Review
"Marieke de Mooij shows that American theories of consumer behavior do not necessarily apply abroad. Her national consumption data are an unobtrusive measure of national cultures. She has made marketing students discover culture, and her work should make cross-cultural psychologists discover the consumer as an informant."

SYNOPSIS

Consumer behavior is not converging across countries, argues this textbook, placing the question of cultural difference at the center of examinations of purchasing behavior. It bases its discussion of culture and consumer behavior on a model of national culture that distinguishes five dimensions for understanding culture: power distance, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation.
