CHAPTER SUMMARY After reading this chapter, students should understand that: Consumers use products to help them define their identities in different settings. A consumer may purchase, use, and dispose of a product, but different people may perform these functions. In addition, we can think of consumers as role players who need different products to help them play their various parts. Consumer behavior is a process. Consumer behavior is the study of the processes involved when individuals or groups select, purchase, use, or dispose of products, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy needs and desires. Marketers need to understand the wants and needs of different consumer segments. Market segmentation is an important aspect of consumer behavior. Consumers can be segmented according to many dimensions, including product usage...

...industries, from newspaper to television to music and more, are experiencing this shift and are desperately attempting to react to the changing media landscape that has placed much of the control on the consumers rather than the producers of these media forms. Two digital media forms experiencing particularly interesting shifts of power are video games and digital music. Consumers of digital media forms such as video games and digital music files have complicated the traditional notion of authorship through their use of digital media technologies, which allows them to use digital media as an instrument of expression. Before delving into the intricacies surrounding this new form of authorship present in digital media it is first important to discuss the notion of authorship prior to the emergence of this digitally induced phenomenon. In non-digital mediums such as books, radio, and television, authorship exists as an individual endeavor, as authorship is only granted to the original author(s) of the media. As a consumer of this non-digital media the only point of contention as it relates to authorial expression is limited is the debate over authorial intent or narrative interpretation in these non-interactive cultural forms. Books, television, and radio are more or less consumed passively and the only means of authoring something from these forms of media is to create an entirely new piece of media that is related to the original. For example, a viewer of a television show or movie...

...Marketing 347 – Consumer Behavior Professor Sheridan Abraham Michelle Ramsay Assignment #1- Chapter 1. 1. Consumer behavior studies the processes involved when individuals or groups select, purchase, use, or dispose of products, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy needs and desires. It takes into consideration how we fit these into our lives. 2. Demographics are the objective aspects of a population. They are the observable measurements of a population’s characteristics. Three examples of such characteristics are: age distribution, gender, and income. 3. Consumers can be segmented according to many dimensions. It is a vital aspect of consumer behavior and describes how marketers divide the population according to those who have special interests/desires for products or services. Once there is an interest displayed by this segment or portion of consumers then that becomes a target market. 4. Role Theory is the perspective that much of a consumer’s behavior resembles actions in a play. We can liken this to the fact that consumers act as role players who need different products to help them play their various parts. 5. Exchange is a transaction in which two or more organizations or people give and receive something of value. It emphasizes the entire consumption process, which includes the issues that influence consumer behavior before, during, and after a purchase. 6. Heavy users indicate which consumers are the most faithful ones. Marketers can most often make their predictions...

...attention; it is quiet and familiar and thus goes unnoticed. Tea is represented as dependable, a frequent part of everyday life that forms a com- fortable, secure basis for the rest of life’s responses, decisions, and actions. As Sigmond declares, the English tea drinker is “in- capable of appreciating [tea’s] value” (1). What the typical tea drinker fails to recognize, Sigmond suggests, is the crucial role that tea plays in forming the foundation of everyday life. Despite Sigmond’s attempts to rectify the humble status of tea in nineteenth-century English culture, tea has remained a 1 2 introduction relatively unrecognized aspect of Victorian life. Just as Sigmond implies that the beverage’s mundane role precludes the tea drinker from appreciating its importance, the continued significance of tea in twentieth-century British society seems to have prevented scholars from adequately analyzing its role in British culture and national identity. As Anthony Burgess has speculated, “Perhaps tea is so woven into the stomach linings of the British that they cannot view it...

...changed from being that small corner coffee shop to a break time lunch location. The city of Toronto for example is surrounded by many different coffee places at every corner of the city, franchises like Starbucks, McDonalds, Timothy’s coffee and Second Cup are only some of the popular coffee places of today’s generation but the question is, do they target the same general consumer population or do they target different groups, and the answer is yes, they are all targeted towards different social classes indirectly. When was the last time that one saw an individual experiencing homelessness was drinking a Christmas drink from Starbucks or eating a gourmet brownie from Second Cup, well the answer is hardly, unfortunately many other franchises such as the ones listed before don’t serve all cliental, meaning, their prices, their marketing and their products overall do not target the population in general, it segregates individuals into their separate classes and financial differences, different franchise are geared to different individuals which not only enforces class segregation but creates an unfortunate consumer identity that categorizes people based on what they consume. Is that really how we should...

...Un-Packing Packaged Cultures: Chinese-ness in International Business Author: Can-Seng Ooi Publisher + year: Published online: 10 July 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2007 Kew words: Chinese business practices . Chinese management . Critical management studies . Foucault Short summary (approx five sentences): This paper focuses on how the Chinese are represented in the international business literature. Chinese cultures are packaged to make knowledge about the Middle Kingdom more accessible to a general audience. This paper concludes that researchers should reflect on the power they yield when they represent another culture, and that the general public may privilege theories that are accessible rather than sound. The author tries in this paper to un-package packaged cultures, meaning that culture is hard to package, because culture is dynamic and heterogeneous. Main points: This paper is inspired via Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge – Therefore when we look at Chinese literature it is important to ask yourself: What is presented? Who is presenting? And for what purpose? All researchers face the same difficulties in framing a culture into a coherent and yet complex entity. A society is diverse, culture changes and it is at times difficult to differentiate between imagined culture and actual reality. Packaging culture is a difficult task because society is heterogeneous and dynamic. Talking about culture has also become...

...Places Of Consumption A discussion of places of consumption should begin where food has been consumed since the beginning of humankind, in the home. In the twenty-first century in most countries the home remains the primary location for eating. That is not to say that the nature of the food eaten in the home has remained constant or that the preparation of the food has not changed. Even the formality and regularity of dining in the home was altered in the twentieth century. During the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century in the United States, dining at home was usually regular (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and occurred at the kitchen table or in the dining room. Food was often seasonal. The heaviest meal (dinner) was at noon or, if the breadwinner worked outside the home, in the evening. If the lighter meal occurred at night, it was called supper. The fare did not include a great deal of variety. The improvement in the means of transporting food and people as well as the advancements in preservation markedly increased the places of consumption and the types of food consumed in much of the world. With modern transportation and refrigeration in mind, this overview examines places where people eat, starting with the contemporary home, moving to the world of work, touching upon the varying modes of travel and places where people play, and concluding with the increasingly vast array of dining-out possibilities. The Home The sit-down meal three times a day at set...

...Describe the biophysical, ecological, economic and sociocultural factors that explain the nature, spatial patterns and future directions of a global economic activity you have studied INTRO The factors that explain the nature, special patters and future directions of viticulture include the biophysical, ecological, economic and socio-cultural factors. BIOPHYSICAL FACTORS The ideal temperature for growing grapes depends on the type of grape. For growing white grapes, ideally the temperature should be 19°C and for red grapes, 21°C. Reaching this ideal temperature is important because it is how the vine produces the sugar needed for plant growth, which influences the colour and flavour of the grape. The scientific reason for this temperature requirement is due to the enzymes involved in sugar production, and the ideal working temperature for these enzymes. Insolation refers to the level of solar radiation; this has an impact on the rate of photosynthesis and therefore affects the amount of plant growth. For this reason there is a certain longitude where grapes grow best. Aspect affects the amount of sunlight received on the vineyard. In the southern hemisphere north and west facing slopes are ideal as they receive more sunlight. Excessive wind results in grapes being damaged and vines become stressed, if there are strong winds it can break off shoots and cause damage which results poor growth and decreasing levels of photosynthesis. Vines generally require approximately 700mm...
