Marketing Faculty

Marketing emphasizes satisfying needs and wants through the facilitation of the exchange process between and among organizations and customers. Marketing concepts and techniques apply to all types of organizations, whether they are for profit or non-profit and whether providing goods, services, experiences or ideas to their customers.  An organization's long-run success is determined by understanding customer preferences and perceptions as well as how they change.  The topics studied in the marketing curriculum include: gathering and interpreting market information, understanding customer decision processes and the influencers of these processes, target market decisions involving segmenting markets and positioning market offerings, promotion and advertising, product design and modification, pricing, distribution of products and services, and effective managerial decision making and planning.
