Marketing

Evaluating the impact of marketing strategies and tactics on consumers, brands, firms, and competition.

Marketing provides insights into customer needs, ideas for developing new products, and strategic plans for profitably launching these products in a competitive marketplace.

Marketing knowledge is indispensible in today’s turbulent business environment. Consumers are inundated with information through the internet, cell phones, satellite television and personal digital assistants. More and more products are being launched in an already crowded marketplace. The world is becoming flat as globalization affects the way people work, interact with others, and choose products in their daily lives.

Professors of marketing at the Desautels Faculty of Management are focused on real-world challenges presented by today’s business environment. Through rigorous research the marketing faculty is developing new insights into sustainable competitive advantage for the 21st century.
