Description
This project researches the potential effects of retail design and layout and how it affects consumer-purchasing behavior. The research can be broken down into three large segments as well as a case study. The first focuses on the consumers and the target market. The second examines store layout in terms of walkways, wall placements, and major pathways throughout the space. Third, the overall aesthetics and design are studied, focusing on color, texture, shapes, and lighting. Lastly, a case study on a popular women's retail store, Antrhoplogie, is examined based on the above research. This project gives interesting insight into the minds of the consumer in retail environments as well as the effect of design and overall experience the consumers have in many types of retail stores.

This thesis investigates how student organizations market to students at Arizona State University as well as opinions from students in how they view marketing on campus. From a collection of data from in-depth interviews and surveys, it has been concluded that not one method is best at marketing on campus. Student organizations need to have a combination of methods to create a well-rounded strategy that will instill brand awareness and recognition on campus and, in turn, produce an increase in engagement for their organization via recruitment of new members and attendance at meetings and events.

Description
This study seeks to understand what design factors best aid in the elicitation of behaviors, specifically disclosure behaviors, from one party to another with the intent to provide some form of service. I looked at the medical industry to see how to create the best possible quality of care all while ensuring that the patient information is collected accurately and quickly. With healthcare in the United States becoming increasingly expensive along with the multitude of people seeking attention, the time that physicians have is scare. This scarcity can affect the type and quality of care that a patient would receive. Therefore, creating an online form to gather patient data would reduce time so long as the information was collected via a trusted method and patients were honest in their disclosure. The quality of the face-to-face time in a physician’s office would increase with increased honesty from patients, as the physician would be able to properly prepare for the appointment. This study examines whether screen lighting and typeface could influence a patient's disclosure of problem behaviors, such as smoking or drinking, the patient's rating of the importance of honesty, and the patient's perceptions of privacy and confidentiality during the disclosure. The results showed that Sans Serif [Arial] typeface was more effective in eliciting problem behavior disclosure. Perceptions and disclosure in relation to background color did not yield overwhelming results either way.

Description
The Hispanic population is growing rapidly in the United States and already possesses tremendous buying power and influence. The Millennial generation has officially outnumbered the Baby Boomers to become the largest generational group in the United States. This thesis aligns these two groups to study the U.S. Hispanic Millennial and the characteristics that make this segment unique and powerful. How are Hispanic Millennial consumers different and unique? How can brands connect with Hispanic Millennials in an authentic way? These questions will be explored through a literature review which covers three important aspects: Hispanic identity, culture, and the influence of the Spanish language. Next, a primary research study is conducted to determine if there is a relationship between Hispanic acculturation levels and language preference in advertisements. Finally, the findings of the study are compared with various research studies and reports to determine the best methods of connecting with U.S. Hispanic Millennials as a marketer.

Description
In recent years, trade restrictions have been lifted, national borders have opened up, and technology has improved. As a result, companies have been able to expand beyond their home countries and operate in foreign markets. This phenomenon has led to the rise of multinational corporations. Although there are been a trend towards international pursuits, not all businesses have been successful overseas. Further, there is no foolproof way to guarantee that a company will be lucrative in other markets. Some large, well-known multinational corporations have experienced great success in their home markets as well as some foreign markets; however, the same companies have experienced defeat in other national markets. The international expansion strategy that a company must pursue in order to be successful in a foreign market varies depending on the company as well as the foreign market it is entering. For this reason, companies must tailor their foreign expansion strategies to each of the markets in which they operate. From Big Mac to Maharaja Mac: An Analysis of Brand Management Practices Across National Borders examines international business expansion, particularly looking at brand management practices utilized by an array of multinational corporations. This thesis aims to research, analyze, and pinpoint key international brand management strategies and then make recommendations for corporations that are currently operating in a single market but wish to expand their reach beyond their home market's national borders.
