Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade there has been growing interest in the role of information in the promotion of environmentally friendly behaviour. This book examines how and why the provision of such information can affect individual decisions concerning buying or consuming a product or valuing a policy. The information can take the form of a product label or a statement in a survey questionnaire, and the decision can be what product to buy, what food to eat or how to answer a contingent valuation question. The chapters in this volume carefully explore the explanations for consumer behaviour in different scenarios where information is provided about the 'public' implications of individual decisions. The first set of chapters examines the prospects for eco-labelling as a tool of environmental policy from a variety of different perspectives. They also look at how this form of information provision compares with more familiar policy instruments in achieving efficiency goals. In the second and third sections the focus is on environmental and food labelling, in which a combination of private and public motives for purchase decisions is found. Finally, the role of information in contingent valuation surveys is considered, in particular the impact of information and time in altering stated value responses.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 3.8, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, course: MA in Project Management, language: English, abstract: The growing social and regulatory concerns for the environment lead an increasing number of companies to consider green issues as a major source of strategic change. In particular, this trend has major and complex implications on the technological strategy of a company and on its product innovations. Even though it is increased eco-awareness of Malaysian customers during the past few decades, there are some barriers to the diffusions of more ecologically oriented consumption and production styles. Therefore, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of green marketing concepts. The purpose of study was to investigate the consumer attitudes and perceptions towards eco- friendly products in FMCG sector and their willingness to pay on green products. This study was based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from the sample survey that was conducted in the three districts in western province such as Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Petaling Jaya. 160 respondents were selected for the survey and respondents were asked to answer the prepared questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to obtain the consumers attitudes and perception regarding eco-friendly FMCG products under four value added areas such as product designing, packaging, place and promotion that lead towards the motivation of consumption. The secondary data were collected from relevant journals, books and other published data. The study revealed that the green products have substantial awareness among Malaysian customers and they are willing to pay something more on green products. The majority of customers considered that package is most important element of such products. The researchers have recommended some marketing strategies to meet changing mind set of customers towards the green products.

Download or read book Consumer Behavior written by Felix Saito and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces concepts of corporate environmental responsibility and individual environmental responsibility, identify their key indicants, and offer evidence of robust relationships between them. Using correspondence analysis, kitchen purchase behaviour among families is assessed. In addition, consumer behaviour, when it comes to food safety events, is examined. Understanding how consumers conceptualise food safety risks is essential for effective strategic response plans. Furthermore, following the theory of planned behaviour, this book attempts to account for variables which are assumed to have an impact on sustainable consumption. Empirical research published in peer reviewed journals on the topic of consumers and health-related products on the Internet are reviewed. In addition, a new theory of evolutionary games and the concept of Near-Nash equilibrium to simulate the electricity market is suggested. In particular, an opportune genetic algorithm has been developed. As an example of medical-information consumers, the associations between feeling informed about COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and the control of COPD is reviewed. Furthermore, biased consumers' hypotheses on price-quality relationships is addressed. In other words, in terms of the psychology of judgement, certain results can be attributed to an effect caused by a numeral anchor (on the price tag). This book examines consumer acceptance of Mobile learning (M-learning) by proposing and extending the theory of reasoned action (TRA) including the variable of social influences. Literature related to the emerging concept of cost-benefit-associations are also reviewed. Cost-benefit-associations are the degree to which thoughts of costs evoke thoughts of benefits and vice versa. Finally, a model interrelating consumers' ethics, their sentiments toward marketing, and their attitudes to piracy and actual piracy itself were studied. Attitudes about piracy served as a partial mediator of the impacts of consumer sentiments, morals, and ethics on actual piracy.

Download or read book Responsible Citizens and Sustainable Consumer Behavior written by Pietro Lanzini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is broad consensus on the need to shift to a new paradigm of lifestyles and economic development, given the un-sustainability of current patterns. Given this, research on consumer behavior is to play a crucial role in shedding light on the motives underpinning the adoption of responsible behaviors. Stemming from a thorough discussion of existing approaches, this book argues that the perspective of analysis has to be modified. First, acknowledging that a profile of the responsible consumer does not exist since all of us can be more or less sustainable and environment-friendly: the sustainability of an individual should not be considered as given, being something dynamic that changes according to both subjective and contextual factors. Moreover, the book hypothesises that integrating dimensions and perspectives that have been so far overlooked by mainstream research will help deconstruct responsible behaviors adopting a flexible and holistic approach. Relevant policy implications are discussed, and empirical research on responsible behaviors is illustrated. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of consumer behavior, sustainable consumption, environmental psychology and environmental studies in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Product related environmental information is considered to be an important policy instrument for the support of a shift towards more sustainable consumption patterns. Such information aims to guide consumers to choose environmentally improved products in purchase situations. While eco-labelling has had a particularly strong breakthrough in Nordic markets, a number of other communication modes, such as environmental product declarations and producers' self-declared claims have been applied, in both the consumer and business-to-business markets. Furthermore, product related environmental information is meant to promote consumer awareness about products' environment performance. However, to stimulate the desired market transition, consumers need to actually take producers information into account. This report comprises a summary of recent research on how Nordic consumers perceive, understand and use product related environmental information. A comprehensive literature review supplemented with expert interviews forms the foundation for this work. The report highlights well-researched areas and proposes areas where deeper knowledge and understanding is required. The research was conducted cooperatively between IIIEE at Lund University in Sweden, the National Consumer Research Centre in Finland, and Environice in Iceland with the purpose to obtain and present a comprehensive picture of the situation in the Nordic countries

Download or read book Encouraging Sustainable Behavior written by Hans C.M. van Trijp and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly it is being recognized that consumer behavior may be a key trigger in the march toward sustainable development. Several lines of psychological theory and approaches have been developed relatively independently, each of which may provide major implications and action points on how consumers might be moved toward more sustainable behavior. This book is the first that brings together this variety of perspectives and theoretical angles around the common ambition of sustainable development. The contributors are all leading social scientists in the field of consumer behavior who met the challenge to sketch out their theoretical perspectives, but also to go beyond their normal theorizing and think out of the box in order to show how these theoretical perspectives might be made actionable in terms of key managerial and policy perspectives toward sustainable development. The result is a book that shows a wealth of information and approaches the question of how to encourage sustainable behavior from a myriad of divergent perspectives. This should stimulate scientists and policy-makers alike to find similarities, differences, and synergies between state-of-the-art psychological thinking about how to most effectively stimulate sustainable consumer behavior.
