Description

Consumer and industrial buyer behaviour theory, practice and models are examined and important influences on the behaviour of these markets explored, along with their implications for marketing.

The purpose of this course is to focus on why and how consumers make specific decisions and behave in certain ways – what motivates them, what captures their attention, and what retains their loyalty? This will provide insights into product, pricing, retail, advertising, and communication strategies.
