Module 2 of our class features Professor Peter Fader, who will focus on concepts related to Customer Centricity. In an economy that is increasingly responsive to customer behaviors, it is imperative to focus on the right customers for strategic advantages. The coming weeks will provide the foundation needed to build a customer centric outlook. If you want to read more about Professor Fader’s views on customer centricity, feel free to follow him on Twitter (@faderp). He regularly shares relevant perspectives and readings there.

In this module, you will examine the critical marketing topic, “Go to Market Strategies.” Professor Jagmohan Raju has designed these lectures to help you gain a deep understanding of the role of communications in marketing strategy, fundamentals of pricing, and how to manage channel conflicts. You will explore the 7 Ms of developing a communication plan, learn how to measure price elasticity, and understand disruption in information delivery. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to use effective analytical tools to form a communications campaign and create appropriate access points to your brand for your customer.

Professor Kahn is back in this fourth module, the second of her Branding Modules, covering effective brand communications strategies and repositioning strategies. Understanding how customers perceive your brand messaging and marketing is one of the most important aspects to understanding consumer behavior: what consumers perceive is what affects their actions, and what they perceive is not necessarily true! Professor Kahn unpacks customer behavior and perception and explores successful strategies for influencing both in this final required module of the course.
