This course is on the study of consumer behavior which is about understanding what leads to the individual purchase decisions that are vital to business profitability, and to personal prosperity.

The course will also introduce motivation and processes of consumption behavior; consumer behavioral science and its use in marketing strategies. Students will develop knowledge in theories of perception, learning, communication, cognition, memory, motivation, and attitudes of consumers.
