AIESEC: the Experience Pakistan challenge
Publication date: 19 February 2014
Abstract
Subject area
Marketing.
Study level/applicability
The case can be used in final year undergraduate and graduate level marketing courses in Services Marketing, Marketing Management and Brand Management.
Case overview
Meg Lyons, the Vice President of AIESEC Pakistan's Talent Management and Local Committee Development, has relaunched the Experience Pakistan – a brand designed to develop a positive identity for Pakistan in the AIESEC world in order to have positive growth in the absolute exchange numbers for AIESEC Pakistan. AIESEC's philosophy is to nurture youth and develop them as leaders; all leadership positions in AIESEC are therefore held by individuals for only a year. This being the biggest and an unavoidable problem, Meg has to come up with a way of further developing and strengthening the Experience Pakistan brand.
Expected learning outcomes
The case requires the students to suggest a viable action plan for positioning Experience Pakistan and devising the implementation strategy.
