Consumer Behavior: Understanding Consumers- Designing Marketing Activities

By Stefan Hoffmann and Payam Akbar

This book teaches the basics of consumer behavior and analyzes what influences purchase decision processes in the long term. Why is the shopping cart fuller than planned? Why do people want the latest smartphone so badly? The authors clarify these and other questions by first summarizing how motivational, emotional, and cognitive processes determine consumer behavior. They then show how consumer groups differ in their behavior and what role the social, physical and media environment plays.

The book follows a consistent didactic concept. As a reader, you observe the fictional characters Lea and Ben in numerous consumption situations and learn about essential theories and models of consumer behavior. Case studies, descriptions of relevant studies, QR codes for video content and questions for self-monitoring ensure quick comprehension and effective learning.
