International MBA, Marketing course

Before we start on 16 December, I would like to know who you are and what you expect from this course. It takes about 10 minutes. Please answer by Friday 13 November, end of day.

I am Quentin Franque, and I will teach this course. If you want, send me a connection request on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/quentinfranque.

Question 1

Rank these nine topics

Put the most useful one for you at number 1, and the least useful at number 9. Drag the lines to reorder them, or use the arrows.

    Question 2

    How close are you to marketing today?

    Most of you come from other fields, and that is fine. This helps me pitch the course at the right level.

    Question 3

    Do you have a story you would like to share in class?

    An experience, an anecdote, something you saw at work or as a customer. A few words are enough for now.

    Question 4

    What you expect from this course

    Marketing courses have a reputation: jargon, slides, theories that do not survive Monday morning. Tell me which of these you want to avoid.

    What you expect

    What you do not want to find

    Question 5

    What would really help you?

    A decision you have to make, a question you cannot settle, or something you would like to know how to do by the end of the course.

    Question 6

    A brand you admire

    One brand, and in one or two lines why. It can be big or small. I will use some of them as examples in class.

    Question 7

    Would you bring a real case for the group work?

    The group work will be more useful on a real company with a real question. Two ways to bring one: a company where a friend or someone in your family works, or a topic you are working on right now. Give me the company, the question it faces, and whether someone there could talk to your group. If the case is confidential, say so and it will stay within the group.

    Thank you, your answers arrived

    I read every answer before I finalise the programme. See you on 16 December.

    Until then, you can reach me by email at any time, or send me a connection request on LinkedIn if you want.
