Neuromarketing is a new field of marketing that studies consumers' sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. Consumer behavior is the study of how people buy, what they buy, when they buy and why they buy. It blends elements from psychology, sociology, sociopsychology, anthropology and economics.
As a result of taking this course, students will be able t

1. distinguish consumers as individuals and decision-makers,
2. describe how income and social class, various subcultures, and cultural influences 
 
  impact consumer behavior,
3. understand online consumer behavior, especially topics such as virtual 
    communities, virtual marketing, and e-commerce,
4. identify the consumer decision making process,
5. understand the basics of neuromarketing and how this new discipline is applied to 
    marketing.


On-line and in-person registration for this course will be available for all Homewood undergraduate students beginning on Monday, December 8th through Wednesday, January 7th.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in an Investment Bank?  Are you curious about what it takes to have a successful career at a major firm?  Are you ready to take on a summer internship in the Finance industry?  If your answer is yes then this is the opportunity for you!  Intersession is the perfect time to explore careers up close and personal.

This course follows the natural capitalization sequence of a company to introduce the main components of the financial services industry: private equity, commercial finance, IPO's, M&A's and leveraged buy-outs, Wall Street research, asset management, and industry ethics. Lectures on these topics will be given by alumni financial experts. The course concludes with a three-day trip to New York City, which will include visits to financial firms and an alumni networking reception. Firms may include J.P. Morgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock. There is no better way to jump start your internship or job search.

Note: 100% attendance expected for successful completion of the course. Engineering students can apply for the "Day on the Street" Trip without taking 180.104 Financial Literacy. They must still submit all registration materials and course fees by the registration deadlines. Course/trip attendees will be made by faculty selection. Priority will be given to juniors and sophomores.

A mandatory trip meeting/resume workshop will be held on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 5:00 pm in the Career Center Library, Garland Hall, 3rd Floor.

Registration begins Monday, November 3rd, and will end at 12:00 p.m. Friday, November 21, 2008. Registration materials can be picked up from and submitted to the Career Center.
