The aim of this course is to provide an opportunity to the students for understanding the importance of knowledge management in organizations as an intangible asset apart from the tangible assets. Two essential theories of knowledge management, which are knowledge-based view of firms and resourced-based view of organizations, will be illustrated to the students as a fundamental organizational strategy. Some of the case studies / best practices of the multi-national companies will be examined and analyzed from the knowledge management theories and perspectives. Both tacit and explicit dimensions of knowledge will be revealed and Nonaka’s SECI model (socialization, externalization, combination and internalization) will be considered during the lecture.

This
course aims to develop students' knowledge of theories in marketing. The perspective
in this course is that marketing does not depend on a pure or single
disciplinary base. Instead, it may be regarded as an applied social science or
synthetic discipline in the original sense of the process or result of building
up separate elements, especially ideas, into a connected whole or into a theory
or system. It follows that if one wishes to be qualified to practice the
profession of marketing then one should know and understand the sources of the
original ideas and theories on which it is founded. The course focuses on essential
theories in marketing. The course has a theoretical approach rather than being descriptive
or normative.
