Facilitators

Your tutor will be on hand to guide you through the course and will expect you to bring to bear personal experience and reflection on the topics covered.

If you have difficulty with any of the points in the session or any of the activities, you are advised to discuss these with your tutors and fellow participants.

What will you learn
  1. As a management function, marketing’s role is to scan the customer and competitor environment, proactively seeking opportunities and ways to cost-effectively respond to those opportunities. The impact of marketing and the contribution of marketing to organisational performance in the dynamic, globally competitive markets of today will be addressed in the course.
  2. Today's markets are characterised by rapidly changing customers' wants, accelerating pace of technological advances, and intensifying competition, presenting major challenges for both incumbent and upstart enterprises alike. For most organisations, marketing is a major determinant of success.
  3. Develop knowledge and understanding of key theories, concepts and models in marketing to guide the development and execution of marketing strategies, market planning and control.
  4. Develop the skills to critically analyse marketing situations facing organisations including marketing communication and sales strategy.
  5. Develop skills relating to marketing research and defending and justifying marketing case study analyses.
  6. Explain the challenges facing marketing decision-makers in the modern organisation, and to characterize and discuss the responses that are appropriate in a national and international context.
Benefits for Employers
  1. At the end of the course participants should have acquired comprehensive knowledge and practical experience about marketing in alignment with their needs and capabilities. Organisations will be able to receive more new referrals and increase their sales and customers' satisfaction.
  2. During the course, participants should be able to practice various marketing techniques such as building your own website with strong SEO tools to be ranked high in most relevant industry/business directories and platforms, use of social media with more attractive contents and customers' reviews and regular blogging and most importantly be able to help your organisation to select and employ a professional marketer to implement the organisation marketing strategy.
  3. After completion of the course, participants (supported by their tutor) will be able to write a report describing what they have learnt and what is particularly relevant to their organisations. They will be given the choice to focus on one single perspective or to build a hybrid model that will help their employers to achieve their marketing strategic and tactical goals. This will help reassure the employers of the benefits of the programme and help consolidate managers’ understanding.
