In respond to Danille's post...

Question: Do you think it's important to take a marketing/management class? How do you think understanding marketing can benefit you in your career or every day life?

Should take a marketing/management class? Danielle mentioned in the post that when she told her family members about having a management minor they asked her what she planned on doing with that degree. I myself will be graduating with a Management degree and my family asked me what I plan on doing with that degree. To be honest I have no idea but I know that with a Management degree and can really help me with either trying to run my own business or one day become a manager of an important company. But as I think having some experience in marketing/management can really help you out in any job. All jobs require some type of management/ marketing problem. Having experience could give you that extra boost to get a good job maybe over someone else that has no experience. Every little opportunity can really pay off in the end.

Marketing isn’t just about marketing it’s "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large”. That’s basically what every business deals with, so by taking a marketing/management you could be ahead and actually know what’s going on with the business.

 A management class could help because you know how a company runs and what it needs to do to survive. One important thing that everyone should know is the 4 P’s (Price, Promotion, Place and Product). Knowing about the 4 P’s can really help out with a business. Especially Promotion, Promotion is a very important aspect for businesses. Depending on the promotions/advertisings it can really make or break the product. Knowing how to promote through management could be very beneficial, especially now. So yes, I do believe that everyone at some point should take a marketing/management class.
