This unit reviews current and emerging issues and evaluates their relevance to modern-day marketing practice. It promotes critical thought and application of cutting edge concepts in both marketing and their application to the current business context. Of interest will be the way marketing has developed over time in its role as the driving-force of the modern business. The unit therefore focuses on the theories and strategies adopted by the marketing profession. Selected current topics are explored by various means, such as, case studies, current research, seminars and field projects.
Students enrolled in the L42 course or SPAAPI specialisation must have passed FBL5020.

Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
Students will undertake, and be assessed on, authentic activities through engagement with industry and community partners.
Students undertake an activity in collaboration or consultation with an industry partner but do not spend any time or only a very small amount of time (e.g. 1-2 short visits) in an actual workplace.
The unit is offered in a blended mode (on-campus and on-line). The on-campus mode comprises weekly three-hour seminars, incorporating lectures and in-class discussions. The on-line mode will be offered via the Blackboard site. In this unit students will discuss and analyse current issues in calls and off campus students will take part in online discussion groups. Students will research and critical appraise the current material available on a number of current issues in marketing, then select a trend to analyse. Students will develop new and innovative ways to communicate the commercial application of the trend they have selected. Through guest speakers and pod casts on Blackboard students will be exposed to a range of cross-cultural and international applications of the current issues in marketing.
