Consumer Behavior
This course is based on theories developed in psychology and builds a bridge to marketing. The conceptual framework of the course breaks the causes of behavior up into types of psychological responses (i.e., mental mechanisms), such as, perceiving, reasoning, feeling, learning, or remembering. These psychological responses intervene between the marketing mix (input) and the behavior of consumers, such as purchase or usage (output). The psychological responses hence provide a framework as to why certain marketing inputs lead to certain outputs, that is, a frame-work to derive strategically relevant consumer insights. The course also reviews a range of simple but powerful “levers” (inputs) that can influence consumer behavior in unexpected ways.

Finance Management
Managers with a finance responsibility are expected to have a working knowledge of the principles and practices of financial management. Financial reporting is now seen as less important than skill in financial decision making. The volatility in financial and commodity markets clearly shows that firms face risks. Financial management aims to analyse, control, and if necessary, reduce those risks to an acceptable level. This is an essential aspect of financial management and one increasingly sought by practitioners. The course aims to integrate finance management as part of financial theory and practice.
