Objectives
The aim of the course is to give the participants an introduction to the fields of management and marketing, to understand their basic concepts, and to find out the specifics and possibilities of combining these two areas within the organization. The subject would like to provide better understanding of the features of management functions, the characteristics, rules and life cycle of organizations, with the specificities of these factors. Another goal is to understand the essence of the information available to marketers, to provide guidance on the processing and analysis of data available from consumers and the business market. Students will also gain insight into market segmentation, positioning and analysis of market competitors, combining management tools with the key features of corporate marketing strategy. During the discussion of the topics we refer to the applicable management and marketing methods based on their impact on the organization’s efficiency.
