Overview

""Basics Marketing: Consumer Behaviour"" highlights the impact of the digital world on consumer behaviour, and how it has created a borderless marketplace. The content flows from a micro orientation, focusing on the consumer as an individual, through to a macro approach, which examines how consumers function within a group setting and how this affects their behaviour. Early chapters draw heavily from psychology while the latter chapters lead students through sociology and anthropology theories.
