Programme Overview
Organizations in India are increasingly feeling the need for “market orientation” because of ever-changing customer preferences. Marketing and other functional disciplines today are expected to “talk to” rather than “talk at” each other. This program therefore aims at clarifying the basics of marketing, to marketing as well as non-marketing executives. It helps the process of facilitating a dialogue between the different disciplines of an organization with the objective of serving the customer more effectively.
Programme Objectives
- To sensitize participants and bring them up to speed on the latest developments in marketing.
- To communicate marketing principles that are universally applicable across domains.
