,Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to give students an overview of what
consumer behaviour (CB) is and why it is relevant to them. A consumer
makes a decision with the intention of improving their life—that is, doing
something of value. The process of making a purchase starts a chain reaction
of value-creating actions. As one can see, people’s behaviour as consumers is
critically important not just to themselves but to many other people. This is
why so many people, not just marketing people, are interested in learning
about consumer behaviour. It is true that the marketer who understands
consumers will be able to design products with greater value potential and
thus a greater chance of enhancing the well- being of stakeholders, including
the company and customers. Recognizing trends such as machine learning and
big data helps marketers anticipate new ways to reach customers, different
ways to use existing channels, and take advantage of new data sources to
better inform their marketing plans. An understanding of consumer
behaviour can mean better business for companies, better public policy for
governments, and a better life for individuals and households.
