Content

The 'Marketing' lecture investigates how to run a company in a market-oriented manner. Marketing, defined as the 'market-oriented management of a company', aims to align all central activities of a company with the needs of its various market partners. At the same time, the aim is to pursue relevant (monetary) corporate objectives, e.g., maximization of profit or value. In this course you will learn concepts and methods that will enable you to analyse key tasks associated with marketing and to devise soundly based recommendations for action to deliver successful outcomes to these tasks. We will examine how consumers respond to marketing activities and why they do so (consumer behavior). We will also examine how information about markets and market partners can be generated as a key basis for decision-making (market research), how markets can be approached from a strategic perspective and how individual marketing instruments can be deployed. In this context, 'marketing' also embraces the finding of optimum solutions to problems, because marketing instruments must be deployed in an optimal (profit-maximizing) manner. What is the optimal price of my product? How much should I invest in communication activities? To answer these questions, we will use mathematical methods that enable us to identify the (economic) conditions, which need to be satisfied to ensure that the marketing instruments are deployed in an optimal manner.
