Course Description
 
 
Innovation and Marketing (BUS 180)
According to business guru Peter Drucker, the sole purpose of a business is to create a customer. And to create customers, you need innovative offerings and effective marketing to communicate their availability. We will explore this topic in two "directions": the marketing of innovations and the innovations in marketing. Given that new products are crucial to an organization’s future viability, what are the unique challenges to the successful marketing of innovative new products? Similarly, since societal and technological advances have undermined important aspects of "traditional" marketing, we will consider newer strategies and programs that have been used successfully to promote products and services. Frameworks and concepts will be presented to help clarify what is needed both to create and to retain customers. Using case studies and in-class discussion, the course will be an update for current marketers and a provocative overview for innovators and entrepreneurs not presently in marketing.
