Module 1: New Ideas on Marketing: “Unconventional” Marketing 

Experience is a two-edged sword. Although we can learn from past success, it will also hinder our thinking and progress, when it becomes a stereotype. This module will challenge the participants’ conventional wisdom and introduce some unconventional marketing approaches to broaden their perspectives in marketing through a couple of cases studies. It deals with the following questions:

• In terms of positioning, the conventional wisdom tells us to look for it within one category, but can we consider a “disruptive” positioning?
• In terms of branding, the conventional wisdom tells us to keep consistency and sustainability, but can we consider a “popular brand marketing strategy” for those short-life-cycle products or services?

Module 2：Game Theory 

The business world is like a battlefield. Is there nothing but cut-throat competition between companies? Does a company really have to build its success on the failure of its competitors? Absolutely not! As a company’s strategy will determine the actions of its competitors, any strategy that allows the company to benefit itself at the expense of its competitors is likely to trigger a fierce counterattack, making all its efforts end in vain. As a result, nobody wins out, only to find themselves in a prisoner’s dilemma. The inter-firm dynamics entails both cooperation and competition. How to solve problems rationally by using various game theory techniques according to different scenarios? How to precisely approach your target market and act more innovatively based on a smarter strategy, and ultimately achieve a win-win result? This module will provide the participants with new perspectives and thoughts by sharing real cases in and outside🔸快乐10分玩法说明 and elaborating how a game theory framework can help companies gain a panorama view of the competitive landscape and possible changes.

An appropriate pricing strategy must take social, economic and psychological factors into consideration.

Considering increasingly homogenized products and services in a mature market, how will companies grasp opportunities through innovation in an ever-changing business environment? Amidst tough industrial competition, how will they make an innovation in terms of products, services, advertising, business, project process, business models, and marketing rules? CMOs need to think over how to help their companies capture new commercial value in a volatile market and explore the logic underpinning business innovation.

This model, which introduces Logical Creative Thinking, aims to help participants understand systematic, logical and replicable creative thinking patterns so as to seek new and valuable creative ideas. This module focuses on:

Most marketing breakthroughs originate from a unique ‘insight’ – the identification of an unmet need in the market, or a superior capability in adopting customers’ perspective and making that the platform for marketing strategy. As customers grow more powerful and less predictable, how to help customers perceive the product differentiation physically or psychologically? It is vital for CMOs to ensure that their strategy and marketing operations are built upon customer insight. This module will explore how to apply the latest findings in behavioral economics and psychology to marketing, how to use new marketing research tools to develop a better understanding of customers, rethink customer demand and behavior patterns and identify new customer needs, therefore creating new growth points.

Module 7: Business Simulation

CMO is not only the core leader of marketing function, but also the one who is responsible for integrating resources across the company to make every employee and every function understand customer needs so that they can take initiative to work with marketing function. This requires CMO not only to think strategically as quickly and comprehensively as CEO, but also to demonstrate outstanding communication skills and influence. This module will provide the participants with a dynamic business simulation to help them fully understand what they have learnt and effectively improve their general business management capabilities.    

Brainstorming Workshop

In order to combine learning with practice, this programme also includes a brainstorming workshop on marketing in one of the nights in some modules. We will discuss the typical challenges and hot topics to seek constructive and innovative solutions.

CEIBS CMO Star Innovative Marketing Challenge

In 2020, CEIBS will launch the first CEIBS CMO Star Innovative Marketing Challenge with its CMO programme. The participants will be divided into different groups, and will focus on the real business projects of one of their group members’ company. They are expected to address the pain points of marketing management by applying what they have learnt in class. With an in-depth interpretation and analysis of the real marketing project, the participants will come up with creative solutions from multiple perspectives and work with the group member from the company concerned to formulate and implement a new marketing plan. In Module 6, the participants will go through an on-site defense session based on real data available after they have implemented the plan for about half a year. Each group project will receive professional assessment and academic reviews from the expert panel composed of CEIBS professors and senior alumni.
