Description

Marketing plays a vital role in creating sustainable competitive advantage for organisations with limited resources, and that operate in dynamic competitive environments. In doing so marketing provides the focus for creating and maintaining value for customers and organisational profit. Drawing from a preliminary review of basic marketing concepts and processes, Marketing Management develops a set of key analytical tools to enhance managers' understanding of, and the ability to, manage key strategic issues and decisions. Marketing Management and Planning is designed as a beneficial stand-alone unit for all managers and provides a strong foundation for further marketing studies.
