Innovationmanagement and Marketingmanagement are among the key challenges
for companies, enabling them to differentiate and outpace the competition. Think of marketing and innovation like a pair of gears that work together to move the entrepreneurial success engine forward.
Innovation without marketing and marketing without innovation cannot be successful,
which is why both should be considered together. So the modul International Marketing Management fits well with the modul Innovation Management, and vice versa.
The modul International Marketing Management includes CSR based Marketing Strategies and Techniques to attract Customers and Customer's Loyalty, and provides insights into profitable brand strategies.
