    OBJECTIVES
    The overall objective of the Course is to introduce students to the marketing decisions within an
    organization, from a global perspective. With this aim in mind, we will train participants to apply the
    basic concepts and techniques in marketing, so that they become familiar with the duties of a marketing
    manager. More specifically, students will be exposed to the development, evaluation, and
    implementation of marketing management in a global business environment.

    SYLLABUS
    This Core Course in Marketing has been structured in terms of four didactic Parts, each of them
    corresponding to 12 hours of class and made up of two Units. The four Parts are:
    Part 1. To introduce the participant to the fundamental principles of marketing, to the basic concepts
    and tools used in marketing, and to the importance of building customer relations.
    Part 2. To develop a marketing plan, including: the firm’s operating environment (macroenvironment
    and microenvironment), SWOT analysis, marketing strategy elements (segmentation, targeting, and
    positioning), as well as marketing mix elements (product, price, place, and promotion). To this end, we
    will assist students in learning how to apply these concepts and to practice making decisions through inclass
    case analyses.
    Part 3. To discuss how the international trade system, as well as economic, political-legal, and cultural
    environments affect a company`s international decisions, to describe the key approaches to entering
    into international markets, to explain how companies adapt their mixes as far as international markets
    are concerned, and to identify the major forms of international marketing organization.
    Part 4. To explain the importance of information for companies which expand their geographical market
    coverage, to define the international marketing information system, and to outline the steps in the
    marketing research process within a global environment.
