MARKETNG 7104 - Marketing Management (M)

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 3 - 2025

Marketing lies at the core of all business. Whatever the character or size of your entity, its profit can come from only one place; the marketplace. All businesses are dependent on the income they earn from their customers, clients or buyers. In most larger businesses it is marketing managers who are primarily responsible for keeping their company close to its customers. In any case, all those who have a direct responsibility for identifying, reaching and satisfying customers are engaged in marketing and everybody in a business needs to understand its marketplace activities. This course offers a complete introduction to professional marketing thought and action. The course explains the nature and purpose of marketing, followed by the fundamentals of each of the most important marketing tasks. It analyses the business need for customer orientation, the evaluation of markets and the targeting of market opportunities. There is then assessment of buyer behaviour and the role of market information. In addition, the course explains how to integrate product and service decisions with those on pricing, distribution and promotion - and why this is necessary.

Learning & Teaching Modes

This course consists of weekly sessions which include lectures, tutorials and case study discussions. You MUST be prepared to enter discussions during the sessions.

We will also strongly support the face to face work with digital content through the MyUni platform. This will include:
• Broadcast Emails
• Powerpoints
• Lecture recordings on video
• Bi-weekly self check tests (Quizzes)
• Digital Feedback on assignments – PDF of assignment rubric & video feedback (MP4)

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

As a guide, a 3 unit course comprises a total of 156 hours work (this includes face-to-face contact, any online components, and self-directed study).

Students in this course are expected to attend all lecture sesions (all lectures will be posted as videos online) throughout the trimester and engage with the online learning content in the relevant weeks.

The 3 hour weekly seminar has a flexible format. The amount of time presenting actual lecture material and tutorials may vary based on the topic requirements.

Students are expected to prepare for each session as detailed in Learning Activities Summary. The required readings assist in extending knowledge of the weekly topic. Tutorial questions and/or discussion case studies will involve student participation and presentation. Case studies should be read as students are expected to ask questions and discuss the material. The 'Marketing Advice Report' will also be covered in each session during tutorial time, to help students work towards their final assignment.

All required readings, case studies, session lecture slides and session Echo 360 recordings are available in MyUni Canvas course module.

Additional reading materials (i.e. articles, examples, charts or tables), may from time to time be also posted in the MyUni module to enhance learning.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment	Weight	Basis
Assignment #1: Participation - In class and Case study discussions	10%	Individual
Assignment #2: Online Quizzes	25%	Individual
Assignement #3: Marketing Advice Report - 3000-3500 words Problem/scope to be negotiated with lecturer	30%	Group work
Assignment #4: Case analysis	35%	Individual

Rubric details of assessments are available in the Course Outline provided in the course's MyUni.

Assessment Detail

ASSIGNMENT #1: Student Participation
This assssment relates to the student's involvement in the sessions.

By the end of the course, the lecturer will know their students. They will have spent a fair bit of time in a classroom and tutorial with them, seen some projects and taken attendance. This is ample opportunity for them to allocate 10% of the course mark to the quality of their contribution. This can be confronting for some people, but part of the transition to senior manager role involves being prepared to comment when the opportunity arises.

So this component of assessment in the course is essentially around the session’s tutorial/discussion time (case study, discussion questions, general participation, textbook marketing plan presentations), but general engagement within the class lectures is good too.

The assessment is the intructor's subjective perception of the student’s contribution to the discussion of marketing concepts, principles and examples.

ASSIGNMENT #2: Quizzes
There will be five (5) quizzes given throughout the trimester. The quizzes will relate to material covered in the sessions and textbook in the preceding weeks.

Correct answers will be available for students the following week.

ASSIGNMENT #3: Marketing Advice Report
Students will be allocated into groups and will act as consultants to the company of their choice.

As a group, they are required to provide marketing advice to their client. This is loosely in the form of a marketing plan and needs to follow the rubric provided to the students.

Each week’s lecture and discussion content build to assist the students in creating this piece of marketing advice.

It is also recommended that the students review Preparing a Marketing Plan prepared by Dr. Chris Medlin. This is available in the course's MyUni module.

ASSIGNMENT #4: Case Analysis

Students will be randomly assigned one of the case studies. Students will need to cover three parts in their case analysis.

1. Case summary (300-350 words): company info, product, target market, competition, and case's issues.

2. Critical analysis (800-850 words): Students need to discuss how the Business’ practices/Activities are in line with or contrary to marketing theories/concepts. Through critical analysis, students will discuss ALL the KEY business practices and why these business practices have led to positive (success) or negative (problems) results.

3. Recommendations (400-450 words): Based on the case's issues and business practices discussion, students should recommend at least two solutions to solve the identified case's issues.

Submission

Presentation of Assignments
• Please must retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
• All assignments must be submitted electronically through the MyUni assignments portal
• Please attach an ‘Assignment Cover Sheet’, which is signed and dated by you before submission.
• All group assignments must be attached to a ‘Group Assignment Cover Sheet’, which must be signed and dated by all group members before submission. All team members are expected to contribute approximately equally to a group assignment.
• Lecturers can refuse to accept assignments which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the 最新糖心Vlog’s policy on plagiarism.

No Resubmission
Once your paper is in, it’s in. You can’t take your assessed paper, rework it and resubmit it.

Re-Marking / Disputes
The markers work very closely for consistency. We mark to rubrics (that you have) and we consult throughout the marking process. If you wish to dispute a mark you’ve been given, you need to raise it with the lecturer in charge within a week, giving the areas (referring to the rubric) that you think deserve more attention. You might get an email in response, but you’ll probably be asked to come in and see the lecturer.

Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by according to the schedule below. Submitting your assignment late (with or without an extension) also means you miss the primary marking cycle; it probably will get returned to you a lot later than your classmates get theirs.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
