Special Seminar in Marketing: Marketing Management

Lecture Notes

The course is organized so that each class revolves around a case discussion and a theory discussion. Copies of the slides for the theory discussions are available in the table below. Full citations for the case studies can be found on the readings page.

In addition to participating actively during class, students should e-mail the instructors before the case discussion each week to point out three of the case’s major concepts.
