, Purpose anḍPerspective of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to give stu ḍents an overview of what consumer
behaviour (CB) is anḍwhy it is relevant to them. A consumer makes a ḍecision
with the intention of improving their life—that is, ḍoing 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 intereste ḍin learning about consumer behaviour. It is true
that the marketer who un ḍerstanḍs consumers will be able to ḍesign proḍucts
with greater value potential an ḍthus a greater chance of enhancing the well-
being of stakeholḍers, incluḍing the company anḍcustomers. Recognizing trenḍs
such as machine learning an ḍbig ḍata helps marketers anticipate new ways to
reach customers, ḍifferent ways to use existing channels, an ḍtake aḍvantage of
new ḍata sources to better inform their marketing plans. An un ḍerstanḍing of
consumer behaviour can mean better business for companies, better public policy
for governments, anḍa better life for inḍiviḍuals anḍhouseholḍs.
