Get WISE
Wise: watch each decision-making stages
Watch each decision-making stage
Use the 5 Ws as Prompts:
• Who is the consumer?
• What internal, social, external factors influence the consumer? What interactions
does that consumer have?
• When does the consumer make the purchasing decision, and what’s going on before
purchasing, during, and after that decision?
• Where are consumers making decisions? (e.g., home, store, online; may depend on
the decision-making stage)
• Why? Aimless examination of consumer behavior can be dangerous

Human psychology, underpinnings of choice
• Beliefs, attitudes, values
• Motives (drivers of behavior)
• Needs, wants
• Emotions
• Judgment and decision making
• Subconscious and non-conscious influences

to context)
Motivation
Model of consumer motivation
Needs: desires that arise when a consumer’s actual state does not meet his or her desired
state:
• Physiological Needs—innate or primary
• Psychological Needs—secondary
Wants: learned manifestation of needs:
• Product-specific needs
Motivation:
A driving force that moves or incites consumers to act
• Motivation focuses attention on goal-relevant objects.
• Need: negatively originated motivation
• Want: positively originated motivation
