Aims |
|
The module aims to provide a grounded appreciation of the utility and universality of a marketing orientation as the process by which organisations align themselves to their environments in order to exploit opportunities and gain competitive advantage. Key issues concern the nature and influences of environmental factors, the diversity of stakeholders, key supply chain relationships, the nature of customer behaviour in consumer and industrial markets and supply chain design. |
