Unit Overview

Description

In this unit, students learn about the conceptual foundations of relationship marketing and customer relationship management. We will then explore the different types of website, social media and search engine big data that marketers have to work with, focusing on the 5Vs of big data; volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value. This will enable students to develop practical skills in using big data for marketing.
