Course of studies
Over the past few decades, global economic circumstances lead to difficulties when attracting, retaining, and motivating staff. In these dynamic markets, HR departments are struggling with how to navigate among new techniques and generations. However, in recent years neuromarketing has gained popularity among managers due to resourceful insights applicable to various business areas. Drawing on an investigation, this study examines how the implications gained from neuromarketing can be used to conduct an employer branding strategy and if neuromarketing methods can be a useful tool for the HR department. Analyzing distinct advantages of neuroscience by applying techniques that allow examining essential elements of the employer branding, leads to the detection of challenges and limits within the employer branding management and suggest a new perspective. Considering the literature gap, the methodology to assess whether there are implications of neuromarketing on employer branding will be derived from product branding. This study will first investigate the comparability of product and employer branding and then examine the extent to which neuromarketing methods can complement supplant the employer branding strategies. Finally, the results show the moderate relevance of neuromarketing on employer branding.
The interest in topics such as consumer behavior, consumer psychology, and decision-making in the context of marketing has increased in recent years, due to the rise in marketing spending, ineffective marketing campaigns, and product failures, giving way to the growing scientific field of neuromarketing.
This bachelor thesis proposes the implementation of a neuroscientific foundation in order to improve conventional marketing mix models. Firstly, this work intends to offer an overall understanding of the characteristics and techniques of conventional marketing and neuromarketing. Secondly, it explores the for marketing relevant brain areas in association with the importance of emotions. In addition, it analyses the connection between marketing activities and consumer behavior by putting forward the different arguments for its effectiveness of a neuromarketing foundation. Finally, the key learnings regarding the successful implementation of neuromarketing are discussed, based on the application of neuromarketing techniques as well as based on the Limbic® model from Hans Georg Häusel. The application of these two approaches is illustrated based on the 4Cs.
This thesis employed academic literature from several scientific fields and findings from brain research to develop a theoretical foundation for understanding the concept of neuromarketing in a business context. Various examples were used to identify the potential of neuromarketing and to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of conventional marketing methods and those of neuromarketing. The vivid examples and discoveries from brain research and the problems of conventional marketing support the statement that there is a need for something innovative to face the current issues. The thesis proposes the implementation of a neuromarketing foundation with the Limbic® model or with neuromarketing techniques such as eye-tracking to obtain greater insights into the consumer in order to improve marketing performance. The findings from brain research and consumer neuroscience indicate that there is significant scientific evidence to suggest that the application of neuromarketing would be an effective complement for conventional marketing methods and can create a competitive advantage.
Creating effective cross-cultural advertising campaigns is one of the most challenging ongoing topics in international marketing. This paper aims to apply the insights of cross-cultural neuroscience of emotion to advertising in China and Germany.
Examining the differences in cross-cultural perception of emotions will be instrumental for models used in advertisements across China and Germany, help understand the role of consumer age for the emotional reaction to advertisements and elucidate the influence of emotions on cross-cultural prejudices and memory.
Based on an expert interview conducted with the neuroscientist Dr. Henning Beck, several hypotheses were generated. In order to investigate the hypotheses, a cross-cultural survey in China and Germany was conducted testing the influence of the own-race bias on emotional advertising using the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM). The results of the primary research suggest that the perception of emotions is culturally trained and can lead to a different emotional experience of advertising for Chinese and German citizens.
Die vorliegende Ausarbeitung gibt einen Überblick über die unbewusst wahrgenommenen Wirkungsweisen von hochwertigen Druckprodukten. Das durch den Wertewandel hin zur Digitalisierung bedrohte Printmarketing gibt Anlass dazu der Frage nachzugehen, inwiefern die Nutzung von veredelten Druckwerbeprodukten einen Mehrwert für die Verbraucher darstellt. Dazu werden vier Hypothesen erarbeitet, die die Wirksamkeit von verschiedenen Veredelungsarten und hochwertigem Papier testen. Zur Prüfung der Hypothesen wird eine neurowissenschaftliche Studie durchgeführt, die die Wirksamkeit anhand der Ausprägung der Gehirnaktivitäten misst. Aus der Studie geht hervor, dass sich stärker veredelte Druckprodukte positiv auf den Verbraucher auswirken können solange diese keine extremen Ausprägungen annehmen. Die höhere Wirksamkeit gegenüber keinen Veredelungen wird angenommen. Außerdem zeigen sich Wirkungsunterschiede innerhalb des visuellen und haptischen Sinnes. Daraus resultierend wird Druckereien empfohlen werbetreibenden Unternehmen von der verbesserten Wirksamkeit zu überzeugen. Diese können höhere Investitionen in Druckwerbeprodukte eingehen, da die entstehenden Mehrkosten durch den Marketingerfolg kompensiert werden. Dabei gilt es stets die Zielgruppenbestimmung im Auge zu behalten.
