Description
The main goal of this course is to provide comprehensive insights into the processes and procedures underlying consumer decision-making behavior, particularly demand behavior. The course covers the fundamentals of consumer behavior determinants (such as activation, participation, emotion, need, attitude, image, and satisfaction) with the aim of making these insights applicable to marketing. The theoretical and conceptual knowledge acquired in the lectures is further deepened in accompanying exercises using current research, studies, and specific case studies.
The students will become familiar with the key interdependencies and models of consumer behavior, gaining a deeper understanding of demand behavior. Additionally, they will learn to apply behavioral science theories and models to marketing decision-making problems in business practice. As the module is taught entirely in English, it also enhances students’ Business English skills. Group work on a research project will strengthen students' presentation skills. The results of the group work must be presented in class.
