About This Course
The term marketing refers to more than advertising, social media, sales, and promotions. Marketing has been defined as "an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers, and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders." This course takes you through the fascinating worlds of consumer behavior, market research, the marketing mix, strategic marketing, digital advertising, and many others. It introduces the terminology of marketing and skills of marketing management, including the creation of a marketing plan. It demonstrates how marketing relates to other functional areas within an organization and emphasizes the importance of an ethical, global view.
