Sustainable Marketing Management

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the role of sustainability in marketing strategy. We use the triple bottom line perspective to cast sustainability as the simultaneous pursuit of financial, social/relational, and environmental performance. The course provides an assessment of current efforts to pursue sustainability with a primary focus on the interaction of the marketing organization with the environment. In the process, we investigate the interaction between consumption and the physical environment. We examine specific marketing tactics employed by firms seeking to maximize triple bottom line performance. We subsequently address consumption processes in the household, industrial, services, and transportation sectors of the economy. Prerequisite: MKT 291 .
