The course emphasizes the role of marketing in shaping and developing new ideas, the factors that affect pricing, channels through which products and services are distributed, elements of wholesaling and retailing, and the strategies, mechanisms and techniques behind advertising, direct sales and other forms of promotion. The impacts of changing lifestyles and international market forces on American buying patterns are analyzed; consumer and organizational buying behaviors are explored; and methods and resources for researching and segmenting markets are detailed. Discussions on careers in marketing, marketing management and an overview of the world's leading markets and businesses are also provided.
