Chapter 8Decision Making
![Page 2: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Chapter Objectives
When you finish this chapter, you should understand why:
1. Consumer decision making is a central part of consumer behavior, but the way we evaluate and choose products varies widely.
2. A decision is actually composed of a series of stages that results in the selection of one product over competing options.

Chapter Objectives (continued)
• Decision making is not always rational.
• Our access to online sources is changing the way we decide what to buy.
• We often fall back on well-learned “rules-of-thumb” to make decisions.
• Consumers rely upon different decision rules when evaluating competing options.

Learning Objective 1
• Consumer decision making is a central part of consumer behavior, but the way we evaluate and choose products varies widely.

Stages in Consumer Decision Making
![Page 6: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
For Reflection
• Is it a problem that consumers have too many choices? Would it be better to have less choices? How does it affect consumer decision-making?

Steps in the Decision-Making Process
Problem recognition
Information search
Evaluation of alternatives
Product choice
![Page 10: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Problem Recognition
![Page 11: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stage 1: Problem Recognition
• Occurs when consumer sees difference between current state and ideal state• Need recognition: actual state declines• Opportunity recognition: ideal state moves
upward
![Page 12: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage 2: Information Search
• The process by which we survey the environment for appropriate data to make a reasonable decision• Prepurchase or ongoing search• Internal or external search• Online search
![Page 13: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A Framework for Consumer Information Search
Prepurchase versus Ongoing Search
Prepurchase Search Ongoing Search
Determinants Involvement with purchase
Involvement with product
Motives Making better purchase decisions
Building a bank of information for future use
Outcomes Better purchase decisions Increased impulse buying
![Page 14: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Deliberate versus “Accidental” Search
• Directed learning: existing product knowledge obtained from previous information search or experience of alternatives
• Incidental learning: mere exposure over time to conditioned stimuli and observations of others
![Page 15: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For Reflection
• Share a situation in which you searched for information deliberately and one in which you had developed product knowledge incidentally. How would you say the variations in information search affected your decision?
![Page 16: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Learning Objective 3
• Decision making is not always rational.
![Page 17: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Do Consumers Always Search Rationally?
• Some consumers avoid external search, especially with minimal time to do so and with durable goods (e.g. autos)
• Symbolic items require more external search
• Brand switching: we select familiar brands when decision situation is ambiguous
• Variety seeking: desire to choose new alternatives over more familiar ones
![Page 18: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Biases in Decision-Making Process
• Mental accounting: framing a problem in terms of gains/losses influences our decisions
• Sunk-cost fallacy: We are reluctant to waste something we have paid for
• Loss aversion: We emphasize losses more than gains
• Prospect theory: risk differs when we face gains versus losses
![Page 19: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Amount of Information Search and Product Knowledge
![Page 20: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Minolta Understands Perceived Risk

Alternatives
Evoked Set
Consideration Set

Levels of Abstraction
![Page 25: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strategic Implications of Product Categorization
• Position a product
• Identify competitors
• Create an exemplar product
• Locate products in a store
![Page 26: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Product Choice: How Do We Decide?
• Once we assemble and evaluate relevant options from a category, we must choose among them
• Decision rules for product choice can be very simple or very complicated• Prior experience with (similar) product• Present information at time of purchase• Beliefs about brands (from advertising)
![Page 27: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Information Necessary for Recommending a New Decision Criterion
• It should point out that there are significant differences among brands on the attribute
• It should supply the consumer with a decision-making rule, such as if, then
• It should convey a rule that is consistent with how the person made the decision on prior occasions
![Page 28: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Neuromarketing
• Uses functional magnetic resonance imaging, a brain-scanning device that tracks blood flow as we perform mental tasks
• Marketers measure consumers’ reactions to movie trailers, choices about automobiles, the appeal of a pretty face, and loyalty to specific brands
![Page 29: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
For Reflection
• What risky products have you considered recently?
• Which forms of risk were involved?
![Page 30: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Learning Objective 4
• Our access to online sources changes the way we decide what to buy.
![Page 31: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cybermediaries
• The Web delivers enormous amounts of product information in seconds
• Cybermediary: helps filter and organize online market information• Examples: Shopping.com, BizRate.com
![Page 32: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
For Reflection
• Which online sources of information are affecting your choices as a consumer?• Online reviews and ratings• Comments on social networks• Other?
![Page 33: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Learning Objective 5
• We often fall back on well-learned “rules-of-thumb” to make decisions.
![Page 34: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Heuristics
Product Signals
Market Beliefs
Country of Origin

Choosing Familiar Brand Names
• Zipf’s Law: our tendency to prefer a number one brand to the competition
• Consumer inertia: the tendency to buy a brand out of habit merely because it requires less effort
• Brand loyalty: repeat purchasing behavior that reflects a conscious decision to continue buying the same brand
![Page 36: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
For Reflection
• Think of some of the common country of origin effects (e.g., watches, wine). Which ones affect your consumer choices? What could brands from other countries do to compete such effects?
![Page 37: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Learning Objective 6
• Consumers rely on different decision rules when they evaluate competing options.
![Page 38: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Noncompensatory Decision Rules
• Lexicographic rule: consumers select the brand that is the best on the most important attribute
• Elimination-by-aspects rule: the buyer also evaluates brands on the most important attribute
• Conjunctive rule: entails processing by brand
![Page 39: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Hypothetical Alternatives for a TV Set
![Page 40: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Compensatory Decision Rules
• Simple additive rule: the consumer merely chooses the alternative that has the largest number of positive attributes
• Weighted additive rule: the consumer also takes into account the relative importance of positively rated attributes, essentially multiplying brand ratings by importance weights
![Page 41: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
For Reflection
• Provide an example of a noncompensatory decision and a compensatory decision you made. Why did one rule format work for one situation but not for the other?
![Page 42: Decision Making](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051415/55cf9474550346f57ba2238f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Chapter Summary
• Decision making is a central part of consumer behavior and decisions are made in stages
• Decision making is not always rational
• We use rules of thumb and decision rules to make decisions more efficiently
