Analyse und Kontrolle im Marketing Management

Special Topics – Marketing Management: Analysis, Implementation and Control is offered at Berkeley College

This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to corporate marketing management and marketing strategy, with a particular emphasis on research, analysis, organization, implementation, and control.

They are able to plan the most important marketing-relevant research methods. You will be able to make reliable decisions about the procedures and methods to be applied and to develop and implement research concepts based on these decisions.
