Description

This course delves into the intricacies of consumer behaviour, and how we can gain insights for marketing strategy and decision making. We uncover how consumers think, make decisions, choose between marketing offerings, consume, and dispose of products and services, and how we might use that information to build marketing strategy, and create pro-social impact within the unique bicultural Aotearoa New Zealand context and beyond.

Learning Outcomes

The Learning outcomes of the course are:
1. Apply theories and research methodologies to uncover the underlying psychological processes that drive consumer behaviour.
2. Critically reflect on the social, cultural, and geographical aspects that form and restrict consumer behaviour.
3. Synthesise ethical considerations, including Māori culture and societal impacts related to consumer behaviour, inclusion, and equity, into decision making processes within marketing.
4. Apply key learnings to specific consumer behaviours and draw strategic insights for marketing strategy.
5. Embed an understanding of consumption within a Māori and Pasifika context into marketing strategy and planning.
