PERSPECTIVES ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR ( NB )

Consumer behaviour research can be guided by one of two main perspectives, these perspectives are positivism ( rational reason / one reason why someone behaves the way they do ) and interpretivism ( multiple reasons why someone behaves the way they do ). The positivist perspective emphasises the the objectivity of science and the consumer as a rational decision maker. The interpretivist perspective in contrast, stresses the subjective meaning of the consumer's individual experience and the idea that any behaviour is subject to multiple interpretations rather than to one single explanation.

ETHICS

Ethics are standards against which people judge right and wrong.
