| Course description | The course focuses on how businesses identify and competitively satisfy the needs of other businesses. It is a radically different challenge than marketing to end users (consumers). Business goods go through numerous transactions and transformations before they are ready to be ultimately sold to consumers (for example sand=>silicone=>semiconductor chips=>computer mother boards=>personal computers). Although a common body of marketing knowledge applies, important differences exist between consumer and business marketing, especially the nature of the markets, demand patterns, buyer behaviour and buyer-seller relationships. |
