Description

Historically, business approaches have been almost exclusively focused on the marketing mix itself, especially for product-related exchanges. As a result, the customer at the centre of the framework became an almost forgotten concern for many marketers. Customer Relationship Management focuses on the importance of establishing, maintaining, enhancing, reactivating, and if necessary terminating, customer relationships. Students will strategically evaluate and critique current traditional marketing and management strategies in terms of their customer focus. The class format involves a mix of lectures and discussions, case analyses and presentations, and best practice discussions. Students will enhance their learning through group work and in-class presentations. The sessions are interactive, stimulating student thinking and critical review.

Learning Outcomes

It is anticipated that students who successfully complete this course will:
•Have gained an understanding of the basics of (Customer) Relationship Marketing.
•Have knowledge of a Relationship Marketing model.
•Be able to differentiate the various components of the Relationship Marketing lifecycle.
•Be able to recognise the contextual framework of the Relationship Marketing lifecycle.
•Comprehend how to implement a Relationship Marketing strategy and its customer facing elements.
•Have gained knowledge to steer a Relationship Marketing project.
•Have enhanced their team working skills.

Since my own background is in Relationship Marketing, with an emphasis on business-to-consumer relationship theories, strategies and their implementation, I will expect professional-level discussion, writing and critical analysis in your coursework.

Notes

Departmental Academic Policies
The Department assumes that you have read this document.

You should also read the General Course and Examination Regulations

Dishonest Practice
The University of Canterbury considers cheating and plagiarism to be serious acts of dishonesty.  All assessed work must be your own individual work unless specifically stated otherwise in the assessment guidelines. Material quoted from any other source must be clearly acknowledged. You must not copy the work of another person (student or published work) in any assessment including examinations, tests and assignments. Any person, who is found to have copied someone else's work, or to have allowed their work to be copied, will receive a fail grade for that piece of assessment and may face disciplinary action which may lead to a fine, community service or exclusion from the university.

IMPORTANT: Where there are concerns regarding the authorship of written course work, a student can be required to provide a formal, oral explanation of the content of their work.
