Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar provides a theoretical introduction into the evolving field of Ethnic Marketing that lies in the intersection of marketing and cultural- and area studies. Ethnic or Ethno Marketing describes marketing practices that target specific ethnic groups inside a host country. Ethnic marketing is based on the notion that ethnic minorities can be reached and activated more effectively through tailored marketing campaigns that take the ethnic groups’ values, desires and needs into account. Besides Hispanics and African Americans, the Asian American ethnic group has been identified as the marketing segment with the fastest growing market potential among all other multicultural segments of the U.S. population.

Assessment and permitted materials

Weekly assignments: 20%

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Theoretical understanding of ethnic marketing, ethnicity and acculturation (adaption process to the host culture)
- Writing a publishable and original seminar paper that contributes to ethnic marketing research
- Executing a real life ethnic marketing campaign from scratch

Examination topics

This is a text based seminar that is accompanied with video interviews with ethnic marketing researchers and managers that were specifically conducted for this course. In preparation for each unit, students need to read journal articles and marketing reports, watch video interviews and answer multiple choice- and open questions online. Completing the weekly assignments at home ensures that students become engaged and valuable contributors during class. In addition to the weekly workload two substantial bodies of work need to be completed: (1) submission of a seminar paper that stands in direct relation to the discussed themes of the seminar and (2) planning, executing and evaluating in a team of five students a real life ethnic marketing campaign that targets the Asian Austrian community.
