Buyer Behaviour Literature Quotes
Consumer behaviour, Peter M. Chisnall (1995) Published London: McGraw-Hill 1995 3rd ed.

Without an understanding of these channels it is nearly impossible to understand why customers from different countries, different subcultures, different economic means, and different religions, families, and other
