A thought-provoking text that challenges readers to consider consumer behaviour in new and refreshing ways. The approach is distinctive. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences, as well as appreciate the insights provided by scholarship in psychology, sociology and marketing science. The authors not only discuss complex, one-off decisions, but also help us to understand routine behaviours that occupy so much of daily life – buying brands, patronising stores, watching adverts, making recommendations.
This book provides a wonderful (and very unusual) balance between areas of marketing that are often at odds with each other (or, worse yet, unaware of each other) … I recommend it to any student, researcher or manager in marketing.
I used this book for the consumer behaviour module in my master’s degree. It was my favourite subject, and the book provided valuable insights and guidance to successfully complete the course. The book is packed with the concepts relevant for today's marketer and highlights the consequences of commonly used techniques such as loyalty programmes and discounts.
A serious, thoughtful consumer behaviour text, that focuses on substance rather than what’s fashionable in academic circles.
It is a great book, but I was looking for a newer edition. We try to require books published in the last two years max. It's also very difficult for me to evaluate this book as an e-book. My students love electronic books, but I still prefer a printed copy for me.
Easy to read for students, especially for international students who's first language is not English. Interesting and useful topics are covered.
Content deals with contemporary approaches to Consumer Behaviour.
A lovely and engaging read that will definitely be useful to my Level 6 Consumer Psychology students. The book provides wide theoretical and research evidence, comprehensive descriptions of various phenomena and interesting exercises that could be used in and outside the classroom.
