Course Short Description
Consumer Behavior Students learn that marketing begins and ends with the consumer, from understanding consumer needs to post-purchase satisfaction. They study consumer psychology and its implications for both business and personal reasons.
Marketing Strategy

This course introduces modern marketing management techniques and the fundamentals of modern marketing practice; specifically, the four tactical Ps—price, promotion, product, and place (distribution)—through the structural lens of the three Cs—customer, competition, and company.
Developing New Products and Services (also offered as a Lab)

Through company-sponsored, real-world innovation projects, students gain an in-depth understanding of current practices in new-product development, especially in the early, up-front stages of product development. The Lab version of this course provides students with an in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art practices in new product/service innovation, with an emphasis on the early up-front stages of the innovation process using Design Thinking methods.
