Description

In today’s world of increasing competition, one has to strengthen the company’s position on the market. The knowledge on how to assess the consumer is important in order to succeed. Consumer Marketing involves understanding whether, why, when, where and how much, how often, and for how long consumers will buy, use or dispose of an offering. This lecture also deals what affects consumers as they make their acquisition, usage, and disposition decisions. This course also fosters the understanding of advertising campaigns and of communication strategies and is therefore related to the course ”Brand Management and Integrated Communication”. The primary objectives of this course are to get a detailed understanding of the internal processes which determine the human behavior, to expand the student’s knowledge of consumer’s decision making, information processing and to develop skills and gain experience in formulating behavioral pricing and product development coherences.

Each participant will get a detailed understanding of the internal processes which determine the human behavior. The students are able to enroll and analyze real experimental data and to create scientific papers. As the module is held in English, it enhances the students’ ‘Business English’-skills. The group work is undertaken in form of a research project. The results of the group work have to be presented in front of the class.
