課程概述

Consumer behavior is more than buying things, it also embraces the study of how having things affects our lives and how our possessions influence the way we feel about ourselves and about each other – our state of being (Solomon 2003). This course is designed to help the students learn the basic concepts of modern consumer research in a managerial orientation way. It focuses on the major decisions that marketing managers faced in their efforts to understand consumer behavior. It covers the four parts related to consumer behavior including consumer as individuals, consumers as decision makers, consumers and subcultures, and consumer and culture. 

課程目標
The objective of this course is to expose you to the consumer behavior discipline from a conceptual, analytical and pragmatic perspective. As such, the course will be conducted using a combination of course lectures and in-class discussions over assignments/exercises. While the lecturer introduces marketing disciplines and its latest development, the assignments/exercises offer all participants an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in capitalizing on what has been learned from this course.

Two themes in every lecture (week) will be (1) to introduce the students with the basic concepts and ideas from the textbook, and (2) to study the advertising strategies and relevant issues in real cases. All students are encouraged to contribute to the discussions such that everyone can participate the discussion and benefit from the pool of valuable, personal resources. To stimulate maximum responses from the audience, ALL students must complete the assignment by the date noted on the class schedule.

The lecture note as well as other supplement materials will be uploaded to the website a week before the class. Students are able to access to those materials through ceiba.
 
課程要求
The grade will be based on two exams (20% *2), one titanic individual term paper of which is composed of a series of assignments (30%), and reports of weekly group exercise (20%).

A. Midterm and Final exam: 40%
The exams will be designed to measure how well the students have absorbed the lecture material and assignments/exercises. Midterm and Final will mainly consist of multiple choice questions and short assays.
B. Term Paper: 30%
Every one of you is required to hand in a term paper based on the assignments of each week. By week 3, each student should choose a brand as the research target. Student should constantly observe and research the development of the brand under investigation. Late paper will NOT be accepted.
C. Group Discussion: 20%
Students are expected to work in groups of EIGHT for discussing issues/questions prior to attending to the class. Working as a group, students should collect data and offer insights in response to the questions assigned. The lecturer will evaluate groups’ performance based on the quality of content of the submitted discussion outline (1-2 pages per week). Each group should prepare 1 slide and ready to be called to present their findings.
D. Class Participation: 10%
Throughout the semester, students will be evaluated based on (1) attendance in case discussion; (2) preparation for case studies/papers; and (3) contributions to the discussions.
