The central elements in the course concern how a company should act on the market and communicate with the market through a marketing plan. Aspects discussed in the course are, among others: - the market environment - actors and forces - buyer behaviour - market segmentation and product positioning - the offering (products, price etc.) and its design - branding, market communication and marketing channels. Some emphasis is on how the offer is communicated with the market, how it reaches the customer and how information on and from the market should be evaluated. How a company or an organization acts differs depending on buying situation and if the purchase concerns consumer goods, industrial goods or services in various market environments.
