Marketing professionals need to be able to understand the marketing process and the marketing related decisions that organisations must take to satisfy the needs and wants of customers.

Principles of Marketing provides students with essential theoretical and conceptual knowledge of marketing fields and environments and how these contextual factors will affect marketing decisions. This unit also introduces the students to the theory of consumer behaviour, market segmentation and marketing research and marketing mix.

Students will develop skills in the application of marketing concepts that inform the practical tools which marketers use to plan, implement, and evaluate marketing decisions to identify and develop potential marketing solutions.

The aim of this unit is to develop students’ knowledge on how firms market products, and their

understanding of the role of marketing within the organisational, business and social environment.
