BADM 371-01, Marketing Management I, Fall 2010

Abstract

Marketing Management I is organized around the study of marketing as an exchange process; i.e., how transactions are initiated, motivated, facilitated and consummated. You have studied demand in economics. In this course, you will examine theories, principles and practices aimed at explaining and managing demand—yes, managing demand! Moreover, you will examine the environment within which demand arises and is managed. I hope upon completion of this course you will have sufficient theoretical understanding of marketing principles to understand and explain marketing phenomena in a logically consistent manner. In order to facilitate this understanding, we’ll be using some very noted marketing models to aid in making marketing decisions. The homework exercises used in conjunction with these models will be an important component of the course.
