Responsible Marketing

Code: ULMS888

Credits: 20

Semester: Semester 1

We are living in a time where practising marketing in a sustainable and ethical manner is vital. It is also incumbent on a management school to equip its graduates with the knowledge to engage in responsible marketing. This module considers the nature of the relationship between marketing and society. Responsible Marketing combines theoretical reflection and practical discussion on key sustainability and ethical issues relating to marketing’s role and relationship with society. Students will acquire a critical understanding of marketers’ responsibilities and impact on society by exploring a range of prevailing issues and criticisms facing marketing. The module will equip students with both theoretical and practical skills that will encourage them not just to identify these criticisms, but also the drive and ability to seek solutions to the ethical and sustainable issues they will face as marketers.
