53555	Lecture-Discussion	BRM	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	Business Instructional Fac	Torelli, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Brand Management Section Info: It is required for students to have completed BADM 320 before taking this course. This is a starred* elective course for Marketing students. This course will open to all students in the College of Business on Monday, November 14, 2016 at approximately 9:00 a.m. Marketers recognize that brands are the most valuable assets that a firm can have. Companies sometimes go through turbulent times, but their brands frequently withstand these difficulties and stay over time. As important as brands are for a company’s long-term success, the study of how to build strong brands has been somewhat neglected in business schools’ programs. Brand Management is an advanced Marketing elective that addresses the key issues of brand asset management faced by firms in the 21st century. Brand Management helps to integrate theory and practice in order to provide students with an actionable theoretical framework that they can use in the workplace. Class discussions will focus on providing theoretical tools for uncovering and understanding the associations that consumers establish with their brands, and for predicting the effects of these associations on brand-related judgments and behaviors. This course draws heavily on theories of consumer behavior to explain how consumers react to a firm’s brand strategies. The course will make you aware of current issues in brand management and will encourage discussions about how to address these issues using theoretically sound approaches.

53414	Lecture-Discussion	C	12:30PM -1:50PM	MW	Business Instructional Fac	Khessina, O	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Competing with Social Networks Section Info: Social networks are an important part of our life. We rely on personal networks to meet new people, to find a new job, to make our friendships stronger. Unfortunately, our social networks do not always perform as well as we expect them. For example, our social connections may not know about any job opportunities that we already do not know about. This is how Social Network Failure occurs. In the past decade or so a number of online social platforms and social media organizations, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and eHarmony among others, arise to address the failure of real world social networks by helping people who cannot meet and stay in touch in the offline world do so effectively online. This class will focus on understanding how such organizations operate and compete. Specifically, we will focus on uncovering principles that explain how online social platform organizations can (1) build a sufficient user membership; and (2) monetize on this membership without scaring members off. Using lectures, case analyses, field projects and discussions of both the new age companies, like Facebook and Twitter, and traditional companies, like American Express and Nike, we will learn how to apply the network failure framework to help social network organizations create competitive advantage. Restriction(s): Restricted to College of Business. Restricted to students with Sophomore, Junior, or Senior class standing.
