In my journey of building a consumer brand from scratch, many of my ‘do or die’ decisions have been made by putting my consumers at the forefront. Professor Zubin Sethna has produced the most comprehensive work on consumer behaviour that I have ever seen, by far. It covers consumer behaviour from all angles including an understanding of psychological and sociological issues.
Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence is here to stay and the speed at which its applications are adopted by the consumer will only continue to rise. Lifestyle considerations, spending shifts, motivational movements and value adjustments, to name but a few, are all part of the behavioural impact which differ from generation to generation and across the gender spectrum.
A must-read for students who would like to explore consumer behaviours from a psychological and marketing perspective. Every edition so far has made important updates and kept this book on the top of my reading list for UG and PG students. The secret of the book is to have a neat structure and to keep its digestible format, unlike many of its overloaded competitors.
The fifth edition of this bestselling book on Consumer Behaviour is up to date with material for a post-Brexit and post-Covid consumerist world. It is full of relevant examples from a regional, national and global perspective. As with previous editions, the author writing style is academic yet current, relevant and easy to read. The book is packed with sections on ‘critical reflection’, ‘consumer behaviour in action’ and ‘brand experiences’ all of which help to really bring the conceptual academic frameworks to life and from a practice-based perspective.
I believe that the book's coverage of consumer behavior is very superficial. Not recommended for a semester-long course at the graduate level.
Student friendly text, clear examples.
