The Marketing Analytics (MKA) course is a newly introduced course in the area of Marketing. This year (2023-24), I shared this course with Dr.Mitra. The course introduces the student to various models, tools, and analytical tools in diverse areas of marketing, such as Pricing, Retail, Customer Analytics, and the like.
The Marketing of Services (MOS) course is an elective we teach in term 4 in the area of Marketing. As a part of the course, I ask the students to prepare (really, they prepare in the class and there is always a great learning when they do it) a service blueprint and after working on the same project they need to submit for evaluation. This is something different I do in my MOS sessions.
