Frequently Asked Questions

What will I learn in the Marketing Management MBA subject?
In this subject, you will work through the strategic and tactical levels of marketing. You will learn that marketing is much more than selling and advertising, and that tactics like these are underpinned by the all-important marketing strategy to drive growth.
Marketing Management explores the marketing planning process as an essential first step in understanding marketing. It covers frameworks for analysing a market, developing effective marketing strategies and creating tactical marketing programs that link to strategy. Considering online and offline approaches, in both B2C and B2B contexts, you will take a customer-centric approach to creating, communicating and delivering value.
Why is Marketing Management a compulsory subject in the MBA?
As one of the core functional areas of a business, marketing is the engine that drives a business forward and fuels business growth. An understanding of Marketing Management is a valuable tool for all business leaders even if they work outside of the field of marketing. Marketing has a significant impact and often operates cross-functionally within organisations, whether large or small, and it is essential for MBA graduates to have a broad understanding of marketing practices and strategy.
Marketing Management will also provide you with insight into what specialising your MBA in Marketing would be like, as well as providing you with a broad overview of the elective subjects on offer in the Marketing discipline should you choose to undertake a general MBA.
How will studying Marketing Management in my MBA help me at work?
By studying the Marketing Management subject at AIB, you will develop an understanding of marketing as the process by which organisations engage customers, build strong customer relationships, and create customer value in order to capture value from them in return.
If you work outside the field of marketing, this customer-centric approach translates across organisational boundaries, united by the goal the organisation has for growth, which is often done through attracting and retaining customers. With a broadened perspective of marketing planning and strategy, target markets, customer personas and much more; you will be better equipped to see the big picture and make better informed, strategically sound decisions – regardless ofyour professional background and current roles.
