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.
