KFIN 2770A - Fundamentals of marketing

A central field in the understanding of our economy, marketing goes much beyond its classic definition of promoting products or services to sell them. As the business world is shifting under the influence of the digital revolution towards new paradigms of customer centricity, brand contents, disintermediation and retail excitement - among others - marketing mission needs to be revisited and redefined. This course will explore not only the academic concepts of marketing but also the new approaches that challenge them, to enable students to develop a business situations problem setting approach and problem solving attitude. It will be based on reflections on classic and new companies cases, from various business environments and models
