Course Content
|
Perspectives in Marketing concentrate on the principles of marketing from a conceptual and analytical perspective. The course analyses and discusses the challenges and issues of international marketing in relation to e.g. the following perspectives:
- Transaction cost versus relationship marketing.
- Service marketing versus product marketing.
- Business-to-business marketing versus business to-consumer marketing.
Based on these themes in marketing we proceed to provide insights in the marketing research process. Perspectives in Marketing thus aims at combining the theoretical understanding with practical application through case analysis and discussions.
A major part of the course is a project work, which will be carried out in groups of 4 Danish and foreign students. Groups are to carry out a marketing research project for a specific firm. Preferably, a full study should be performed, but due to limitations in time, pilot studies may be accepted, if the design part covers a full-scale market study. Groups are expected to find their own company contacts. |
