The  Content of the particular Course, which is related to the Science (and “art”) of Marketing, can be described as the definition of Marketing indicates, namely: “… the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for consumers, clients, partners, and society at large.”  (American Marketing Association, 2008) .

Since the ultimate goal of Marketing is nothing but the mutual satisfaction of all involved parties in a particular exchange, aiming to build a long-lasting relationship, Marketing is perceived  mostly  as a  mindset rather than a managerial field.

This is  the perspective of the particular course which will utilize all modern theories and available strategic tools.

Moreover, the intention is that the broader strategic thinking which is necessary for the proper implementation of marketing will be passed to students also.

  • The Core notions and terms (like the Need, Value, long-lasting Relationship)
  • the Context in which the Marketing is implemented  (like the external micro- and macro-environment)
  • the Perspectives and Strategic tools that allow its effective implementation (like Research, and Business Ethics as well as S-T-P tool)
  • the Fields of implementation (product / services, b2b, b2c, social, organizational, digital / non digital..)
  • the Strategic tools of Marketing management (7Ps)
  • the Strategic planning of  Marketing as well as the tool of Marketing plan: [structure – content – perspective – prerequisites of an effective and efficient planning]  will be covered.

At the completion of the Course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamental concepts of Marketing, [like: Need, Wish/Desire, Demand/Supply, Value, Expectation and Satisfaction, Exchange and Long lasting relationship, as well as the S-T-P strategic tool: segmentation – targeting and positioning, Brand and Brand building, Marketing mix: (7Ps) and other related to the micro- and macro-environment].
  • Gain the necessary perspective of Marketing thinking that relates the particular scientific field with other social sciences, like Sociology and Psychology, as well as other fields like Research and Statistics.
  • Assess marketing practices from the Greek and the international environment
  • Determine the challenges as well as the opportunities that the b2b, b2c or social marketing sub-fields are facing  in the 21th century.
  • Implement the necessary 7Ps activities in a synergistic way and in the context of the strategic marketing planning process.
