Topics in Quantitative Marketing (MKTG-552-0)
This seminar required of 2nd-4th year students exposes students to working papers in current areas of active research. Students read, present, and discuss recent papers with the goal of improving their ability to evaluate a paper's academic contribution and managerial relevance and to further extend their knowledge of models and methods.
Quantitative Marketing: Introduction to Theory and Empirical Methods (MKTG-551-1)
This survey course introduces students to substantive and methodological issues in quantitative marketing. We cover ~6 weeks of material on substantive issues such as pricing, advertising, peer effects, and word of mouth. We also cover ~4 weeks of material on methods of causal inference. The readings are multidisciplinary and include topics from marketing, psychology, microeconomics, operations management, and macroeconomics
Retail Analytics and Pricing (MKTG-462-0)
This course will teach you how to use analytics and data to address decisions faced by retailers and manufacturers. Pricing and promotion decisions are emphasized, with additional coverage on topics such as private labels, product assortment, trade funding, shopper marketing, and more. The course is organized around a hierarchy of topics. We spend roughly one week understanding pricing and promoting to an individual customer. This analysis provides the foundation as we move to more aggregate decisions, such as setting regular and promoted prices at the product level, managing category pricing, and understanding the drivers of store traffic. As we progress through this hierarchy of decisions, we illustrate how different types of data can---or can't---be used to answer managerial questions. A key part of the class is understanding the limitations of different types of data and how better planning can both simplify the analytics and increase your confidence in the findings. This class is very practical and hands-on. Most of the data we analyze is from real-world managerial problems, through collaborations with leading retailers and consulting firms who have brought problem-driven challenges to the classroom. Weekly homework assignments, both individual and group, are paired with in-class cases. There is no final exam.
