Study Notes
Understanding Buyer Behavior
- Consumer buying decisions involve a process from need recognition to purchase. This process is affected by factors like culture, social class, and personal characteristics.
- Different types of buying behaviors exist, including complex buying, dissonance-reducing, habitual, and variety-seeking behaviors, each influenced by factors such as consumer involvement and perceived differences between brands.
- Business buying behavior differs from consumer behavior. Industrial buyers purchase goods and services for further processing or resale.
- There are four major categories of business buyers: producers, resellers, government, and institutions.
- The business buying process involves several stages, from problem recognition to performance review. Key steps include need description, product specifications, supplier search, proposal solicitation, supplier selection, order placement, and performance review..
- Various factors, including cultural, organizational, and interpersonal factors, influence both consumer and business buyer behavior. Environmental factors like technology and resources also play a role.
