Unit information
Marketing is a core function in any successful business. No matter your role in the professional world, a sound understanding of marketing will enhance your career.
This unit will equip you with the skills to successfully manage marketing activities and generate insights into how marketing relates to the overall functioning of a business.

You will learn to set objectives, develop strategies, and examine implementation and control mechanisms for marketing. You will investigate ways to manage exchange processes between stakeholders, and conduct environmental, industry and competitor analyses.
Putting your skills and knowledge into practice, you will prepare a marketing plan as part of this unit.
