Some of the Courses offered in the MSc in Marketing of Luxury Goods and Services
Please note that this list is not exhaustive and subject to change
We explicitly will discuss:
1. The perceptions of marketing in management, society, and the boardroom, leading to a definition of marketing deriving from the students.
2. The move from a goods-dominated, over a service-dominated, to-wards an experience-dominated economy.
3. From this evolutionary viewpoint we will discuss the role of the customer, and managing the customer experience (CX), for the or-ganization.
4. Next, we discuss practical applications of this shift towards cus-tomer-experience-centricity and its challenges from both, scholarly, and managerial perspectives.
5. We then convert these discussions and focus on omni-channel management, and the challenges it triggers on both, a strategic, and operational level, highlighting the different phases of customer inter-actions (pre, during, after purchase/consumption) and how the em-phasis on different stages influences performance.
The course will combine brand management knowledge with practical application, and develop a framework for understanding the essential ingredients of effective branding. The course covers topics such as brand positioning, architecture, extension, monitoring, image building and change, brand personality and identity, internal branding, and brands as social processes. We will discuss how to analyze, to design and to influence brands and branding processes.
