Course Name: Consumer Buying Behaviour Batch: 2016-18

Semester: 3

Course Overview:

The study of consumer behaviour provides us with reasons why consumers differ from one another in

buying using products and services. We receive stimuli from the environment and specify marketing

strategies of different products and services, and responds to the stimuli in terms of either buying or not

buying product. In between the stage of receiving the stimuli and responding to it, the consumer goes

through the process of making his decision. The study of consumer behaviour (CB) is very important to the

marketers because it enables them to understand and predict buying behaviour of consumers in the

marketplace.

2. To understand consumer decision process as social unit

3. To apply consumerism in Indian and Global Markets

4. To learn about buying process of an organization
