One of the most effective tools to hedge against market risk and distance similar products or services from competitors is an organization’s underlying brand identity. This course provides MBA candidates with the skills needed to successfully develop, manage and promote the core values of an organization’s brand internally and in competitive markets. We accomplish this through two specific components. First, we provide a framework within which MBA candidates will be able to study those factors that most often determine the overall success of particular brands in competitive markets. Second, we then provide practical tools to develop and implement winning brands, including the ability to develop a clear market vision, implement a successful marketing strategy, identify and communicate with a specific target audience and position a product for optimal success. This course will especially focus on best-in-class branding strategies and practices across a number of industries.
