Consumer Behaviour is the first truly European consumer behaviour textbook, placing the subject clearly within its economic, psychological, sociological and historical context. The authors provide greater insight for readers by examining both the determinants and the consequences of consumer decision making. Antonides and Van Raaij include numerous examples, cases and sociodemographic data and provide complete coverage of core topics together with important new ones. Innovative chapters are included on:
* financial behaviour

* welfare, wellbeing and property

* families and household production

* consumption and the environment

* shopping behaviour.
The authors explore the full consumption cycle, not only the first stages of orientation and procurement, but also the usage and disposal of products.Vom sozialwissenschaftlichen Standpunkt aus wird hier das Verbraucherverhalten in Europa analysiert. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Daten zur Soziodemographie, zur Meinung des Verbrauchers, zum Einsatz von Medien, zum finanziellen Verhalten und zu Umweltaspekten machen das Buch zu einer wertvollen Hilfe in Marktforschung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit.
