Strategic Brand Management Course Syllabus Winter 2009 Instructor: Philip Sugai Office: 205 Phone: x400 Email: philip@iuj.ac.jp Course Description: One of the most effective tools to hedge against market risk and distance similar products or services from competitors is an organization 9s underlying brand identity. This course will provide MBA and eBusiness candidates with the skills needed to successfully develop, manage and promote the core values of an organization 9s brand internally and in competitive markets. We will accomplish this through two specific components.

First, we will provide a framework within which students will be able to study those factors that most often determine the overall success of particular brands in competitive markets. Second, we will then provide practical tools to develop and implement winning brands, including the ability to develop a clear market vision, implement a successful marketing strategy, identify and communicate with a specific target audience and position a product for optimal success. This course will especially focus on best-in-class branding strategies and practices across a number of industries.
