Marketing Strategy for Engineers and Technologists

John Svoboda and John Svoboda

As unbelievable as it might sound, 94% of Senior Corporate Executives admit that their companies fail to fully understand customer needs. Over 80% of tech startups collapse early, not because of weak engineering or cash shortages, but because they invest time in products the market doesn't want or need.

As unbelievable as it might sound, 94% of Senior Corporate Executives admit that their companies fail to fully understand customer needs. Over 80% of tech startups collapse early, not because of weak engineering or cash shortages, but because they invest time in products the market doesn't want or need.

This specialization employs a tech-driven start-up process to teach you the skills needed to develop successful strategies to launch campaigns and operate programs to achieve financial success in dynamic tech markets. Bridge the gap between abstract product development and profitable sales as you develop a marketing strategy for a real-world technology startup of your choice. Many startups fall into "The Chasm," underestimating customers' desires, leading to their demise. Validate ideas and propel your startup to flourish in today's competitive landscape!

This specialization can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

What's inside

Three courses

Market Research and Analysis for Tech Industries

(0 hours)
Developing a revolutionary design or product or software often becomes an all-consuming pursuit in industry. Yet, many gifted engineers and technologists are eventually bewildered to discover that their innovative product is wholly insufficient. A great design accomplishes nothing if it fails to address critical needs and the only means of aligning those is a deep understanding of the consumer or business customer.

Digital Media and Strategic Planning in Technology Markets

(0 hours)
An old phrase in business is "Build it and they will come." If heard at all today it will be ironically, as entrepreneurs too often make things that nobody really wants. In this second course we take-up the research outputs perviously generated and apply to them strategic planning to include the most effective analytical tools and stress tests to challenge and improve business models.

Building and Pitching Marketing Campaigns in Tech Industries

(0 hours)
Once we have a great strategy, much preparation remains to garner resources, plan the launch, and then execute. We take up how to pitch those executives and VCs. Once operations are rolling, distribution, supply chains, and ongoing data analytics provide the opportunity to iterate and increase performance.

Learning objectives
