MANAGEMT 7124OL - Marketing for Managers

Online - Online Teaching 3 - 2021

Marketing lies at the core of all enterprise activity. Whatever the character or size of your entity, its revenue and resources can come from only one place - the marketplace. Whether the enterprise is Private or Public Sector, Not for Profit or Start-up, all enterprises are dependent on interactions with customers, donors, buyers or clients. This is the central tenet to marketing. In larger enterprises it is marketing managers who are primarily responsible for keeping their company close to these 'customers'. In the majority of today's enterprises this thinking is embedded into many roles. This course offers an introduction to marketing thought and action. The course explains the nature and purpose of marketing and the fundamentals of each of the most important marketing tasks. It analyses the need for customer orientation, the evaluation of markets and the targeting of market opportunities. It examines consumer and 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.

    Your Managing Director is considering your enterprise’s direction for the next 5 years. They are aware of you undertaking this course in your MBA and have asked you to prepare a document that provides a summary of the enterprise’s marketing – along with any thoughts you may have as to how aspects of this are in need of change or in fact support the current operations.

    To some extent, this is a report on the marketing plan, along with suggestions of what you believe should be actioned to achieve goals.

    Using your Marketing Profile Report as the basis, structure your report 2000 word (±10%) to include an executive summary, an
    introduction that outlines key areas of concern needing action and elements you believe the best present your argument. This might include dealing with each of the areas of price, product, promotion and distribution – along with people, processes and physical evidence. Alternatively, you may target your recommendations to meet objectives best through only selected areas. Remember that not everything always needs to, nor can be, actioned.

    Use any of the frameworks presented in the text and readings to justify your opinion – remember, the purpose of using theory or frameworks is to support and justify your opinion rather than relying on others to simply trust your expertise.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
