Spring Break

Behavioral ethics is the study of the how and why people make the moral (and immoral) judgments and action choices that they do. Its focus is not on philosophy, trying to decide which horn of a challenging ethical dilemma to select. Rather, behavioral ethics derives from psychology, cognitive science and related fields. It seeks to understand why good people sometimes make poor moral decisions and how we can best improve moral decision making. Today’s presenters recently published a book bearing the title of today’s session with Routledge Press in London.

Join the Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center and special guest, Raj Raghunathan, Professor of Marketing at the McCombs School of Business, for an interactive workshop exploring Design Thinking for entrepreneurs.

Businesses that want to thrive in the 21st century need to throw out the old marketing playbook that puts the customer first. The most successful marketers of the past few years were less focused on their customers than they were on building relationships across ecosystems and carefully considering their products’ end user — even if that wasn’t their direct customer. This monumental shift in the field was observed by Dr. Sebastian Hohenberg, assistant professor of marketing, along with Christian Homburg and Marcus Theel of the University of Mannheim in the first empirical studies defining and analyzing the previously nebulous strategy called "marketing excellence," recently published in the prestigious Journal of Marketing. Sebastian will present and discuss these groundbreaking academic research conclusions with a focus on the value of Marketing Excellence initiatives. Specifically, he will focus on three questions: 1. What is Marketing Excellence? 2. (When) Do Marketing Excellent initiatives pay off? 3. What are the components that payoff?
