Summary

Summary

For Consumer Behavior, Buyer Behavior, and high-level undergraduate or MBA courses.

Scientific, sophisticated, yet readable. Kardes approaches the subject of consumer behavior by using a rigorous scientific orientation, and presents his material in three overlapping sections: basic concepts, persuasion, and managerial decision making. Thus, the text discusses the principles and scientific investigation of consumer behavior and demonstrates how companies and organizations use them strategically every day.
