Marketing

Descriptif

This course aims to familiarize students, as future managers, engineers, and entrepreneurs, with the importance of the adoption of the sustainable marketing approach in the XXI century. Using cases from around the world (Europe, North America, Africa, South America, Middle East and Asia) it proves that sustainable marketing is neither a myth nor an oxymoron, though for the marketers there are still many ways for improvement. This course highlights how sustainable development and marketing fit together, in a what way sustainable marketing differs from traditional marketing and how to design a basic sustainable marketing strategy in simple steps.

The course is designed around the process of creation, communication, and delivery of customer value by defining sustainable marketing as socially and environmentally responsible actions that meet the present needs of consumers and businesses while preserving or enhancing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This is an engaging and highly interactive course in which the instructor relies on the “Learning-by-doing” approach – a concept in educational theory according to which student productivity can be achieved through practice, self-perfection and minor innovations.
