-profit, and social sector boundaries, and the role of marketing in achieving sustainability goals. Thirdly, you will consider exemplars of marketing practice drawn from a variety of practical contexts and use your knowledge to reflect on the implications of marketing change in a particular business context. This unit will challenge you to think both ethically and critically about the future direction of marketing practice within an organisational and societal setting.
