Unit information
Any successful business depends on the practice of marketing as a core business function.
Studying this unit will equip you with practical skills and knowledge in all fundamental aspects of marketing, including marketing research, required at the managerial level of organisations.
You will learn how to design, manage and balance the marketing mix of the four ‘P’s’: product, price, place and promotion as well as the extended marketing mix of the additional three ‘P’s’: people, process and physical evidence.
Taking an in-depth analytical and applied approach to studying consumer needs, developing and positioning products and services, and strategically implementing marketing objectives, you will learn to cater to consumers’ needs better than your competitors and to devise effective customer driven marketing strategies.
As part of this unit, you will complete a marketing plan for assessment.
