COURSE: Consumer Behaviour

“Brief Outline and Aims of the Course”
Understanding consumer behaviour is critical for understanding not just the marketing environment, but also the nature of the society in which we live. This module seeks to develop critical understandings of consumer behaviour that will hold relevance both inside and outside the domain of marketing practice. This module is best suited to those students who are open to new ideas, who are self-motivated, willing to read extensively and contribute widely to class discussion and who are curious about the nature of contemporary consumption, markets and culture.
