What strategic factors must be considered when marketing a portfolio of brands?

Marketing strategy is focused on the actions that the business unit will take to attain its goals, comprised of research-based decisions, strategic thinking, the marketing mix and optimized resource allocation

This 2-day course teaches the principles of business strategy at the leadership level of an organization. In addition to plenary session discussion and practical examples, participants utilize MEDISIM™, a cloud-based pharmaceutical marketing business simulation application.

MEDISIM™ , developed in collaboration with Hubro Education, augments human performance by providing an opportunity for the learner to immediately test their understanding of the principles, processes and application of marketing science in a real-world setting.

In addition, simulation-based learning enables the learner to apply their new knowledge to their workplace role right away. Simulations shorten the learning curve, or mental distance, from training to on-the-job performance.

Learners apply concepts using simulation, and through facilitated discussion with experienced instructors, they understand how the training applies to their role, the company and real-world market conditions.
