Section Description

The purpose of the course is to study the process of consumer choice, its determinants and its implications for marketing strategy and to show how concepts, principles and theories from various social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology) are applied in consumer behavior studies. Case discussions are an important part of this course and include cases that take place in both domestic and global contexts. The class is also designed to enhance your communications skills, both written and oral, and to build your understanding of the dynamics of working with others. These are skills marketing managers need to succeed in the workplace. Because marketing is a practical discipline that involves art as much as science, this course will be taught through a combination of lectures on the concepts and principles, discussion of their applications, and analyses of some significant marketing/consumer behavior issues.
