Programme

Nudges, Choices and Managing Human Behavior

Organizations around the globe are increasingly using “nudge thinking” to help people make more efficient decisions. Nudge units are applying insights from the field of behavioral science to design communication, create change, and build a customer-centric approach to strategy. When these insights are applied to business management, managers may discover novel ways to communicate and deliver value, improve product and service performance, and help stakeholders make better choices.

In this programme, participants will learn how to use the basic tenets of behavioral economics to enhance business and management outcomes. Through a highly immersive and interactive learning environment, the participants will learn first how to use data-based insights to predict business outcomes and then learn how to apply behavioral insights to garner better growth through marketing effectiveness in the organization. Though the programme would be focused majorly on sales and marketing, it would offer an integrated view of the business processes and the role of nudges in the same.

Module-1: Understanding human decision science.
