Prerequisite: ECON 1203 (Principles of Microeconomics). Offered each semester. A course designed to introduce the role of marketing in society. Particular emphasis is placed on those market-related variables which are subject to control by the firm. The viewpoint taken is that of the marketing manager whose role it is to make decisions relating to marketing strategy.

This course is an application-oriented introduction to the principles of marketing. Marketing involves value creation. Supporting value creation activities involved in marketing products, services, and ideas are examined within a framework of customer engagement. Topics include global marketing environment, with special emphasis on Central Europe, market analysis and segmentation, consumer behavior, product development and management, pricing, promotion, and distribution. Marketing is examined from its role as a central function of business and non-profit organizations, and from its dominant role in a global market economy.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
