MARKETING 320PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING

Section 04, Fall Semester 2009T-R, 3:30 P.M. - 4:45 P.M., Room 111

PROFESSOR: Dr. Lew G. BrownOFFICE: 353 Bryan, 334-4539. Because of the budget situation, the School no longer has voicemail. The best way to contact me is via email.OFFICE HOURS: Anytime I am in my office you may call or stop by to ask questions, etc. I ask that you make appointments for longer discussions. Office Hours are 11 A.M.- Noon Tuesdays and Thursdays. I try to be in my office during office hours; but because of committee meetings and other university business, I can’t always be there. You may leave messages on my door or in my mailbox in the Department Office, Room 366. My e-mail address is [email protected]. My home phone number is 919-942-7574, and you can call me at home, if you have trouble reaching me elsewhere or if you have an emergency.

Course Prerequisites: ISM 110, MAT 115, ECO 201, ACC 201, and CST 105 (You must have previously completed each of these courses); or admission to Bryan School approved program.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course you should be able to:

1. Identify and explain the basic concepts of marketing and marketing strategy.2. Identify and explain the basic concepts of marketing research, consumer behavior, and business-to-business marketing.3. Employ the concepts of market segmentation, targeting, and positioning to develop and analyze marketing strategies.4. Develop a marketing mix, product, price, place, and promotion, based on targeting and positioning decisions, which will deliver the intended value proposition.5. Understand how the basic concepts apply or must be adjusted in international markets.6. Communicate orally and in writing about marketing strategy.7. Work with a group to design and implement a marketing strategy. .

Course Philosophy: Whether the firm operates for profit, is a nonprofit, or is a government or government agency, marketing plays a central role because it serves as a link between the organization and its customers and the external business environment. Thus, no matter what your specific role in a firm may be, your understanding of marketing will be important in developing and implementing successful business strategies.

Course Design: I have designed this course around the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. These Principles are:

1. Good practice encourages student-faculty contact.2. Good practice encourages cooperation among individual students.3. Good practice encourages active learning.4. Good practice provides for prompt feedback.5. Good practice emphasizes time on task.6. Good practice communicates high expectations.

"I'd push people back to their typewriters and drawing tables, telling them: You can do better. And they'd do better. Good people respond to high

standards."Shepard Kurnit

7. Good practice respects diverse talents and ways of learning.

Course Coverage of Common Themes and Skill Set Areas: I have selected material for the course so as to provide the specified levels of coverage in the following common themes and skill set areas:

Common Themes –1. International (global) issues – Extensive coverage.2. Ethical issues – Some coverage.3. Legal and regulatory issues – Some coverage.4. Political issues – Some coverage.5. Environmental issues – Significant coverage.6. Technological issues – Significant coverage.7. Demographic Diversity (in the workplace) issues – Some coverage.

Skill Sets –1. Written communication skills – Some coverage.2. Oral communication skills – Some coverage.3. Computer usage skills – Some coverage.4. Research skills (library and other sources) – Some coverage.5. Team/interpersonal skills – Extensive coverage.

Education: "The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others."

Tryon Edwards

"The one real object of education is to have a [person] in the condition of continually asking questions." Bishop M. Creighton

Role of the Instructor: No one can teach you anything! The instructor should create an

Page 3: University of North Carolina at Greensboro - web.uncg.edu Web viewUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro. ... Anytime I am in my office you may call or stop by to ask questions,

3

environment in which the student can learn. The instructor should be committed to working harder than the students work and to always being prepared for class.

"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." Mark Van Doren

I would like you to think of me as a “coach.” I am here to guide you in the learning process. I ask you to be committed to being “coachable.”

Role of the Student: You should be committed to learning. Webster's defines "to learn" as, "to come to be able to." To learn, then, one must both acquire and apply knowledge in order to be "able." Thus, I will expect you to be an active participant in the learning process we are about to enter. This is not a lecture-only, memorize-and-regurgitate course.

I expect you to be committed to:

1. Being prepared for every class. You should complete all reading assignments and be prepared to discuss those assignments, especially the cases and articles. I may give brief quizzes at the beginning of or during any class period.

2. Attending class. I will take roll each class. I expect you to be in class on time. If you come into class late, be sure to check with me after class to make sure I have not recorded you as being absent. If you are significantly late, I will mark you as being absent. If you have to leave a class session early, I ask that you tell me before the beginning of that class.

I will take class attendance into account in determining your class participation grade. For every absence beyond 2, I will reduce your class participation grade.

I often hand out additional reading assignments in one class that you are to prepare for the next class, or I may make changes to the assignments listed in the syllabus for the next class. Thus, if you miss a class, it is your responsibility to check with another student to find out if I made any changes and to be prepared for such items when you return to class. Having missed the previous class is not an excuse for being unprepared.

Conduct in the classroom: I would like for you to think of our classroom as being a large conference room in a business facility. We are a professional school, and we should thus conduct ourselves as professionals—as you would conduct yourself in a business situation. Therefore, I ask that you not wear hats or other head coverings in class unless they are a part of your religious practice. If you must leave class early for some reason, I ask that you inform me of this prior to class beginning.

You are welcome to use laptops/netbooks in class to take notes or do other work related to what we are doing in class that day. It is inconsiderate to me and to other students for you use your computer or cell phone to check your email, surf the Web, play games, etc, during class. If I become aware of your doing this, I will ask you to leave the class and will note this in your class participation grading.

Inclement Weather Policy: If we experience snow, sleet, etc., I will follow the University’s decision as to holding class. I will also do my best to communicate with you via email and BlackBoard. Use your good judgment. If you do not feel you can safely make it to class, do not come. Your safety is more important than a particular class.

