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.
Obiectives
The Rome Business School’s Business to Business Market Procurement Behaviours course is designed to provide a clear and comprehensive outline of the main features and peculiarities of the business to business markets. It is therefore aimed at providing to those who operate or intend to operate in this sector with the most modern conceptual and operational tools, with a specific emphasis on managerial practices.
A comparative approach with the consumer markets will enable to clearly understand the business to business market’s distinctive traits and to be prepared to seize its opportunities.
Recipients
The course is aimed at those who already operate in a marketing environment, at both the junior or senior level, and wish to acquire a specific training in business to business markets.
