    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.

    This paper focuses on business-level marketing strategy. You will acquire an understanding of the tools that strategists use to assess business situations. You will have the opportunity to use these tools to diagnose situations and generate information from which strategies are formulated and marketing plans are prepared. Much of the paper is grounded on case-based learning situations. This approach helps you to develop diagnostic, critical and communication skills.
