Consumer Behaviour: A European Perspective - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The field of consumer behaviour is young, dynamic and influx. It is constantly being cross-fertilised by perspectives from many different disciplines.

Now in its third edition, Consumer Behaviour: A European Perspective has been completely revised and updated. The text continues to provide a comprehensive, lively, contemporary and practical introduction to consumer behaviour, and how consumer behaviour research and concepts can inform and be applied to broader, strategic marketing issues.

Unique five part micro-to-macro ‘wheel' structure

This book covers the diversity of European values, popular culture, lifestyles and consumption and their role and relationship in formulating marketing strategy in detail. The unique five part micro-to-macro ‘wheel’ structure of the text takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the discussion of consumer behaviour theory and applications and includes the latest attitude and demographic data for profiling European consumers.
