| Description:
| Aims: The aim of this module is to expose students to a range of concepts, models and emerging technologies that are and will shape most aspects of marketing. Students will be encouraged to consider the challenges and opportunities of e-marketing from a solid theoretical background and a real-world orientation with extensive examples ranging across large corporations, small businesses, and not for profit organizations. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this unit, the student should be able to: * understand contemporary issues in e-marketing at the management and strategic level. This is supported by theory (e.g., Internet business models), current case studies, and in-class discussion. * have up-to-date and in-depth knowledge of advanced areas of e-marketing, such as Internet security mechanisms, dotcoms, and relationship management. Again, this is supported by theory, recent case studies and in-class discussion. A group case study is used to consolidate theory with practice. Thus, the emphasis is on a strategic understanding of e-marketing for management students underpinned by detailed knowledge of advanced areas and technologies. Skills: Intellectual Skills * an appreciation of contemporary issues in e-marketing (TA); * the facility to apply subject-specific knowledge into a range of complex situations, taking into account the overall implications for the other areas of the business (TFA); * a conceptual understanding of theoretical concepts and frameworks that enables the student to meaningfully link theory and practice and the ability to critically appraise both theory and practice (TFA); Professional and Practical Skills * evaluate e-marketing and e-commerce models within an organisational context (A); * operate effectively both independently as well as within teams and assume leadership roles where appropriate (F); * be self-directed and able to act autonomously in planning and implementing projects at professional levels (F) Transferable/Key Skills * an openness and capacity to continue learning with the ability to reflect on earlier knowledge and practice and integrate the new with past experience and effectively apply it to the present situations (TFA); * an appreciation and in-depth understanding of the resources and competences required for successful cross-functional management in organisations including enterprise skills (TA). Content: This course must reflect current developments in e-marketing and Internet technology and the content will therefore be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as appropriate.
