Consumer Behavior

Rate this book
With a strong empirical and market segmentation approach, this book focuses on how the Internet has changed the way people obtain information about potential purchases, giving readers the most up-to-date material on how technology is changing their lives as consumers. The Thirty-two mini-cases help readers learn by applying the theory, drawing on current business news to demonstrate specific consumer behavior concepts. This edition now includes thirty-two Active Learning mini-cases. A clear consumer decision making model is set out in each chapter to facilitate learning-- presented in the first chapter, this model serves as a structural framework for the concepts-- the building blocks-- examined in the following chapters. The book's final chapter ties all of these concepts together so readers see the interrelationships and relevance of individual concepts to consumer decision-making. For those studying consumer behavior and/or marketing.

This is a marketer secret weapon. You must hide this book and memorise its position and how to execute it with precision. Never ever let your enemy see this. Now that I had revealed my weapon, take this and use it to your advantage. All the best.

It's a good book for B2C or C2C, with a focus on product. If you are looking for a b2b services perspective, not sure it will work for you
