Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

This course provides students with an introduction to the core principles, theories, and concepts of marketing, with a special focus on the challenges of companies operating in multiple European and global markets, and thus a greater societal context. Subjects covered include marketing planning and market research; innovation management; managing products and services; branding; managing prices, distribution, and promotion; relationship marketing; use of technology in marketing. The goal of this course is not only to provide an overview of the basic principles of marketing-related activities within firms, but also to demonstrate how an understanding of the wider global context which companies are embedded in influences long-term success.

Description of the teaching methods
The course draws on a combination of online pre-recorded lectures, exercises, as well as online activities.
Class lectures and exercises are used to familiarize with, discuss, and apply different core principles, theories, and concepts of marketing in a European and global context. Preparation of lectures/exercises and follow-up work are based on self-guided online sessions (e.g., videos), online activities (e.g., quizzes), and group work (e.g. presentations, written reports) that provide more in-depth information on the various course topics.
The course follows a problem-oriented approach by discussing topics using real-world cases that exemplify the different approaches of international marketing. This allows students to critically reflect the activities of companies targeting multiple European and global markets and to practice analyzing actual business situations.
Feedback during the teaching period
The students will receive feedback on their online activities (e.g., quizzes, short essays) and on their oral presentations during class discussions.
