Dieses Seminar im Marketing-Management beschäftigt sich mit Markenführung im Profisport. Wir gehen den Fragen nach, welche Clubs der Deutschen Eishockey Liga (DEL) eine Markenidentität entwickelt haben und ob sie ihre Marke systematisch führen. Zudem werden wir daraus Empfehlungen für die Augsburger Panther ableiten. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Grundlagen zu Markenidentität und Markenführung geht es darum, relevante Marken in der DEL zu erfassen, deren Positionierung (z. B. hinsichtlich Tradition, CSR, Innovation) zu identifizieren, die jeweilige Markenkommunikation zu überprüfen (z. B. Brand-Fit, Zielgruppen-Fit, Digitalpotenzial) und daraus schließlich eine Empfehlung für die Markenführung und -kommunikation der Augsburger Panther zu entwickeln, die Partner dieses Seminars sind.

Dieses Seminar ist für Studierende des BA-Studiengangs International Management in der Vertiefungsphase geeignet sowie Studierende des BA-Studiengangs Betriebswirtschaft, sofern nicht die Studienrichtung "Marketing und Entrepreneurship", gewählt wurde, sondern BW generalistisch studiert wird.
