  • To nurture a judicious understanding of the issues and trends currently affecting the practice of marketing.
  • To develop a theoretical and practical understanding of epistemological alternatives relevant to the pursuit of marketing knowledge.
  • To provide a practical overview of the variety of methodological procedures relevant to the pursuit of marketing knowledge.
