Recent advances in the fields of neuroscience and neuroeconomics are re-defining and enhancing our understanding of how human beings make decisions in general and how consumers make decisions from a marketing perspective. Laboratory and field based applications are now leading to new insights on consumer behaviour that have a direct impact on how marketers should be developing and implementing their marketing plans. This programe seeks to build on the emerging knowledge in this field with its applications in the area of consumer behaviour, pricing, packaging and marketing communications.

The programme is designed 
1. To develop the participant’s basic knowledge of how the human brain operates – what are some basic brain operating principles?
2. To understand using the brain operating principles how we take decisions based around the themes of “thinking and feeling,” greed, prediction, confidence, risk, fear, surprise, regret and happiness; how the brain receives stimuli, processes them and the responses that it generates. 
3. To apply these insights in the areas of pricing, marketing communications, packaging, product design, etc. with the objective of producing behavior change in the target audience
