Description
Background and relations to other courses:
This course teaches the fundamentals of market-oriented leadership. Next to the conceptual foundations of market-oriented leadership, we discuss the three main resources a firm possesses: products/services (value equity), brands (brand equity), and customer relationships (relationship equity). We discuss the interdependencies between these resources and the impact of contextual factors on the management of the resources. Moreover, we elaborate on the relevance of longterm-oriented performance measures. We also discuss how market-oriented leadership and sustainability go together and what areas of tension exist.
Students apply their knowledge to a project assignment and discuss the link between marketing strategy and business success.

Among others, the following topics are covered:
- Market orientation
