Subject matter

This course emphasizes the high potential societal role of marketing. It introduces social  marketing as the application of marketing concepts and other social change techniques to achieve both individual behavior changes and societal structural changes. Similarly, the course addresses the unique challenges of using marketing concepts and practices as applied to nonprofit organizations. Private and  public sector firms increasingly use marketing strategies to engage  their customers and stakeholders around social impact. To do so, managers need to understand  how best to engage and influence customers and key stakeholders to behave in ways that promote positive social effects.
Topics include individual and collective behavioral change for accepting a new behavior, rejecting a potentially undesired behavior, modifying a current behavior and abandoning an old undesired behavior. Nonprofit marketing planning and market research and branding of nonprofits.
