Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
This subject contributes to the development of the following graduate attributes:
- Intellectual rigour and innovative problem solving
- Professional and technical competence
The subject learning objectives and delivery are designed to facilitate students’ development of the Business School graduate attributes. Students are required to demonstrate knowledge of marketing theories, frameworks and concepts through application to various business and market based situations that require marketing oriented solutions. This approach requires the development to critical thinking, creativity and analytical skills. Particular emphasis is placed on developing students’ awareness of obligations relating to ethical and corporate social responsibility in professional practice. Other learning activities, including presentations, group work and written assignments, will help students become effective communicators.
This subject contributes specifically to develop the following program learning objectives:
- Critically analyse and apply creative problem-solving processes to address complex marketing issues and provide integrated solutions (1.1)
- Integrate high-level technical skills and professional principles within specialised marketing practice (4.1)
Teaching and learning strategies
The subject is based on dynamic and interactive lecture and workshop sessions. It is taught through a combination of lectures and workshops. The lectures involve critical debate and case deliberations, and the workshops are built around in-class exercises, case discussions and presentations focused on business and market-based situations that require marketing oriented solutions. These classes will be supplemented with both printed and electronic learning materials and resources. The learning management system will be used to share information and encourage interaction between staff and students. Students will also use appropriate computer software such as spreadsheets and word processors to complete assigned tasks.
This subject is a challenging and intensive learning experience. A major emphasis is placed on class participation and discussion. It is therefore expected that students will undertake specified reading or other activities before they attend class and be adequately equipped and prepared to contribute to class discussions and group activities.
To ensure students gain context to their learning of marketing principles and an up to date appreciation of contemporary marketing and management issues, students are encouraged to read the business media. This is a further responsibility for ‘flipped learning’ outside of each class as students build an understanding of real-world marketing issues and effective solutions to business problems of an international and contemporary nature.
Student feedback will occur on a weekly and periodical basis as outlined below:
- Class workshops- feedback from class instructor and other students
- Marketing plan proposal- feedback from class instructor
- Midterm exam- feedback from class instructor
- Final Marketing plan presentation- feedback from class instructor and other students
