Description:
In a recent survey of the 100 largest Fortune Global 500 companies, public relations firm Burson-Marsteller (www.burson-marsteller.com) found that more than three-quarters (79%) of the top 100 companies are using at least one of the four social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or corporate blogs. The study reported that people are following companies for news and information about the company, products, and promotions, to offer feedback, and to engage customer service. In another study, eMarketer reports that the US social media advertising spending will hit $2.0 billion. Clearly, social media marketing has emerged as an important marketing strategy.
In this course we will focus on the following:
• Why social medium has become important for the future of business
• How can social media marketing strategies be constructed and implemented
• What changes in the corporate culture are required
• The limitations of social media marketing
• Measuring the effectiveness of social media strategies
This course requires you to modify the current marketing strategies such as segmentation, targeting, and positioning. We will learn how the traditional business model of mass production of communication is meaningless and irrelevant in social networks.

Description:
Today’s markets have become difficult environments for most companies. Challenges arise from a variety of changes taking part in many different domains, impacting the behavior and conduct of customers, competitors and other important stakeholders such as suppliers and channel partners. In this landscape companies have to be smart and able to address customer needs in a way that makes them purchase their offerings and – more importantly – that satisfies customers’ genuine needs so that satisfaction and loyalty result. If there is one business discipline that can help companies to accomplish this goal – it is marketing.
A principal element of marketing is the strategic setting in which it takes place. To fully appreciate these strategic aspects it is essential to understand the concept of marketing strategy and to apply strategic marketing concepts to the different specific industry contexts companies operate in. We will focus on business-to-consumer marketing, business-to-business marketing, services marketing, and international marketing.

Starting from the key concepts and principles that guide negotiations, participants will learn:
- how to strategically analyze negotiation situations and to develop comprehensive negotiation plans,
- how to identify opportunities and barriers to creating and claiming value,
- how to avoid negotiation “sand traps” and to take advantage of negotiation tactics to influence and deal with difficult negotiation counterparts.

Description:
|
Negotiations occur in situations when it is impossible to attain one’s goals without the cooperation of others. Such situations arise in all areas of business and the ability to manage them successfully rests on a combination of appropriate analytical knowledge and practical skills. This module provides the theoretical background and the practical tools of negotiations. The content is relevant to a broad spectrum of application domains, but a special emphasis is put on negotiations in the procurement context. The module addresses the general principles of the negotiation process from pre-bargaining stages (interests, BATNAs) all the way to deal closure. This includes distributive bargaining (zero-sum games) and integrative bargaining (positive-sum games), hard vs. soft negotiation styles and associated influence techniques, mixed motive bargaining, power/ Please note that this course is capacity-constrained – rollment is mandatory and competition for the limited number of spaces may occur. |
