Entrepreneurial Marketing: Examining Relevance of Established Marketing Theories in SME Context

The development of established or traditional marketing theories, developed within the context of larger, more bureaucratic enterprises, has guided management practice within those enterprises over several decades. This module challenges the relevance of established marketing models in an entrepreneurial context and seeks to examine the tensions that exist at the interface between the two paradigms. It examines whether a basis for developing new thinking at the marketing/entrepreneurship interface exists that better explains marketing practice in such a context and indeed beyond.

The aim of this module are to explore the boundaries of extant research at the marketing/entrepreneurship

interface and to examine emerging aspects of entrepreneurial marketing management decision-making,

particularly within the entrepreneurial context of the small to medium sized enterprise.

What you should be able to do by the end of this module.

Successful participants will be able to:

  • Develop new insights to and understanding of the practice of marketing within an entrepreneurial context, including new business venturing, the growth-oriented firm and the social enterprise 
  • Critically evaluate extant marketing theories and concepts, but particularly at the marketing and entrepreneurship interface, including marketing management in circumstances of rapid innovative change, limited resources, including incomplete information and competitive challenges 
  • Develop insights to and understanding of inspirational leadership guided by entrepreneurial marketing practice within different contexts, including, for example, new business venturing, growing businesses and social enterprise 
  • Demonstrate skills in effective communication using a variety of media and in managing circumstances defined by creative, innovative and entrepreneurial actions
