Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

For Western - especially for European - companies establishing a competitive position in the Asian markets requires different skills to capture market insights, and develop marketing strategies and plans. The course introduces the basics of marketing management with special focus on the Asian markets.

 The course will introduce tools to manage market research and to analyze consumers- and business markets. The course will focus on factors affecting the company’s options in the marketplace, such as institutional challenges, competitors in the targeted markets, consumer culture and company’s internal resource, and will discuss needs for adjusting a marketing plan (product positioning and communication) in a targeted market.

The course intends to integrate the analysis of quantitative data collected from Asian markets (e.g. from China and Japan) for facilitating students’ interpretation of real-life consumers in the markets.
 
Description of the teaching methods
- The course consists of a combination of lectures, exercise lessons (group assignments and peer-reviews) and a workshop.
- A high degree of student involvement is strived for, including students’ own insights drawing on their own experience and background
Feedback during the teaching period
Through a group-based assignment, the course will integrate the "blended learning" concept and will facilitate "student to student feedback" as well as teachers' feedbacks to each group assignment in the class and online.

Feedback is further offered in response to your questions and work whenever feasible although please appreciate that there are often time constraints. Please feel free to take full advantage of the ‘office hours’ offered by full-time staff members, although these can never be a substitute for participation in lectures and classes. We also encourage you to ask questions or make comments in class and form self-study groups to secure peer feedback on your work.
