Brand Management: Aligning Business, Brand and Behaviour
Professor Nader Tavassoli of London Business School contrasts traditional approaches to branding - where brands are a visual identity and a promise to customers - to brands as a customer experience delivered by the entire organisation. The course offers a brand workout for your own brands, as well as guest videos from leading branding professionals. The aim of the course is to change the conception of brands as being an organisation's visual identity (e.g., logo) and image (customers' brand associations) to an experience along "moments-that-matter" along the customer journey and, therefore, delivered by people across the entire organisation. Brands are thus not only an external promise to customers, but a means of executing business strategy via internal brand-led behaviour and culture change. You will learn and practice the following skills: 1. How to build brands from a broad organisational perspective 2. How to lead brand-led culture change with human resource practices at the core (i.e., brand as a lever and not just an outcome) 3. How to build brands in multi-brand companies, across cultures and geographies 4. How to measure brand health in new ways, that is, internally in addition to externally 5. How to value and capture returns to brands across the organisation - introducing the new concept of employee-based brand equity - and how this is different from the valuation of brands as intangible assets. This course allows you to develop the following aspects of yourself: 1. Head. Gain a deeper understanding of the evolving practice of brand management, one that goes further than practiced in most organisations today 2. Heart. Be motivated to engage in delivering your own brands – regardless of where you are in your organisation – thereby creating superior value for customers and for your organisation 3. Hands. Translate learnings into action. As Confucius is supposed to have said: “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

Amazon Dropshipping And Retail Arbitrage With AI
Want to start and scale a profitable business on Amazon without having to deal with inventory management and high initial investment? Look no further than this in-depth Amazon Dropshipping and Retail Arbitrage course! You'll learn step-by-step how to use Amazon's high demand for products to your advantage and become a successful dropshipper. This is when you sell products on Amazon at a higher price and fulfill them from other suppliers at a lower cost, profiting from the difference. By acting as the "middleman", you can keep a portion of the profit without ever having to store inventory or make upfront purchases - you buy the products only after you make the sales! The course covers everything from identifying profitable products to automating the entire process with powerful software tools. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced seller looking to scale your dropshipping business, this course will guide you at every stage of the process. BENEFITS OF AMAZON DROPSHIPPING AND RETAIL ARBITRAGE Low initial capital required No inventory to store You can change the products you sell at any moment You can do it from any part of the world USING AUTOMATION SOFTWARE HELP YOU Find and list profitable products in a few clicks Monitor suppliers products for pricing and availability changes Increase your Buybox ownership by utilizing AI-powered repricing algorithms Get valuable insights for your products and orders Save time! GET UP AND RUNNING THE SAME DAY, EVEN IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER This course walks you through every step of the process. If you are just starting, this is a great course to take because it explains every concept, every software, and every step of the process from scratch. WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR This course is for dropshippers on Amazon. This is the process of selling products on Amazon, and then finding those same products elsewhere online for cheaper prices, and buy those products to ship to your Amazon buyers. BENEFITS OF AMAZON DROPSHIPPING AND FBM No inventory to buy upfront You can change the products you sell at any moment You don't have to choose a niche, and can change niches easily CONTROL YOUR PROFIT IN AN AUTOMATED WAY When you post your products, you will tell the repricing software the profit you want for each sale, and it will work within the parameters you give it. You don't have to worry about any price changes on Amazon or your supplier side. Your repricing software will do this for you. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULFILLED BY AMAZON AND FULFILLED BY MERCHANT This course uses the Fulfilled By Merchant strategy. That means that the shipping and handling is your responsibility. While this is an extra burden, it gives you significant flexibility in how you run your business, and in this course we take advantage of this flexibility by using proven suppliers to fulfill your orders. That opens up the possibility of using price arbitrage. PRICE ARBITRAGE The repricing software and other software in this course will find products that have a different price on Amazon and other suppliers. So you can sell for a higher price on Amazon, and fulfill the product at a lower price from other suppliers, and keep the difference. ARBITRAGE EXAMPLE If a product is $100 on Amazon, but $50 elsewhere, you can sell it on Amazon, but fulfill the product by buying it at the $50 price and shipping it to the buyer. You get to keep the $50 in price. SOFTWARE USED IN THE COURSE This course uses software to automate your Amazon dropshipping process. The software isn't free, but all software shown in the course does have a free trial so you can see if it works for you. Invest in your future! Enroll today!

Microeconomics: Foundations and Insights
Welcome to the Microeconomics course! This course will help you develop an in-depth understanding of the microeconomics principles and market mechanisms. It provides the tools and framework you need to understand the economy at large and decision-making at the individual unit level. In a world with infinite calls on finite resources, the choice is the central problem of public policy. The tools and techniques of economics are critical in addressing it. A microeconomic model can help you analyze and evaluate any problem associated with a choice, be it climate change, inequality, or which color jeans to buy. A choice, however, only makes sense if we are aware of the available options. The (dismal) science of economics helps there too, by hard coding limitations into these optimization efforts. This course helps you dive deep into the economic elements, even if you have little or no previous exposure to formal economics. This course enables you to use the basic framework of incentives, trade-offs, prices, markets, and underlying modern microeconomics to understand the economy at large. The economic theories from the course will help you contextualize the current pressing concerns of public policy, which will further aid in the development of a more precise formulation of policy-relevant problems and potential solutions.
