Marketing

MIT Sloan’s Marketing group equips students with a deep understanding of behavioral and management science theories and methods, drawing from disciplines such as behavioral science, economics, operations research, and statistics. The group benefits from the pioneering work of faculty members like Duncan Simester, who explores consumer behavior and pricing strategies; Juanjuan Zhang, known for her research on social interactions and marketing; and Catherine Tucker, who investigates digital marketing and privacy issues. This collaborative environment fosters innovative research that addresses key challenges in marketing, including customer satisfaction and the psychological aspects of consumer behavior.
