課程簡介Course Description

This course acquaints students with the fundamental concepts of theory and provides an introduction to a variety of theories that can be applied to the study of advertising in a broad sense. We review the academic literature in terms of its theoretical relevance as an approach to studying marketing communication in the global context. Our challenge is to translate theoretical concepts from a number of different fields and relate them to how contemporary marketing communication works in practice. By shedding light on the psychological underpinnings of consumers’ processing and responses to different types of marketing communication sources, media, formats, and message strategies, this course will help students make more insightful and effective decisions when developing marketing communication campaigns.
