Course objectives
This course aims at training students around the strategic aspects of marketing, by focusing on long-term strategies to creating company value, customer value and collaborator value. It seeks to go beyond the typical marketing tactics to include stakeholder theory and business ethics as main drivers of value creation and optimal value proposition. The principal marketing strategies will be investigated under the lens of Corporate Social Responsibility in order to outline what competitive advantages companies can gain and sustain while creating value for society and environment at the same time.

Results of learning outcomes
Students will be able to create a marketing plan that groups together strategies for sustaining competitive advantages in the long-term and will be able to change their mindset from the mere logic of competition to the broader logic of co-creation, cooperation and jointness of interest among all stakeholders involved in the value creation process. They will eventually understand the usefulness and the complexity of strategic marketing under unusual perspectives, by intergating stakeholder theory and corporate social responsibility to the everyday marketing activities.
