Marketing professionals and the broader business community recognise that the focus of business strategy must be on the consumer. This book presents the fundamental concepts in a contemporary context that encourages the development of decision-making and problem-solving skills. Applying these skills is critical for the assessment of buyer behaviour and the creation of superior marketing strategies.
