Marketing is a process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return. The concepts of marketplace include 1) customer needs, wants, and demands, 2) market offerings, 3) customer value and satisfaction, 4) exchanges and relationships, and 5) markets. This course aims to help students with the background of Industrial Engineering understand not only how to manufacture products, but produce valuable products to meet market demand.
