Consumer Behaviour

Consumer Behaviour

by Jim Blythe (Author), Zubin Sethna (Author)

Synopsis

Informal yet academically rigorous in style, this fun textbook focuses on examples of international consumer behaviour in action, and provides open access online resources to encourage student engagement and understanding.

The book strikes a balance between sociological and psychological aspects of consumer behavior and features coverage of social media, digital consumption and up to date marketing practice.

All content is supported by an array of global international examples and cases from a variety of geographic locations such as United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, USA, and Japan, including different themes as diverse as fashion, education, ethics, travel, age gender and family roles as well as politics, technology and B2B.

New to this edition:

  • A new chapter on sustainable consumption which encompasses the future of consumer behaviour and consumption behaviour.
  • Increased focus on branding
  • A new learning feature around brand experiences which will help students see the relevance of each aspect of behaviour.

Online resources complement the book, featuring a range of tools and resources for lecturers and students, including PowerPoint slides, an Instructor manual as well as selected videos to make the examples in each chapter come to life.

Suitable reading for undergraduate marketing students studying consumer behavior, international consumer behaviour and buyer behavior.

Author Bio
Dr Zubin Sethna is currently Principal Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Entrepreneurial Marketing at Regent's University London. He has successfully launched five businesses and as Managing Consultant at Baresman Consulting, he has integrated marketing/consumer behavioural strategy with management consultancy and training for numerous organisations both in the UK and internationally, and across a variety of industry sectors. He is Editor-in-Chief of the internationally respected Journal of Research in Marketing and Entrepreneurship (JRME) and is also a reviewer for a variety of leading marketing and business journals, including the European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Management, and Journal of Strategic Marketing. Jim Blythe is Visiting Professor of Marketing at University of Plymouth, UK. Jim Blythe has been a Merchant Navy officer, a ladies hairdresser, a business consultant, a rock musician, a truck driver, a company director and an award-winning playwright all before becoming an academic - he always planned on having a varied life and likes learning new skills.

Jim has written 18 books, over 50 journal articles, and has contributed chapters to 8 other books. He has taught overseas, written open-learning packs for international training organisations and has been a Senior Examiner for the Chartered Institute of Marketing. His next venture is to study for a degree in modern languages - having left school at 16 he thinks it's time to get the education he missed out on. He holds four real degrees (including one fake), and therefore feels somewhat irritated that he is mainly known for winning the Cardiff heat of the TV show, Come Dine With Me.
