Dear Learner,

Before we discuss the purpose and the intended outcome of this course, please allow me to thank you for choosing Mudita's School, and to share the story behind its name with you:

"Mudita" is a word from Sanskrit that indicates a particular kind of joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being and prosperity. 

Mudita Consultancy aims to provide learners with the "cultural knowledge" that will help them thrive in a globalized environment, and to equip them with the tools to implement the best strategies and growth solutions for their businesses.

At the end of this short course on Psychographic Segmentation - designed for those professionals who seek to improve the relationships with their customers through deep, mutual understanding - you will be able to:

  1. list the five stages of the buyer's journey and illustrate their individual purpose;
  2. recognize the needs involved in the Self-Determination Theory with regard to buyer behaviour;
  3. identify the differences between autonomous- and controlled motivation;
  4. outline the four components of the Expectation Confirmation Theory and explain their impact on post-purchasing behaviour;
  5. provide examples of the four main types of market segmentation;
  6. compare the components of the AIO model (Attitudes, Interests, Opinions) and distinguish among the different types of AIO statements; 
  7. clarify how cultural values affect consumer behaviour;
  8. contrast different marketing approaches and assess the outcomes.


Hope you'll enjoy the course, and thank you once again for choosing Mudita's School!

Maria

Finally:

Since 2020 has been financially challenging for many of the people who are part of this amazing community, Mudita will opt for a PWYW scheme until the end of year.
