Study Notes

Consumer Behaviour

Marketing is not rocket science, it is a social science, not a guaranteed process.
One-to-one relationship between the process quality and the outcome quality.
Difficult to predict consumer behaviour.
Value creation: the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, stakeholders, and firms.
Value from engineering: creating good products
Value from marketing: creating everything around the product (e.g. online comments)

Correlation and User Ratings

High correlation between amazon and consumer reports rating indicates higher quality products and higher user ratings.
Zero Correlation means no relationship between ratings and quality.
Negative correlation means higher amazon ratings imply lower quality.
Correlation alone does not imply causation.

User Perceptions and Influences

User ratings are higher when the price is higher.
User satisfaction is influenced by marketing variables.
User satisfaction can be manipulated through product testing and sample order.
Recent experiments show user behavior is now very influenced by other people's online comments.

Other Experiments

Willingness to pay is influenced by the packaging, not as much by the ingredients.
Many new songs from new artists have been made available in different markets
Listening behavior is affected by social observation
Market-based popularity influences popularity in market-based settings

Managerial Thinking Traps

Value that consumers see in a product depends on more than just its objective performance.
Drivers of value are packaging and society/social influences.
Businesses must look at what consumers want.
Marketing is more crucial than the marketing department.
Egocentrism undermines effective marketing.
People overestimate their own knowledge and underestimate others'.
