    Marketing Concepts

    One of the most challenging concept in marketing deals with understanding why consumers behave in a certain way or do what they do (or don’t do). Two major psychological concepts are often used to explain and understand the consumer’s behaviour. The first is the so called in psychology the cognitive psychology in which the focus of the study is the mental behaviour i.e. the internal influence such as perception, memory, attention, attitude, beliefs, values, personality and buying motives. The second psychological concept is the social psychology in which the phenomenon of consumer behaviour is completely influenced by the external forces, i.e. social and referenced groups. There is no doubt that the consumer behaviour is extremely complex due to the nature of human beings differences in all the levels. Nevertheless, a common definition of consumer behaviour is the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes of the buying units and the exchange processes involved in acquiring, consuming, and disposing of goods, services, experiences, and ideas. But such knowledge is critical for marketers since having a strong understanding of buyer behaviour will help shed light on what is important to the customer and also suggest the important influences on customer decision-making.

    Group decision making occurs when a specific group of people make a choice regarding a process or procedure in the work place. Group decision making can also include a group of friends getting together and making a decision where to go for the evening.

    Decision Making Style

    A person has this style if they have a low tolerance for ambiguity and are efficient, rational, and logical in their way of thinking. They focus on the short term and are quick to make decisions, usually resulting in a decision that has been made with minimal information and not carefully analyzing other alternatives. Example: When a manager spots the dirt on the window, and orders the cleaner to clean the window now, that is a directive style decision-making. The cleaner has to follow the instruction, and does not need to ask for clarification.…

    Judgement and Decision Making

    In listen in on the meeting with Ron and the other company my objectives is that I know Ron heard the information that was presented and I believe he was comfortable with what he heard and seen on the presentation because of the way it was presented and because of that Ron made a quick decision.(www.decision-making.com) Sometimes we make quick decision and not really consider the facts but here Ron knew the facts because he seen the presentation plus he had history with this company because they had sold him the equipment and now they were back to show him how the equipment that the company had purchase can work for them. There can be traps in organizational decision-making that can adversely affect performance. The frame trap meaning the way a problem is framed can profoundly influence the choice one makes. I think that Ron would have come to a different decision if he was not familiar with the company and if the company had not sold them the equipment but since they were the ones who sold Ron the equipment the decision was easy for Ron to make and the presentation also helped. I think that if there was no presentation or brochures Ron would have came up with a different decision. What do I believe are the implications of framing our decisions and our attempts to influence others? I will use children for example the things that is instilled in a child when they are young will impact their lives as an adult the reason being if you didn’t instill good thing in your children when they were young when they are older they will make a lot of bad decisions because they wasn’t taught no better although some children still make bad decision and they were well raised as a child. When it comes to decision making most of the time we make…
