Title:Inside The Mind of the Consumer: Thoughts, Feelings, and Experiences

Speaker:Ming Hsu,University of California, Berkeley

Time:16.Dec. 13:30-15:00pm

Location:Room217, Guanghua Building 2

Abstract:

Researchers and practitioners have long relied on self-report methods to understand how consumers evaluate, choose, and experience different product offerings. These methods, however, have remained largely unchanged since their introduction decades ago and have a number of well-known limitations. As a result, there is growing interest in brain-based approaches that may enable consumer researchers and managers to directly probe customers’ underlying thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Here I will describe recent progress and open questions in using such methods in understanding customer mindsets.
