MKG110: Principles of Marketing
The unit equips students with the basic principles, fundamental practices and techniques required to engage in a socially responsible marketing function within a variety of organisational frameworks.  The ideas presented introduce students to core marketing concepts as characterised by two basic sets of activities.
The first set includes identifying consumer needs, positioning the product or service to satisfy those needs and differentiating the product or service from the competition.  In order to do so, students must employ rigorous analysis of the competition, the customer, the environment, and the company’s own capabilities. The second set of activities involves the “marketing mix” – product, price, distribution and promotion—and the synergistic relationship between mix variables. 

The unit is divided into three modules: Marketing Environment; Buyers, Markets & Targeting Opportunities; and The Marketing Mix.

The unit is divided into five modules: Managing the HR Environment; Building Human Resource Capability; Developing People; Rewarding/Compensating People; and Contemporary Issues in HR.

MKG210: Consumer Behaviour
The unit equips students with the basic theory and practice of Consumer Behaviour (CB).  Consumer Behaviour seeks to understand the why, what, when and where of consumer purchasing.  This understanding is important because all marketing decisions are based on assumptions about consumer attitudes and behaviour.
The concepts and theories covered in this unit are essential for consumer analysis and the development of effective marketing strategies. The underlying theories, models and principles are drawn from various fields within the social sciences as well as business research.  The unit will examine how these concepts influence the acquisition, consumption, and disposition of products, services, and ideas.  Additionally, students will gain insight into the factors that influence their individual buying patterns.

This unit is divided into four modules: Introduction & Consumer Decision Making; Individual Influences; External Influences; and Contemporary Topics in Consumer Behaviour.
