Course overview
In this course students will integrate their knowledge of marketing developed through participation in various courses into a comprehensive understanding of marketing as a part of overall business management. It also exposes students to the vagaries of competition and provides practical experience in dealing with this fundamental issue. The course provides students some real-world experience of working as a Product Marketing Manager, exposing them to both the highs and the lows resulting from their business and marketing decisions. Students reflect on what they have already learnt and integrate all their business and marketing thinking, in a team-based competitive marketing strategy simulation - StratSim (Strategic Management Simulation).
