Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This course aims to introduce students to consumer psychology. Consumer psychology is an area of psychology that examines how our thoughts, beliefs, feelings and perceptions affect how and what we purchase. Why do consumers select certain products over others? What makes you end up in impulsive purchasing? Is there any cultural difference in consumer behavior? As the society becomes global, marketers need to consider global as well as glocal strategies. In order to succeed in globalizing markets, we need to understand how consumers perceive standardized or customized products and services. In this course, students are expected to learn about consumers' needs/motivation and effective approaches to consumers. Students are required to make 2 group presentations.
【Important!!】The courses provided in Spring and Fall are identical and hence students are allowed to register only for the Spring or Fall course, not both. For Japanese (full-time, regular Keio) students, only GPP students are allowed to take this course (You need to pass the GPP qualification process). I will select students who can register for this course (based on the eligibility). Check details for the application submission process below in the "Lecturer's Comments to Students" box.
