Understanding the Consumer
- Isabelle Szmigin - University of Birmingham, UK
Marketing
Isabelle Szmigin draws from the most recent analysis in marketing literature and explains how consumers respond and act in the market with particular attention to:
- relationships with suppliers, products and brands
- their innovative, creative and resistant behaviour
- the complexity and unpredictability of their consumption behaviour
- their increasing need to get closer to production
This book bridges the gap between the theoretical discussion of issues in advanced marketing theory and the conventional textbook. The author combines a jargon-free approach to the subject with an illustration of the relevant theory using practical, topical examples from the marketplace as well as drawing on other business related disciplines, including sociology and economics, to support her arguments.
