In this course, we go through the fundaments of consumer behavior and try to understand the consumer both as an individual and in a group. The first part of the course is dedicated to the individual and the psychological factors that influence our behavior such as attention, learning, emotions etc. In the second part, we study consumer decision making, i.e. how consumers purchase products and services, and what factors influence their decisions. In the third part, we put consumer behavior in a practical context and study how companies and governments can influence and nudge consumers. We will also reflect on the ethical aspects of influencing consumer behavior.  Learning outcome - Objectives The student should be able to describe: - The fundamentals of consumer psychology, including attention, perception, learning, memory,   attitudes, emotion and motivation. - Tthe main theories of consumer decision making. - How companies and governments use consumer behavior research to nudge and influence consumers. - How consumers influence each other, the society, and the environment through their actions.
