If you want to be a business owner or a corporate executive whose job involves business decisions, then you will certainly need to master three fundamental disciplines:

- Building a Marketing plan
- Conducting marketing research
- Collecting primary data for marketing research
- Performing client segmentation
- Selecting a target customer group
- Understanding the 4Ps of Marketing
- Classifying a firm’s products
- The importance of product branding
- Subtleties of product packaging
- Understanding the factors shaping product pricing
- The right way to approach product pricing
- Organizing product distribution
- Setting up an effective promotional campaign
- Working with the four Ps of Marketing in a dynamic environment
- Establishing and Tracking KPIs
- Calculating and monitoring Customer Lifetime Value
Understanding these topics will make a huge difference for you if you have decided to pursue a business-related career – be it as an entrepreneur or a corporate executive.

Each of the topics listed above is explained in a clear and effective way and we make sure to provide plenty of practical examples that will help you reinforce what you have learned.
