Description & Objective
The primary objective of MKTG 3100 is to develop your marketing vocabulary and analytical skills. You will work on (A) managerial-relevant formulae that you are expected to know and apply in a business setting, (B) developing a strategic direction for your brand and making a managerial-oriented recommendation, and (C) implementing tactical decisions to improve your brand’s top and bottom line performance. This skill development will occur through a variety of approaches including in-class discussion, cases, and simulation. Increasingly, businesses are driven by analytics.
