Business to Business Market Procurement Behaviours

Overview

Business to business markets present specific features that substantially distinguish them from business to consumer ones. Marketing managers must be aware of this specificity in order to be able to operate effectively in business markets and contribute to the success of their organisations. The Business Market Procurement Behaviours course, by putting together a rigorous conceptual analysis and an operational examination of the best managerial practices, offers a unique and valuable training asset to successfully face business to business marketing challenges.
