"In the past 30 years, the number of children who are overweight or obese has increased by nearly 50 percent. Ads for sugary cereals, soda, and other junk foods are thought to contribute to this rise, but few studies have directly measured how much marketing children see in a typical day. Now, using wearable cameras, researchers in New Zealand have done just that, finding that marketing for unhealthy foods outnumbers that for healthy foods by more than 2 to 1. The scientists recruited children attending various schools in Wellington to wear a small camera, or Kids’Cam, that would take snapshots every 7 seconds to capture marketing exposures. The students were about 12 years old and came from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Recording lasted for four days, starting on a Thursday to cover both schooldays and weekends. The team reviewed all of the images from the 168 participants, coding each image for any food marketing..."

15.810 Marketing Management is designed to serve as an introduction to the theory and practice of marketing. Students will improve their ability to develop effective marketing strategies and assess market opportunities, as well as design strategy implementation programs. In addition, students will have the opportunity to communicate and defend their recommendations and build upon the recommendations of their peers.

Everyday we are bombarded with the word “global” and encouraged to see globalization as the quintessential transformation of our age. But what exactly does “globalization” mean? How is it affecting the lives of people around the world, not only in economic, but social and cultural terms? How do contemporary changes compare with those from other historical periods? Are such changes positive, negative or simply inevitable? And, finally, how does the concept of the “global” itself shape our perceptions in ways that both help us understand the contemporary world and potentially distort it? This course begins by offering a brief overview of historical “world systems,” including those centered in Asia as well as Europe. It explores the nature of contemporary transformations, including those in economics, media & information technologies, population flows, and consumer habits, not through abstractions but by focusing on the daily lives of people in various parts of the world. This course considers such topics as the day-to-day impact of computers in Silicon Valley and among Tibetan refugees; the dilemmas of factory workers in the US and rural Java; the attractions of Bombay cinema in Nigeria, the making of rap music in Japan, and the cultural complexities of immigrant life in France. This course seeks not only to understand the various forms globalization takes, but to understand its very different impacts world-wide.
