This course is designed to provide with students with an introduction to the marketing
system. They will be exposed to the major concepts of marketing known as the
marketing mix or 4 P's (product, place, price, and promotion). The course
presumes no prior understanding of marketing, provides a complete overview of
the marketing process, and touches on a variety of topics. Students will gain a sound understanding of the core concepts in marketing
and its role in business and consumers' lives.
