Event Intro

Bertrand Russell once remarked, "It has been said that man is a rational animal — throughout a long life, I have been searching for evidence which could support this." Behavioral economics tells us that, we may think of ourselves as rational, but our choices are governed by systematic and predictable biases, as well as subject to change based on the context and situation. In this seminar, we examine the key concepts of behavioral economics from a perspective of understanding consumer choices. The relevance of these ideas pervades nearly all areas of marketing – from pricing, to communication to customer service. Daniel Kahneman’s contribution to understanding judgment and decision making, which forms the foundations of behavioral economics, was awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2002.

Brand choice is all about judgment and decision making – and understanding the social and psychological factors that influence brand choice is a must for every successful marketer as well as marketing researcher.
