According to Dr. Nicholas Ashill, Head, Department of Marketing, "We are very excited about the development and delivery of these three new courses in Spring 2013. As the Chalhoub Group professor of Luxury Brand Management, I will be teaching the Luxury Brand Management course. The course will expose students to leaders of the luxury industry in the Middle East and in doing so will illustrate the wide variety of career opportunities available in the luxury industry and related fields."
"We will also be offering new courses in social media and business intelligence," added Dr. Ashill.
