Amcanion cyffredinol
This module will introduce students to the main theories which purport to explain consumer behaviour from the perspective of gaining an understanding of the consumer as an individual as well as how consumers are influenced by their cultural environment. Given that the internet has become an essential part of modern day life this module will provide students with an understanding of how consumer behaviour is impacted as a result of changes in the way goods and services are marketed and sold online. This module also examines the critical issues and trends whereby the internet has changed consumer behaviour spanning across traditional/geographic boundaries.
Cynnwys cwrs
The module contents covers introducing students to consumer behaviour across cultures. Understanding the consumer as an individual is a large part of the module and this includes topics such as attitudes, emotions, identity. Consumer decision-making is also important and is covered in the module. The role and impact of culture in consumer behaviour is embedded throughout the module topics. Much of consumer behaviour is now online and there is a focus on new technology, trends, as well as digital consumer behaviour theory.
