The methodology of the course is based on interactive classes. The teacher will provide the theoretical framework and tools for its practical implementation. You will find the outlines in the course Website. Use these outlines to prepare yourselves for the next class. We will not cover the full book and the outlines will guide the students to prepare and study the key points that will be discussed in lectures. Lectures are meant to be interactive. Students should read in advance the text chapters. In addition, they are strongly encouraged to read the press and to share their ideas and thoughts with the class. An effective way to help students learn about marketing management is the actual implementation of a marketing plan for a product or service. A project is designed to accomplish such a task. The class will be divided into groups and work with a real brand. During the semester, each of the elements of the marketing plan, coordinating with the text chapter, will be due for teacher review through written assignments and oral presentations.
