5.3 MARKETING

Kellogg has long held prime position in this field because of seminal work by gurus like Philip Kotler. In recent years, marketing has become almost a science under the watchful eyes of statisticians working at top business schools.
Sophisticated analytical techniques like conjoint and cluster analysis have allowed customer segmentation to be taken to new degrees of precision. The growth of the Internet and the collation of databases containing detailed customer profiles, have only served to heighten the value and sophistication of marketing tools for achieving competitive advantage.

In Europe, marketing expertise is dispersed across many countries. INSEAD is the most highly rated by recruiters in Europe. Spanish schools are also strong in this field - IE-Instituto de Empresa, IESE and ESADE all feature well. In the UK, London Business School, Manchester Business School, University of Strathclyde Business School, Said Business School, Oxford and Warwick Business School receive the most frequent mentions from employers.

Italian business schools are less well known in the field of marketing. SDA Bocconi remains the best-known Italian business school and its reputation extends to many fields, including marketing, despite its being known for its general management MBA.
