Sini Setälä
Behavioral economics assumes that people are boundedly rational actors with limited cognitive processing power and time, whose choices are influenced by the contexts in which decisions are embedded. (Samson, Behavioral Economics Guide 2017)
Behavioral economics takes into account the effects of psychological, social, cognitive, and emotional factors on economic decision making. During this course we will study them, discuss the role of rationality and emotions in purchasing decisions and seek to understand the mechanisms that define judgment processes.
The assignments that arrive late will be graded only if the late handing in has been agreed in advance with the teacher. The honoring of deadlines is taken into account in the grading. The late handing in will lower the grade, and if not justified, disallows the completing of this course.

Understanding customers can be challenging. How do we define what is valuable for an individual customer? What about organizations as customers? Today, many of the trends are international, but their local interpretation and implementation may still be very multifold. The study of the human mind has gone a long way, but part of the mind’s operations, especially on individual level, still remain difficult to forecast.
During this course we will define the factors that underlie customer actions, feelings, and judgment processes. We strive to understand purchasing decisions from the perspective of the individual and the organization, and analyze patterns and trends in customer behaviour.
The course grade is composed of two assignments which both need to be successfully completed and handed in by the deadlines. The assignments that arrive late will be graded only if the late handing in has been agreed in advance with the teacher. The honoring of deadlines is taken into account in the grading. The late handing in will lower the grade, and if not justified, disallows the completing of this course.
