An examination of different aspects of consumers and their behaviors is given, from their motivations, personalities, knowledge, and attitudes to process by which they make their purchase and consumption decision. Described examples from real cases help to see the relevance of theory in developing the strategy and tactics that create effective marketing programs. Topics and methods of this course have been selected with respect to managerial and personal relevance in a wide range of activities throughout the career.
