Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
Contemporary approaches to neuromarketing studies within the
scope of the marketing mix will be seen in relation to an added
value to marketing research and practice. Specifically, the
focus is on the nonconscious processes and emotional responses that
are difficult to put words on. Topics such as attention, habits,
behaviour, memory, preference formation and decision making are
covered. The course provides an opportunity for students to
deepen their understanding of how brand elements, design,
advertising, store atmosphere are processed in the human brain and
body. Furthermore, the course gives insights into the benefits of
neuromartketing in short term planning and into long term
marketing strategy.
