This 21st century is not going to be happy with “Consumer-satisfaction”- but is certainly with “Consumer-delight”. This is possible only when the marketers understand the consumers which is not an easy task.

That is why, more importance is given to the study of CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR in all the university Departments where commerce and management subjects are taught. It is a welcome step that Bangalore University has introduced this subject at BBA level.
