MARKETING PLANNING
Course objectives
General Object 1.1 Object The aim of the course is to equip the students with the knowledge necessary to analyze and understand consumer markets and to know how to conceive, define and draw up a complete marketing project. Ultimately, the course aims to make each student acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to dominate marketing methodology. The marketing plan is drawn up on the basis of an original case history on which a national competition among university students is based: the Prize for the University of the Italian Marketing Society (www.premiomarketing.com). Participation in this competition is highly motivating for students and at the same time allows you to work on a real and significant market case, selected and drafted by the Italian scientific society of the discipline -which guarantees the high quality level of the reference teaching case. 1.2 Specific Object 1.2.1 Knowledge and understanding Students will consolidate their knowledge of marketing basics, enriching it with further theoretical elements (e.g. the paradigm change induced by digitization). Any student will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to create a complete Marketing Plan, write it and present it, simulating a real case in all. These objectives are accurately reflected in the bipartition of the course in two great moments: the first, aimed at consolidating and aligning the knowledge of the learners; the second, to the guided application of the planning method. Great care, throughout the course, is given to the acquisition of the technical language of the discipline and the rigorous application of the working method. 1.2.2 Applying knowledge and understanding It is the main purpose of the course. After consolidating and enriching their knowledge base on the basics of the discipline, the student is guided to concretely apply what has been learned. He will then know in detail: setting up a relevant market analysis structure, extracting the relevant competitive conclusions, setting a strategy on them and articulating them in terms of time and operation. After all, the student will be able to draw up the economic budget of the necessary activities. 1.2.3 Making judgements The field activity students will carry out during the course and the constant confrontation in the classroom with the teacher and his collaborators of teaching, well answer the ultimate purpose of providing the student with an independent judgment, based on data and facts. 1.2.4 Communication skills Public speaking moments will be organized to make students able to present their work with the support of slides and any product analysis reports. The teacher will dedicate a training session to public speaking and to the ability to write support materials. 1.2.5 Learning skills The main information resources on markets are introduced (official data sources, specialized websites and / or focused on marketing, etc.) and, at the end of the course, the best ways to undertake higher-level studies on marketing will be detailed
