eh, this mostly lines up with what was in my minor classes, keeping in mind that it didn't go far with them. marketing was clearly the most useless one, the teacher was previously some major corporate ghoul and by the end of the course i clearly felt it shouldn't be studied as a science. like if you got a reasonably sized group of people, made sure they weren't sociopaths, gave them a reasonable budget, a good product, and they were all people who knew the industry the product was in reasonably well, anything could be marketed well. like go pick a dozen dudes who post on gamefaqs, make sure they don't kill animals, give them a ten million dollars and they could probably make any game into a hit.
