Inhoud

This course introduces you to the discipline of marketing and market research. Two parts are herein crucial. On the one hand, we address the integrated marketing mix, consisting of a toolkit of 4 Ps, to deliver customer value in a profitable and durable way. On the other hand, we offer tools and techniques in this course to sharpen your skills in market research in practice.
