Aims, contents and method of the course

This course expands on the content taught in the course VO ABWL Marketing 1. The terminology learned there and the basic concepts of marketing are being applied to real marketing problems. Case studies are used to analyze existing companies. The results and proposed solutions developed in groups are then presented and discussed in plenary sessions. The course is intended to encourage further study of marketing and the consideration of marketing decisions from a management perspective.

The course deals with already known topics of marketing in a more in-depth form and is intended to contribute to sharpening the understanding of complex practical decisions in the field of marketing.
In the context of strategic marketing, the following topics are examined in more detail:
▪ Marketing environment
▪ Consumer behavior
▪ Market research
▪ Market segmentation and market positioning

In the second half of the course, operational marketing decisions are examined:
▪ Product policy
▪ Distribution policy
▪ Communication policy
▪ Pricing policy

Assessment and permitted materials

The course has “prüfungsimmanenten Charakter”, attendance is compulsory throughout the semester; the performance is based on following parts:
Small case study 10%
Elaboration and presentation of the main case study 40%
Participation 20% (Feedbackgroups, participation during the lecture)
Final test 30%

The 20% participation is achieved if students regularly, actively and meaningfully contribute and give constructive feedback to their colleagues in the feedback group. The focus of the final test is on the application of the concepts learned in the VO ABWL Marketing 1. The final test consists of open questions and multiple choice questions (one answer is correct).

In the first session, the central objective of the module, namely the independent and correct application of the marketing concepts learned for a marketing plan, is emphasized. In addition, groups are formed to work together on a small and a large case study. In both case studies, the students will work on subtasks of a marketing plan.

In sessions 2 and 3, the small case studies will be presented by the students and discussed in plenary as part of a review of the most important points of a marketing plan. Through this exchange, the theoretical knowledge acquired in previous semesters is to be deepened using concrete application cases from marketing practice. The knowledge gained in this way should be incorporated by the students in the preparation of the large case study.

In units 4 to 11, students present their major case studies, which are discussed in plenary sessions. Students are expected to be able to critically examine their content and justify their decisions and conclusions (possibly with sources).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirement: Attendance, active participation in discussions, group work & preparation of the presentation (the presentation can only be made by individual group members!).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students wishing to take this course must register via U: SPACE (with points) during the registration period. Registered students who, for whatever reason, are not able to take the course must de-register electronically.

The latest date by which this course can be dropped without penalty is 11th March 2024. Students who decide to drop the course after this deadline will be graded with 5 (failed).

All registered students must attend the first session (Introduction/ Vorbesprechung) on Thursday, March 7th, 2024, 11:30-13:00, as failure to do so will result in their exclusion from the course.

The course has “prüfungsimmanenten Charakter”, therefore attendance is compulsory throughout the semester (see also Admission and Attendance Policies on our homepage); more than three absences will automatically result in a “fail” grade.

Minimum requirements: attendance, active participation in discussions, group work & preparation.

The group presentations will involve groups of up to 5 students. The same grade will be awarded to all students of the same group (exceptionally, grades may vary in case of significant discrepancies during the presentation). All group members have to contribute and participate in both the presentation and later discussion.

Note: All presentations have to be done using PowerPoint (or a similar program) and every group member has to present. Group members who are absent or are not presenting, without prior confirmation from the course instructor, will be graded with zero points.

The assessment of the overall performance of the participants is determined as follows:
1- ≥ 80 %
2- 70 - 79 %
3- 60 - 69%
4- 50 - 59 %
5- < 50%

Students who fail the course must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way the next time the course is offered).

Examination topics

Group Presentation: Each group – formed by up to five students – has to prepare one presentation on a given market/company (see below). Students will have to apply theoretical frameworks taught in ABWL Marketing I to propose relevant solutions and/or recommendations to the case at hand. Each session will focus on the same marketing topic and will include two group presentations dealing with a different case. Each presentation is limited to 20 minutes and will be followed by questions and discussion from the instructor and the audience.

The written report will be based on the student presentations. After the presentation, each group should incorporate the feedback of both the instructor and their colleagues and deliver a brief report on their topic. The same grade will be awarded to all students of the same group (exceptionally, grades may vary in case of significant discrepancies during the presentation). All group members should contribute to the written report.

The final exam will be based on selected topics from the presentation sessions and the new topics covered by the instructor in the second half of the course. The relevant material includes the corresponding book chapters, the class material, and everything covered in the lectures.

More information about the assessment criteria will be given in the introductory session.
