Omschrijving
This thoroughly updated second edition of Essentials of Consumer Behavior offers a concise alternative to traditional textbooks with a practice-based approach.
"After years of preparation, pursuing a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, Stephens has created a carefully constructed and beautifully written treatise that covers the conventional decision-oriented information-processing approach to buyer choices and the traditional methods of data-driven research, but that also branches into such newer areas as ethnography and netnography, the impact of social media, and the special needs of vulnerable consumers – including the disabled, children, other marginalized groups, and even animals. Stephens provides plentiful real-world examples and an engaging style throughout, perhaps most of all when she delves into the world of pet ownership and tells tales of her own beloved Gounguroo." - Morris B. Holbrook, W. T. Dillard Professor Emeritus of Marketing, Graduate School of Business, Columbia University
"One of the strengths of this textbook is the author’s use of vivid examples to clarify the nature of the concepts being introduced. Further, the examples do a good job of demonstrating the nature of their interface with society. This text provides an interesting and somewhat unique perspective of consumer behavior." - James W. Gentry, Emeritus Professor of Marketing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
"This consumer behavior book is a rare offering that goes beyond the stale structure that focuses on selling soap to include a more humanistic approach that recognizes the vagaries of everyday life. If you want your students to have a deeper understanding of our material environments, you should direct them to this wholistic understanding of the intersection of people and markets in a most profound way. Few, if any, other options provide a similar academic journey." - Ron Hill, Dean's Professor of Marketing and Public Policy, Kogod School of Business, Marketing Department Chair, Vice President of Publications, American Marketing Association
"Debra Stephens has crafted an easy-to-read, comprehensive textbook on consumer behavior that brings key concepts to life through examples and cases. In particular, I appreciate the integration of vulnerability into the study of consumer behavior, as it facilitates a deeper understanding of the realities of today’s marketplace. Kudos to Debra for her outstanding work!" - Andrew S. Gallan, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Marketing, College of Business, Florida Atlantic University
