Overview:

The business environment today has increasingly become so competitive that attempting to sell just through the media above or below the line will not achieve the desired result; more so with increasing influx of  competing brands from  the global market, be it in the telecom, financial and fast moving consumer (FMCG) sector.

It is therefore imperative today to treat each product or category of products/services as Strategic Business Units (SBUs). 

This programme will focus on designing, developing and implementing winning strategies that can be adopted and applied as a process to manage each product/brand with the overall goal of having competitive advantage.
