Content
The objective of this course is to lead students to consider "communications" as one of the many strategic decisions to be made by marketing managers (and not merely an operational task). While it presents the vast array of communication tools available to an organization, each tool or channel will be analyzed in a strategic perspective (integration with the marketing mix, objective(s), target(s), sector, interaction between the tools and channels..) and the optimization of each option will be considered through the lens of the latest knowledge in consumer behavior, communication, psychology, ... .  Academic research, case studies, experts’ interventions and a wide variety of examples will be used to this end. Last, elements enabling an ethical evaluation of communication practices will be presented to help student reflect upon this managerial task.
