Marketing
Marketing is one of
the most dynamic areas of business because it focuses on satisfying the
ever-changing wants and needs of people. Professional marketers research
and identify target audiences, develop products and services, formulate
pricing strategies, develop advertising and promotional campaigns, and
implement methods of distribution so that customers receive products
and services where and when they want them. Perhaps the most basic marketing
skill is to be able to see your own organization’s activities from the
customer’s
viewpoint.
A concentration in marketing prepares students for the many opportunities that
exist in product and brand management, marketing research, advertising, retailing,
channel management, logistics and physical distribution, professional personal
selling and sales management, purchasing, wholesaling, marketing planning and
analysis, public relations, marketing entrepreneurship, and new-product development.
In combination with the commerce and engineering curriculum, this concentration
prepares students to fill marketing positions that require a technical background.
For
