Consumer Behaviour is an exciting, new European text written in student friendly language and designed specifically around how students learn. Using their considerably experience, Martin Evans , Ahmad Jamal and Gordon Foxall present a concise exploration of the key aspects of the Consumer Behaviour in a lively but rigorous manner. They also include topical issues, such as Consumer Misbehaviour, and the growing trend within marketing to attempt to understand consumers through an ever-expanding range of personalised transactional and profile data.
"This innovative and student-friendly textbook combines theory with practical examples and illustrations to bring the study of consumer behaviour to life. I particularly like the “think boxes” which encourage students to ponder issues as they read each chapter. The inclusion of key articles also provides students with a convenient means of delving deeper into issues to gain richer insights into consumer behaviour."

Professor David Jobber, Bradford University School of Management "A particularly well conceived text that superbly demystifies consumer behaviour. The underpinning theory is easy to grasp and its application is so clearly shown. The book's student-centric focus is excellent."
—Professor Leslie de Chernatony, Birmingham University Business School
