Marketing Strategy has been specifically designed for postgraduate students to develop their ability to think strategically and to plan and implement effective marketing strategies. Emphasis is placed upon market definition and analysis, segmentation, competitor analysis, targeting, and the strategic decisions involved in organizational structure and design.
