Marketing (MRKT)
  

  • MRKT 4563 New Perspectives for Understanding Markets

    4 semester hours

    Due to the increasing individuality and diversity in consumer markets, traditional strategies for categorizing consumers into broad market segments (using classifiers such as demographic, psychographic, or geographic characteristics) are now proving ineffective. Whereas many product or advertising strategies now seek to appeal to consumers’ desire to craft a unique personal identity, marketers often undermine these goals by using clumsy or inept group stereotypes in their segmentation and targeting efforts. This class is designed to help students reinvent the market segmentation, targeting, and positioning processes needed to address the rich diversity of modern consumer markets and avoid potentially offensive blunders. Quantitative methodologies such as multidimensional scaling and conjoint analysis will be introduced and discussed.

    This is an A-LIST Pathway Elective course, a COIN Pathway Elective course, and an MA Pathway Elective course.

    Prerequisites: BCOR 3510  and MRKT 3513  or MRKT 3516  or MRKT 4517 .
  

  • MRKT 4565 The Psychology of Selling and Consuming

    4 semester hours

    As a field of social science, psychology embodies a diverse array of theoretical “schools of thought,” which vary significantly in their fundamental explanations for human thought and behavior. From a business perspective, these contrasting explanations have widely different (and often contradictory) implications for how marketing strategies should best be crafted and implemented. This course examines consumer thought and action from six different explanatory perspectives, including cognitive psychology, social psychology, classical behaviorism, radical behaviorism, motivational/psychoanalytic psychology, and humanistic/gestalt psychology. Then, the different implications of each interpretation for marketing and advertising strategy are explored and discussed.

    This is an A-LIST Pathway Elective course, a COIN Pathway Elective course, and an MA Pathway Elective course.

    Prerequisites: BCOR 3510  and MRKT 3513  or MRKT 3516  or MRKT 4517 .

    4 semester hours

    This course will examine the status of our modern consumer culture. As an American phenomenon emerging in the late 20th century, and spreading toward much of the rest of the world in as the new millennium dawns, consumer culture is characterized as a societal ethos where shopping, buying, and consuming become the primary means by which humans define themselves in relation to others. In this way, goods and services (in the form of consumer experiences) form the “palette” from which each individual creates his or her “ideal self.” In this course, a variety of aspects of this consumer culture will be explored and analyzed from the perspectives of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics. In addition, the roles of marketing and advertising in creating and shaping this emerging consumer culture will be analyzed.

By developing such competencies, business enterprises will be positioned to make decisions that reflect the “voice of the consumer/customer” and lead to improved short- and long-term financial performance, as well as other elements of the triple bottom line, such as sustainability and quality of life.
