Aims, contents and method of the course

- How do consumers think, feel & (re-)act in buying contexts?
- How can their behavior be explained from a theoretical point of view; which factors determine the outcome of consumer decision making processes and which stimuli may trigger impulse buying?
- And: How can marketers make use of these theoretical consumer insights in designing their products, stores, sales interactions and communication campaigns?

This course provides you with the theoretical underpinnings to develop an indepth understanding of consumers and their buying behavior. We will discuss the varous (psychological, social and cultural) influences on purchase decisions as well as the impact of phyiscal stimuli and media on consumer behavior.

To apply the theoretical knowledge (from as many different fields as psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology, neuro sciences, communication and culture studies), you will work in groups on practical tasks and case studies.

After completing this course on 'Consumer Behavior', you will be able to better understand consumers decision making, their response to various types of stimuli as well as the interplay of the manifold influences emanating from social and cultural enviroment as well as media. This understanding can be helpful in developing better marketing programs, but also in identifying harmful consequences and protecting vulnerable consumer groups.
