Objectives Students are supposed to acquire the ability to deal with the specific conditions of marketing decisions in business-to-business (B2B) markets. Based on a critical reflection of the state of the art literature, that is supported by lectures, and by developing and presenting a case study solution, students possess the necessary analytical capabilities to successfully solve practical marketing problems of B2B companies.
