Course Description

The general principles of marketing continue to apply to business and industrial marketing. However, specific theories of organizational buying behaviour, relationship marketing and purchasing and B2B networks will be examined and applied using a mix of work-based learning and academic learning to allow you to solve authentic business problems or address real issues faced in organisations.

Supply chains, marketing strategies and the business marketing mix will be examined in detail. Case studies and examples will be used to illustrate the application of marketing principles in business to business environments.