3. Participating in class discussions . Quality, not quantity, is important. It is important that you participate in class discussions because each of you has valuable information and insights to contribute. It is also important to continue to develop your group discussion skills. If you miss two or fewer classes in a semester but do not participate in class discussions, you will receive a "C-" (a 7.0 in my grading scheme) in class participation.

4. Being a contributing member of a small group that will work together on The Marketing Game. If you are a "commuting" student, group meetings may require more commuting. If you work, you need to be able to have enough flexibility to be able to meet with your group outside of normal class hours.

Because of students’ complaints about group members who do not do their share of the group’s work, 10% of a student’s grade in this course is based on a peer review completed by each member of a Marketing Game team. In addition, we have established a procedure whereby a team can dismiss a member who fails to contribute. A dismissed team member will lose all of the 10% of his/her grade based on the peer review and, in addition, will receive no credit for group work not yet submitted. I will present details of this process later in the semester.

The decision to enroll in Marketing 320 represents a commitment to me and to the other students that you will be responsible for the work assigned to you, especially the group work. Participating in the group project is not voluntary. By signing up for the course, you are making a commitment to be a contributing team member.

6. Taking two tests and a final exam. I provide study guides for each of the tests and the exam.

7. Turning in assignments on time. I do not accept late work unless you have made a prior arrangement with me.

This class requires a lot of work. If you are taking a full load and trying to work 30-40 hours per week, perhaps this is not the time for you to take this course. The course also requires many group meetings in connection with The Marketing Game. If you will have difficulty meeting with your group outside class hours, you also should consider other course options.

Grading Policy: I hope that you are here to learn, but I know that you are concerned about grades. I have designed this course to provide you with many opportunities to demonstrate what you are learning. Your grade will not, therefore, be determined by one or two "big events." I have structured the semester so that you earn a majority of your grade towards the end of the course. By then, you should have had a chance to become familiar with the concepts and have

Page 5: University of North Carolina at Greensboro - web.uncg.edu Web viewUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro. ... Anytime I am in my office you may call or stop by to ask questions,

an adequate background if you have kept up and done the assigned work. I am interested in seeing progress (learning). Therefore, you should not be overly concerned if you do not do as well as you would like on early assignments.

The following information indicates the weighting of the various aspects of your work:

Class Participation 10%Daily Quizzes 20%First Hour Test 10%Second Hour Test 10%Marketing Game (30%):

Team Performance 20%5% Initial Marketing Strategy5% Performance -- Order of Finish

10% Written Report to Board of DirectorsPeer Evaluation 10%

Final Exam (cumulative) 20%

Grading Scale:9-10 A8-8.9 B7-7.9 C6-6.9 D <6 F

I award “plus” or “minus” indicators in the upper and lower two-tenths (.2) of each range. Thus, an overall average grade of 9.1 for the course is an A-. A grade of 8.9, is a B+.

Daily Quizzes: Most of the daily assignments listed at the end of this syllabus contain a list of study questions for that class. I may begin any class by asking you to write answers to these questions, or I may ask them directly as a part of the lecture for that day. I may also ask questions that are not on the daily question list.

Reading the chapters and preparing answers to the daily questions will help keep you caught up with the material and will prevent you from trying to read all the chapters the night before a test. Further, you should use the material from each chapter in analyzing and discussing the cases/articles assigned for most of the classes. Thus, you need to be familiar with the material from the chapter assigned for a class in order to discuss the readings assigned with that chapter.I will drop your lowest daily quiz grade. If you are absent on a day when we have a quiz, you will receive a zero for that daily quiz. Tests: You will take two multiple choice and short answer tests during scheduled class periods. I do not give "make-up" tests.

Marketing Game: The Marketing Game is a computer-based simulation designed to pull

together all of the concepts we will learn and allow you to practice applying those concepts in a competitive environment. I will divide the class into teams of 4-5 students. Each team will compete with other teams to develop and implement a marketing strategy for a firm that sells voice recognition software. 20% of each person's grade for the course will be based on the team's performance and 10% will be based on peer evaluations. Each team will begin the game by turning in a written marketing strategy for the team. The team will then make seven decisions, each set representing a "year" in the life of the firm. At the end of the seven decisions, each team will submit a written report on how the team did.

In addition, the Marketing 320 instructors will hold the BB&T Marketing Game Challenge on Saturday, December 5. We will invite the winning teams from each Marketing 320 section plus some “wild-card” teams to participate. Members of the two winning teams in this competition will earn cash prizes of $100 and $50 each. We will announce details later in the semester.

Final Exam: The final exam will be similar in format to the tests. It will cover all the material from the course.

BlackBoard: I will post materials under “course documents” at the BlackBoard site for our course.

Honor Code: I expect students to know and abide by the Honor Code in all matters pertaining to this course. I will pursue Honor Code violations in accordance with the Code’s requirements. All written work you submit should include the word "Pledged" followed by your signature indicating that the work has been prepared in accordance with the Honor Code and in accordance with any other specific instructions relevant to that assignment.

This pledge will also indicate that the student has not used information (oral or written), materials (including Marketing Game materials), or other work prepared by or given by current or former students in my classes or students in other classes. Please do not get into trouble by violating the Honor Code. If you find yourself behind or in a difficult situation, please come to see me. Do not be tempted to cheat. When in doubt about whether or not something violates the code, ask me.

MARKETING 320-04 PEER EVALUATION – Spring Semester 2009

The purpose of this analysis is to give credit to those students who went the "extra mile" or who did their fair share of the work in developing the marketing plan. Conversely, if any team member did not do his/her fair share (for whatever reason) then that student should not get full credit for the group’s work. Be assured that I will hold all data on this form in confidence.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY MANAGER'S JOB; I EXPECT YOU TO MAKE A FAIR, HONEST, AND ACCURATE EVALUATION.
