Goals
The course aims to develop a better understanding and awareness of how marketing- and supply chain-related issues are interrelated and thus require an integral management approach. This is achieved through the analysis and solution of a real-life problem at a case company by means of a market research project conducted in student teams.
Description
In today's internationally-oriented business environment it is crucial for prospective managers to familiar themselves with concepts and issues related to marketing and supply chain management. Developing a thorough understanding of basic concepts such as market research, marketing strategy, value propositions as well as knowing how to make use of the supply chain in international competitive markets to serve and satisfy customers are topics that will be covered in this course. Marketing & Supply Chain Management can be considered as an intermediate course for marketing and as an introduction course for Supply Chain Management. It builds upon the first year course 'Organisation and Marketing’ and introduces the basics of research methods and statistical analysis.
