Learning target / Competences
|
Students are introduced to behavioral marketing research and become aware of how psychological processes and influences shape consumer behavior. They are familiarized with the basic principles of consumer behavior and marketing research. In addition to various forms of data collection (including questionnaire design), they learn how to apply selected methods to analyze marketing questions.
In Quantitative Methods in Marketing, the material covered in class is practically implemented using examples and partly supported by software (SPSS).
Students acquire knowledge of the characteristics, instruments and strategies of capital-goods and service marketing. In addition, the characteristics of buying behavior of business and service customers as well as the effects of customer integration and business relationships on such markets are explained. From this, business type-specific marketing activities are derived.
