Learning unit contents
This module focuses on international marketing strategy ... for general managers. Indeed, it is our aim to guide (future) general managers and help them adopt a marketing perspective. Therefore, we emphasize the philosophy of marketing (more than its techniques). We emphasize its terminology (more than its theories). We emphasize the marketing context and hope that future managers adopt a more outside-in perspective. The main point of departure is value-based marketing. The value for the customer is the key point of departure in any marketing strategy and decision.
