Most marketing action is aimed at consumers. Without an understanding of the consumer, the application of marketing tools is unlikely to yield the desired outcomes. This module develops a useful, conceptual understanding of consumer behaviour as a main consideration in marketing. The course addresses the topic mainly from a psychological perspective and offers first-hand experiences in a consumer research project. Overall, the course provides frameworks that enable students to address the issue of understanding consumers responsibly, systematically, and creatively.
By the end of the module,students should
- understand the scope of consumer behaviour
- understand the dynamic interplay of factors influencing consumer behaviour and the challenges arising for marketing practice
- get a better understanding of themselves as consumers
- be able to conduct effective group work
- be able to design and conduct basic consumer research projects
- be able to concisely present a research project
- be able to review literature in a critical manner
- be able to transfer theoretical insights to concrete fields of application
Each session consists of an integrated blend of lecture and seminar elements. Interactive elements intend to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic area and the ability to detect and transfer learned concepts to practice. To achieve this goal, a mixture of case studies, discussions, and hands-on exercises is used.
