62701-01 - Lecture: Consumer Behavior (3 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2023 |
| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Juliano Laran (juliano.laran@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | We will cover the area of consumer behavior, especially how the mind of a consumer works and how theories of decision making can predict consumers’ decisions. In each class, we will also learn how to apply these theories in the real world, as understanding consumers is key to marketing strategy. The research methods we will focus on are experiments and surveys, but we will also have at least one class discussing qualitative methods and their application to understand consumers. Finally, we will discuss the concepts of consumer perception, motivation, persuasion, decision making, post-decision making (e.g., satisfaction, loyalty), and segmentation. |
| Learning objectives | The goals of this course are for students to be able to: (a) explore consumer behavior concepts, (b) develop the ability to apply the theories discussed in class to common marketing problems, and (c) develop skills that are important in managerial positions. |
