If you ask an entrepreneur what skills or knowledge have to be developed in their company, most entrepreneurs will answer "marketing". However most marketing courses focus on the larger firms and the marketing strategies seem not to be applicable to smaller entrepreneurial firms with smaller budgets.The main theme during the course will be how small and medium sized firms (SME's) can create competitive advantage with the limited marketing resources they posess.

Period
11-07-2011 - 22-07-2011 (2 weeks)

Target group
All students interested in developing small and medium sized ventures, either with or without a profit motive. Previous knowledge of marketing is not required, an interest in selling your ideas is. To get most out of this course we recommend combining it with other courses of the Entrepreneurship track.

Course aim
The course aims to create awareness that the marketing done by SMEs is different compared to the marketing done in large firms. At the end of the course the students will have experienced some of these differences and have some tools to market small and medium sized ventures.
