Active field researchers and award-winning teachers, Hoyer and MacInnis provide a broad conceptual model of consumer behavior to help student to see how all chapter topics tie together. The text also offers a strong marketing perspective, focusing on the implications of consumer behavior research for marketers.A casebook featuring approximately 16-20 consumer behavior cases can be packaged with new copies of the Third Edition, providing students a chance to practice applying what they learn.
Relatively easy to read than the other academic books. Some chapters were really informative and interesting to read such as a chapter that mentioned about exposure, attention and perception. But there was some chapter that was overlapping previous chapters and talking same boring things over and over again.
An outstanding piece of writing that discusses consumer behaviour, which, to my sadness, I would love to read more of, if only I had more time to devote to it.
Relatively easy to understand language, the book is for the most part an information dump... by that I mean there's very little in it that helps to develop higher level cognitive thinking, rather the book is just information to memorize (the lowest level on Blooms taxonomy). It was clearly written by psychologists, as most of the book is focused on CB as considered by experts in that psychology (and in such exhaustive detail as to make you want to tear your hair out). When it moves out of that field to cultural studies, etc., in the later chapters it gets much more vague.
