This advanced marketing course develops student understanding and skill in distribution, financing, marketing-information management, pricing, product/service management, promotion, and selling. Opportunities are provided to apply scientific problem solving when engaged in marketing information gathering, processing and reporting. Emphasis will be placed on the impact that customer behavior has on the implementation of marketing functions. Financial considerations as they relate to business profit will also be explored. Throughout the course, students are presented problem-solving situations for which they must apply academic and critical-thinking skills.

A variety of instructional strategies will be utilized to deliver instruction effectively. These will include, but are not limited to, small and large group activities, discussions, lectures, demonstrations, teamwork, brainstorming, simulations, oral and written reports, and presentations.

| Assignments and Materials |
Students will complete assignments from the textbook, as well as projects that are created by the teacher. Assignments will be completed on the computer and by hand. Each student must bring pencil/pen and paper to class each class period. Students will not be issued textbooks, but may check out a book if they need to complete an assignment.
I want every student to be successful in this course. I will make myself available before and after school whenever possible. However, students must make arrangements with me ahead of time so I may plan ahead. Any student needing extra help in class is welcome in class anytime.
Students are responsible for all makeup work. Students can check with me regarding any missing work from any days missed. As a rule, students will have ONE DAY to make up assignments for each day that is missed. If the work is not handed in on time, then full credit will not be given. There will be a 10% deduction from your score for each day that an assignment is late. DO NOT assume that all assignments may be sent home, due to the fact that a computer may be needed to complete an assignment.
