Overview
Elements of marketing strategy are considered to establish a framework that incorporates marketing within the overall corporate planning process. Processes such as competitor analysis, market segmentation, and positioning are examined within a global context.
MART 301 is the capstone marketing course designed to bring together all the knowledge that students have gathered from their other marketing courses. This course has been designed based on the Circular Markstrat simulation software. It aims to develop job-ready skills for students to become active members in any marketing department. It also aims to utilise marketing concepts, principles, tools, and ways of thinking, drawing on marketing knowledge acquired in previous semesters to develop skills and competence through extended practice in a dynamic market under the watchful eye of a training coach.
MART 301 integrates the learning content of the marketing discipline, develops strategic planning and execution skills, and crystallises the links between marketing decisions and financial performance.
