Inhalt |
From determining consumer needs to providing consumer satisfaction, marketing begins and ends with the consumer. Consumer behavior principles pervade virtually all of the activities of the most successful businesses, including market research, product development, segmentation, branding, retail mix, communications, and some strategic decisions. This seminar is a collection of notable behavioral science contributions to the understanding and prediction of consumer behavior, providing students with the skills necessary to understand consumer behavior and how it impacts businesses and marketing strategy. It will be a research-oriented seminar, where we will discuss academic papers from social and cognitive psychology to understand, explain, describe and predict how consumers form preferences and make decisions. |
