Business Services Marketing


Business Services Marketing is a role-play event. The student is given a description of a specific situation that measures skills, knowledge and attitudes in business services marketing. Students will be challenged to perform marketing functions and tasks involved in providing services to businesses on a fee or contract basis or providing services to consumers. Roles in these events are those of customers, employees, supervisors, managers and entrepreneurs.

The student studies the situation for 10-minutes and responds to the issues involved through interaction with a business/industry professional (judge). The role of the student and of the judge will be determined by the specific role-play situation.

Preliminary round competition includes one comprehensive exam and one role-plays. A second role-play activity will be given to finalists.
