, 9) List the three stages of the consumption process, indicating for each stage some of the issues
of concern to the consumer as well as to the marketer.
Answer: Pre-purchase stage:
Consumer concerns: How does the consumer decide if a product is needed? What are the best
sources for information to learn more about alternative choices?
M
Marketers' concerns: How are consumer attitudes formed or changed? What cues do consumers
use to infer which products are superior to others?
ED
Purchase stage:
Consumer concerns: Is acquiring a product a stressful or pleasant experience? What does the
purchase say about the consumer?
Marketers' concerns: How do situational factors, such as time pressure or store displays, affect
the consumer's purchase decisions?
C
Post-purchase stage:
Consumer concerns: Does the product provide pleasure or perform its intended function? How is
O
the product eventually disposed of, and what are the environmental consequences of this action?
Marketers' concerns: What determines whether a consumer will be satisfied with a product and
N
buy it again? Does this person tell others about his/her experience with the product and affect
their purchase decisions?

10) In the early stages of development, what was the field of consumer behaviour known as?
What important understanding of the exchange process does this change in name reflect?
Answer: In its early stages of development, the field of consumer behaviour was often referred

ongoing process, not merely what happens at the moment a consumer hands over money or a
credit card and in turn receives a good or service.
