The course also studies how firms must coordinate these different elements of the marketing mix to insure that all marketing activities collectively forge a coherent strategy.

Marketing is a core course and assumes no prior knowledge of marketing.

  Management

• MGMT-GB.2383 Strategic Talent Management (3)
  Course Description:
  
  This course will explore the issues and strategies surrounding the key human capital issues facing organizations and their leaders in today's global business environment. This area of study is increasingly important as organizations seek to differentiate themselves in the marketplace through the contributions of their global teams. In addition, organizations in the future will increasingly sell more information and services, and fewer traditional "products", and so the management of this human asset becomes even more critical. Objectives include: - Explanation of the overall theoretical framework for Human Capital Management and their practices in the business environment - Relate the practices and impact of different areas of HCM to each other and their implications for organizational and employee needs - Discussion of how the HR or HCM function adds value to the organization and is leveraged by key line leaders to achieve their goals. The objectives noted above will be accomplished via exposure to the various course content, including case studies, articles, guest speakers, team projects and lectures.
