Two sets of additional teaching objectives can be included: First, deciding when to use sales promotions, how to protect from their risks, and how to evaluate their success. Second, applying various psychological concepts (e.g., attention, memory, categorization, just-noticeable-difference, causal attributions) to marketing and consumer analysis. Case A (5 pages) should be read at home prior to the course, cases B1 to C are in-class material.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
