Learning Outcomes

The course participants have knowledge of the principal concepts and key principles of the sustainable marketing of innovative products and services. They are able to recall strategies, methods and specific instruments that can ensure market-oriented and simultaneous sustainable innovation processes. Graduates of the course are able to describe how the complexities of sustainability issues can be integrated into marketing decisions. They recognize different types of innovation and are able to derive marketing implications. Furthermore, participants are able to describe how to select the appropriate target market, how to position the innovation relative to other solutions, how to communicate its benefits, set effective prices and select appropriate distribution channels, and how to develop solid relationships and alliances.

Content

Turbulent environments require rapid decision making with incomplete information. Short innovation cycles and high mortality rates of both products and businesses pose additional challenge to the marketing of product and service innovations. Since sustainability issues have gained societal impact, businesses need to integrate such concerns throughout the innovation process. The course provides an overview of the principal concepts in the sustainable marketing of innovative products and services. The course covers marketing issues across the major phases of the innovation process - starting with strategic marketing planning activities and ending with the market introduction of the innovation. The course will explore different types of innovation and their marketing implications, the sustainable development of new products and services, internal and external innovation barriers, methods of gathering market intelligence, consumer adoption decisions and innovation diffusion patterns.
