El neuromarketing, como herramienta efectiva para la educación en las ventas y la publicidad

The techniques companies use to communicate with their customers, for both sales and advertising purposes, were developed by marketing, a field that has evolved and been perfected over the years. In this context, neuromarketing has irrupted as an ideal tool for communication in the business world and many large companies already use it. However, many degree programmes in business, commercial engineering and engineering administration do not teach their students about the features and use of neuromarketing. This is the reality in Latin America, especially in Chile, and Spain, where undergraduate students are not taught about the future implications of neuromarketing and are forced to learn about it later under the pressure, and from the peculiar perspective, of companies. Currently, Latin America universities’ undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes do not teach about neuromarketing and its benefits from a scientific and ethical approach, so that students can fully understand the subject and its study as a social phenom. Therefore, the objective of this text is to present the results of the process of designing an ethical and dynamic course on neuromarketing programme that could act as a learning model that integrates this technique in undergraduate and postgraduate business programmes in Latin America.

Pero de forma irruptiva ha aparecido el neuromarketing, entendiéndose que ésta es y será la comunicación ideal en el mundo de los negocios. Grandes compañías ya la usan y los estudiantes universitarios de carreras de negocios y especialmente en Chile, de Ingeniería Comercial e Ingeniería en Administración, desconocen totalmente, su forma y uso, una realidad ampliada a Latinoamérica y España; alumnos de pregrado que desconocen sus implicancias futuras, debiendo aprender de ella tarde, bajo el yugo de las empresas, con una concepción única y propia de estas. Hoy, en Latinoamérica no existen programas de pregrado y menos aún de posgrado que ayuden a entender desde un enfoque científico y ético, lo que es y que nos depara el neuromarketing, para que los alumnos puedan tener una concepción cabal de la temática y de su estudio como fenómeno social. Crear un programa, ético, dinámico y que desarrolle nuevas habilidades a los alumnos, ha sido nuestro desafío en el inicio, por prime
