From the Paper:

"Behavioral science explores the interactions and activities of humans. This exploration is strategic. Scientists analyze the behavior of humans through controlled experiments. The key to these experiments is to make the subjects, situations, and environments seem as natural as possible. Furthermore, behavioral sciences explore the decision process of humans. Included in behavioral sciences are various fields such as ethology, semantic networks, social psychology, social cognition, psychobiology, dynamic network analysis, microsimulation, social neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science. Behavioral science can be further divided into two categories which are neural and social. Neural involves information sciences and social involves relational sciences.
"There is an abundance of background information, regarding the automotive industry, which influences the use of behavioral science concepts. These include, but are not limited to: the size of the market, shares of the market, sales volumes, profitability, size of firms, and segments. Records from IHS Automotive and LMC Automotive indicate that there were a total of 75 million cars sold in 2011. (Reese, 2010) The shares of the market in the United States were divided among 5 top automakers. General Motors accounted for 19.4 percent of the market in 2011. Ford followed with 16.5 percent. The foreign carmaker, Toyota, accounted for 12.6 percent of the market share. The fourth and fifth spot were maintained by Chrysler with 10.5 percent of the market share and Honda with 9.7 percent of the market share. (Reese, 2010)"
