-
Marketing pricing, place, product, promotion, people….

There is a special section at the end (filmed in February 2022) dealing with revision on quality control, and customer service. Throughout the course the emphasis is on REAL LIFE examples. The lecture need not be stopped to answer questions as time limits are built in.
A unique element is short film clips are used in many lectures to illustrate a point or to encourage discussions – and these are from films the Instructor has acted in.
