This is a foundation subject in the Social Marketing and Not-For-Profit Marketing minor and it introduces students to the theories, concepts and principles of not-for-profit marketing. The objective of this subject is to explore the benefits, problems, obstacles and opportunities associated with the adoption of a marketing orientation in the not-for-profit sector. During the past decade, financial pressures and a change in mind-set have prompted many not-for-profit organisations to pursue a marketing orientation. Indeed, many not-for-profit organisations have turned to marketing as a means to ensure their survival. The use of marketing in different types of not-for-profit institutions will be discussed in this subject.
