Learning Outcomes

Understanding and influencing consumers’ behavior plays a central role in Marketing. Consumer research addresses problems and issues in Marketing and Consumer Policy. In this course, we provide a description of typical decision making and behavioral patterns of consumers and show how these patterns can be explained and used for marketing actions. Therefore, we discuss psychological processes that play an important role in decision making behavior, such as activation, motivation, emotion, involvement, attitude and information processing. In addition, we illustrate how fundamental decision making theories help predicting consumers’ purchasing decisions and usage behavior. After participating in this course, students know the most important concepts of consumer research. They are able to evaluate research findings critically and can draw conclusions for how to apply them in marketing.

Content

The course encompasses two parts. First, students learn the basic principles of consumer behavior. Then, we discuss cognitive and affective aspects of information processing and show their influence on consumer decision making. Based on research papers, we learn about several of these influencing aspects, such as assortment size, product presentation, emotion-laden contexts and decision sequences. We show how marketers can use consumer behavior insights when planning marketing strategies. Thus, the lecture deals with the explanation and influence of consumer behavior. The second part provides insights on research methods in consumer behavior and their application. Students work in small groups and replicate selected research studies. We teach how to develop research hypotheses, how to design a questionnaire, how to run a study using an online-software, and how to present and critically reflect on the results.
