COURSE OBJECTIVES Branding is a constantly evolving and fascinating area: building strong brands has always been the Holy Grail of business success. Most areas of business just like the economy change at an unprecedented speed. However, one thing does not change: while finance, HR, even operations are being outsourced, branding will never be. A powerful, differentiated and relevant brand will always remain the most valuable asset for winning companies. This course aims to provide students with both the theory and practice of building compelling brands on and offline: it teaches them a much sought after way of ambidextrous (analytical and creative) thinking and introduces them to a practical toolkit of brand building and a wide variety of techniques, such as performing communications audits, conducting client brand workshops and developing a solid online presence. 5. MAIN TOPICS • Key brand elements (brand DNA) and what makes a brand strong • Crafting a brand strategy (strategic framework) 2 • Implementation: Working with organisations, agencies and customers to build brands • Metrics and components of brand equity • Marketing to the global customer • Going digital and using social media • Creating an online strategy 6. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES Core Learning Area Learning Outcome Interpersonal Communication Students will be able to acquire a unique Skills . mix of analytical reasoning and creative thinking and use narrative and storytelling for a more powerful effect. Technology Skills Students will be able to use social media and websites for business purpose. Power Point and presentation skills will develop further. Cultural Sensitivity and Diversity Students will learn about how companies from different cultures build their brand and internal culture around the brand. Quantitative Reasoning Students will learn how to quantify the value of brands, and how to use their knowledge from microeconomics and finance to make brand decisions. Critical Thinking Students will be encouraged to use their logical and analytical “right brain” and their artistic and creative “left brain” at the same time. This course offers an extremely powerful transferable skill, as it teaches students a unique way of looking at business issues. Ethics and Responsibility Students will be motivated to consider social responsibility of corporations through their brand building. Management Knowledge and Skills Students will learn how to build and manage the most valuable part of the company: its brand. These skills will particularly be beneficial for those who want to be entrepreneurs, work in marketing, strategy or management consulting. 7. HOW THE CLASS SESSIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED 3 The classes will be highly interactive. Lectures and group exercises will alternate, discussions will be continuous. Along with the core textbooks, articles and slides, we will discuss spontaneous case studies, and also use various multimedia to demonstrate key points and learnings. Regular on-time attendance is necessary to fully benefit from and pass the course. 8. POLICY ON THE AVAILABILITY OF LECTURE NOTES (For example, if you will be using PowerPoints, charts, briefings, overviews, etc,., when and in what form will students receive copies or have electronic access. The Moodle E-learning system should be used to the maximum extent possible.) 9. MINUTE PAPERS There are two minute papers, and they will be given out during sessions 3 and 5. They will be closed book papers and will consist of a few short questions to test understanding of key issues so far, thus might also contain very short case studies to stimulate critical thinking. A missed minute paper will be awarded an automatic zero. 10. POLICY ON CLASS ATTENDANCE Regular and punctual attendance at every class session is a requirement of all degree programs at CEU Business School. Each class covers material not found in the readings. Furthermore, participation in class discussions is an important part of the learning experience for all students as well as a factor in grading. If illness or another unusual circumstance requires missing a class, please do your best to inform me (or, if I cannot be reached, the Program Coordinator) in advance. A grade of “AF” (Administrative Fail) may be assigned for failure to regularly attend a course, to drop the course in time, or to complete requirements on time. This is a general CEU regulation that the Business School also follows. The “AF” grade earns no credit, 0 points, and affects your GPA in the same way as a regular “F” grade. 11. CLASS PARTICIPATION This a stimulating but intense course, so it is in the participants’ interest to attend all sessions in a timely manner. Students must come to classes prepared and participate actively in discussions and in ad-hoc group exercises. This will be reflected in the grading, as class participation will account for 40% of the grade. The use of laptops (for other purposes than taking notes) and other mobile devices are not allowed in class as they can be very disruptive and hinder students from focusing on the content and the discussions. 12. GRADING Two minute papers 20 points Group project 40 points Class attendance and participation 40 points Maximum total 100 points 4 13. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The Business School expects all students to adhere to the fundamental principles of academic integrity in any and all behaviors associated with their course work and otherwise, as stated in the CEU Honor Code (see Student Handbook). Attempted cheating of all forms is treated extremely seriously and can result in dismissal from the School and University. 14. LIBRARY AND INTERNET LIBRARY RESOURCES The CEU Library, at Nador St. 9, has the largest collection of English-language materials in the social sciences and humanities in Central Europe: 180,000 monographs and 30,000 volumes of periodicals, working papers, dissertations and so on.
