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.

Liang, H	Part of Term: B Date Range: 03/22/21-05/05/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Operations Analysis Section Info: This course is open to students pursuing the Graduate Minor or Concentration in Supply Chain Management. Operations management is the management of business processes. That is, the recurring activities of a firm that enable the efficient production of goods and services. This course provides analysis tools for operations management. Along with finance and marketing, operations is one of the three primary functions of a firm. At the risk of being simplistic, one may say that marketing generates the demand for products (or services), finance provides the capital, and operation produces the product (or services). Generally, operation spans the entire organization: Chief Operating Officers (COO)’s in many companies are in charge of R&D, design/engineering, production operations, marketing, sales, support and service. This course is structured around 3 themes: (1) capacity management, (2) the design and analysis of processes and (3) inventory management analysis. From these themes, the course aims to (1) familiarize you with the major operational problems and issues that confront firms/managers, and (2) give you exposure to and practice with the language, concepts, insights and tools that firms employ to combat the operational problems they incur in day-to-day activities. This course should be of particular interest to people aspiring a career in designing and managing business processes (e.g., management consulting), but also for those who intend to work in the interfaces between operations and other business functions such as finance, marketing, managerial accounting and human resources. Students are required to log in and use Compass2g (compass2g.illinois.edu) in order to complete this course. Restriction(s): Restricted to MS:Business Administrtn -UIUC, MBA: (PT) Business Adm -- UIUC, MS: Technology Management-UIUC, or MBA:Bus Administration -UIUC.

Seshadri, S	Part of Term: A Date Range: 01/25/21-03/19/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Revenue Management Section Info: Through a combination of case studies and lectures, the course will review the main methodologies that are used in these industries, discuss legal issues associated with different pricing strategies, and survey current practices in different industries. The ultimate goal is for students to learn to identify and exploit opportunities for revenue optimization in different business contexts. The topics covered in the course are either directly or indirectly related to pricing issues faced by firms that operate in environments where they enjoy some degree of market power. Within the broader area of pricing theory, the course places particular emphasis on tactical optimization of pricing and capacity allocation decisions. These are tackled using quantitative models of consumer behavior (e.g., captured via appropriate price-response relations), demand forecasts and market uncertainty, and the tools of constrained optimization -- the two main building blocks of revenue optimization systems. The topics covered include, Introduction to Pricing and Revenue Optimization; Static Price Optimization Models -- Differential Pricing, Models of Consumer Demand, Pricing as Constrained Optimization and Customized Pricing; and Dynamic Pricing Models – Markdown Management, Network Pricing Models, Surge Pricing and Repricing. Students are required to log in and use Compass2g (compass2g.illinois.edu) in order to complete this course.
