The International Association on Public and Nonprofit Marketing (AIMPN/IAPNM), in collaboration with Department of Management and Economics of UBI, organizes the X International Congress on Teaching Cases related to Public and Nonprofit Marketing under the theme:

positive marketing

Marketing is central to understanding and advancing companies, businesses, countries, major economic areas and also much of our daily problems. It has been evolving to catch up with the changes and also embracing new scientific fields. However, the positive effects of marketing in society have been questioned by social scientists who perceive them as a product of capitalist enterprises, made up by using marketing with excessive exploitation and as a tool for creating and maintaining their power structures. Thus, more recently there have been great debates about whether the marketing need to incorporate social dimensions, such as consumer protection, consumer satisfaction, ecological concerns and quality of life.

It is in this context that many companies, institutions and governments have been addressing these practices, emerging more and more examples of successful marketing practices with implications for consumers’ quality of life. This congress looks for a compilation of examples from all over the world discussed as case studies.

Cases to be researched will pay particular attention to the following issues:

Marketing and quality of life
Corporate Social Responsibility
Green marketing
Social marketing
Social entrepreneurship & social innovation
Public & political marketing
Nonprofit marketing
Territorial & tourism Marketing
Sustainability

welcome to faculty of social and human sciences

Built in the former textile mill “Ernesto Cruz”, as it is known among students and the population of Covilhã, the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences (FCSH) is located in Pole IV and houses the Departments of Management and Economics, Psychology and Education, Sociology and even Sport Sciences, which is next to the UBI’s sports infrastructures, in Pole II.

Equipped with the latest technologies, the FCSH focuses on internal and external communication through its Web site, allowing prospective students to meet “their” School, in particular the educational and research structures, and provides abroad, in particular to national and international current and future partners, an overview of the activities that are developed in the Faculty.

It is a priority of the FCSH to promote an intercultural learning and teaching process and to increase the involvement of students in research activities from the early years. Simultaneously, internships and professional learning opportunities are created by the entities with which protocols of cooperation have been developed in the region, in the country and abroad.

The Faculty works to be able to face the challenges of the 21st century, in particular with special concern in developing its students and teachers’ cross-cutting abilities and qualities. We want to train leaders in the several domains of our intervention, particularly in the emerging teaching areas.

Today the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities is a reference in its action areas, bringing together the best conditions to learn, teach and investigate.
