Course Details:

This programme is concerned with Business-to-Business branding referred to throughout as B2B. It is primarily dealing with brand management for industrial goods and services with the aim of producing unique and effective opportunities for companies to establish enduring and competitive advantage.

Companies turn to branding as products become increasingly similar as a way of creating a preference for their particular product/s. Branding has been the essential factor in the success of well known consumer goods such as Coco Cola, McDonalds, Mercedes, Dell, Guinness and so on. Because of this success with consumer goods, industrial companies began to adopt branding strategies in a sophisticated way. But we must remember that branding goes far beyond building a name.

Branding is about promising that the company's product will create and deliver a certain level of performance. This very unique programme examines in great detail the art and science of branding industrial products covering the theory and key concepts, with plenty of cases illustrating the successful branding of industrial goods.

In addition to having your own personal tutor who will guide you through the course material you will also have the opportunity of meeting and discussing various aspects of the programme contents as they may relate to your situation with an experienced Mentor.

Specific topics covered include:

  • The Decision to Brand
     
  • Branding Dimensions
     
  • Brand Planning
     
  • Brand Analysis
     
  • Brand Strategy

  • Case Histories

Optional:

Personality/Intelligence Test

All our students have the option to take this revealing test for an additional cost of €25.00.

The test asks questions to determine:

  • Are you a 'Take-Charge' type?
     
  • Are you a manipulative person?
     
  • Are you a real friend when the going gets rough?
     
  • How popular are you?
     
  • Could you be your own boss?
     
  • What’s your leadership potential?

The objective is not only to help you achieve greater personal and professional success – but to show you how to get what you really want out of life.

Management/Leadership Skills Test

All students of this course have the option to take a Management/Leadership Test for an additional cost of €50.00. This test is conducted on our behalf by Verax international. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

We urge you to complete this test as it will provide you with invaluable help and guidance in enabling you to get the most out for your learning. The assessment sent to you when you complete the test will not count in any way to your eventual qualification. It is intended to enable you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and so concentrate on those parts of the course that are most valuable to you.

You may think that you are already aware of these. However, systematic research shows that just over half the population are unaware of their real strengths, let alone their real weaknesses.

This test provides you with a systematic way of assuring these for yourself. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong answers. Only you will see the results.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies – such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working – which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.

Good luck with your studies.
