This course is designed to give you the knowledge and competencies to be able to develop and implement appropriate marketing strategies in a dynamic and extremely competitive environment. The goal is to provide you with a good understanding of the logic regarding the various levels of strategy (i.e., corporate strategy, business level strategy, and marketing strategy) and how they are interconnected.

We will examine how a Strategic Business Unit creates the most effective marketing strategy, based on the level of competition, the market’s growth rate, the firm’s position in the market, the product portfolio, and the available resources.
