Sales and Marketing

GROW WITH US TO MULTIPLY YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The Executive Master in Sales and Marketing enables the development of an integrated view of the activities in charge of both the Sales and Marketing functions of companies.

These two cores enhance the strategic skills of operational management of the processes and levers of sales and marketing management and address its different issues: from the choices of structure and organization of the sales force to the development of employees, from the fundamentals of leadership in sales teams, to the main analyses for planning and evaluating sales performance.

Marketing Management is one of the main catalysts for the success of companies: not only through the implementation of effective promotional campaigns, but for the definition of target and buyer person to whom products or services should be addressed and their placement in the market in terms of pricing and sales channels.

Sales Management, on the other hand, aims to delve into the core issues for the organization and management of sales networks, so as to provide managers with the tools to manage a sales force that is increasingly prepared, motivated and capable of imagining new growth paths in the markets.

Delving into these two strands, the master’s program provides managers and professionals with highly specialized training thanks to a mixed faculty of Italian and international academics and business managers.

The 12-month program is divided into three modules (Analysis of Customer Value; Construction of Customer Value; and Delivery and Communication of Customer Value), organized over 32 classroom days in the weekend formula (Friday and Saturday), which allows you to simultaneously manage your work activity and investment in your personal and professional growth.

The face-to-face sessions are complemented by smart, in-distance evening meetings, useful for deepening the study during the platform weeks, devoting time to preparing case studies and addressing current issues as food for thought together with the dedicated lecturer.

In a simplistic way we could define artificial intelligence as the ability of a technological system to solve problems or carry out tasks and activities that are typical of the human mind and ability. Furthermore, thanks to the technological maturity they have developed, the Over The Top are fighting not just to incorporate innovative startups in the AI field, but also to start and support research projects and some of their results are already visible today (e.g. face recognition, voice applications, etc.). The aim of the course is to highlight the new trends that are affecting the market, and not simply for the applications directed to end consumers, but also for B2B businesses.

Until recently, it would have taken a long time and a few million dollar mainframe would have been necessary to analyze a “mountain” of data (Small or Medium Data). Today, using a simple algorithm, that same information can be processed in a few hours. In recent years, big data and business intelligence have become increasingly important, in both the academic and economic communities. The aim of the course is to highlight the connection between big data and business intelligence, and the way in which this relationship affects the companies’ business model, with a specific focus on real business cases.

Every year, our society uses the amount of resources that it takes planet Earth a year and a half to regenerate. This and other global, empirical evidence items bring the topic of sustainability at the center of the economic, political and social debate. Recent studies have shown the way in which a sustainability-oriented management approach adopted by certain companies leads to a medium-long term competitive advantage versus competitors, a success achieved also thanks to the ability to innovate the business model and introduce measuring tools to monitor and manage at best the value creation process. The aim of the course is to start a debate on the possible ways to introduce sustainability policies and practices for companies. In particular, by way of case-studies and traditional lectures, the course will deal with three main topics: Business sustainability and triple bottomline; Sustainability-oriented innovation; Green business models.

Gisco Aurelio

The great revolution in contemporary marketing moves from the centrality of the customer to the human being, with his or her needs, now intrinsically linked to values such as sustainability and social responsibility. From the rigid distinction between B2B and B2C (via B2B2C and BTP), marketing is looking at the customer as a person, as a human being with values of his own, who seeks companies that can understand and satisfy him through a mix of products and services.

 

Ancarani Fabio Guido Ulderico

Learning approach

The study methodology of the Master alternates classroom learning with distance learning activities on the School’s e-learning platform, which is constantly monitored by a specific tutor.

DISTANCE LEARNING
The distance learning activities entail a weekly work-plan on the School’s e-learning platform that provides an individual learning activity overseen by the specific tutor. The platform is equipped with a Forum aimed at the real time sharing of comments and follow-up between professors and participants.

HOW COURSES WORK
Courses allow participants to study a single subject area, ensuring an effective path to progress.
The Master is held in two different locations: a physical one at Villa Guastavillani, home to the Bologna Business School in Bologna, and a virtual one, i.e. the e-learning platform. The professor holds an introductory class, evaluates the competency level of participants on a specific topic, and informs them about how to use the material they will find on the platform and the objectives of the course. During the following weeks the participants continue the course on the platform. Therefore, the learning path is linear, constantly monitored by the course tutor, who is always available for clarifications and follow-up. 8 hours of study per week are expected. Each Module concludes with a final test to evaluate the level of learning each candidate has achieved.

In order to get admitted to the Master Executive, it is required to have a Bachelor’s Degree, however, a limited number of places are available for those who do not have a Bachelor’s Degree but that can demonstrate to have significant professional experience, to be evaluated during the assessment interview.

No, it is not. The Executive Masters are not University Masters, therefore they do not have ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), that in Italy are called “crediti formativi universitari (CFU).

At the end of the Master, a certificate of attendance (which includes the achieved results) and a Diploma of Participation (upon verification of successful completion of each course and of at least a 70% of class attendance) are issued.

No, because it is not a university Master.
