Why is it important?

Understanding the need to revamp the traditional pedagogies, the current research aims at using a contemporary teaching pedagogy for a classical concept of “consumer decision-making.” The article uses role-play activity as an experiential tool and provides empirical evidence to the current study. Role-play seems to offer a practical and engaging platform for faculties that can help stimulate learning. With the blend of real-time situations, role-play can serve as a useful tool to fulfill the marketing course’s many learning objectives.

Perspectives

Once every group finishes with the activity. Each group should demonstrate a discussion about the role-play with a conclusion in the class. This will help each student understand the factors of channel shift in the decision-making process. We encourage instructors to record these demonstrations for further reference of the students.
