Learning outcomes

The knowledge of consumer behaviour enables organizations to improve their marketing strategies and market segmentation. The students will especially understand consumer psychology, the thinking processes and choices of consumers with regard to various products and brands, the influences of environment (media, culture, family, reference groups etc.), the various decision-making processes including bounded rationality and engagement influences. The proper methods of qualitative and quantitative research in the scope of consumer behaviour are involved too.
Students understand the basic theories and aspects of consumer behaviour, trends and research methods. They are able to gather and use primary and secondary data about consumer behaviour, perform market segmentation and setup customer metrics.
