SYNOPSIS

Marketing is a central function of all organisations that serve a client base. Identifying and meeting the needs of key customer groups is critical to achieving organisational objectives. This course provides an overview of the theories and principles of marketing required for effective business practice. This course provides an introduction to the marketing function of the organisation. The focus is on how organisations identify the needs of their target markets, understand the buying behaviour of their target markets, and develop a marketing mix (comprising product, price, promotion and placement) to satisfy the needs and wants of these markets. While the course has a theoretical base, practical application of the concepts of marketing to 'real-world' situations is an essential element.