In a time, where supply increases and thus distinguishing oneself from the competition becomes increasingly important, different neuroscientific methods are being used in order to find out what consumers want, how they react to stimuli and how they make a decision. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to find out how neuroscience can help understand what happens in the human brain, and how neuromarketing influences the consumer behaviour, answering the question whether the drugstore chain ‘dm-drogerie markt’ has the key to the brain of their consumers. By clarifying the neuroeconomic foundations like the structure of the human brain and the human senses, and by explaining the modern measuring techniques which are being used nowadays, the foundation is laid which is needed in order to be able to understand the insights of neuromarketing, its prospects and limitations, as well as Limbic®. By understanding the influence of emotions and motives with regard to decision making, the four ways into the brain of a consumer, as well as the prospects and limitations of neuromarketing, the relevance and importance of neuromarketing becomes clear. Taking a closer look at Limbic® (Limbic® map, emotional systems and the Limbic® types) offers theoretical support, which is being combined with the results obtained from an online survey as well as a store analysis, allowing a clear idea of why ‘dm-drogerie markt’ is this successful and to what extend neuromarketing plays a role with regards to the success. In the end the conclusion is being drawn that ‘dm-drogerie markt’ has the key to the brain of their customers, and that using neuromarketing elements is one of the major reasons for the success.
Neuromarketing ist ein relativ neues Forschungsgebiet, welches die Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaft für Marketingzwecke nutzt. Durch den großen Stellenwert des Inter-nets in der heutigen Gesellschaft, wird vermehrt nach Optimierungsmöglichkeiten des Webauftrittes gesucht. Ein Ansatz dabei ist die Anwendung von Neuromarketing im Webdesign. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es ein Verständnis für das Themengebiet des Neuro-marketings zu vermitteln und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Neuromarketing im Web zu verdeutlichen, welchen in der Literatur bisher nur wenig Beachtung geschenkt wur-de. Die Erkenntnisse dieser Arbeit wurden durch Auswertung einschlägiger Literatur gewonnen. Des Weiteren wurde eine Analyse von der Anwendung des Neuromarke-tings an expliziten Beispielen des Webdesigns der Tourismusbranche vorgenommen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen auf, dass ein herausragendes Webdesign für den Erfolg der Webseite von großer Bedeutung ist und die Anwendung des Neuromarke-tings dabei eine wesentliche Optimierungsmöglichkeit bietet. Insofern liefert diese Ar-beit einen praktischen Wert für interessierte Unternehmen und Webdesigner.
The neuromerchandising group GmbH & Co KG, creates holistic experiences for
customers at the point of sale by leveraging the latest findings of research in
neuroscience and evolutionary biology. In order to find an appropriate research tool
to analyze customers` attitudes at the POS three survey methods are tested,
evaluated, and compared against each other at the example of an attitude survey for
the MyMuesli GmbH. A traditional attitude survey method is less reliable due to
issues with bias compared to the other two methods. Possible reasons for bias are
explained in this work. The projective technique survey, which uses indirect
questions, is rather ambiguous and long, and the third method, which uses a card
game for the responses, is inappropriate for detailed statistical analysis. A
combination of the methods is recommended and suggestions for improvement are
made throughout this work.
Gegenstand der hier vorgestellten Bachelorarbeit ist das Konsumentenverhalten der Automobilkäufer. Die einzelnen Faktoren, die einen Einfluss auf das Konsumentenverhalten haben, werden hierfür analysiert. Auf Geschlechterunterschiede wird dabei weit möglichst eingegangen. Der Untersuchungsschwerpunkt wird auf die Beeinflussungsfaktoren der Informationssuche von den Individuen vor einem Autokauf gelegt. Als Unterstützung wird eine empirische Studie in Form einer Umfrage an Studenten und Absolventen gesendet. Zu diesem Zweck wird die Nutzung von persönlichen und unpersönlichen Informationsquellen, im Zusammenhang mit subjektivem und objektivem Wissen untersucht. Zusätzlich wird der Wert der persönlichen Erfahrungen der Konsumenten hinterfragt. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass signifikante Unterschiede bezüglich der persönlichen, aber nicht der unpersönlichen Informationsquellen bestehen. Außerdem ergab die Umfrage, dass die weiblichen Probanden ihr subjektives Wissen deutlich geringer einschätzen, als die männlichen Teilnehmer.
Mögliche Implikationen und Zukunftsaussichten für die Automobilindustrie werden diskutiert.
