Introduction to sustainable design (for international students) - 4PMCISD1

This course explores decision-making and activities involving business-to-business (i.e., industrial, organizational, institutional, or governmental) transactions and provides fresh ideas for innovative business marketing. Business-to-business transactions occur when organizations acquire goods and services from (or sell them to) other businesses. Business-to-business activities pertaining to buying, market segmentation, positioning, pricing, communication, physical distribution and customer service, sales management, and other activities are examined within the context of a framework that views business market management as the process of understanding, creating, and delivering value to customers. Best practices and new concepts from the business-to-business sector will be examined. A global perspective is deliberately chosen to provide the most compelling examples from America, Europe, or Asia.
