363-0403-00LIntroduction to Marketing3 KP2GF. von Wangenheim
KurzbeschreibungStudents taking this course will increase their understanding of the role of marketing in organizations and learn about measuring and quantifying customer behavior for improved marketing decision-making.
LernzielAfter taking the class, students are able to
o Explain the role and relevance of marketing within organizations
o Apply marketing concepts to problems encountered by companies
o Identify and differentiate methods for measuring customer behavior
o Use quantitative methods for marketing decision-making, e.g. calculating the lifetime value of a customer
o Outline and explain different marketing tools for managing customer-firm relationships
InhaltMany people associate marketing with hard selling, advertising and the sales of products that are not inherently appealing to consumers. This course aims to challenge these preconceptions. Students will learn about the following topics:
• Customer behavior, i.e. the decision-making processes of consumers
• Marketing research, i.e. methods for gauging the factors influencing consumer decision-making
• Marketing mix, i.e. promotional tools that marketers use to initiate and facilitate exchanges between consumers and companies
• Online marketing, i.e. metrics to quantify the success of the marketing mix (e.g. digital marketing)
• Customer relationship management, i.e. the management of customer-firm relationships over the (transactional) lifetimes of customers
• Marketing analytics
o Conjoint analysis, i.e. the measurement of customer preferences for different products and product attributes (e.g. used for new product development)
o Customer lifetime value, i.e. a tool to assess the profitability of customer relationships (e.g. used for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing)

Different teaching methods facilitate a remote learning experience:
(1) Self-study activities: Students complete reading assignments and review supplemental material
(2) Online quizzes: Prior to class, students participate in online quizzes that test their knowledge of the topics covered in the self-study activities (1). The quizzes provide students with feedback on their learning progress.
(3) Online classes: The lecturer discusses key marketing concepts in weekly online sessions. These online sessions focus on selected content that students learn in (1) and (2).
(4) Group presentation: During the online sessions, teams of students present short examples illustrating their understanding of marketing concepts learned in (1).
(5) Case study: Teams of students solve a case study, which gives them the opportunity to apply newly acquired marketing knowledge and skills to real-world, practical problems occurring in marketing.
(6) Exam preparation: Online videos and questions from mock exams help students to familiarize themselves with questions focused on marketing analytics, which can require calculations. This type of question can occur in the final exam. It is important to complete these exercises as part of the preparation for the final exam.

InhaltThe seminar “Cases in Technology Marketing” introduces students to key concepts and tools in technology marketing and familiarizes them subsequently with the challenges that (marketing) managers face in technology intensive markets by using real life cases.
Students will have to work in groups and together solve past, current and future managerial problems in the form of cases. The team member composition will rotate for each case, enabling students to foster their teamwork abilities besides the application of theoretical concepts to the applied case questions. The studetns will have to present their case solutions to the lecturer and a top executive of a leading Swiss company (details see below). Also, they will be enabled to compare their solutions with what has actually been done or is yet to be done.

The three case studies presented in this course cover real managerial issues of the Swiss manufacturer Bühler AG (www.buhlergroup.com). A Bühler top executive will present the cases and discuss the students' presentations and solutions. As such, the course allows for in-depth discussions of the real-life case solution with the C-level manager and hereby enables students to transfer their learnings from theoretical considerations to the applied field. The course will be rounded off with a day-visit to the Bühler facilities in Uzwil, Switzerland, where students will have the chance to further connect with management and discuss the acquired key concepts, tools, and case study insights on site.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesIn addition to course enrolment, students have to apply for this course by sending a CV and a short motivation letter until 23.08.2020 to Theresa Schachner: tschachner@ethz.ch.
